Charlie Sheen and Wife Not Divorcing

Neither Charlie Sheen nor his wife Brooke Mueller has filed for divorce, but the documents are in place if they do decide to call it quits. The couple have signed a 41-page agreement, which details the settlement of their split including custody of their 15-month-old twin sons, Bob and Max.

While they will have joint legal custody, Brooke will be the primary carer while Charlie will have the children on the first, third and fifth weekends of each month.

According to the documents obtained by TMZ, Brooke will receive a $757,689.70 lump sum and will also receive $55,000 a month in child support.

Charlie also has two daughters, six-year-old Sam and five-year-old Lola, with ex-wife Denise Richards, and the papers state that "under no circumstances shall the child support paid by Charlie for Bob and Max be less than the child support paid by Charlie to Denise Richards for Sam and Lola."

Charlie will keep the couple's marital home but has to buy out Brooke for $1 million.

The document also stipulates Brooke is not permitted "to disclose to any media sources personal information relating to Sheen's sexual affairs or alleged drug usage" and Charlie agrees to the same.

Since the alleged assault, the 44-year-old actor had been accused of having an affair, which he denied. Charlie is set to appear in court next month after his hearing was postponed, and he is expected to plead guilty to third-degree misdemeanor assault.

Cristiano Ronaldo parades in Armani ads of his first appearance at the World Cup

The world's best footballers have had their thoughts on nothing but the World Cup in recent weeks. But Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, 25, managed to find time to pose for another Giorgio Armani underwear ad.

With impeccable timing ahead of Portugal's Group C opener against the Ivory Coast, newly released pictures see the footballing star showing off his sculpted torso in skimpy briefs and skin-tight jeans.

And judging by the Portuguese captain’s rock solid physique, he has dedicated just as much time to his training off the pitch, as well as on it.

The 25-year-old forward’s latest modelling pictures for Armani have just been unveiled, giving David Beckham’s campaign a run for his money.

The Real Madrid star’s ad campaign for Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear will roll out worldwide in July, with billboards across London, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo.

3 KC filmmakers win Student Academy Award

Three student animators from the Kansas City Art Institute won a silver medal this weekend from the Student Academy Awards in Los Angeles.
For Isaiah Powers, Jeremy Casper and Stuart Bury, Saturday’s ceremony capped a week of meetings and meals with powerful film industry insiders as guests of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The also received a $3,000 grant for their short film, “Dried Up.”
The Student Academy Awards recognize films in documentary, narrative, animation and alternative categories. This year’s presenters were directors Penelope Spheeris and Henry Selick and “Hurt Locker” star Jeremy Renner.
“This opens up so many more opportunities,” Casper, 27, told the Associated Press. “I feel like we have some weight to knock on some doors.”
Past winners in the competition include Spike Lee, Robert Zemeckis, Pixar chief John Lasseter, “Up” director Pete Docter and “South Park” creator Trey Parker. Honorees of the Student Academy Awards have gone on to earn 40 Oscar nominations and seven statuettes.
This year’s finalists came from as far away as the United Kingdom to attend meetings at the Writers Guild, Directors Guild and the American Society of Cinematographers. They dined with the academy’s governors and watched each other’s work at its famous theater.
Casper said meeting successful filmmakers helped demystify the profession.
“They go through the same struggles that we do when we make a film. They’re talking about the same things,” he said. “(Now) we don’t have to put them up on this untouchable pedestal.”
Made over several months in a basement near the KCIA campus, “Dried Up” is a stop-motion short about an old man who scavenges a drought-stricken landscape for items with which he builds an cloud-busting machine which could bring rain to his parched community

Alleged celebrity sex tape shocks modest Indonesia

Police in Indonesia were on Monday investigating video clips that purportedly show three celebrities taking part in sex acts. The images, spreading online and via cell phones, have shocked the modest Muslim nation.
Following police raids on Internet cafes and schools where the videos may have been viewed, the scandal has also sparked concerns over freedom of speech and attempts to punish wickedness.
One of the videos purportedly features pop singer Nazril Ilham, better known as Ariel, with his girlfriend Luna Maya, a model and TV journalist who interviewed Hillary Clinton on her show "Dahsyat" during the U.S. secretary of state's visit to Indonesia last year.
Another video allegedly shows sex scenes between Ariel and Cut Tari, a soap opera star and TV journalist.
All three celebrities have publicly denied appearing in the tapes, saying the people in the footage just looked like them. They could not be reached for further comment.
Police have launched an inquiry over possible breaches of the anti-pornography law, which can be punishable by 12 years in prison. Ariel and Maya were questioned at a Jakarta police station Friday while Tari was questioned separately on Monday, police spokesman Marwoto Futowijoyo said. So far, no one has been charged in the case.
"We are coordinating with experts and the Ministry of Information to determine who uploaded the video. We will also begin to remove the online links to the video," said Zainuri, deputy spokesman for the national police.
There are questions about what will happen next for the celebrities.
Ariel has delayed the release of a new album by his band Peterpan as the scandal shows no sign of abating.
Ariel and Maya were featured in an advertisement for Lux soap, but the campaign has since been wound down. However the company did not specifically point to the scandal.
The first video surfaced last week on several Web sites and went viral through social networking sites Facebook and Twitter. On Tuesday, after the release of the second video allegedly featuring Ariel and Tari, the term "Ariel Peterporn," a spin on the singer's name and his band, became a top trending topic on Twitter.
The videos have sparked protests by conservative Islamic groups and others around the country condemning the celebrities.
Two office workers in central Jakarta told CNN they felt let down by the allegations. One worker, Anindita Oei, said: "I used to think that Ariel was a good, talented person, (but) I was shocked to see the video. Now I feel like he's not a good public figure."
Diah Ayu Sitoresmi said: "I was a fan of Ariel, I used to think that he looked cool, mysterious. Now I just see him like any other misbehaving superstar, and I think from an Eastern culture point of view, videotaping sex scenes is unacceptable and stupid."
The popularity of the videos has also sparked concerns among parents. "Even if I'm confident that my children will not change their moral value if they were exposed to the video, I'm putting precautions in place, such as activating a parental lock on my home computer," said mother-of-three Dian Estey.
The information ministry said it was helping police in the effort to trace the person or persons who uploaded the videos, adding that although officials had no plan for a nationwide Internet censorship move, this was still possible.
Meanwhile, raids on Internet cafes and the search of student cellphones at schools -- both confirmed by police -- have raised fears among defenders of free speech.
"The spread of this video is very worrying, especially if the government or the information minister try to use it to implement a ministerial regulation on new media content," the chairman of the Alliance of Independent Journalists, Nezar Patria, told the New York Times.
"It's kind of a test, not only of how far the anti-pornography law can be used, but also a test of how the instruments of the government respond to content that wasn't around five years ago."
