Charlie Sheen issues cease and desist and Beyonce gets a journalism award. It's the top stories trending online in The Pulse.
Unhappy Charlie Sheen
Charlie Sheen is known for cavorting with porn stars but he doesnt want his name associated with a New York strip club that named a VIP room "The Charlie Sheen Lounge". They changed the name after Sheens attorneys sent the club a letter requesting they stop expoliting their client but refuse to take the actors photos off the walls.
Ashton Ad Gets Pulled
Ashton Kutcher's new commercial for Popchips has been pulled after some say it's racist and offensive. In the ad, Kutcher is featured playing a variety of characters in a spoof dating commercial, including an Indian guy named Raj where his face is painted brown and he's speaking in a fake Indian accent. After heavy criticism, Popchips has removed the ad from the web and YouTube. The founder and CEO of Popchips apologized on the company's website saying his team did not intend to offend anyone and that he takes full responsibility to anyone who was offended.
Beyonce Gets Journalism Award
You can add "journalist" to Beyonce's long list of accomplishments. The National Association of Black Journalists announced it's giving Beyonce Knowles a writing award later this month for an article she penned for Essence magazine last year. In the article, called "Eat, Play, Love," the singer described her 9 month break from the music business in 2010. She'll receive the NABJ award at a may 15th event in New York.
"The Avengers"
Marvel comics come to life again in "The Avengers." Samuel L. Jackson is "Nick Fury", the head of an international peace keeping agency. A dark threat to the planet leads him to put together a team of super heroes.
One Hungry Lion
A lion at Portland's Oregon Zoo apparently thought this little boy would make a delicious treat. No matter how much the lion pawed or lunged at the little guy, thick protective glass kept him safe, and mom says he never was frightened.
