Charlie Sheen's new TV show is going to be based on the 2003 film Anger Management. Sheen will play the part that was Jack Nicholson's in 2003, but apparently "will stray a bit from the movie role."

Brad Womack will not appear on TV next week when Emily Maynard is interviewed. Says Chris Harrison: "While he gave his blessing for Emily to speak on their behalf, his emotions are still just too raw and he wasn't ready to speak openly about it all yet." Aww, man! Brad Womack man tears were a big part of my drinking game rules for this thing.
