–Near the end, they use their feet to spell out the phrase “All is not lost” in a bunch of different languages. But if you watch the interactive version on the website AllIsNotLo.st, you can make them spell anything you want.

DENISE RICHARDS SHARES DETAILS ABOUT DINNER DATE WITH CHARLIE SHEEN AND HOOKERS

It’s been nearly nine months since Charlie Sheen trashed his hotel room and held a knife to porn star Capri Anderson’s throat, but up until now, the details of that night have been kept largely under wraps. The actor’s ex-wife Denise Richards, who was with Sheen at New York’s Plaza Hotel earlier that evening , has opened up about the actor’s epic meltdown. “Charlie invited me to this dinner with ‘friends,’ and once I realized what these women did for a living, I thought, ‘It’s one meal; you can suck it up and get through it,’” Richards, 40, recalls of dining with Sheen’s porn star pals. She adds, “It’s not my place to judge how they make a paycheck.” Richards goes into further detail in her new memoir, Real Girl Next Door. She explained how she went to bed after having dinner with Sheen, and was staying in a room across the hall from the actor.  About an hour later, she heard several sounds outside her door. The cops showed up and several officers went into Charlie’s room, and a sergeant came into her room.  They questioned the fact that she knew that there were hookers with Sheen while she was eating dinner with him, and Denise claims she told them everything that she knew. “Charlie was put into an ambulance, and I rode with the sergeant to the hospital,” she says. Despite  her long, dramatic history with Sheen, 45, Richards continues to have a relationship with her ex and says,  “I’ll never cut off contact with Charlie. He’s my girls’ dad. As they’re older they’ll deal with him how they can.”

Sheen’s ex wife entered an undisclosed treatment facility in the U.S. last week after having another relapse.

Amy Winehouse’s tragic death has rocked Brooke to her core. Brooke didn’t know Amy, but she says she relates to her addiction with drugs. Brooke says she doesn’t want to die, and she realizes that if she continues to use drugs, she will. Mueller has been telling friends that she doesn’t want to end up like Amy.” As the mother of Charlie Sheen’s twin sons, Bob and Max, she doesn’t want them to be raised without a mother. Brooke is wracked with guilt that her addiction is ruling her life and taking away from the boys. Mueller is being told by her treatment team that she needs to stay in rehab for at least the next three months.

Lady Gaga, serving as a guest judge on Wednesday’s edition of “So You Think You Can Dance,” was moved to tears by the passionate routine contestant Marko Germar dedicated to his mother Sonya, his way of thanking her putting up with his bratty antics when he was growing up. Following Germar’s dance with Allison Holker, Gaga, sporting another one of her unforgettable get-ups, cried, as she was moved by the raw emotion the dancer conveyed with his steps. “I’m just so proud of you, you really love to dance and I know your mom’s here,” the Born This Way singer told the hopeful. “There were so, so many things I did wrong when I was younger, and so many things I wish I could take back. And I felt every moment of that through your dance tonight. “You are absolutely incredible, and congratulations: Number one, number three, number 10, who cares? You got it!” Germar explained how his love for his mother, who had flown in from Guam the day before to watch him perform, had brought out the fire in his belly. “I actually dedicated that piece to her,” Germar said of his mother Sonya, who was seen in the audience looking misty-eyed herself. “I wasn’t the best kid, I was a bit of a brat, I said some things and I wanted to make sure you know that I’m sorry and I love you.” “My hat’s off to you, baby,” Gaga told Moore. “You are my favorite in this competition. I would hire you tomorrow to dance on my tour all around the world.”

Music industry executives, her band mates, close friends and family gathered Tuesday at a synagogue in North London, to pay tribute to Amy Winehouse. Winehouse was found dead at her London apartment on Saturday, and her funeral, held at Edgwarebury Cemetery, was attended by about 150 people. “Goodnight my angel,” her father, Mitch, said as mourners gathered. “Sleep tight. Mommy and Daddy love you ever so much.” “Her father’s eulogy was funny,” a spokesperson for Winehouse says. He told stories about her childhood, people were laughing like it was a celebration, like they all remembered the stories themselves. The hour-long memorial service was partially in Hebrew because of her Jewish heritage. “It was emotional, it was happy and it was sad,” her rep said. When the memorial closed Carole King’s “So Far Away,” one of Winehouse’s favorite songs that she had once performed as a duet with her father, was played. Mourners then headed to the Golders Green crematorium, where the family is following custom by having Winehouse cremated.

CONTROVERSY RISES OVER AMY WINEHOUSE’S JEWISH FUNERAL

Amy Winehouse was laid to rest on Tuesday in London with a traditional Jewish ceremony but it’s become a controversial topic given the circumstances involved. Winehouse, 27, was cremated before she was buried and was covered in tattoos, typically two major violations of Jewish law. According to a Jewish Rabbi, the dead must be buried in the earth, and not cremated, because in order to be resurrected when the messiah comes, there must be a body. He also says that charity work should not occur as a result of a Jewish person’s death, which is what Winehouse’s father planned to do in order to help those suffering with addiction. The Jewish Community Center Chabad In Manhattan Beach, California explains why tattoos are forbidden in the religion. “A person is comprised of a body and soul which are intrinsically connected. Kabbalah teaches us that what happens to our body effects our soul as well. That is why we must be very careful to take care of our body because ‘A small hole in the body creates a great hole in the soul,’ When we change the look of our body synthetically by inserting a tattoo we are also affecting our souls.” It’s unclear who made the decision to have Winehouse’s remains cremated or if she had been actively practicing her Jewish faith.

After saying goodbye at her funeral, Amy Winehouse’s father took comfort in believing she had conquered most of her demons. “Knowing she wasn’t depressed, knowing she passed away, knowing she passed away happy, makes us all feel better,” Mitch Winehouse said Tuesday in a statement. “She was the happiest she has been for years.” Winehouse describes his daughter, who was found dead at age 27 in her London apartment Saturday, as in love, over drugs and in good spirits. Last summer, the singer first stepped out with boyfriend Reg Traviss, who helped her with her problems. Winehouse’s father said that Amy was looking forward to a future with Traviss. Mr.Winehouse also claims that Amy overcame her drug dependency three years ago, and although she was still struggling with her drinking problem, she had been alcohol-free for three weeks and was in the midst of a fantastic recovery. He also said he spoke with his daughter at least three times a day and that the night the soulful singer died, she showed no signs of depression. “She was in her room, playing drums and singing,” he reports. Adding, “As it was late, her security guard said to keep it quiet, and she did.” The security guard found her dead in her bed the next day. Mitch Winehouse is trying to turn the tragedy into something positive. He says he’s setting up the Amy Winehouse Foundation as something to help the things she loved, including children and horses while at the same time aiming to help those struggling with substance abuse. “Amy was the greatest daughter, family member and friend you could ever have,” he says.

When Amy Winehouse passed away on July 23, many jumped to the conclusion that she’d overdosed after a drug binge. But sources claim that what she was really doing, was surprisingly low-key: She laid low at her London home, spent time with her mother, and had a routine doctor’s visit. In fact, while the toxicology results may not be available for weeks, those who knew her say she was much more than a party girl. “She spent most days at home writing,” says one friend. Beneath the disheveled beehive and heavy eyeliner was a slyly hilarious potty-mouth who loved to cook. “Amy was a sparkly character,” says Sarah Hurley, landlady of the Good Mixer, one of Winehouse’s favorite pubs.

Ron Artest is a back-up plan in case the NBA lockout torpedoes next season. Mr. World Peace is currently in talks with “Dancing with the Stars” and is seriously thinking about competing. Nothing’s official yet, but sources say that both Artest and “Dancing” producers have been in touch to hash out a possible deal, and Ron’s pretty excited about the prospect. The only problem is that “DWTS” won’t end ’til November and basketball season typically starts in October, which means if the lockout ends early, Ron could be in trouble. That said, Ron could theoretically handle both commitments simultaneously, because as previously reported, the shows producers are desperate for A-list talent, so there will be no minimum rehearsal requirement next season.

KISS bassist Gene Simmons finally proposed to longtime girlfriend Shannon Tweed on their reality show Gene Simmons Family Jewels, but it turns out, the proposal scene in Tuesday night’s finale was taped several months ago. Sources say that ever since the proposal, it has been a rocky road for the couple. Simmons, 61, and Tweed, 54, were vacationing in Belize when he proclaimed, “you’re the only friend I’ve got. You’re the only one I love, and you’re the only one I ever will love,” before getting down on one knee. It remains to be seen whether Tweed will be saying “I do” and sticking with it. With that being said, she has recently reported that she had moved out of their home and that there was a slim chance of them getting back together. “You’re seeing this happy family,” Tweed said, “but in my heart, I am dying.” The couple, who once described themselves as happily unmarried, have been together for 28 years and have two grown children Nick, 22, and Sophie, 18. This season of Family Jewels has documented their troubles and family therapy sessions stemming from Simmons’s claim that he has slept with thousands of women. Last month, during a promotional tour, Tweed slammed Simmons for his infidelities and said their relationship had pretty much unraveled.
