Charlie Sheen slashes child support payments to his ex-wives

The actor claims his current financial difficulties prevent him from meeting his obligation to both Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller.

He may have been earning the mega bucks when he was on Two and a Half Men, but it seems Charlie Sheen may have fallen on hard times.

The 50-year-old father of five has cited financial trouble as a reason for drastically cutting down his child support payments to his ex-wives Brooke Mueller and Denise Richards.

According to TMZ, the actor has reached a financial agreement with both Brooke and Denise to slash the payments from about $55,000 USD a month to about $25,000 USD a month.

Apparently the exes agreed to the dramatic reduction in payments as they feared if Charlie applied for it in court, a judge would reduce them to $10,000 USD or less.

Charlie and Denise have mended their relationship following an acrimonious divorce.

Then Brooke took over as step-mother to Sam and Lola before having children of her own with Charlie.

Charlie is apparently undergoing significant financial hardship and is now earning next to nothing, according to the publication.

As part of the deal, Charlie reportedly also agreed to give Brooke some real estate and to do a new show starring alongside Denise.

The Anger Management actor is reportedly liquidating his assets due to a few ongoing legal claims.

Watch Charlie’s shock admission about his HIV status in the clip below.

Taylor Swift will not attend the 2016 MTV VMAs

The pop princess has announced she will be skipping the awards show, despite being a regular attendee at seven out of the last eight shows.
Taylor Swift

Fans of the Shake It Off hitmaker will be disappointed at the absence of their idol at this weekend’s MTV Video Music Awards.

Despite being a dedicated attendee at seven out of the last eight award shows, a source close to Taylor Swift has confirmed that this year, she will be giving it a miss.

“Taylor was never scheduled to attend the VMAs,” says the insider to People.

Perhaps the fact that she received no nominations this year played a part in her decision to eschew the event, compared to last year when she took out a whopping four awards, including the coveted Video of the Year for her hit Bad Blood.

The star may be strategically avoiding an awkward run in with her ex, Calvin Harris.

The 26-year-old may also feel inclined to pass up on one of Hollywood’s more memorable events due to the expected attendance of her ex-boyfriend, Calvin Harris.

The DJ, who is up for three Moonmen at this year’s shindig, hasn’t seen his ex since their amicable split turned “hurtful” when she moved on with actor, Tom Hiddleston, just weeks after announcing their split.

Could another Hollywood A-lister be influencing her decision?

A third and very plausible reason for T-Swizzle’s absence may also be the possibility of a run-in with VMA regulars Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Funnily enough, Ye and Tay’s bad blood began seven years ago at the 2009 VMAs when he famously interrupted her acceptance speech.

The duo briefly put their differences aside long enough for Kanye to fondly namedrop her in a track on his latest album, but as we all know, that backfired rather brutally.

The two were friends… briefly.

The blonde beauty denied ever having knowledge of the lyrics “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous” despite Kanye’s insistence on a call he made informing her of the tongue-in-cheek words.

Last month, after a long he-said, she-said battle, Kim Kardashian, who has just been announced as a VMA presenter, finally put the speculation to rest by exposing the phone call, incriminating Taylor as she can be heard clearly giving Kanye the go-ahead.

Listen to the exposing phone call in the video player below! Post continues…

The 2016 VMAs are set to air live from New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Taylor is currently situated in The Big Apple, so it’s only natural that the speculation surrounding her expected absence is the stuff of a wild dream…

Taylor has been laying low by the side of her new beau, Tom Hiddleston.

Renovation dream: Delightful cow shed conversion in Queensland

"Most sensible people would have bulldozed it," says owner Sarah of this historical outbuilding come charming country retreat.

Sarah and Andrew had been dating for less than a month when Sarah clapped eyes on the dilapidated outbuilding on Andrew’s 2ha property. “You have to save it!” she exclaimed.

Andrew, who is the director of Hillhouse Architecture could also see the value and charm of the barn, even though the building was a skeleton of its former self. Deep within a meadow of noxious weeds, it was riddled with not one but two species of white ants, under a peeling, rusted roof. “It was basically a ruin,” says Andrew.

It wasn’t until 2006, when the couple had married and were living in the property’s cottage, that they decided to embark on what became the three-year task of restoring the barn.

The barn is available for holiday rentals. For more information visit, The Barn at Hillhouse.

“Most sensible people would have bulldozed it,” says owner Sarah of this historical outbuilding.

Andrew, Sarah and George with Wojtek, a Jack Russell/red cattledog cross, and their aptly named pony, Cheeky.

The couple created a built-up entrance inspired by Japanese design. The coffee table was found at a dump, stripped back and cut down. Outside, there’s plenty of firewood for winter fuel.

“Sometimes we’ll take the dining table out onto the grass and eat under the stars,” says Sarah.

The bed was specially made to fit into one of the bails, the frames where cows were secured for milking.

Weatherboard walls were restored or replaced. “There was a hundred years of manure on the walls, so there was lots of cleaning to do,” says Sarah.

This separate bath house was constructed from recycled materials and new timber.

Andrew and Sarah keep three Dexter cattle on their property, continuing a long local association with dairy breeds.

Sister’s sacrifice: Girl survives Italy’s earthquake after sister saves her

What a beautiful act of love in the most tragic of circumstances.

A four-year-old girl has been pulled out of the aftermath of an earthquake in Central Italy after her older sister sacrificed her life by throwing herself on top of her in act of true love.

The two girls were found buried by debris in Pescara del Tronto following the 6.2 magnitude earthquake.

“Giulia died saving her sister. She lay on top of her,” the girls’ great-grandmother Angela Cafini told The Daily Mail.

“That is the only reason she is alive. I am told she has no injuries and that is the only explanation for that,” she said while weeping at the thought of the two girls holding eachother as their house crumbled around them.

The earthquake affected multiple villages in central Italy, killing nearly 250 people, The NY Post reports.
