Welcome, celebrity fans everywhere, to The Hollywood Gossip on this second day of the New Year. Below, we take a look back at the past week in gossip.
Some highlights from the last seven days in celebrity news:
- In the week’s top scandal, Charlie Sheen made death threats and assaulted Brooke Mueller … at least that’s the word on the street. It’s hard to say where this leaves the couple, although both apparently want to reconcile.
