Charlie Sheen wasn’t in the mood to answer questions about his health and finances in a recent interview, where he gave blunt responses after being asked.

The Golden Globe-winning actor, who has previously opened up on his positive HIV diagnosis, wrote in his memoir that he felt a sense of “relief” once he got the diagnosis.

These days, Charlie Sheen has mostly remained sober after years battling with substance abuse and p-rn, which cost him some roles in Hollywood.

Sheen savagely shut off his host when he was asked personal questions about his health status and finances in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

The “Two and a Half Men” star sat down with the publication to discuss his Netflix documentary, “aka Charlie Sheen,” which was released on Netflix on September 10, 2025, as a “love letter” to his father, Martin Sheen.

However, when asked about his health, the actor seemingly got “a bit annoyed” with the interviewer, responding, “I think my presence answers those questions.”

The interviewer then doubled down and asked him about his finances, to which he shot back, with his own question: “Would you ask me that question at a dinner party in front of my parents?”

“I’m fine,” he insisted.

The Actor Came Clean About Being HIV Positive

Perhaps Sheen was “annoyed” with the question because he has always lived his life like an open book, especially after coming clean on his HIV-positive diagnosis in 2015. 

The diagnosis coincided with years of controversies that trailed him as a result of his addiction to drugs, alcohol, and prostitutes.

At the time, he noted that he paid about $10 million to keep his condition private and didn’t know “entirely” how he contracted the virus.

However, the intent behind telling his story via the documentary wasn’t to revisit the scandals he’d survived but to take a retrospective look at the highs and lows of his life.

“I have been approached a couple of times, but it never actually got to an in-person meeting,” the star said, per Fox News Digital. “It was just a couple of phone calls, or I’d read a pitch breakdown for how somebody thought they should document my history, and none of that spoke to me at all.”

“I saw a guy that wasn’t interested in a lot of the [tabloid] cr-p,” he said, referring to director Andrew Renzi. “I saw a guy that wasn’t there to exploit anything, that was there to celebrate the cool sh-t and to be sensitive, but honest and thorough, with the not-so-cool sh-t.”

Charlie Sheen Reveals How He Felt After Learning About His Diagnosis

Sheen endured so much pain in the years leading up to his diagnosis, especially as his addictions took the better part of him.

In his memoir “The Book of Sheen,” he wrote about how he attempted to keep his wild, drug-fuelled lifestyle private, but his “stabbing, nonstop clusters” of headaches coupled with “delirious night sweats that redefined ‘waterbed’” forced him to seek medical attention.

“I had convinced myself if I did go, the malady they’d uncover would be that of grave consequence: brain cancer, spinal meningitis, a dying liver,” he wrote. “They tapped my spine as soon as I arrived, and that was an experience I woulda been fine never owning.”

He added, “When they finally got to the bottom of it, and informed me I’d joined the luckless ranks of the hivvers – I didn’t say a word. I found a place way out beyond anything that wanted to be looked at, and sent a stare that wouldn’t arrive for a hundred years.”

The Actor’s Diagnosis Gave Him A Sense Of ‘Relief’

The “Anger Management” actor then noted that he felt some sense of “relief” after getting his diagnosis, per Fox News Digital.

“The relief of knowing an entire discipline of high-tech medicine was at my disposal to drive that bastard into submission,” he wrote. “To counterattack the invaders, the doctors loaded their expertise into what seemed like every IV bag in the city.”

“The pricey meds couldn’t kill that f-cker, but they could keep it from killing my spirit,” he added.

Meanwhile, what is left of Sheen’s fortune remains unknown, but at the peak of his career, he was the highest-paid male actor on television, commanding a whopping $1.8 million per episode of “Two And A Half Men.”

However, a highly publicized exit from the show in 2011 due to his addictions triggered a multi-year downward spiral.

Charlie Sheen Has Been Sober For Over Eight Years Now

It is believed that the combination of Sheen’s substance abuse, costly divorces, child support payments exceeding several ten thousand dollars a month at the time, and the alleged $10 million paid to extortionists prior to his 2015 HIV-positive disclosure has taken a dip in his pocket.

Over the past eight years, he has maintained that he’s been sober and has since effected a change from his old way of life.

“There really aren’t challenges with sobriety,” he said, per Fox News Digital. “I’m not connected to the people of the past.”

Sheen continued, “If I were to go back to those choices to numb myself, get out of my head, or feel differently, I have so much evidence that it’s only going to make things worse and more complicated. I’d suddenly be steeped in shame. And with that comes deceit and manipulation. All that cr-p doesn’t fit in anymore.”

Another day in the Love Island USA villa means another night where a couple has sex in front of everyone — and then gets mocked for it.

During the Friday, June 18, episode of the show, Jen Terry and Gabriel Vasconcelos celebrated their recoupling by hooking up — again — in full view of the other Islanders. The next day the others poked fun at Jen and Gabriel covering themselves up with a sheet despite everyone knowing what they were up to.

The episode ultimately ended with Gabe being banished from the villa by the girls. Jen and Gabriel previously solidified their bond when night cameras caught them having sex. The duo weren’t shy when discussing their chemistry with their fellow Islanders.

Gabriel, specifically, had previously turned heads when the Islanders had to read out sex facts and figure out which of them it was about during a challenge. One of the revelations was that an Islander slept with someone in their 50s.

“I was out and I was having a good time with my friends. She started talking to me and she was hot as f*** for her age,” Gabriel, who is 26 years old, said about his encounter with the 52-year-old. “We had a good night together. She had a lot of experience.”

Gabriel’s sexual history was then joked about when narrator Iain Stirling compared him to a “reverse Leonardo DiCaprio” due to the actor’s dating history. In addition to Gabriel, season 8 of Love Island USA features Aniya Harvey, Bryce Alakai Dettloff, KC Chandler, Mackenzie “Kenzie” Annis, Melanie Moreno, Sincere Rhea, Sean Reifel, Trinity Tatum, Corbin Mims, Kayda Bosse and Zach Georgiou.

Sol Dean, Jen and Caleb McDaniel are the newest group of bombshells who entered the villa in hopes of breaking up some couples.

Love Island USA follows a group of singles who must pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa. The contestants — referred to as Islanders — live in isolation in a villa under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and earn a shot at the $100,000 prize.

While the islanders are filming nonstop for weeks, viewers are watching daily episodes and casting votes that affect the couples and the fate of the contestants.

Bunnie Xo is setting the record straight after rumors spread like wildfire that she had started dating Chad Kroeger.

Speaking on the Thursday, June 18, episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast,  Bunnie, 46, shot down the romance speculation that emerged after news broke that she and Jelly Roll, 41, had split.

Bunnie explained that she had not been posting new content on her social media for a period of time while she was in her healing era but had shared a throwback clip that featured the Nickelback singer.

“The news drops, I have f**king Nickelback on my page,” Bunnie said. She noted that she was unaware of when the break up news would be made public and insisted it was just a case of poor timing.

Bunnie Xo made some cryptic Instagram posts hours before news broke that her husband Jelly Roll filed for divorce. On Monday, June 15, Bunnie (real name: Alisa DeFord) posed in lingerie for her Instagram Story and included the intriguing caption, “She’s getting her sparkle back.” In a separate Story, she shared the quote, “Come here, […]

Bunnie said that the footage was recorded at one of Jelly Roll’s shows in Las Vegas in 2025 and explained that she nicknamed Kroeger “Daddy Chaddy” as “a joke.”

“I am not with Daddy Chaddy. There’s no f**king way in hell that that would even be a thing. And no, I did not cheat on my husband and leave him for Chad, and like, none of that. Like, please,” she said.

Bunnie added that despite the rumors about her and Kroeger’s relationship status taking on a life of their own, the narrative is inaccurate.

“This is so wrong. I am not dating Chad Kroger. I am so sorry to Chad and Nickelback for this happening. It’s embarrassing,” she said.

Bunnie added, “God, it’s just so f***ed up that the internet can just run with a narrative and people just f***ing run with it.”

She concluded, “So there is no Chad and Bunnie Xo.”

After the episode dropped, Jelly Roll took to stage on the Saratoga Springs, New York leg on his tour to confirm there was no infidelity on Bunnie’s part.

“Nobody cheated on nobody. She just did a whole podcast about it. You can go watch it. Every word of it is the truth,” he told the crowd, describing the internet as “liars.”

Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s recent social media activity has taken on a whole new meaning after their breakup was confirmed. News broke on Monday, June 15, that the Grammy winner (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) filed for divorce from his wife (real name Alisa Andrea Carter) after nearly 10 years of marriage. According to […]

Earlier this week, Us Weekly confirmed that Jelly Roll quietly filed for divorce from Bunnie back in May.

According to court documents obtained by Us, the country singer cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, adding that the “parties are unable to live together successfully as Husband and Wife” any longer.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie tied the knot in August 2016. While Bunnie revealed in 2024 that she went through fertility treatments, the pair welcomed no children together. Jelly Roll, for his part, is a father of two. The Grammy nominee shares daughter Bailee with ex-girlfriend Felicia Beckwith and son Noah Buddy, 9, with ex Melisa Ann Cowell.

After delivering an Emmy Award-nominated performance for HBO’s The Penguin, Colin Farrell continues to dominate television with his Apple TV series Sugar. Now, the genre-blending crime thriller returns to the streamer for Season 2, and while talking with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Farrell explains that this time around, their team wasn’t “building a plane mid-flight” like their first go-round, but that their new showrunner and writer, Sam Catlin, “explored new avenues” and made it a joyful collaboration for the star and executive producer.

In Sugar Season 2, the charming investigator, John Sugar (Farrell), refuses to give up the search for his missing sister, but in the meantime, has also taken on a new case to search for the older brother of an up-and-coming boxer. Now, as his investigation expands to a city-wide conspiracy, Sugar has to decide what he’s truly willing to do for what’s right.

In this interview, Farrell talks about his contributions to Season 2, working alongside Catlin and the crew, and keeping production in Los Angeles. He tells Collider that fans can expect even more of the mythology to be explored in Season 2, plus shares his hopes for doing “four or five seasons.” Don’t miss all of this, and Farrell’s favorite Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan films, and an exciting tease for Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II.

Colin Farrell Reveals His Favorite Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan Films

“Everything just came together so perfectly.”​

COLLIDER: Disclosure [Day] is great, and Emily Blunt is amazing.

COLIN FARRELL: I heard she’s extraordinary in it, man. That’s so great. I can’t wait to see it. I watched Close Encounters last week again. It gets better every time.

What is your favorite Spielberg? I’ve been asking everyone this. We ran a supercut this morning with Jack Black, Matt Damon, everybody talking about their favorite Spielberg.

FARRELL: My son’s is Jurassic Park, which I love. I’ll never forget going to the UCI Cinema in the square in Tallaght in Dublin and walking up to the cinema, and they had stickers of T-Rex talons all the way leading from the cinema, all the way up to the concession stand. I’ll never forget the lights going down and that thing coming on.

But for me, in my later years, Close Encounters, like in the last 20 years, and in the first 25 years of my life or whatever age I was, five when I saw it, or six when I saw it, E.T. So this trilogy, or the idea of Disclosure Day being an organic, natural conclusion to a trilogy of questions about what is out there I’m so excited about it.

Because Chris Nolan has The Odyssey coming out, what is your favorite Chris Nolan?

FARRELL: I just thought Oppenheimer was perfect. I thought everything that Chris Nolan and his folks have… every creative waters and intellectual waters that they’ve swum in before, and sound design and the visual accouterment of film, and the performance and the writing, it all just came together. Like when you see Star Wars, and then it goes like this? That was Oppenheimer. Everything just came together so perfectly.

But I really enjoy The Prestige. That’s the one I go back to, man.

I love The Prestige.

FARRELL: Or The Dark Knight.

[Laughs] Basically, you have three answers.

FARRELL: Gold, silver, and bronze.

Before I jump into Sugar, which you’re fantastic in, I definitely have to ask you, coming from Collider, when are you putting on the makeup again and filming a certain sequel?

FARRELL: They start, think, in a week. Is there a plan for you to go over and see?

I would pay someone to let me go do that.

FARRELL: I don’t have the power to charge such an invitation, but it’ll be an amazing set to be on. The script, I’ve said before, and you know, I said it to you, it’s extraordinary. It really is. Matt [Reeves] is just so brilliant, and he just cares so deeply about the stories he tells. I will go fly to London in four or five weeks. I haven’t got much to do on it, but I’ll go for four or five weeks. I’ll be there for a few weeks. I’m so excited to see it as a fan.

I’m over the moon.

FARRELL: I can’t wait.

Colin Farrell Thinks ‘Sugar’s Main Character Would Hate AI

But what would he think of pickleball?

Jumping into Sugar. John Sugar is obsessed with human culture, and I’m curious, of these 2026 Earth things, tell me if Sugar would love them or be completely baffled by them.

FARRELL: Tell me. Lay it on me.

AI-generated movie trailers.

FARRELL: [Laughs] Hate, hate, hate. He loves human beings. He loves the tactility of human beings. He loves how flawed human beings are. That’s kind of one of the things that fascinates him, how broken we are and how, through those fractures and those breaks, we are still capable of decency. So, anything that’s as synthetic as that, no.

Pickleball.

FARRELL: Yeah! Cool. Yeah. Bizarre. His alien antennae are like, “What the fuck?” But yeah, cool.

Trend cycling.

FARRELL: What is it, even?

I looked that up. It’s E-bikes, custom designer bikes…

FARRELL: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think he’d be cool with that. Anything that he can move through the world with — he loves that car. That car is not something that keeps him away from the world, it’s something that allows him to move through the world with grace.

Driverless robo-taxis.

FARRELL: Hate. Hate.

We’re on the same page.

FARRELL: I mean, I want to throw a Molotov cocktail at every Waymo I see. Well done. Someone’s getting rich, and drivers are going to be out to work. Well done.

What’s funny is people don’t realize what’s going to happen in five years with all the people driving, but we’re off on a tangent. People wearing spatial computing or VR headsets at coffee shops.

FARRELL: [Laughs] I’ve yet to see it myself. Is it happening? Have you seen it? I’m sure it’s happening. Of course.

I’ve seen it a little bit.

FARRELL: Someone in the enthrall of an orgasmic moment at the coffee shop with their latte. Oh my God, I haven’t seen it. He would hate it. He would hate.

Smartwatches that track your exact stress levels and yell at you to breathe.

FARRELL: Uh, like this Oura Ring I have? No interest. Neutral on that one.

How Long Could ‘Sugar’ Go on For?

“Shooting in LA is extraordinary and uncommon.”

Jumping into specifics, for people who were intrigued and loved the sci-fi aspect of Season 1, what do you want to tease them about Season 2 with the mythology?

FARRELL: It’s explored a little bit more. It’s deepened a little bit more through a certain very important personal relationship that Sugar has. But I would love to get four or five seasons out of this.

I was going to actually ask you that.

FARRELL: I would love to get four or five seasons. I can’t get a straight answer out of Apple because they pretty much go season to season, which I get, it’s a business, based on the viewership and all that kind of jazz. So, I don’t know if it’s a month or two months after this would screen on June 19th. It’s probably that. Two months later, we’ll know whether we get a third season or not. But I would love to. And part of the reason why I would love to, I think, is because there’s a really interesting way to further explore the mythology that was introduced in the first season.

You have a new showrunner with Sam [Catlin] coming in for Season 2. Can you talk about what it was like meeting with him at the beginning and the conversations you had in terms of, “This is what I loved about Season 1. This is what I think we could do differently in Season 2?” What were those conversations like, and how much input did you have or want to have in the storyline and the mystery that would happen this season?

FARRELL: Sam wasn’t the showrunner on Season 1, but he became our primary writer on Season 1, as well, and he did an extraordinary job. And yeah, we were kind of, as we said, building a plane mid-flight on that season very much and managed to pull it off, and at least get a second season. So, for him to have time and have a writers’ room, which he did, and bring in writers that he trusted, I trusted him. He broke a story, the story was really exciting, explored some new avenues, and honored what we established in the first season at the same time.

I came in about maybe two months before we started shooting and started having more conversations, and it was a constant work in progress. We weren’t as up against it; we had the scripts. We didn’t really have all the scripts in place when we started the first season, but the second season we did, so it just became an opportunity to modify what we had in a really fun way, and it was great.

I love being part of the creative process. It’s fun for me, man. It’s not to do with ownership. I don’t feel a preconditioned desire to put my stamp on it. I don’t need to touch anything. My ego has no need to change a word, but sometimes things ask to be kept alive in a way that means they’re constantly changing and evolving and growing as you’re shooting them, and that’s okay, too. That’s an interesting sandbox to play in, as well. So yeah, I was up for it.

I just want to commend you guys on filming in LA. It’s so important to the community.

FARRELL: I love it! California, sort it out.

It also adds so much to the show. Can you talk about filming in LA, what it means, and also, how do you decide where the car is going to go because you film in some great places?

FARRELL: It’s magic. The car is a tricky one because evermore they’re trying to stop you from doing things like drive, and they want to put you on a stage with LCD screens, which are really impressive, annoyingly, because they’re always fighting, “Can we just go ahead and drive, and put someone in the passenger seat?” I’m old school, like, “Just put someone with a camera in there.”

But shooting in LA is extraordinary and uncommon. That’s one of the most attractive things about doing the show. I get to be home, get to be with my kids, and it’s a much more interesting city than maybe it gets credit for, Los Angeles. It’s a much more culturally deep and rich city, as well. There’s extraordinary music, extraordinary theater, albeit smaller than in New York or even Chicago, perhaps, but it’s so culturally eclectic. I’ve grown to love LA, and to have it as kind of the foundation upon, the canvas upon which all these stories can happen and these lives from various divergent cultural origins can converge, it’s awesome. I love it.

Taylor Swift may have sparked fresh album rumors with her latest late-night recording session, but insiders claim the superstar is working on something far more personal. 

As speculation swirls around her upcoming wedding to Travis Kelce, sources say Swift has been quietly crafting a heartfelt love song dedicated to her fiancé. 

With wedding plans reportedly entering the final stretch, the singer’s latest studio visit has fans wondering whether her next release could double as the ultimate wedding gift.

Taylor Swift sent fans into a frenzy this week when she was spotted arriving at New York City’s famed Electric Lady Studios.

Swift reportedly spent nearly ten hours inside Electric Lady Studios, arriving shortly after 8 p.m. Monday and leaving around 6 a.m. Tuesday.

The sighting immediately fueled rumors that the Grammy Award winner was secretly working on her next album. However, according to a source, Swift’s latest project may have nothing to do with a new record cycle.

Instead, the insider claims the pop star has been focused on creating something specifically for Kelce. “Taylor is creating a beautiful love song for her future husband. She has been writing it for the past few weeks, she’s very excited about it,” the source told the Daily Mail.

According to the insider, the track is shaping up to be “a sweet ballad” featuring “a hypnotic chorus.” The song is also expected to offer a glimpse into the private side of the couple’s relationship.

“The lyrics will be about what makes their relationship click and will hint at the special, private moments they have had together,” they added. 

Swift Could Debut The Song On Her Wedding Day

The reported plan doesn’t stop with writing and recording the track. Sources claim Taylor Swift may be preparing to unveil the song in a way only she could.

According to the insider, the 36-year-old is considering performing the ballad during her wedding reception before releasing it publicly on the same day.

“It seems like Taylor has been recording the song in New York City as a single to be released on her wedding day, that sounds like a move she’d make, but who knows,” the source explained.

The insider pointed to a similar move made by another music star. According to them, “Blake Shelton released his wedding song for Gwen [Stefani], We Can Reach the Stars, and put it on one of his albums – so it’s been done before.”

Taylor Swift May Have Bigger Plans Than Just One Song

While the wedding track alone would be enough to excite fans, insiders suggest there could be even more music on the horizon.

“There has been talk that she will record an entire wedding album, but that is a lot, who knows,” the source said.

Still, those familiar with Swift’s creative process believe such an ambitious project would not be impossible. 

The insider pointed out the star’s fast writing skills as well as her multiple ideas, noting that it would be a piece of cake. 

Even so, another source cautioned that details surrounding any music tied to Kelce remain tightly guarded. 

They explained, “She’s always writing and recording, but if she were writing a song for Travis, that’s not something she’d share with a lot of people. That’s just not her style.”

Swift And Kelce Continue To Guard Wedding Details

As excitement builds around the pair’s rumored wedding, very little has been officially confirmed.

Reports have suggested that a large celebration could take place at Madison Square Garden on July 3, while other insiders believe a smaller ceremony may happen first at Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island estate.

Some sources have even speculated that the Madison Square Garden rumors could be intentional misdirection designed to keep the real plans hidden.

Despite conflicting reports, insiders insist there is significant anticipation surrounding whatever the couple has planned.

The pair have reportedly gone to extraordinary lengths to keep details under wraps, with sources previously claiming guests were required to sign nondisclosure agreements before receiving information about the event.

As a result, every public appearance and social media sighting has become a source of intense scrutiny.

Taylor Swift Appears Relaxed As Wedding Rumors Intensify

While fans continue searching for clues, sources say Swift herself remains remarkably calm. This week, attention shifted to reports of bachelor and bachelorette celebrations happening on opposite sides of the country.

Travis Kelce was spotted enjoying a night out with friends, including brother Jason, at Bird Streets Club in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, activity reportedly increased at Swift’s Rhode Island mansion, where heightened security and several guests were observed on the property.

According to reports, Swift’s childhood best friend Abigail Anderson Berard was seen holding a child on one balcony, while four women gathered on a rooftop terrace nearby.

Despite the mounting speculation, insiders insist neither Swift nor Kelce appears overwhelmed by the approaching wedding.

“She doesn’t seem stressed about the wedding or details at all. She’s been relaxed leading up to it and it’s all been business as usual,” a source said.
