Charlie Sheen has just entered a plea of not guilty to felony menacing, misdemeanor third degree assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief.

His plea stems from a Christmas Day incident in which the “Two and a Half Men” star was arrested after allegedly threatening his wife Brooke Mueller with a knife.

Since the incident, the couple have reconciled and have both entered rehab programs.

A trial is set for July 21.

“Jennifer Aniston is running all over NYC promoting her upcoming film The Bounty Hunter but when she went on Good Morning America Mar. 15 she totally let her fans down!” claims HollywoodLife, which couldn’t get a story right if we spotted them the R-I-G-H and even the T.

According to HollywoodLife, which rivals the “Bad News Bears” with its consistent errors, today Jennifer Aniston “zipped in and out of the Good Morning America studios Mar. 15 completely ignoring [her] fans!”

What?!

The site then accused Aniston of further dissing her fans by claiming, “You did your interview in the upstairs studio, so the crowd couldn’t watch… GMA is famous for their glass studio smack dab in the middle of Times Square so fans can watch BUT you did your interview in some off set location!”

First of all, from Aniston’s car to the studio’s door – this rainy morning – was just five steps. And who was there waiting for her? Paparazzi, professional autograph seekers and at most 30 fans, to whom she waved while smiling (see picture).

But the most ridiculous allegation is that she “did [her] interview in the upstairs studio, so the crowd couldn’t watch.”

Aniston did NOT choose which studio her interview was in. That’s completely absurd.

But, as we all now know, HollywoodLife prefers being outrageous over being accurate.

Fox plans to make hit “Glee” even bigger when it returns for a second season.

There’s a strong chance the show will do 25 episodes instead of the customary 22. Series creator Ryan Murphy said Season 2 “will be much bigger and much longer,” according to an EW report.

The enhanced season would come on the heels of other big news for “Glee” fans, including the announcement of a live tour and the news Gossip Cop reported over the weekend about future involvement by none other than Lady Gaga.

Tragedy profiteer Tila Tequila is at it again.

Having used miscarriage and death as publicity opportunities, the former reality TV barnacle is supposedly launching a celebrity gossip blog soon.

That’s why Gossip Cop would like to point out her most recent jaw dropper.

Tweeting furiously under a different (again) account, Tequila wrote the following words to woman-beater Chris Brown: “I support you Breezy!!! I got the most LEGIT celebrity Gossip blog launching. Imma blow u tha f–k up! U deserve it boo! #4real”

Let’s take a step back.

Tila Tequila accused her ex, NFL star Shawne Merriman, of physical abuse. She filed a lawsuit against him citing assault, battery, false imprisonment, and emotional distress. She claimed Merriman choked and threw her, at one point shaking her “like a rag doll.”

In the aftermath of Chris Brown’s violence against Rihanna, Tequila was enraged.

(FYI – these links include some pretty ugly language)

“These 2 COWARDS beat women: @mechanicalDummy & @Shawnemerriman and they both got away with it,” she tweeted to Brown’s old Twitter account — @mechanicaldummy.

Later she called them “pathetic excuses of a man” and Brown, specifically, an “arrogant piece of s—.”

“If I ever see @mechanicalDummy in the streets Im gonna pop him in the face,” Tequila threatened.

It made sense, of course, for an alleged victim of domestic violence to be so angry with a man convicted of similarly disgusting behavior toward a woman.

And then, a few months later, Tequila changed her tune after Rihanna told a radio interviewer she didn’t like how Tequila talked about her as if they knew each other.

Tequila responded by doing what only she would do.

She announced that Rihanna had sexually transmitted diseases and declared herself a member of “Team Chris.”

Even for someone with Tequila’s track record, it was a staggeringly classless move, let alone a complete reversal.

Astoundingly, in order to publicize her new blog, abuse victim Tila Tequila is desperately, bizarrely trying to win over abuser Chris Brown.

This is why it matters to Gossip Cop.

Whether we like it or not, Tequila’s popularity means her new gossip site will attract many visitors and a lot of attention. Rumors she starts will make it to other outlets. The site will further pollute celebrity news.

And in the same 140 characters she uses to call the new site “legit,” she proves herself to be anything but.

Gossip Cop usually has to bust bad sites that have been up and running. Hopefully we can help nip Tequila’s influence in the bud before she even begins.

No one is sure of how Fredricka Whitfield came up with it, but when discussing Lady Gaga’s new video, “Telephone,” which also stars Beyonce, the CNN anchor had some sort of disconnect yesterday, claiming the video was banned by MTV.

In the segment with CNN’s Jacqui Jeras, Whitfield said the video was “so strong, so suggestive, so sexual, so violent as well, that MTV has said, ‘We’re not even going to air this, so it has banned the airing of this video.’”

Huh?

MTV never said that. In fact, the music channel had already aired the video two days before.

Of course, that didn’t stop other media outlets from just focusing on Whitfield’s words and reporting everywhere that the network nixed the video.

Just to make clear, the video – despite numerous reports – is NOT banned on MTV.

A spokesperson for network reiterated, “MTV did not ban Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s ‘Telephone’ video,” adding, “Fans can continue to catch the video as we repeat it on-air and online.”

Sounds like Whitfield must had heard the wrong rumor in a bad game of telephone.

It’s never enough, is it?

“Why Won’t Rob Commit?” shrieks Famous magazine.

Yes, it seems Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have frustrated the magazines again with their devious refusal to engage in actual scandal.

“Friends of Kristen” reveal that she has been “left questioning her 23-year-old boyfriend over his reluctance to commit to their relationship by living together,” reports the mag.

Go on.

“She and Rob talked a lot about moving in together while they were keeping their relationship a secret,” says an “LA-based friend” of Stewart. “But when she brought it up again recently, he seemed non-committal and changed the subject.

Now, the tab claims, Stewart is “worrying” and “anxious.”

The actress, the friend tells Famous, “is keen to take things to the next level” and “feels sharing a house is the natural next step.”

Really? The “Los Angeles”-based “friend” thinks Stewart is “keen” to move things up? That’s interesting. We wonder whether this “friend” hails from the “Los Angeles” section of Sydney.

The mag admits it could just be a case of “timing,” since Pattinson is so busy with filming and promotion. Plus, Stewart’s pals supposedly remind her that things are going really well, so there’s “no rush.” “For the most part,” a friend tells the tab, “He couldn’t be a better boyfriend.”

“It’s a strange situation,” the friend says of the supposed stalemate.

Gossip Cop agrees. This is one “strange situation.”

Especially strange since last month Famous declared Stewart was having an “affair” with Taylor Lautner.

(Uh huh.)

But even more troubling than the tab’s consistently dreadful coverage is the fact that Pattinson and Stewart can’t seem to escape ridiculous scrutiny and/or scolding no matter what they say (or don’t say) about their personal lives.

For months they were attacked for being too private.

Then they had the audacity not to choreograph their airport arrivals to match media accounts that they’d “confirmed” a relationship.

Now Pattinson allegedly “won’t commit,” even though the claim is based solely on the fact Pattinson and Stewart don’t live together… which the article itself concludes is explained by timing, careers, youth, etc.

Gossip Cop says again: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have professional obligations and public commitments almost no one their age shares.

NOT among those obligations is to live their personal lives according to a timetable constructed by desperate tabloid editors.

Once again, our thanks to Irish Twilight Sisters for passing along great scans.

Kara DioGuardi’s dad, Joe DioGuardi, a former Republican congressman, is slated to announce tomorrow that he will run for the senate seat currently held by Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).

And the “American Idol” judge is 100 percent behind her dad. “He’s my father, and of course I’m supportive of him. He always encouraged me in my dreams.”

DioGuardi added, “We don’t always agree on every issue. But no matter what our differences are, I love him. He has more energy than anyone I know… He is Superman.”

The songwriter, however, won’t be able to campaign for her dad. 

“If I have one more job, I will fall apart,” DioGuardi told the New York Post, also noting, “I live in California now.”

Like “American Idol,” we’ll just have to wait to see how the people vote.

Today Perez Hilton writes, “Not True! Joaquin Phoenix Not Playing Poe!”

What’s interesting about that headline is that Gossip Cop exclusively busted the rumor Joaquin Phoenix was going to play Edgar Allen Poe TWO DAYS AGO, while at the same time Perez initially called Phoenix’s being (reportedly) tapped for the Poe role an “Inspired casting choice.”

Whoops.

Now, Perez has done an about face.

But what’s also interesting is that for today’s reversal, Perez cut and pasted reporting from ContactMusic, which noted Phoenix’s rep “tells GossipCop.com the star will not be appearing in the picture.”

Huh?

So rather than going to the original source (Gossip Cop) to admit he was wrong, Perez links to a third party, which rightfully gave Gossip Cop credit.

We probably shouldn’t expect more from a guy who still blocks us on Twitter.
