Charlie Sheen pays $12k towards funeral for paparazzo killed while snapping shots of Justin Bieber

Charlie Sheen is continuing on his streak of generosity.
The Anger Management actor has given a check to the family of Chris Guerra, the young paparazzo who died while covering Justin Bieber on the streets of Los Angeles.
According to TMZ, Sheen sent a $12,000 check to Guerra's mother Vicky to help pay for the burial of her 29-year-old son, something he said a parent should never have to endure.
'A tragic incident like this erases the line between the photographer and the subject. It's an unforgiving moment that begs us all to be human and work as one to prevent this in the future,' the father-of-five said in a statement to TMZ on Thursday.
He continued: 'As parents, we are all not supposed to bury our children. My deepest condolences to the families involved.'
Guerra, a freelance photographer, was tailing Bieber’s Ferrari when it was pulled over by California Highway Patrol officers in Los Angeles on New Year's Day.
After being asked by officers to leave the scene for his safety, Guerra was struck by an SUV and later died at a Los Angeles hospital.
Guerra's family opened up to Celebuzz on Thursday to say that they don't blame the 18-year-old Canadian pop star for their son's death.
'Chris loved his work and got on well with people,' Guerra's sister Chantel Brown said in the family's first interview.
'It was upsetting when we read reports that Justin felt ''harassed and stalked'' by my brother because he was just not that kind of person, if anything he was respectful of celebrities.'

She recounted a time in which Justin was lost and Chris helped him get back to his hotel, and said that the family is 'not upset with Justin Bieber.'

Charlie has been in the giving mood as of late, making two very public donations in the past few months.
His season of giving started with dropping $100,000 for Scary Movie 5 co-star Linsday Lohan, who is reported to be in bad debt with the IRS.
But the former Two and a Half Men star claims that Lohan never expressed thanks for his help and was rather miffed by her lack of gratitude.

Generous: Charlie Sheen donated $75,000 to Jasmine Faulk who is battling a rare form of cancer

Weeks later, Charlie's wallet hit the headlines again, this time offering $75,000 for a 10-year-old girl suffering from a rare form of cancer in Huntington Beach, California.
The actor learned of Jasmine Faulk's story after a quick chat with her father, a Huntington Beach police officer.
According to TMZ.com, Charlie's stunt-double Eddie Braun also gave $25,000.

Miss Alabama changes her number and cancels interviews as she fears her relationship with quarterback A.J. McCarron will be seen as a 'celebrity status thing'

Miss Alabama has been forced to change her telephone number after receiving 'thousands' of calls following her now-famous appearance in the stands at the BCS Championship game on Monday.
And amid the swelling attention, Katherine Webb has cancelled eight interviews for Thursday, fearful that her new-found fame will spell bad news for her relationship with Alabama quarterback, A.J. McCarron, whom she has been dating for a month.
Miss Webb, 23, shot to fame after ESPN's cameras panned to her in the first quarter of the game on Monday night, sparking fawning comments from sportscasters Kirk Herbstreit and Brent Musburger.

Focus: Miss Alabama Katherine Webb has cancelled interviews so that her relationship with Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron is viewed as sincere, rather than as a celebrity stunt

Ever since, her phone has been ringing off the hook, Donald Trump, who co-owns the Miss Universe Organization, told Page Six.
'She was forced to change her phone number,' Trump said. 'She was getting thousands and thousands of calls. Katherine has to stay grounded now that she's become a big star.'

 

Webb also told TMZ that she has cancelled interviews scheduled for today because she is concerned her relationship with McCarron will simply be seen as a 'celebrity status' thing.
'I want it to be about me and him,' she said. 'He's a guy I can see myself having a real future with.'

Who's that girl? Miss Webb, quickly became an internet sensation after appearing on camera on Monday

Fans: ESPN broadcasters Kirk Herbstreit, left, and Brent Musburger, right, voiced their admiration for Webb as the cameras picked her out in the crowd during the game on Monday night

She insisted that McCarron had not asked her to cancel the interviews, after TMZ had earlier reported that he was upset about being overshadowed by his girlfriend.
The website had reported that the quarterback was unhappy that media outlets were ignoring his spectacular win over Notre Dame on Monday, and giving coverage to her instead.
But other sources said the sports star just wanted to keep his private life out of the public eye, and wants his team's accomplishments to be recognised instead.
Webb became an internet hit after her appearance at the Miami stadium.
'I'm telling you, you quarterbacks, you get all the good looking women,' 73-year-old commentator Brent Musburger gushed as the camera stayed on Webb. 'What a beautiful woman.'

Speaking out: Miss Webb appeared on the Today show on Wednesday to stick up for the commentators but she has now cancelled other interviews for Thursday

Model girlfriend: Webb, 23, also competed in Miss USA last year and placed in the top ten, left

'Wow!' former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herbstreit added. 'AJ's doing some things right down in Tuscaloosa.'
'If you're a youngster in Alabama, start getting the football out and throw it around the backyard with pop,' added Musburger, who has been married to his wife Arlene for 50 years.
With some media commentators and viewers branding their comments 'creepy', ESPN was forced to apologize on Tuesday.
'We always try to capture interesting storylines, and the relationship between an Auburn grad who is Miss Alabama USA and the current Alabama quarterback certainly met that test. However, we apologize that the commentary in this instance went too far and Brent understands that.'
But the reigning Miss Alabama simply said she was 'flattered' by their remarks.

Support: Webb and McCarron both laughed off the attention, and the QB added: 'I'm the one who's blessed'

'If he had said something along the lines of we were hot or sexy or any derogatory statements like that, that would have been a bit different,' she told the Today show on Wednesday morning.

'The fact that he said we were beautiful and gorgeous - I don't see why any woman wouldn't be flattered by that.'
But as well as Miss Webb herself, her father, Alan Webb, came to the defense of Musburger.
'On one hand, you can look at it as being kind of like the dirty old man,' he said. 'But I'm used to this and I think if you really look into what that he was trying to say, he was trying to be complimentary, and I think they need to give Brent a break.'

A fresh start! Troubled Brooke Mueller keeps her New Year's resolution as she heads to grounding yoga session

Of all people, Brooke Mueller needs some balance in her life.
Charlie Sheen's ex-wife has just completed her 19th stint in rehab, and it looks like she is making a fresh start.
Brooke was seen attending a yoga class in West Hollywood on Wednesday looking more refreshed than she's been in weeks.

Yoga works: Brooke Mueller stepped out for a therapeutic yoga class in West Hollywood on Wednesday

The 35-year-old aspiring jewelry maker wore black leggings and white T-shirt, and she was also covered in a Native American garb including a grey and blue Navaho blanket and black moccasins.
Brooke, whose blonde-streaked hair was long and loose, wore a headpiece from her own handmade jewelry collection as well as a rustic looking necklace.
No doubt the deep breathing and meditation exercises are doing wonders to Brooke's fragile health.

Earth girl: Brooke was decked out in Native American garb including a grey and blue Navaho wrap

The mother of two smiled and waved as she left her class, holding her yoga mat and her skin glowing from the physical exertion.
Before heading home to her three-year-old twins Bob and Max, Brooke stopped into Earth Bar for a cool refreshing beverage.
Just a few weeks ago it was a different story as Brooke's behaviour had everyone worried.
On December 10, Brooke voluntarily checked into rehab to seek treatment for an addiction to Adderall, which is a powerful psycho-stimulant used to treat Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), after she was found unconscious at her home.

Bright outlook: Brooke's red and yellow scarves and her red blanket were eye-catching

However, Brooke checked out of the facility after a short 'detox' of only six days.
The former actress, who divorced Charlie after he assaulted her in 2009, had left her young sons with his second wife Denise Richards so she could recover.
That came to an end once the Starship Troopers star let her know that she intended to take the boys to Charlie's Christmas party.

Colourful accessories: Brooke, an actress-turned-jewelry maker, was wearing an interesting headpiece

Brooke became very upset and told Denise, 'Absolutely not', adding that she didn't want the boys anywhere near her former husband, as reported by TMZ.
Brooke's lawyers allegedly contacted Denise a short while later.
The next day, Brooke's mother Moira reportedly turned up at Denise's house demanding to pick up the children.
Now Brooke is out of rehab and the boys are once again in her care at her home in Tarzana, a suburb of Los Angeles.

Good start: Reese Witherspoon is also a yoga enthusiast and was spotted walking to her class Wednesday too
