Charlie Sheen's Amazing Ice Bucket Challenge, and a Roundup of More Celebrities' Videos
CHARLIE SHEEN did the ALS "Ice Bucket Challenge," but instead of water, he dumped $10,000 IN CASH on his head. He said he was donating all of it, and challenged "Two and a Half Men" creator Chuck Lorre to match his pledge, as well as the show's stars Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer.
1. Justin Timberlake did it with a bunch of other overly excitable people while wearing a Pink Floyd shirt. If you're wondering WHAT IT MEANS . . . maybe he was expecting to feel comfortably numb?
2. Robert Downey Jr. did it in a sweet-looking pool.
3. Lady Gaga did it wordlessly, while wearing what appears to be a bondage-inspired one-piece bathing suit and black lipstick. It was weird, naturally.
4. Comedienne Amy Schumer accepted the ALS challenge in a bra and granny panties. But instead of ice, she dumped a can of CLAM CHOWDER over her head. We think it's clam chowder, but it could've been something else equally gross.
5. Drake had a waste basket of ice water dumped on his head during a show . . . and then made all the ladies scream by taking off his shirt.
6. Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre was drenched as he pet a dog sitting between his legs. (???) He called the ice, quote, "a little chilly." The dog sensed something was happening, and ducked out of the way just in the nick of time.
7. Ice-cold water makes Kerry Washington scream.
8. James Franco did the challenge in a shower, wearing a Moby Dick shirt, and NO PANTS. He covered his naughty bits though.
9. Jimmy Kimmel actually had the ice water put directly IN his pants. He repeatedly said, quote, "Oh my God, this is terrible . . . very, very cold." (Warning: He says the word NUTS.)
10. I'm shocked that it took so long, but here's Vanilla Ice doing the Ice Bucket Challenge. He said his grandpa died from the disease, and that he's donating $500.
11. Britney Spears really did do the challenge. However, her nominations may have been lip-synched. (Warning: She may or may not say the F-word at the end. Probably not, but it's kind of amusing to think that she did.)
12. Ben Affleck and his wife Jennifer Garner did it together. The Ice Bucket Challenge, I mean. Technically, Ben got the ice, and then tackled Jennifer into a pool . . . but we'll let it slide.
13. Miley Cyrus and her brother Braison did a RICE Bucket Challenge for some reason.
14. The Rock showed off his muscles while getting brisk.
15. Vanessa Hudgens screamed and cried away some laughs after getting the ice.
Sexy Pictures of Famous People
1. (NC-17) SARAH SILVERMAN went TOPLESS on the most recent episode of HBO's "Masters of Sex".

3. VIN DIESEL decided to give his Facebook fans a shot of himself in the shower.
4. He's no SCOTT EASTWOOD, but JACK NICHOLSON'S 22-year-old son RAY isn't a bad looking guy.
5. BEYONCÉ under-boob alert! Beyoncé under-boob alert!
6. When ASHLEY GREENE's nipples want attention, they get attention.
7. Here's RIHANNA wearing some kind of weird, see-through skirt-type thing with marijuana leaves and other nonsense. And she's grabbing her crotch. Of course.
(The guys on "Mystery Science Theater 3000" must have been PSYCHIC. They predicted the onstage moves of Rihanna, Miley, Britney, Nicki and Beyoncé, before any of them were adults. Heck, Miley wasn't even BORN.)
8. For their sixth anniversary, PORTIA DE ROSSI surprised ELLEN DEGENERES by having a skywriter write the word "SIX" in the sky.
9. NICKI MINAJ posted several photos from her "Anaconda" video, in which she's giving DRAKE a lapdance. Drake reposted several of them, including one in which Nicki's hand is in a very taboo location.
10. A farm in New Jersey has a DEREK JETER corn maze.
11. Sexy Video: JESSICA ALBA threw out the first pitch at the Dodgers game on Sunday. Her form was good and the distance was there . . . but she was way outside.
Matthew McConaughey Says You Can Still Wear Fanny Packs . . . But You Have to Wear Them To the Side
Do not fear the fanny pack. That's the word from MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY, who wore his PROUDLY at Sunday's Houston Astros game. He said, quote, "You gotta kinda put it on the side to make it look a little not-as-nerdy, but still . . . I got so much gear in here that I don't want in my pockets, I'm not afraid of the fanny pack."
Val Kilmer Will Sell You a Piece of Sheet Metal with The Word "God" Painted On It . . . For the Low, Low Price of $1,000

Robin Williams Used to Help Homeless People Get Jobs
Here's another of the many, many, MANY reasons it sucks that ROBIN WILLIAMS is dead: Whenever he got a job, he made whoever hired him also give jobs to homeless people.
One guy who tried to book Robin for a speaking gig a while back says, quote, "He actually had a requirement that for every single event or film he did, the company hiring him also had to hire a certain number of homeless people and put them to work.
"There was no publicity surrounding it, and it wasn't widely known. Who knows how many lives he changed by doing that. He was really trying to help people out that were down on their luck."
Lindsay Lohan Will Write Her Memoir . . . As a Trilogy?
LINDSAY LOHAN says her memoir could be a TRILOGY. And she adds that she wants it to be an inspiration to troubled kids . . . quote, "I've experienced all that, so if I could help a boy or a girl . . . I've been bullied in school from doing movies and going back to regular school. If I could help other kids with that . . . that's why I am doing the book."
