Charlie Sheen Gave Away All His "Scary Movie 5" Money

We heard yesterday that CHARLIE SHEEN gave LINDSAY LOHAN $100,000 to pay off some of her IRS debt.  That money came out of Charlie's paycheck from "Scary Movie 5".

Charlie was paid $250,000 to do a single scene with Lindsay.  And apparently, he didn't keep ANY of that money.  The rest of it went to three charities, chosen by people involved in the movie, including the director and one of the producers.

NICH ONE CHARLIE!

Cuz we all want to stay healthy this holiday season -

Five Weird Things That Can Make You Sick at a Restaurant – this is from the great and powerful Dr. Oz….by the way:

1.)  Ordering a Steak Well Done.  some chefs use an older cut of meat, because they need to get rid of it and know you probably won't notice.

2.)  Ordering the Buffet.  Despite the 'sneeze guards' they usually have, they're a breeding ground for bacteria

3.)  Using a Tray at a Fast Food Restaurant.  Apparently they're FILTHY, because they don't get washed enough. 

4.)  Getting a Refill of Water.  At a lot of restaurants, they only wash the pitchers once a day, and it's usually at the end of the night.  So throughout the day, they can accumulate a lot of germs.

5.)  Asking the Waiter to Pack Your Leftovers.  They don't always wash their hands before they do it.  And since they're handling money and dirty dishes all day, it's safer to just ask for a box and do it yourself.
