Ten years on from his very public meltdown, Charlie Sheen has shared his regret about turning down a rehab trip he now feels would have saved his career. The actor was reflecting on his 2011 firing from his hugely popular CBS sitcom Two And A Half Men following a series of tumultuous events in his personal life, including his guilty plea to a charge of domestic violence. Sheen was the highest paid actor on TV at the time, earning £1.3million an episode. In a new interview he recalled one particular moment when he now feels his career could have been saved. He said top telly executives arrived at his home with an offer for him to fly via private jet immediately to rehab. Sheen told Yahoo !: "There's a moment when [former CBS CEO] Les Moonves and his top lawyer, Bruce, were at my house and they said, 'OK, the Warner jet is fuelled up on the runway.

THE BBC is to set a target for recruiting more working class employees as part of a diversity shake-up under its new director general.

Figures from the BBC’s most recent annual report showed that - of staff who responded - 61 per cent came from a family where the main breadwinner was a professional or senior manager. Just 26 per cent had manual workers as parents. I firmly believe that at this time you’ll rarely hear or see anyone like me on BBC TV or network radio. This has to change. Mike Sweeney, BBC Radio Manchester … [Read more...] about BBC to set target for working class employees in new boss’s diversity drive to better ‘represent audiences’

WELCOME back Gareth, you have been away for far too long. Some 162 days after his return from Real Madrid, Tottenham finally saw the best of Gareth Bale. The Wales superstar celebrated only his third Premier League start of the season with a wonder show to batter Burnley. Bale rolled back the years as he scored twice - including the opener after only 68 seconds - and set up another for Harry Kane with a brilliant long-range pass. But forget the goals and the assists, there was one moment in the first half when he knocked the ball one side of as Burnley player and sprinted past him the other side to collect it, leaving him trailing as though he were Maicon. The former Inter Milan and Brazil full-back must still have nightmares after the way Bale roasted him in the Champions League a little over 10 years ago.
