Kate Middleton & Prince William's Wedding Honored with Royal Stamps

Looking for a way to class up a love letter? Look no further than the Royal Mail's forthcoming sheet of stamps commemorating the engagement of Prince William to Kate Middleton.

The stamps, which will be available for purchase on April 21 – notably the Queen's Birthday – will feature two portraits shot by world-renowned photographer Mario Testino. The first stamp replicates the official engagement portrait taken in the Royal Council Chamber, while the second is a less formal shot snapped in the Palace's Cornwall Room.

This is not the Prince's first time on a Royal Mail stamp. He was previously featured on a sheet of stamps celebrating The Queen Mother's 100th birthday in August of 2000, and, in 2003, his 21st birthday was commemorated by stamp as well.

These specific engagement stamps, which can be ordered online starting April 7, mark the beginning of a new tradition, as Prince William is the first of the queen's grandchildren to have his wedding commemorated by the Royal Mail. Before these stamps could be released, they were seen by Prince WIlliam and the Queen, who gave them their, well, stamp of approval.

Wow.  I'm jealous of Kate Middleton.  Not that she's marrying a prince (well I kinda am), but she gets to be on a stamp! And I'm just going to point out that I do feel a little special because my birthday will forever be remembered as the day of the royal wedding and it's on the stamp. :) But as for the article, I think that it does a good job of explaining the stamp and being to the point.

One-and-a-half men – and a troll?

After unloading on his sitcom boss, Charlie Sheen has turned his colorful rhetoric toward his Two and a Half Men costar Jon Cryer.

"Jon has not called me," Sheen, 45, tells E! Online. "He's a turncoat, a traitor, a troll. … Is it going to take me calling him a 'traitor, juvenile and scared' for him to get it?"

Sheen, who was fired from the show Monday, has lashed out at series co-creator Chuck Lorre, but praises others. Actors Angus T. Jones, Conchata Ferrell, Melanie Lynskey, Marin Hinkle, and director James Widdoes are "not trolls" because they reached out to him, he says.

As for Cryer, if he should now contact him, Sheen says, "What's there to say? I'll tell him, 'You're a little late. Goodbye, troll."

Continues the actor, "When I'm starring in multimillion-dollar films and he's begging me for a supporting role, I'll say, 'You left me out in the cold with all of your guilt and stupidity.'"

A source close to Cryer, 45, insists to the site that the actor has indeed reached out to Sheen, but has declined to comment publicly out of respect.

I like this story because it explains the story and the situation very well.  I also liked the opening line of the story.  As for Charlie Sheen, he needs to get over himself.  So what if he thinks the guy didn't call him.  He just wants attention and is mad that someone might not be giving it to him.

I forgot what week this is: 2/4/11

Sarah Hyland 'Creeped Out' by Charlie Sheen on Twitter

Charlie Sheen may have skyrocketed to a million Twitter followers in record time, but when it comes to the select few he's chosen to follow himself, not everyone is honored.

Modern Family star Sarah Hyland expressed her disgust when Sheen, who only follows 26 people, decided to add her to the tiny group of people whose Tweets he wants to read.

"FYI, I've never met @charliesheen in my LIFE, and he's following me now?" the adorable actress, 20, Tweeted. "Really creeped out. Ew. #notwinning."

Perhaps Hyland took a hit of criticism from Sheen fans, because she has since removed the Tweet, and replaced it with, "The only CS I'm ever talking about again is CS Lewis. Classic."

Needless to say, the Two and a Half Men star, 45, no longer follows Hyland.

A rep for the actress confirms Hyland wrote the original Sheen-bashing Tweet, but has "no comment."

I chose this story because I loved the pictures they used.  Sarah probably had a look really close to that when she typing that first tweet and Charlie looks like a very scary creeper.  Whoever chose the pictures did a very good job.   I probably would've used the same ones.
