Just as life appeared to be looking up and headed in the right direction for actor Charlie Sheen things have taken a decided turn for the worst over the holidays. Events leading up to an incident described by police authorities as domestic violence have resulted in the arrest of the 44 year old actor in Aspen, Colorado. The wife of Sheen believed to be the apparent of victim of the domestic altercation was allegedly attended to by paramedics at the Hollywood couple Aspen home. However, Brooke Mueller Sheen, a real estate investor, is not officially named as the accuser against Sheen in this matter.
Apparently, the unknown accuser was not hospitalized after the violent altercation in spite of the initial 911 emergency callout that summoned the ambulance to the Sheen home where the domestic altercation took place. An Aspen based lawyer for Sheen have already warned against the public jumping to conclusion regarding the altercation and subsequent charges facing the actor at this time. Sheen's lawyer Richard Cummins also declined to name the accuser of Sheen in the matter as attorney client privileges allow. Confirmation of the actor Sheen who spent his Christmas day not at home with the family but instead behind the bars of a Colorado jail cell subsequent release was issued by the Pitkin County Jail, Aspen.
Facing felony charges, Sheen was released after payment of his $500 USD bail bond was paid in full. He was advised of the strict conditions of his bail then allowed to go on his way. It is unclear whether or not the actor returned to the home of the domestic altercation under the circumstances. Sheen has had his fair share of run ins with the law and is no stranger to the ramifications once police involvement warrants charges brought forth again himself. Sheen first faced domestic violence charges in 1996 after a violent altercation with then girlfriend lead to his arrested in which he plead no contest and was given 2 years probation.

The Tiger Woods Scandal - Why Do Men Cheat?
The world of the esteemed and respected Tiger Woods has imploded like a stack of cards. Everywhere you look there are more tawdry revelations newly released into the mainstream media. Previously, Woods as the long standing hero of the golfing world could do no wrong. Maybe, that is the main factor for such unceremonious and uncharacteristic behavior also known as adultery. However, Woods has yet to commit the cardinal sin of also running off with the sordid woman playing a part in the demise of a marriage as so many Hollywood once respect by all celebrities have sadly done at the shock and dismay of those who watched in disbelief.
Maybe there is hope for him yet. There is nothing more disarming than being the "other" woman and acknowledged homewrecker to something that is meant to be sacred and abiding between two people who have come together in a realm of formal commitment to one another. Such woman never lives down the stench of such behavior or the subsequent title of 'HOMEWRECKER." Angelina Jolie knows oh too well the woes of being one whom opening pursuing the men of other woman. The outcome of such behavior and such alleged relationship is never good. As the saying goes 'once a cheater always as cheater.' Woman would not be wise to expect an acquired man and relationship under such circumstance will be any more than them also becoming the one cheat upon and ultimately left for another.
Maybe, in Tiger Woods case he was in a vulnerable state at the time of his nuptials not long after the passing of his father. The vulnerability a person can experience during the time of such a most heart wrenching occurrence is enough to blind ones emotions or lead a person to believing they too needed to take stock of their lives. For most men and woman for that matter this does mean settling down and starting a family of their own. However, when the relationship is already on fragile and unstable grounding the inevitable is the straying of both a partner's fidelity and affections. The question is then why do men cheat when the obvious falling out of love with their wives or partners has occurred. One would conclude the inevitable ending and subsequent parting of the relationship is eminent and just a matter of time before one or both party head for the door permanently.
So, why not spare the no longer beheld partner the humiliation of infidelity and respectfully part especially when child are involved. If fidelity in a marriage has arisen to the point of a partner looking outside of the marriage then before anything unforgiving occurs then would be the time to exist the marriage and or relationship to spare the ultimate and unavoidable pain of unfaithfulness and betrayal. The problem may be that some men want they cake and eat it too. This is absurd as no man really passes off such behavior without themselves getting burned in the end too. Look at Tiger Woods, for future example.

Nicolas Cage to Face $36.7M Lawsuit
The financial status of Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage continues to decline in the wake of his departure from longtime former business manager Samuel Levin. Cage known for his very privately kept life now finds his laundry otherwise known as financial affairs aired on network broadcasts and headlining national rag mags weekly. His stoic Hollywood private demeanor is considered to be that of old Hollywood when actors sought to become actors rather than flaunted celebrities. Stories of the 46 years old actor begin to surface just months ago, when Cage confirmed his own lawsuit against former business manager Levin.
Not longer after the filing of the lawsuit Cage faced foreclosure of several of his US based homes. Cage's homes in the French Quarter and Garden Districts of New Orleans valuing $6.8 million were lost to foreclosure auction in November 2009. Cage reported defaulted on the New Orleans based homes owing in access of $5.5 million in back mortgage payments. Also, owing was $157, 730 in taxes to the City of New Orleans for real estate taxes. Both homes were later purchased by Birmingham, Ala.-based Regions Bank for $2.3 million and $2.2 million.
Just when the actor thought things could not possibly get any worst his financial problems have only escalated. The aloof actor now faces a $36.7 million lawsuit brought against him by Red Curb Investments after defaulting on $5 million in loans. Red Curb Investments have also alleged that the financially troubled actor failed to disclose the issues surrounding his tax debts estimated at $6 million. The disgruntle investment firm accuses Cage of over exaggeration of his personal assets noted as leverage for repayment of the loans. Such claims are already being grossly denied by Cage's lawyer who adamantly dismissed the claims in a statement released to the press. Meanwhile, Cage faces another lawsuit for $13 million brought against him by his former love interest Christina Fulton.
Cage attended his newly screened film called 'Bad Lieutenant - Port of Call New Orleans' at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2009. And, more recently the private actor was honored for his admirable humanitarian efforts in Africa. The United Nations awarded Cage for humanitarian work. The U.N. Correspondents Association's Global Citizen of the Year award was presented to Cage for humanitarian endeavors by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The UN topped the evening off by also appointed the financially troubled actor with a goodwill ambassadorship for the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime. Upon receipt of the award Cage stated that new his role will allow him "to shine a spotlight on the need for global justice."
