LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A new Charlie Sheen denial is prompting a rewind of his “winning” ways. Charlie Sheen says he was in denial during his “winning” rants months ago. He now tells news that he didn’t realize that his career was not on track as he then thought.

Sheen’s denial revelation is in the new issue of Rolling Stone. For the magazine’s cover news article, Sheen is asked what he now thinks about his first days after being firing. Sheen tells news that, while he proclaimed he was winning at the time, he now admits he wasn’t. He takes a jab not only at himself but also his tour.

He also tells news that he is happy with his current relationship with ex Denise Richards. He considers her a best friend and admits there is nothing physical with Richards. And as to drinking, Sheen says there is nothing wrong with it. But he tells news that he refuses to add ice to his vodka. “I’ve always said that ice is for injuries, ha ha.”

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Charlie Sheen is not dead. But Charlie Sheen death reports are not winning over fans either, today. Charlie Sheen did not die in a snowboarding accident, while on vacation, in a Swiss resort, near the Zermatt ski slopes. If all those storylines sound more familiar than a rerun of Two and a Half Men, then they should. The infamous Zermatt death story is back from the grave in reruns today, after striking Adam Sandler most notably this year.

Charlie Sheen is #winning, but not for his snowboarding. Sheen is the victim an infamous fake celebrity death story of 2011. Yet many fans are starting to get savvy. Fans do not need a sip of Tiger Blood to remember that (1) Zermatt snowboarding death stories, and (2) Route 80 car crash stories, are the work of Global Associated. G.A. is an infamous website that has reused more predictable storylines than any episode of Love Boat.

In October 2011, Adam Sandler made news after many fans fell for a fake snowboarding story published by G.A. Since then the story has been reused often, with other celebrities. But despite that, many fans each week fall for the next round of Zermatt and Route 80 assaults.

From Charlie Sheen to David Guetta, Tamra Barney to Omarion, fake celebrity death stories are fueled by different sources. Most recently, Beyonce fake death reports were begun on Facebook and Twitpic. This summer, on Twitpic, someone took a screengrab of Beyonce’s face, cut in a news company’s logo, and exclaimed that Beyonce was dead, citing the fake Twitpic as proof.

Most recently, someone started a fake “RIP Beyonce” Facebook page. Then they headed to Twitter, Facebook and MySpace and began to repost the RIP Beyonce Facebook page.

The other more recent inventions have been the misuse of the re-tweet. Someone chooses a celebrity, then writes up a fake death story, than adds “@newscompany” to make users think that someone is re-tweeting the story from a news company.

In the end, if it’s Route 80, or Zermatt, G.A. most often makes news. Today’s fake report is simply a cut and paste job. “The actor & novice snowboarder was vacationing at the Zermatt ski resort in Zermatt, Switzerland with family and friends. Witnesses indicate that Charlie Sheen lost control of his snowboard and struck a tree at a high rate of speed” reads the fake report. If you look up the one for Adam Sandler, it reads exactly the same way. The image of the “dead” person is the same for Sandler as for Sheen and everyone else that G.A. uses. And if you read that someone perished hiking Australian cliffs, (Brad Pitt, Natalie Portman, and George Clooney), it’s false as well. For fans, the fake celebrity death reports seem to have no end.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Amy Schumer’s Ryan Dunn joke is being defended by some viewers of the Charlie Sheen roast midday Tuesday. But last night, Amy Schumer was under fire for her remarks; many viewers were furious by the joke, calling it not funny and nor appropriate. Don’t tell that to Schumer’s fans, and some of Ryan Dunn’s fans, who today are coming to the comic’s defense.

Monday night’s television attention was suppose to be on the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars. But based upon ratings from last night, it wasn’t. Viewers instead were turning into the Charlie Sheen roast and his character’s death on Two and a Half Men.

By evening, the biggest subject on Twitter, however, was not Chaz Bono’s dancing or the Two and a Half Men premiere. Rather it was a “punch” of Steve-O by Mike Tyson and a joke by Amy Schumer. What did Amy state? When referencing the death of Ryan Dunn, Shumer said that Steve-O must have been thinking “it could have been me” and everyone else was thinking “why wasn’t it?”

The joke made headline news last night after nearly a thousand viewers were commenting about the remark’s appropriateness. By midday today, however, fans of the comic and even fans of Ryan Dunn are defending the remark. “She did exactly what she should have done on that roast” said one viewer, calling the criticism of the joke simply “selective outrage”.

The comic has yet to comment about the telecast on her twitter account by midday Tuesday. But she did tell fans last night “Put on comedy central immediately. It’s the least you can do #sheenroast it’s time!” Many viewers thought that Ryan Dunn would have approved of the joke; other said the joke was neither controversy nor in bad taste. “Amy Schumer didn’t “cross the line” with the Ryan Dunn joke, it just wasn’t funny.”

But criticism was split last night and today. Many felt the subject of the death was not appropriate since drinking and driving killed Dunn and his colleague. “I can’t believe Amy Schumer tried to make a joke about Ryan Dunn. So messed up” wrote one viewer. “I know it’s a roast but that Ryan Dunn joke was a bit much.”

Some viewers were troubled about the backdrop of the joke. West Goshen Police Chief Michael Carroll told news in June that Dunn was more than two and half times the legal limit, driving a .196, at the time of his death. Ryan Dunn’s crash took not just the actor’s life but also the life of his passenger, production assistant Zachary Hartwell. Chester County Coroner’s Office ruled the two died of a blunt force trauma and resulting fire.

During his crash, Dunn lost control of the Porsche, sending it to the right, hitting the guard rail. The rail did not support the impact. The rail was ripped off its structural base of piles. Dunn’s Porsche went airborne, over the barrier, into thick brush of trees and foliage. The vehicle burst into flames. When a tow truck service arrived, all that was left were mere fragments of the Porsche.

Beyond Dunn’s appearances in Jackass, Dunn also appeared in Blonde Ambition (opposite Jessica Simpson) and Law and Order SUV. He was currently working on “Proving Ground” for the G4 Network at the time of his death.
