Another Charlie Sheen headline:

Charlie Sheen Spends $26K On Prostitutes In Cocaine-Filled Weekend

Charlie Sheen reportedly ran up a $26,000 prostitute tab one weekend in early January -- good thing he makes $1.8 million per episode of 'Two and a Half Men.'

The hard-partying star, whose life has swung out of control the past few months after throwing a fit in a restaurant and then trashing a New York hotel room with a prostitute in a closet, has been living in a drug-fueled trance in Las Vegas, and RadarOnline.com now reports that Sheen's latest outburst involved copious amounts of cocaine and paid-for sex.

Fueled by the drug, the site says Sheen paid $10,000 to a prostitute named Ginger for four hours of sex, and earlier, $8,000 to two others. In one day. They met him at his $40,000 a night suite at the Palms Resort, where he continued to take drugs even as he focused on the tasks at hand.

That's a lot of spending in one weekend. After reading that and the Wonkette article on hooking up with Sugar Daddies, I wonder if we could be heading to a whore-based economy. The problem, of course, is that Sugar Daddies, politicians, and celebrities will become over-leveraged with overvalued whores and the whore bubble will collapse.

I get that police prefer to arrest the hookers rather than the johns, but you'd think Charlie Sheen would have passed the point by now where locking him up would put an end to more transactions than your average vice sweep of Santa Monica Blvd.

I want this couch: Moody Couch

It looks like you can hide inside it....

The design consists of a sofa with a cover that’s much larger than the structure underneath, made from a textile that retains the shape it’s scrunched and pulled into.

Users can wrap themselves up in the cover, create a tall nest-like shape or spill the seating onto the floor.

The sofa keeps this shape once once unoccupied, indicating the previous user’s mood.

Oof, no. That just makes me think of how aggravating it is when you wake up and the sheets and duvet are all bunched and tangled up. I'd go crazy.

I would never get the cats out of that.

I would never get the cats out of that.

And you'd accidentally squish one into a corner and your couch would make that outraged "I'm sleeping here!" noise.

Winter still really sucks (below zero? what is that about?) but they certainly do help.

Apparently there was a furry in outfit at the trans Hasidic wedding. I haven't found anyone that can explain that to me.

I've been looking at some of the pictures, and I think age is making us all look alike. And I've been looking at the SO of the groom's mother, and she's really unreasonably hot. I should stop staring. She was dressed up because the mother had to dress down, and WHOA.

I didn't make any pronoun mistakes, but the groom's sister referred to him by his birth-name, and I was scandalised. RULES, people, RULES.

I think it's a bit awkward for the bride not to tell her family that the groom is trans, but I totally get keeping secrets from your parents. My mother? Horribly scandalised. The cousin we spent the most time with over the weekend? Doesn't get it at all. But she and her sisters did just about everything and then ran back to their mother and told her. She's the weird one, right? Secrets are perfectly cromulent?
