Recently, former Miss America winner Vanessa Williams told Anderson Cooper in an interview that "When the child is screaming and saying, 'I don't want to do this. I don't feel like doing it.' When they are using special juice to get them hyped... that's not my world and I would never have my kids do that." According to TMZ, one Toddlers and Tiaras mom, Wendy Dickey, responded by taking shots at Williams: "Posing nude and having an abortion is 'not my world' and I would never have my kids do that... so easy on the judging Vanessa!" Dickey was referring to revelations that the actress and singer made in her new book. Of course, one big difference between the two situations is that posing nude is a choice Williams made for herself, as opposed to a choice she made for her child.

Charlie Sheen is in the middle of a disagreement with a strip club, but not for the reasons one might expect. Cheetah Gentlemen's Club in NYC has a VIP room named for everyone's favorite warlock assassin that is also decorated with photos of the actor, and Sheen's lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter to the club, telling owners to dismantle the room. At first it seemed that the owner, Sam Zhekra, would comply with the request, but now he is refusing to back down. In fact, he plans on throwing a naked party in the Charlie Sheen Room tomorrow.
