THE HOTLIST - THURSDAY, MAY 19TH



CHARLIE SHEEN: ANGER MANAGEMENT OWES MILLIONS



Charlie Sheen is rounding up a posse of lawyers to go after Anger Management executives whom he says owe him millions.

Sheen reportedly signed a lucrative syndication deal for the show and says he hasn't seen a penny of it. The deal gave him ownership of about 30% of the re-runs figures he's owed between $30-and-$40 million for the episodes that have aired. He made 100 episodes of the show before production stopped. Sheen says he's been given the runaround by execs who told him the show hasn't yet turned a profit and that it ran over budget. But the actor is now said to be meeting with lawyers.

DUSTIN DIAMOND: REUNITES WITH MARIO LOPEZ



Dustin Diamond reunited with his Saved by the Bell co-star Mario Lopez, but they didn't reminisce about their old show. They talked about Dustin's time in the pokey for stabbing a guy in 2014.

In the Extra interview, the actor, who played Screech on the cult hit, "spoke in detail" for the first time about the bar fight that sent him to jail for three months. He told Mario his time behind bars was "pretty daunting, it’s pretty scary going into that environment. I found that as long as you follow the rules and stay with the system, it works. You can get in and out unscathed."

Dustin also talked about his sex tape. He admitted that it was a "stunt person" in the video, not him. And of his tell-all book, he says, "They fabricated a whole bunch of stuff… I kind of super railroaded on that."

Dustin says he's looking for a fresh start. “I want to put the tomfoolery and malarkey behind me…for that clean slate. Time for a change."

SUSAN SARANDON: ADULT FILM DIRECTOR?



Susan Sarandon
is thinking about retirement and planning for a possible future in porn. No, she's not looking to spend her golden years appearing in films with titles like Thelma Does Louise and Lorenzo's Oil Massage. She wants to direct.

The 69-year-old actress says she's unimpressed with the porn she's seen over the years and is interested in directing more female-friendly porn. She tells The Times, "I have threatened, in my 80s, to direct porn. I haven't watched enough to know what the problems are. Most pornography is brutal and doesn't look pleasurable from a female point of view. So I've been saying that when I no longer want to act, I want to do that." She adds that most porn doesn't spend enough time focusing on the events leading up to the sex. "A lot of people know what's in the middle," she says. "But what makes a sex act really interesting is how that first touch happens, how that first kiss comes."
