CHARLIE SHEEN: Suing National Enquirer for Claiming He Raped Corey Haim

Charlie Sheen is suing the National Enquirer for claiming he raped Corey Haim in the 1980s.

Last month the tabloid reported that Charlie assaulted Corey while they were shooting the movie Lucas. Corey was 13 at the time and Charlie was 19.

Charlie tells TMZ, "In my nearly 35 years as a celebrated entertainer, I have been nothing shy of a forthright, noble and valiant courier of the truth. Consistently admitting and owning a laundry list of shortcomings, wrongdoings and indiscretions this traveler hath traveled -- however, every man has a breaking point. These radically groundless and unfounded allegations end now. I now take a passionate stand against those who wish to even entertain the sick and twisted lies against me. GAME OVER."

Corey's mother, as pointed out in the suit, has denied the allegations.

Charlie is also suing actor Dominick Brascia, who is quoted in the article saying Haim told him about the alleged rape.

HANNIBAL BURESS: Broad City Star Arrested

Comedian Hannibal Buress was arrested Saturday night in Miami and charged with disorderly intoxication.

According to the Miami Herald, the incident began when the Broad City star asked a police officer to call him an Uber. When the officer refused, Buress allegedly became “angry and belligerent.” The cop told him to leave, the police report said, but he instead went inside a venue. The officer retrieved Buress because he thought the comedian was too drunk to stay around.

The officer’s report reads, “Once outside, the defendant stood by the front gate and continued yelling profanities. I, then again, asked him to leave the area about five times. A crowd began to gather and vehicular traffic slowed as they watched the defendant yelling and being disorderly. Defendant arrested.”

The comedian was released early Sunday morning after posting a $500 bond.

A video of Buress being arrested was uploaded to YouTube (but be warned it contains expletives).

CHRIS EVANS, MILLIE BOBBY BROWN: They Stand With Keaton!

Some of the world's biggest celebs are showing support for Keaton Jones, the Tennessee boy whose Twitter plea to stop bullying has gone viral.

The 11-year-old recorded a tearful video saying, "What's the point of [bullying]? Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to them? It's not okay. [They] make fun of my nose, they call me ugly, they say I have no friends."

Dozens of famous people then stood up and wrote to the young boy.

• Avengers star Chris Evans invited Keaton to next year’s world premiere of Avengers: Infinity War. He tweeted, "Stay strong, Keaton. Don’t let them make you turn cold. I promise it gets better. While those punks at your school are deciding what kind of people they want to be in this world, how would you and your mom like to come to the Avengers premiere in L.A. next year?"

• Not to be outdone, fellow Avengers star Mark Ruffalo tweeted, "Keaton, will you’ve my guest at the premiere of #InfinityWar too? I think you are about one of the coolest kids I have ever seen! Can’t wait to meet you in person, pal. Forget those ignorant kids. One day, very soon, they are going to feel pretty stupid for this."

• Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown‏ wrote, "Keaton, this is so accurate. Why do people do this? I think your sooo cool Keaton! I wanna be your friend (but srsly) ur freakin awesome."
