Bree Olson, one of Charlie Sheen’s two former “goddesses,” tells the London Sun that she moved out of the star’s mansion because he couldn’t satisfy her sexually. Former porn star Olson, 24, describes Sheen as a “sweet and passionate” man who “knows how to please a woman,” but having two live-in girlfriends proved too much for the 45-year-old actor. “Charlie would try to keep up, but it was tough,” says Olson. “I’m insatiable.” Whenever Charlie chose to sleep with her, Olson said, his other “goddess” would “get very upset, and she would cry a lot.”
Collision ejects motorcylist onto van's backseat
A California motorcyclist who vanished after crashing into the back of a minivan was eventually found in the van’s backseat. Witnesses calling to report that a motorcycle had rear-ended a minivan initially told 911 dispatchers, “We don’t know where the rider is.” After the van driver returned home, he looked over his shoulder to find the biker—dazed, slightly bruised, but otherwise unhurt—lying on the backseat. “We’re calling this one a non-injury collision with a twist,” said a police spokeswoman.
