Charlie Sheen gets trashed by Insane Clown Posse (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) – Perhaps Charlie Sheen should have thought twice about agreeing to go face-to-face with horror-rap duo Insane Clown Posse's infamously rowdy fans -- semi-affectionately known as Juggalos -- this weekend.

Sheen didn't exactly get showered with affection while hosting the annual Gathering of the Juggalos, which was held at Cave-In-Rock, Ill. from Thursday to Sunday -- more like showered with debris.

The ousted "Two and a Half Men" actor -- who's preparing to star in a small-screen adaptation of the Jack Nicholson film "Anger Management" -- encountered a bit of, well, unmanaged anger during his guest stint at the yearly festival.

Serving as host for Saturday's festivities, Sheen was greeted with boos -- and no small number of projectiles being hurled at him from the audience.

At least he did slightly better than Tila Tequila, who claimed to have been pelted with bottles and feces during her Gathering of the Juggalos appearance last year.

And who knows? Sheen's less-than-adoring reaction from the crowd might serve as good practice for his Comedy Central roast, which airs on September 19 -- the same night as Ashton Kutcher's debut as Sheen's replacement on "Two and a Half Men."

Charlie Sheen to return in new sitcom (AP)

NEW YORK – Former "Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen is planning a return to series television in "Anger Management," a new sitcom based on the 2003 film of the same name.

No network is attached to the series, which will be produced by Lionsgate Television and distributed by a subsidiary, Debmar-Mercury, the company announced Monday.

No co-stars or production start date were disclosed.

Sheen will retain a "significant ownership stake" in the series, said Lionsgate.

In the film, which starred Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler, a mild-mannered man is ordered to attend group anger-management sessions led by a therapist who needs therapy himself.

Pink Floyd star's son Charlie Gilmour jailed (AFP)

LONDON (AFP) – The son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour was jailed for 16 months on Friday for an alcohol and drugs-fuelled attack on Prince Charles' convoy during a student protest in London last year.

Charlie Gilmour, 21, had pleaded guilty to violent disorder in May but was granted bail until Friday's hearing at Kingston Crown Court in southwest London in order to complete his exams at Cambridge University.

The former model was found to have hurled a bin at Charles' car and was also accused of smashing a window at a high street store, and was photographed hanging from the Cenotaph war memorial in London during the riot on December 9.

Judge Nicholas Price, passing sentence, said: "It would, in my view, be wrong for me to ignore who the occupants of the three cars were and that's undoubtedly an aggravating feature."

"You should have known better than to behave in such a criminal and reprehensible way," he said.

The judge said Gilmour would spend half the sentence in jail.

David Gilmour adopted Charlie Gilmour when he married his mother Polly Samson. The couple watched from the public gallery as he was sentenced.

Gilmour claimed he had not known what the Cenotaph was.

"For a young man of your intelligence and education and background to profess to not know what the Cenotaph represents defies belief," he said.

Cambridge University would not confirm whether Gilmour would be allowed to resume his studies after he had served his sentence.

"The college notes the gravity of the offence and is firmly opposed to public disorder," said a spokesman for Girton College, where Gilmour studies. "Due legal process has been observed and Mr Gilmour has been tried and sentenced accordingly."

The court heard Gilmour had turned to drink and drugs after being rejected by his biological father, the writer Heathcote Williams, and had taken LSD and valium in the hours leading up to the violence.

Gilmour's barrister, David Spens, said the events of December 9 were a "slap in the face" for Gilmour, which prompted him to stop taking drugs the following day.

The protests last December involved thousands of students demonstrating against the British government's plans to raise university tuition fees to ?9,000 (10,045 euros, $14,825) per year.
