Actor Charlie Sheen pleaded not guilty Monday to domestic violence charges nearly three months after his wife told police in a 911 call he put a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her in Aspen, Colo.
The star of “Two and a Half Men” on CBS is charged with menacing, criminal mischief and assault. Menacing, the most serious charge, carries a sentence of one to three years in prison. A judge scheduled a jury trial for July 21.
Sheen is accused of assaulting Brooke Mueller Sheen at an Aspen home while they were on vacation. Charlie Sheen told police they were arguing but denied threatening to kill her.
British movie star Kate Winslet has separated from her film director husband, Sam Mendes, after nearly seven years of marriage, their law firm said Monday.
The split puts an end to a golden couple of Britain’s show business world, buttressed by matching Oscars and a host of commercial successes and artistic accolades.
The pair’s law firm, Schillings, said the split was “entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement.”
Winslet, 34, shot to international stardom after her appearance opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in James Cameron’s “Titanic,” and sealed her reputation with an Academy Award for best actress for her role in “The Reader” in 2009.
Mendes, 44, was already an acclaimed stage director by the time he won an Oscar for directing “American Beauty” in 1999. He also directed the meditative gangster film “Road to Perdition,” starring Tom Hanks, and “Revolutionary Road,” a film about a crumbling marriage that reunited Winslet with DiCaprio.
