Sources connected with the Charlie Sheen case tell TMZ the plea bargain is still a 50/50 toss up, hours before today's court hearing ... but one thing is certain -- Charlie will not do jail time. Sources tell TMZ there are two options on the table between Charlie's lawyer, Yale Galanter , and prosecutors. We're told neither option includes jail time, and very little or no probation. But it gets even better for Charlie ... he will plead no contest to a misdemeanor -- not a felony, and his work schedule on " Two and a Half Men " will not be affected in any way. We're told Charlie is in the air right now flying to Aspen, where he and Galanter will meet with prosecutors before going to court. If they cannot strike a deal, we're told both sides will ask for a trial date when they appear in court at 3:00PM PDT. If a deal is struck it will be a remarkable feat that Yale Galanter -- who also reps Brooke Mueller -- orchestrated a deal for Charlie … [Read more...] about Charlie Sheen — The Sweetest Deal Ever … Maybe

Kim Kardashian left for Minnesota last night to see Kris Humphries ... and sources connected with Kim tell TMZ she is conflicted over the divorce. We got pictures of Kim as she made her way through the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport at around 5:30 AM local time. We're told Kim flew commercial and was traveling with the guy in the photo ( above, left ) who appeared to be a bodyguard. According to our sources, Kim booked the flight very last minute ( see her below at LAX ) because she felt like she owed it to Kris to talk things through with him face-to-face. We're told no reality show cameras were involved. Our sources tell us ... Kim has been saying even before she filed for divorce that she wasn't sure about ending the marriage. As we first reported, she was crying on and off last weekend before she decided to pull the trigger. Sources say it's definitely not accurate to call this a reconciliation ... or even an attempt at one ... but the door is … [Read more...] about Kim Kardashian — Conflicted Over Divorce, Flies to Minnesota

Instagram / @janine_ray Greased light poles be damned, Eagles fans hit the streets of Philadelphia in the minutes after the Birds won the NFC Championship -- and, at one point, they went so hard, they crashed through a local bus stop!

The WGA East today called for all union health plans to be exempted from the Affordable Care Act’s so-called “Cadillac Tax,” a 40% nondeductible excise tax that is scheduled to go into effect in 2018 on employers who provide high-end health benefits to their workers. In comments filed today with the IRS and the U.S. Department of Treasury, the guild said that “the Cadillac Tax would strip away benefits from the basic package of compensation guild members have struggled for decades to win for themselves and their families.” WGAE contends that “unions and employers negotiate contributions to multiemployer health plans that reflect the economic reality of a particular industry and allocates compensation in a way that meets the employees’ actual needs and aspirations.” The guild said that “to strip hard-working men and women of these benefits” will “deprive them of the benefit of their bargain.” The Cadillac Tax was added to Obamacare on the theory that high-end union health … [Read more...] about WGA East Calls for Union Exemption To Obamacare’s ‘Cadillac Tax’
