Charlie Sheen's song "Winning" has been seen and heard on his tour, but now the rest of America is getting the chance to watch and listen; the video is now online. Snoop Dogg sings the track, and some of the very pensive lyrics include: "This is for all the winners. If you's a loser, get outta here. This is strictly for the winners. We're gonna win."
Got it. You're winning. Sheen said of the tune:
"... the genesis of the song is about, you know, winning ... it's just everything in life. I think Snoop did a really good job at kind of encapsulating the whole vibe of you know the movement."
Oh, right - we forgot about the movement. But E! got Sheen on the phone to talk about some of the areas in life where he's not winning. He spoke about Two and a Half Men and the show's creator, Chuck Lorre.
"I don't know what they're planning. I'm just plodding along like its over, like there's some closure. ... I have closure now because when Chuck [Lorre ]... issues a statement talking about ... writing shows without me ... that feels like it is pretty final, you know? It's hard."
The actor also spoke candidly about a judge's recent decision to grand custody of his twin boys to ex Brooke Mueller.
"I thought it was a s--t sandwich. Two slices of bread filled with s--t ... Seemed like there were rules in place and it seemed like someone didn't follow them. And there's no consequences, so I don't get it. System is broke, you know."

Jason Trawick certainly has an interesting sense of style.
Britney Spears' 39-year-old boyfriend cruised through LAX while wearing a blue beanie sitting way up on his head, mixed with overly cuffed jeans. Not sure if even Brit would approve of this look. Then again, you know what they say ... love is blind.
Jason and Britney have been an item now for over two years, so maybe before 2012, he'll be putting a ring on it. We're rooting for you Brit!
See Jason's funky look from head to toe ... after the jump.

Fast Five has been generating huge box office numbers, but ... Oscar buzz?
As of Tuesday, the movie had already earned $140 million in ticket sales in North America and almost $200 million overseas. For the fifth film in a franchise, that's pretty impressive. A sixth movie is now in the works thanks to the fifth's success.
But franchise star Vin Diesel seems to think Fast Five has even more potential ... Academy Award potential. The actor told the Los Angeles Times that the films are successful because they reach middle America, but that they're much more than just middle-of-the-road movies.
"I wouldn't be surprised if there is some Oscar talk around this ... sooner or later, people are gonna say, 'Wait a minute, just because they are for the working class doesn't mean they're not great.'"
What do you think -- does Fast Five deserve an Oscar?

Kirstie Alley has been praised for her weight loss on this season's Dancing With The Stars, but are her eating habits getting dangerous? The actress fell twice in rehearsal this week (see video), telling partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy that she felt like she was going to pass out.
Then, Alley revealed that she'd only eaten about 150 calories so far that day, and was only eating 1,400 calories a day total on average.
But do less calories translate into higher scores? The duo performed well, receiving a two 9's and a 10 from the judges. Judge Bruno Tonioli told Alley, "Your body is shrinking, but your talent is huge!"
After their performance, Chmerkovskiy again expressed his distress. "She's not eating," he said. "She's not eating." Alley's explanation? "I forgot," she said.
Speculation is that Alley has gotten down to a size 6; she addresses her size after DWTS rehearsal in our video.
The actress was making plenty of waves on last night's episode; she also accidentally yelled "s***" during the judges' critiques! Check out the video after the jump, and see our gallery for pics of Alley leaving Katsuya in Hollywood Monday night - hopefully she had something to eat!
