  • Darius Campbell and Natasha Henstridge on Feb. 25 - already hitched 11 days.

Charlie Sheen, late of Two and a Half Men, is sooo beloved, sooo popular, that tickets for the first two performances of his live show, set for April 2 in Detroit and April 3 in Chicago, sold out in 18 minutes, says the Detroit Free Press. Yes, the Vatican Assassin Warlock, as USA Today calls him, has concocted a live show called Charlie Sheen Live: My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option, and he may take it on national tour.

Warlock also has made a short film (posted on RadarOnline.com). Operation Greyhound features the actor-turned-pro-crazyman, in full military camouflage and black beret, rescuing his luxurious trailer off the Warner Bros. lot.

Story continues below.

The film, a biting social commentary on Sheen's dismissal from his $2 mil-an-episode Men job, costars Natalie Kenly, one of his live-in "goddesses." Meanwhile, the National Enquirer claims that since Warlock fell off the wagon in October, he has suffered four potentially lethal cocaine overdoses. Is he sober now? Charlie claims he is.

Tyra Banks, scholar . . .

"When people have low expectations, you're just constantly going, 'Ta-da!' And they're like, 'Wow.' " So says model and TV star Tyra Banks, 37, whose latest pursuit, a turn at Harvard Business School, has surprised not a few fans. Banks, who has been attending the three-part, nine-week Owner/President Management Program since last year, dropped out of L.A.'s Loyola Marymount University at 17 to pursue modeling. Good career move!

Love stories of the rich 'n' famous

In a sultry slap in the face of gossip lovers everywhere, Species star Natasha Henstridge ignored all existing celeb mating ritual rules by conducting a top-secret, unpublicized wedding last month on Valentine's Day. Henstridge, also beloved for her work on Eli Stone, tied the knot with Scottish singer-thesp Darius Campbell after a seven-year courtship. It was a tiny do, with two guests: Henstridge's sons with a previous beau, Tristan, 12, and Asher, 9.

Of celebs literate and literary

James Frey, peddler of the fake true-life memoir A Million Little Pieces, sure knows how to market himself: His new book is titled The Final Testament of the Holy Bible. It's due April 22 (Good Friday).
