RI nightclub fire joke deleted from Sheen roast (AP)

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Comedy Central says it plans to delete from the upcoming broadcast of a Charlie Sheen roast a joke about victims of a Rhode Island nightclub fire that killed 100 people.

Network spokeswoman Aileen Budow says the joke was delivered by Jackass comedian Steve-O. She says it'll be omitted from the final edit of the "Roast of Charlie Sheen" airing Sept. 19.

The joke refers to the victims in The Station nightclub fire in West Warwick in 2003 as "nobodies."

Rhode Island comedian David Kane's son Nicholas O'Neill died in the fire. Kane says he was insulted by the joke and asked for it to be pulled from the broadcast.

Sheen was fired from the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men" in March after a meltdown during which he claimed to be a "rock star from Mars."

Longoria's Vegas nightclub closes amid money woes (AP)

LAS VEGAS – A Las Vegas nightclub owned by "Desperate Housewives" co-star Eva Longoria is temporary closing its doors amid financial troubles.

Longoria's Beso club within the CityCenter complex on the Las Vegas Strip closed Monday to save money.

Beso LLC bankruptcy attorney Lenard Schwartzer said Wednesday that the restaurant attached to the club will remain open because it is profitable.

He says the nightclub could eventually be renovated and reopened.

Beso LLC filed in January for bankruptcy to remain operating while reorganizing nearly $5.7 million in debt. The federal Chapter 11 filing claimed the nightspot was losing more than $76,000 per month.

Longoria owns nearly one-third of the business but is also listed as an unsecured creditor.
