Charlie Sheen still remembers the moment he learned that he wouldn't star in *Born of the Fourth of July*.

At the time, he was best known for his work in movies such as director Oliver Stone's *Platoon *and *Wall Street*. But, as he's said before, he thought he and Stone had agreed that he would star in Stone's 1989 movie about Vietnam War veteran Ron Kovic.

And yet it was Tom Cruise who ended up earning an Oscar nomination for his turn.

Sheen's brother Emilio Estevez was the one who delivered the bad news.

"Emilio, he calls me. He says, 'Hey, man. You sitting down?' And I think somebody died, right?" Sheen said on Thursday's edition of *In Depth With Graham Bensinger*. "I'm like, 'No, what's going on?" He says, 'Cruise is doing *Born on the Fourth*.'"

Sheen was familiar with Cruise, who moved in the same circle of young, up-and-coming actors. Among other things, Estevez and Cruise had costarred in the 1983 movie *The Outsiders*, and Cruise had even stayed at the family's home for a while when he first arrived in Los Angeles.

"I love that Emilio thought that I needed to be seated to get news he thought was going to make me faint," Sheen said. "I mean, what are we doing here? It's a movie."

A major movie, though.**

"It's a big deal," Sheen acknowledged. "Well, it was also the betrayal factor of it. So I was like, 'OK, all right.' You know, Oliver's been a fan of Tom's for a long time. It's a different movie if Tom does it than if I do it."

Sheen said Stone had previously been clear about wanting him to play the part.**

"We had meetings about it, and we had a dinner with Ron Kovic. And then I stopped hearing from him," Sheen said of Stone on the podcast. "We stopped talking about it, and I reach out to Oliver, and I'm told that he's in Cuba. Whatever. This is like 1988 or '89, right? I'm like, 'OK, well, tell him I'm looking for him.'"

For Sheen, losing touch with the project was a bummer, but one he could overcome.

"You can't lose something you never had," the *Two and a Half Men* alum said. "I didn't sign a contract. There was a handshake."

There was one instance in which Sheen confronted Stone in a bar over what had gone down.

"I stopped in and he was there, and I was drunk enough and he was drunk enough for that thing to finally be brought up," Sheen said. "And he was like, 'I just felt like you didn't have any passion for it. I felt like you lost interest.' I was like, 'Well, I didn't see you. How do you know how much passion I lost or interest that evaporated if we never talked about it again?'"

Despite all that happened, Sheen couldn't help but be impressed by Cruise's work.

"It wasn't like a thing where I'm going to talk s--- about him, because then you see the movie and you're like, 'Oh, OK. All right. He turned it into that,'" Sheen said. "When someone gets a job and does that with it, you're just like, of course. You don't sit there and dissect it and like, 'I'd have done that better.' No, go f--- yourself. That's a brilliant — and you should have won the freaking Oscar."

** has reached out to reps for Stone.

Besides, Sheen said he would have missed out on one of his own big movies.

"I don't know if *Major League* happens if I do *Born on the Fourth,*" he said. "I'm just pretty sure that one would have gotten in the way of the other, and if it's not true, that's what I'm going with."

Kenny Chesney's storytelling flair is woven into all of his songs.

But now the country music titan is telling a different story, the one about his life and how a kid from East Tennessee obsessed with sports evolved into a stadium-selling megastar behind smashes including "Beer in Mexico," "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" and "I Go Back."

Chesney's book, "Heart Life Music" ( William Morrow/HarperCollins, Nov. 4), cowritten with music journalist Holly Gleason, also gives fans a peek into some of his experiences with idols and peers, such as George Jones and Jimmy Buffett.

"This book is full of surprises, full of moments I couldn't have imagined, so living them with me is something I wanted to share," Chesney told USA TODAY in an email. "But it's also, I hope, an honest look at how one builds a dream; it's the setbacks, the frustration, the small moves that add up and a reminder that hard work, fighting for great songs and not letting go is so critical."

Kenny Chesney's "Heart Life Music" includes stories of his adventures with George Jones and Jimmy Buffett. The book is out Nov. 4, 2025.

Chesney will visit with fans on a book tour from Nov. 1 to Nov. 16, with stops in cities including Boston, Chicago, Nashville and Miami.

In an exclusive excerpt from the book, Chesney shares the story behind "Boston," from his 2005 album "Be As You Are (Songs from an Old Blue Chair)."

He told USA TODAY that he chose this segment to highlight because of its significance to his songwriting.

"It was such a perfect slice of that time when things were shifting and I was finding my authentic self. I'd had success, but it wasn't connecting – and it's when I started drawing on real life that the pieces fell together," Chesney said. "It shows how songs literally rise up out of your life, that something people listen to in their car came out of moments that actually happened. To me, that's where and how No Shoes Nation was built: common realities we all have."

Kenny Chesney tells the story of his life in "Heart Life Music," out Nov. 4, 2025.'Heart Life Music' by Kenny Chesney exclusive excerpt

Starting in 1998, it seemed eight out of every ten girls I met in the Virgin Islands were from New England. Whether the bars, restaurants or on boats, those accents you can't miss.

Having some local friends, I could hang out and run into someone I knew. I kept seeing this one bartender. She wore a Red Sox cap backwards, and you could she had these baby dreadlocks peeking out from under it. Didn't matter when or where I saw her, she always had that Boston cap on.

You never know why something strikes you. Someone's spark, a random detail catches your imagination.

I was in the middle of writing the "Be As You Are" album, though I didn't know it yet.

I had these songs that didn't have a place on my commercial records, but they were talking to each other. More authentically me than anything I'd ever done, I kept writing.

All that was whirling around my head one night when Mark Tamburino started playing this guitar part. It had a real groove, with a melody inside it that felt good. I was in my bunk thinking about that bartender, about a lot of stories I'd heard from my friends down there. That groove started circling around my head, the beats dropping just so…

"She wears a Red Sox cap… to hide her… baby… dreads…"

In a bunk on a bus rolling down the highway, "Boston" started to take shape.

I had no idea how far that song would travel. I only knew it was an authentic truth about that bartender, but so many other people in the islands.

Writing these songs, the people came with me.

Even when I wasn't there, the islands colored my writing. Scheduled to play the University of Texas' Frank Erwin Center in 2003, a freak ice storm cancelled our show. Trapped, because the roads were too icy to travel, Tim (Holt), Daryl (Hobby) and I were stuck.

"Somewhere in the Sun" fell out of that frozen – literally and metaphorically – moment in time. Trapped in a Holiday Inn parking lot, on our buses and these old hotel rooms, songs emerged. I started describing where we were: the bad room service, the TV with only "Andy Griffith" and "Barney," because the cable was knocked out.

Whatever channel we could get, there was an ad for Cancun that kept airing. I could feel the melody as I writing it all down. Danny Tucker, my bus driver at the time, threw out the toast that became the bridge, so he was co-writer on the song, too.

A love letter to the people and places I was discovering, you can hear the pull of this other life. Some people thought I was recharging, but it was more opening up and letting go. There's a quiet you need to hear your soul, something you can't do when there's a bunch of buses and trucks, people needing answers.

The answers I needed were found in hidden bars only the locals and sailors knew.

Inside the Off-Screen Drama on Stranger Things' Final Season

A trailer for the long-awaited return of Stranger Things dropped Thursday, but the buzz was quickly eclipsed by unsettling reports from set.

The show's star, Millie Bobby Brown, reportedly filed a complaint before production on the Netflix series began last January, accusing co-star David Harbour of "bullying and harassment."

The fifth and final season — an eight-episode run that reportedly cost Netflix more than $400 million — is expected to bring the hit sci-fi series to a close after nearly a decade on air. The upcoming installment has been billed as the show's most ambitious yet, with creators Matt and Ross Duffer promising an emotional farewell to the residents of Hawkins. But according to reports, production may have been overshadowed by off-screen tensions between two of its biggest stars.

An unnamed source told The Daily Mail that Brown's filing included "pages and pages of accusations" and led to a months-long internal investigation that has been kept tightly under wraps. The source also noted that "the allegations did not include claims of sexual impropriety." The outlet did not specify when the investigation began or whether it has since concluded.

Harbour plays Jim Hopper, the gruff but lovable former police chief of Hawkins, who becomes guardian to Brown's character, Eleven — a telekinetic child test subject whose coming-of-age story lies at the emotional center of the show. Their on-screen relationship, evolving from mistrust to deep mutual care, has been one of Stranger Things' most enduring storylines.

In 2021, Harbour spoke about the bond he'd formed with Brown after years of working together, noting that he felt protective of her as she navigated fame at a young age. "Millie and I have always had sort of a special relationship because I knew her when she was so young," he said on a 2021 episode of the That Scene with Dan Patrick podcast. "I have a real protective feeling for her. I worry about her and the fame and all that she has to struggle with."

But off screen, that dynamic may have become more strained in recent years: Brown allegedly had a personal representative with her on set during filming for the final season, reportedly as a precaution amid the investigation and to ensure a safe working environment.

Netflix, Brown, and Harbour have not publicly commented on the reports.

The allegations come at a turbulent time for Harbour, whose personal life has also been under intense scrutiny. The 50-year-old actor recently finalized his split from British singer Lily Allen after four years of marriage. Allen released her new album West End Girl in October, which includes songs many fans interpret as alluding to the breakdown of their relationship. In one standout track, "Madeline," she sings, "We had an arrangement / Be discreet and don't be blatant / There had to be payment / It had to be with strangers / But you're not a stranger, Madeline." The lyrics have drawn widespread attention for their raw portrayal of infidelity and emotional fallout. In an interview with The Times of London, Allen said the titular character is fictional — and confirmed when asked that she's "a construct of others," rather than a direct reflection of one real person.

Still, sources close to the situation have clarified that the on-set allegations involving Brown are not believed to be connected to Harbour's divorce from Allen. "Lily supported him throughout it all," a source told The Daily Mail. "It was a brutal time."

Netflix remains tight-lipped about the investigation and its fallout. For now, fans will have to wait to see how Stranger Things ends — and whether the real-life tension behind it proves just as dramatic as what happens on screen.

Mandatory Credit: John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images (John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images)

Just as the Los Angeles Dodgers finished turning a game-ending double play to win the World Series, folks were already talking about a three-peat.

The Dodgers didn't get a lot of time to celebrate before being installed as favorites to win the 2026 World Series after outlasting the Blue Jays in a highly entertaining seven-game World Series. Los Angeles won the finale, 5-4 in 11 innings on Saturday night in Toronto.

Los Angeles defeated the New York Yankees in the 2024 World Series and oddsmakers favor a rematch in the 2026 Fall Classic.

FanDuel and BetMGM each have the Dodgers at +350 to win the 2026 World Series. The Yankees are second at both sportsbooks -- +700 at FanDuel and +750 at BetMGM.

Los Angeles figures to have a solid chance at becoming the first team since the Yankees (1998-2000) to win three straight World Series crowns.

National League MVP candidate Shohei Ohtani is in the prime of his career as a hitter and will get more work as a starting pitcher since he won't be coming off a major arm injury. Players like Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and Will Smith (game-winning homer in Game 7) will again be main cogs and World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow will join Ohtani in a strong rotation.

The Yankees will again be led by American League MVP candidate Aaron Judge and the lineup figures to include Giancarlo Stanton and Jazz Chisholm. Gerrit Cole is expected to return from a major arm injury in May to join a rotation that includes Max Fried and Carlos Rodon.

FanDuel rates the Philadelphia Phillies (+1000) and New York Mets (+1100) as National League teams who could dethrone the Dodgers. BetMGM has the Phillies at +1100 and the Mets at +1400.

In the AL, FanDuel rates the Seattle Mariners (+1200) and Houston Astros (+1300) as strong candidates to reach the World Series. Seattle might need AL MVP candidate Cal Raleigh to have another historic season to make that happen. BetMGM has both teams at +1300.

Looking for a team getting little respect? How about the Blue Jays, who took a lead into the ninth inning of Game 7 before ultimately losing. Toronto is just +2000 by both entities.

Some of that might be due to the possibility that star shortstop Bo Bichette could leave as a free agent. But Vladimir Guerrero Jr. isn't going anywhere and George Springer is one of the top clutch hitters in postseason history.

Also worth noting, Toronto was lightly respected entering the 2025 season. FanDuel listed the Blue Jays at +6600.

The Colorado Rockies, Chicago White Sox and Washington Nationals have the longest odds at +50000.
