SOULJA BOY: U.S. hip-hop star Soulja Boy has confirmed via Twitter his younger brother was killed in a weekend car crash.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said 15-year-old Deion O'Neal Jenkins died Sunday night in a collision in Tallahatchie County, Miss. No other details regarding the wreck were reported.

"At home crying my eyes out I can't believe my Lil bro is gone," the newspaper quoted Soulja Boy, whose real name is Deandre Cortez Way, as tweeting Monday.

MICHAEL LOHAN: Michael Lohan, a "Celebrity Rehab" cast member and father of actress Lindsay Lohan, has been charged with felony domestic violence, California officials said.

The elder Lohan was charged with inflicting corporal injury on a cohabitant, false imprisonment and preventing a report of victimization after an alleged altercation with a female companion Monday night in West Hollywood, police told People.com.

Lt. John Ratto said Lohan "showed no signs of intoxication" and "has been cooperative," following his arrest.

Bail was set at $200,000. Lohan is currently at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he is being treated for a medical condition unrelated to the alleged incident.

The alleged victim declined medical treatment for the minor injuries she sustained in the alleged altercation, People.com said.

PAUL REISER: NBC says it will begin airing its new U.S. single-camera comedy "The Paul Reiser Show" next month.

Reiser is best known for his work on the sitcom "Mad About You."

His latest project is to premiere on NBC April 14.

"The show stars Reiser as -- Paul Reiser," NBC said in a synopsis of "The Paul Reiser Show" Tuesday.

"It's been a few years since his hit TV series went off the air. Since then, he's been enjoying the quiet life at home with his lovely wife, Claire, and kids and generally minding his own business, writing and producing television but enjoying life out of the spotlight," the synopsis said. "Getting him into trouble -- and into adventures -- are a group of new 'friends,' most of which he didn't choose since they're the husbands of his wife's friends and the dads of his kids' classmates. Thrown together by circumstance, Reiser and his cohorts, including Jonathan, Habib, Fernando and Brad, form an unlikely comradeship -- and a pretty lame basketball team."

The show co-stars Amy Landecker, Ben Shenkman, Omid Djalili, Duane Martin and Andrew Daly.

The Los Angeles Times said "Reiser" will replace the sitcom "Perfect Couples" in the Thursday 8:30 p.m. timeslot.

CHARLIE SHEEN: Troubled actor Charlie Sheen has made a quick unannounced visit to "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in Los Angeles.

E! News said Sheen's appearance came during Kimmel's interview with HDNet owner Mark Cuban Monday night. Cuban has said in the past he and Sheen are looking for a project to work on together.

During Cuban's chat with Kimmel, Sheen appeared onstage, kissed the talk-show host on the lips and handed out to the cheering audience T-shirts with some of his favorite expressions such as "winning" and "tiger blood," E! News said.

"I can't stay, sorry," Sheen told Kimmel and his viewers. "I have a show to write, dammit!"

Sheen, who recently was fired from TV's "Two and a Half Men" because of his erratic behavior, has announced plans for a touring stage show. Dates in New York, Boston, Detroit and Chicago have already sold out.
