LEGAL FILE

Sheen’s Probation Extended: A judge in Malibu extended Charlie Sheen’s probation for a year Monday after the “Wall Street” star admitted using drugs while on probation. The 32-year-old son of Martin Sheen had been on two years’ probation since June 1997 after pleading no contest to knocking his then-girlfriend to the floor. In May, however, Sheen was hospitalized for use of an undisclosed illegal drug after paramedics got a 911 call from his mansion. Sheen’s father asked prosecutors to charge his son with violating probation. Gloria Allred, the attorney for Sheen’s former girlfriend, argued that Sheen deserved a year in jail. But Municipal Judge Lawrence Mira ruled that drug rehabilitation was a better solution and ordered Sheen to remain on probation until June 2000. Sheen also must complete 300 hours of community service and submit to regular drug and alcohol testing.

TELEVISION

FYI: Bergen May Get Shot at Real Reporting: After playing one on television, actress Candice Bergen may land a job as a real-life journalist on “60 Minutes.” Bergen’s experience as a reporter for the fictitious “FYI” on CBS’ “Murphy Brown” may lead to a stint on CBS’ actual award-winning show, according to Don Hewitt, executive producer of “60 Minutes.” “Now that she is no longer doing ‘Murphy Brown’ it dawned on me that she may want to do a story or two for us,” Hewitt told New York magazine. “Once we make the determination that there is a story worth her doing, we’ll give her a chance to do it and we’ll see how she does.” CBS canceled “Murphy Brown” earlier this year after 10 years on the air. Bergen auditioned for “60 Minutes” 25 years ago when she was an aspiring photojournalist.

POP/ROCK

Stones Roll Into Moscow: More than 30 years after they first tried to pierce the Iron Curtain to perform in the Soviet Union, the Rolling Stones on Monday hailed the changes that have finally allowed them to play in Moscow. “They thought the show so awful and so decadent that they said this show would never happen in Russia,” singer Mick Jagger said, recounting the veteran rock band’s efforts to give a concert in the Soviet capital in 1967, and another attempt about a decade later. “It was completely political because the regime in those days didn’t want any rock bands at all.” Tonight, the group gets its first chance to perform in Moscow at the 83,000-seat Olympic Stadium. “Things have changed, and we’re very, very excited about doing this show,” Jagger said.

Phish Is Maine Attraction: If you promote it, Phish fans will come. Last summer, the rock band with a dedicated following gave a weekend concert at Loring Air Force Base, an isolated former B-52 base in northern Maine, and drew a crowd of about 70,000. “A lot of people didn’t think that 70,000 people were going to come to a remote location,” said Brian Hamel, president of the Loring Development Authority. “We sold a ticket in every state in the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.” Phish, which is from Burlington, Vt., returns to Loring this weekend, and promoters predict an even bigger show that will once again turn sleepy Limestone into Maine’s largest city.

Rock Hall Salutes the King: Elvis Presley this week became the first musician to have a major exhibit dedicated solely to him at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. The exhibit, billed as the largest collection of Presley memorabilia ever assembled outside Graceland, features guitars, studded jumpsuits and a television set with a bullet hole. A museum curator told ABC News that’s because if Presley didn’t like a television program, he’d simply blow the screen out.
