Usually Colbert is very active on Twitter, but he has not posted anything on the site since Tuesday, when he tweeted Valentine’s Day wishes to his fans. “Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you're enjoying your flowers, or chocolates, or smug self-satisfaction at not celebrating Valentine's Day,” the comedian wrote.

Despite standing before a verbal firing squad for 90 minutes, Charlie Sheen left Monday night's Comedy Central roast without a scratch -- Steve-O, well that's a different story.

The Jackass star took the phrase "physical comedy" to a whole new level, ending the show by literally diving into the champion boxer's fist, a promise he made to his pal Sheen earlier in the night. He emerged bloody and bewildered with a broken nose, drawing a confused stare from William Shatner (who's presumably seen every life form in the galaxy).

Sheen later posted a photo on whosay of Steve-O, sporting a black eye and wrote:
“This is what @SteveO looked like the morning after the #SheenRoast - it's like a medical mugshot. You crazy bastard.”

Charlie Sheen, who became a tabloid fixture due to his problems with drugs and alcohol, was found dead in his apartment,” MacFarlane says, before pausing, then continuing. “You know what? I actually kind of just copied Amy Winehouse’s obituary.
