Input: Charlie Sheen -- Threat On the Set
had a "normal" day on the set of "

" Tuesday, according to someone who was there ... but if anyone finds out who leaked the info to TMZ, they'll be fired!

We've learned people on the set got a memo saying they cannot convey any information about what happened on the set or in the production offices ... and if they do they will be terminated.

All in all, we're told, it was "a good day."

Charlie's sober coach was on hand. Sober coaches, however, can only do so much. We've learned

and Charlie each had sober coaches at the Aspen house on Christmas Day when Brooke blew a .13 and Charlie blew a .04.

Nonetheless, we're told Sheen is doing well, taking rehab seriously, and went back to the facility after work.

Input: Beyonce and Jay Z's On the Run Tour Grosses More than $100 Million : People.com
Jay Z and Beyoncé performing in Seattle on July 30.

They're on the run – and in the black.

is officially a giant win for the power couple.

The nationwide stadium tour grossed more than $100 million in ticket sales,

wraps in the U.S. on Wednesday in San Francisco, although they will perform again in Paris on Sept. 12 and 13. Those shows will be filmed for an upcoming HBO special.

Omar Al-Joulani, vice-president of North American touring for Live Nation, confirmed the robust sales figure to the music publication and also said the tour sold at more than 90 percent capacity, disproving rumors of struggling ticket sales.

Al-Joulani declined to comment on speculation about the state of the couple's

, saying he hasn't read anything about it, but said the success of the tour means "everybody's winning."

Indeed, the show takes in more than $5.2 million per night, and the "Drunk in Love" duo fill nearly 45,000 seats a performance, on average.

"These shows sold tremendously well at the end," said Al-Joulani, noting that ticket sales typically spiked in the days just preceding a show. "It was a very successful tour, and we're pleased to have that big gross number at the end."

The tour also stands out for how quickly it came together – an extra-impressive feat considering the pair were on the road for much of last year. Most shows are planned a year or more in advance, but Al-Joulani said this one "came together quite quickly, around mid-March. By April, we had everything together."

He said the popularity of the couple demanded the production be "epic," and elements of the live show included a moving high-def screen, pyrotechnics and hydraulic lifts. Buzz from the couple's

for the tour also helped to generate interest, Al-Joulani said.

However, the success of the tour ultimately came down to the live performances, which Al-Joulani said the duo dazzlingly delivered.

"These events are driven by content and demand, and being dramatic and creative and putting out content people want to see," he said. "The two of them are as about creative as you can get, and it was pretty brilliant to watch them work. The show itself is spectacular."

Input: What crust! Bloomberg ban means no 2-liter soda delivered on pizza night
That ban on big sodas being pushed by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is about to spoil family pizza night.

The ban on sodas over 16 ounces takes effect on March 12, and the New York Post reports it has some previously uncontemplated effects. For instance, ordering a 2-liter bottle of Coke, Pepsi, Sprite or whatever the family desires with a pizza delivery won’t be allowed. Even pitchers of soda at children’s birthday parties are going to be a no-no under Bloomberg’s far-reaching ban, according to the paper.

Bloomberg, who instituted a widely emulated smoking ban early in his tenure at City Hall, has followed that up by taking aim at trans fats, salt and baby formula. But the soda ban, announced last year, moves him farther into nanny state territory than any previous measure, say critics. The rules are tricky, and violations can bring $200 fines. Diet sodas and alcoholic beverages are not covered by the ban, fruit smoothies are okay as long as they don’t have added sugar and coffee drinks and milkshakes pass muster if they contain at least 50 percent milk. Drinks with added sugar must not contain more than 3.125 calories per ounce.

“It’s ludicrous,” Robert Bookman, a lawyer for the New York City Hospitality Alliance, told the Post. “It’s a sealed bottle of soda you can buy in the supermarket. Why can’t they deliver what you can get in the supermarket?”

Domino’s locations across the city are doing away with big bottles of soda, one delivery man told the Post. Customers will have to order smaller bottles, which cost more and increase plastic waste. It doesn’t seem to matter that the big bottles are typically meant to be shared – as are the pitchers of soda served up at kids’ pizza parties..

“We’re getting in 16-ounce bottles — and that’s all we’re going to sell,” a Domino’s worker said.

The city Health Department last week began sending brochures to businesses that would be affected by the latest ban, including restaurants, bars and other food service establishments. The ban will even take a toll on nightlife in the city that never sleeps. That’s because when clubgoers spring for a big bottle of booze, they expect to get the mixers thrown in. The typical carafe holds 32 ounces of soda, juice or tonic water. Under the ban, only water or pure juice will be allowed in containers measuring more than 16 ounces.
