Charlie Sheen seems to following closely Conan O’Brien’s playbook. After joining Twitter shortly after CBS pulled the plug on his show Two and a Half Men the way Conan did after he exited NBC’s The Tonight Show, Sheen may also be considering going on tour like the red-haired comedian. According to Radaronline, the reason Sheen was at the headquarters of live-event company Live Nation today was not just to be photographed perched on its roof brandishing a machete and drinking “tiger blood” but to discuss doing a live show. That is one way to sell those 50,000 Winning T-Shirts he had reportedly ordered.
Meanwhile, Sheen delivered a disturbing performance in the latest edition of his Web show Sheen’s Korner last night, looking disheveled and painfully thin, drinking and chain smoking while rambling incoherently about mosty inconsequential things.

Good luck insuring that cluster**ck.
Charlie forget the live tour, its a bad idea. Why don’t you use
some of that money you’ve got stashed away and create your own adult studio. You have complete creative control and all the women your appetite can handle. You could be the next Hugh Hefner or Larry Flynt in the digital age. Consider it a transition in reverse. You would be the first of significant Hollywood status to
break all the rules. You want to defy expectations this would certainly qualify. You could remake/parody all your previous work.
Think of it….Ball Street, Spank City, Sperminal Velocity, Navy Squeals, Eat Me Out, Young Buns, Ferris Bueller’s Sister Gets Off,
The Cookie, Rated X{XXX}, Two And A Half Baseball Teams etc.
No need to change the titles on Hot Shots, The Boy’s Next Door, Loose Women or Men At Work.
Sheening
Duh! Losing!
Charlie Sheen looks like druggie who smoke something and just can’t stop with his euphoria. People watched and laughed from his funny crazy rants. And he thinks that it will be like this forever. He doesn’t understand the thing as 15 minutes fame.
There is already too mush of him everywhere. It was fan to hear his first crazy interviews. But it’s exhausting now. And why watch his show? It’s not like he will say something new. He only repeats the same words over and over again.
In few weeks people will get tired of him and will stop care. And he will be the one without job and career. He had golden chicken. And he spit on it. Loser.
What new stuff should he say, exactly? The guy’s crazy and everybody should forget about him, right?
Have you seen Charlie’s latest on-air jag? He’s losing it.
This isn’t going to be funny much longer.
howard beale lives!
Sheen was drinking and acting nuts on a webcam thing last night. I fear he’s not long for this world.
Nikki- you should stop reporting his doings as if he is normal and sane.
Rated R for pervasive extreme drug use and related bizarre behavior, strong language, and brief nudity.
Wow jail would be a safe place for him.
He needs help; writers.
Stay on line with his show, hire funny comic writers that used to work for jay;
or everyone send in their favorite jokes on charlies Twitter, he can read the great ones on his show and copyright them to sell ad space.
The F-18 Vatican Assassin Warlock Tour 2011:
(Rated R for pervasive extreme drug use and related bizarre behavior, strong language, and brief nudity.)
I wonder what Charlie would be like if he didn’t have an audience fueling his rants. On second thought, no I don’t.
You know it’s really sad. He’s very manic. His brain is fried, wish someone would help him rather than all these media outlets enabling him.
I’ll give you a point on the media, but what do you expect? They know their viewers love to see people, especially rich famous people, implode. As for getting help, well, Sheen has to want help and quite frankly I don’t think he really gives a damn. Unless someone is willing, or even able, to forcefully commit the guy, then I doubt he will ever seek help on his own.
Time to weigh in before the Drudge Trolls pollute the place…I watched the show last night and was disappointed. Hadn’t seen it for awhile, getting my “2 and a Half” fix in reruns since I don’t subscribe to “Appointment TV” like most people. I used to really like this program. I found the humor was remarkably stupid, vis a vis Alan beating off all over the household, Charlie’s virtually throwaway hooker references and his fixation with his older girlfriend’s bisexual 20 year old hottie, online porno gags ad nauseum, in short, a lousy episode. For Christ’s sake, just let this dog die. BTW, this may be the best chance ever for a really talented actor like Jon Cryer to make a clean sweep and get back into practicing his craft. And no, I gladly will pass on buying a “Winning” t-shirt.
Great idea Charlie! Great way to get those kids back, going on an extended tour. The judge will love that and it shows what passes for logic in your head.
Oy!
Taking it to da road.
Coco and Cukoo !
At least Conan was interesting, and had a lot of people around him who could produce a top-notch road show. Plus had a lot of good will.
Who really wants to see Charlie continue to self-destruct any more than he already has? Watching the train wreck is no longer funny, because Charlie appears to be quite ill.
Last night’s U-Stream pretty much reinforced that Charlie is coming off a serious manic phase.
Duh! Crash!
Want to know what power really is?
Power is the ability for someone to fire the star of a hit show and walk away from almost 200 million a YEAR and sell it to the shareholders and make it stick.
And it’s pathetic to hide behind the morality moniker after all they put up for for the gold along the way.
At this point it’s just beyond the pale. Somebody from his immediate family needs to physically intervene and carry him into a rehab facility and/or go before a judge and have him committed. This is going to end in tragedy if someone does not act now. Think of his kids because he is clearly not. We are all watching a man in the throes of a severe nervous breakdown and it is not cute and it is not funny. Saddest thing I have ever seen and surely a cautionary tale for the ages.
Enablers be enablin’ just to make a buck off him before he dies, and we all continue to watch the slow-motion car accident known as Charlie Sheen.
I loathe Martin Sheen’s politics with a passion, but my heart totally goes out to him because it appears he is as helpless as everyone else when it comes to saving his son from himself.
No one should have to go thru that.
No one.
Can’t wait till Charlie Sheen runs down the full list of aphrodisiacs, from tiger’s blood, lion’s blood, bull testicles, pig genitals, and jumped-the-shark-fin soup. Half man, half media monster. Sheen there, done that.
What show? What act? What writers? Just Sheen? Improvising? Being himself? Yeah I am sure that will sell out stadiums.
I’d like to dedicate these Bob Dlyan lyrics to Charlie Sheen (from “Idiot Wind”):
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth
You’re an idiot, babe
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe
Charlie, Why the fuck do you have to keep doing this shit ? It’s obvious that you have plenty of talent as a performer, but there is a fine line between a good performance and acting like an asshole. What I’m refering to specifically is this “Tiger Blood bullshit”. Whatever benefit this drink could convey, could surely be gotten by some other mean’s. Tiger’s have enough problem’s of their own without having to deal with the industrialization of Vampireism, so please give it a rest. Have a Twinkie and a Dr. Pepper,- and NO COKE CHASER !
Rich,
I couldn’t agree with you more. Tigers are close to becoming an endangered species. The last thing they need is Charlie going on a weekend bender, sucking dry one of the LA Zoo’s most favored attractions. Why can’t he have squirell blood? There is a surplus of squirells in Los Angeles alone. Also, squirells spread diseases, so Charlie Sheen would effectively be doing something FOR the environment. Just think about it, Charlie…
‘Rolling stones certainly don’t gather any moss’ in the Sheen residence. Well, give him his due, he eats his spinach.
I was asked recently on a post by a ‘tea’ drinking friend what I would advise, given the opportunity, Mr Sheen in order for him to shake off his ego-eccentric persona and join the ranks of ‘pride’ before ‘passion’, ‘brains’ before ‘balls’ and ‘wisdom’ before ‘dithering has-been.’
I am not so sure that joining the ranks of the Jimmy and Tammy Baker crowd would be convincing or even good press, something a bit creepy about those TB crocodile tears falling under fake eye lashes that disturb me. And tackling a humvee in a desert
out-post, ‘Over There’ seeking solace amongst the fighting and the wounded servicemen/women, would probably come across as rather trite. But continuing his rampaging downward spiral into the ‘centre de la Terre,’ is somewhat perturbing.
His dysfunctional actions are just appeasing the shallow part of his ego, thus allowing the opportunistic leeches – his ‘hangers on,’ that he ‘keeps’ around for support, to continue to ‘bleed’ him dry. And where then will that leave him, cause when he has nothing else to give, they will skulk cunningly away looking for their next victim to drain.
Michael Caine said when he completed the film Harry Brown that the housing estate teenagers he had to mix with during the shoot were ‘all redeemable,’ and it’s true, but as with everything in life, it requires time, effort, patience, empathy and the desire from the other person to change. Mr Sheen is no longer in his formative years. If he was going to change tact, he would have done that a long time ago – and let’s face it, he’s probably got a pretty deep seated sense of ‘entitlement’ that he can’t quite shake off, plus, he’s made a lot of money from being, shall we say, a ‘walking obscenity.’
But in life, if you want to be better than you are – whatever ‘better’ means in anyone’s mind – you have to play a more skilled opponent, surround yourself with people that are akin to growth and advancement, those who are aspirational from a cerebral and creative level, not those out there who want to just drag you down to the lowest form of life. Unless of course, that is where you prefer to be?
Ms. Hunt-
Now that poor Chuck has lost his job, I feel an increasing sense of psychological distance from his actions. Instead of clarifying his next step, it has reinforced his mania. Others who lose their jobs suddenly (but not, in retrospect, surprisingly, unlike Charlie Sheen), those on the show’s crew, could have been on the verge of making a decision about changes in their lives. Perhaps they were hoping for consistency, financial, to act as a base for change. Chuck blew that away without thinking about his responsibility to something more than his pleasures. He’s a father 5 times over, but was also a father to the show. Failed parenting on many levels.
Job loss creates the unfortunate need to sometimes stay those long overdue plans and “batten down the hatches”. For Charlie, his bravado stems from the fact that he does not have to work another day for the rest of his life, as I’m sure those green envelops will keep coming, minus ten percent, of course, until he shuffles off to Buffalo, or, a coil that is decidedly not mortal. He may not believe it, but the choice to live his still his, although right now, he believes he is immortal, immutable and “winning”. Sad and clarifying to many people. And, funny, if it weren’t tied to the financial security of those working on the show. Not everyone lives in gated neighborhoods that have to quadruple the palace guards to keep out a bevy of TMZs, CBS’s and stringer crews.
The hustling for scraps, that most basic of lizard brain needs — not wants — becomes primary for the lower level talents, crew members, writers, producers who are put out by a production shut down. Whatever may be in your decision gate dissipates quickly as “You gotta be able to eat before you can sing dixie.” Charlie can make whatever decision he wants! Obviously. He’s well funded.
As you stated, “better” is a word with many contexts, qualifications and, sometimes, excuses. Having a better sense of “who you are” and what you are “capable of” can heavily outweigh a better sense of how others “see” you, or “respect” you in an industry or extended family. This is an industry — not necessarily a city — that prides itself on emblems. “I work HERE” “I do THIS, with THESE people.” Charlie is obviously beyond that, but some of the lower level crew, the people who simply enjoy building and creating, are put out/off by more political creatures, like Lorre, Les, et al. That doesn’t mean industry politics aren’t real, important, necessary, and valid. It means that some people are satisfied to project their egos — through focus, hard work and creativity — into what they build. And if what they build is helpful to the larger creative machine, or economic well being of a company, crew or cast — so much the better. It’s the old “Let other people play pinball, I just want to build pinball machines. Cause I’m a pinball wizard!” (or warlock)
Everybody in this crazy industry wants to be “where they work best”, and at the level they can be the most potent and helpful, where they can improve, maintain and keep a system healthy. Charlie sits on top of this system, while others simply want to live up to their talents, and their contexts. It’s too bad Charlie’s lack of control took control away from those who depended on him, to make the hard decisions.
Ave.ld.
Assuming this socio-path is the full jug of ale and not just a mutant suffering from malabsorption deficiencies. I am guessing, when he first ‘ran-off at the mouth,’ his first line of thought, was not – whether crew, actors or anyone else connected in the making of this tepid piece of work, would get another dime. This guy is self-absorbed, plain and simple, everyone else is an after thought – an after dinner mint if you like – you either want one or, ‘you give it a miss.’
Having said all of this, if one has any kind of compassion, in a world that often seems devoid of the word, one never wishes to see someone just ‘throw’ their life away, even if their values are way out in centre field. I mean things could be worse for the chap let’s face it; he could have been caught with either a dead girl or a live boy in his bed, so things could be looking up.
Sometimes I think people have misunderstood Sheen’s addictions. What’s the **worst** addiction he has? Hmmmmmm….
Cut and paste indeed Ms. Hunt — a fine, well thought out edit.
It would be Charlie’s sex addiction, cocaine use, general pining to secretly be a (real) dad, or at least having the chance to play out his “Less Than Zero” life style, shirt perennially untucked, differently, well into his 40s (50s?), that might keep him somewhat focused, Shatneresque for a moment, then off, partying (but professing to “working too hard”) while other people live life, make mistakes and learn from them. With plenty of money, and genuine regret, something Charlie may have felt all too often in his life, and refuses to give other people. (If he’s never felt it, all the funnier.) If you believe anyone can change and is willing to, then you can see “geniuses” everywhere. As in everybody is stupid for a while.
A “better” way of saying this is — the ultimate addiction is an addiction to the past.
If Charly can figure this out, and change, he’ll be better than gold, he’ll be over it.

I just say it as I see it, a hazard that comes from being a Political Foreign Correspondent I guess, and when you see so many despicable people in the world, getting away with such horrendous things all under the guise of – Politics – and politics is everything that we touch, then…….you just can’t help pass a comment, valid or not.
Believe it or not, this site helps to lighten me up a tad.
