I don’t think it’s particularly amusing OR sad, as Charlie Sheen clearly has an out-of-control ego, and seems to think he is smarter, more important and more accomplished than anyone else on the face of the Earth.
I can’t really feel sorry for the guy, as while he may well be mentally ill (or possibly just all liquored up 95% of the time) he is certainly an angry, self-centered, egotistical asshole, which many (even severely) mentally ill people manage not to be.
AFAIK it’s a reality show about Sheen and the main character is named “Charlie” so he knows when to respond on que. This way his drug induced persona doesn’t slow down production.
Sheen’s publicist has quithim.
I have it! Charlie Harper dies and leaves all his worldly goods to an illegitimate son who lives in New York named Barney Stinson, who moves into the Malibu beach house since it is a much richer target environment than New York.
Sheen on the desert, sheen of the mirage.
Sheen is brought to question.
The sacrifice of the latest inquisition.
Just realized something: The past season of Entourage parallels this.
Ok, Martin, it’s up to you. You brought him into this world, you take him out of it.
Sorry, Alessan, your link sez: “This video contains content from Lionsgate, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.
Sorry about that.”
What was it?
Here’s a direct link in case that falls off the front page while we’re still talking about this.
Assuming that he makes it through the next ten months. And I would not be shocked or surprised if he doesn’t.
Geez you, guys. Just how far will you go? It’s not exactly like Sheen’s close to death or anything. Some of you people should be writers for The Enquirer, I swear.
Judging by how he looked in the Today interview, I’m not sure I’d bet money on him making it that long. He was looking very drawn in the face and had a slight ashen tone to his skin. That was not the face of a very healthy man.
Well, I might bet some money but not a whole lot…
He seems pretty manic right now, but I can’t explain the apparently clean drug test that he completed for ABC News. Either he cheated the test somehow or he really is sober right now - which would only argue for mental illness.
At first it was amusing but now it’s just sad that there is no one in his life who can force him to get help.
One website I saw suggested that he was bipolar and off his meds. But if he’s bipolar and under treatment for it, isn’t that something that the production company would already know? (Normally, one’s medical conditions are private, but presumably there’s some clause in his multi-million dollar contract that assures them that he’s medically fit to work.) And if he is off his meds, is that a legitimate reason for them to break the contract?
I’ve seen Platoon and parts of Wall Street but other than that nothing I can remember Charlie in just because I found him so offensive, such a whiney little puss, right from the start. That includes Two and a Half Men, never seen even a minute. While I’m sorry for any fans that’ll be left out in the cold because of this, frankly anything that disrupts enabling his destructive, pathetically egotistical lifestyle is fine by me.
When I saw this morning’s trainwreck - uhh, interview - I thought he might be going through a manic phase. Pure speculation, but it’s possible Sheen has an undiagnosed problem and his drinking and drug use are forms of self-medication. He may never have had a diagnosis, which means he wouldn’t be on meds, and if we take him at his word that he’s off drugs and booze, his hidden problems might be coming to the surface.
Or he could just be an egocentric asshole with enough money to indulge himself.
I didn’t see any interview with him this morning, but the links on Google New indicate that Mel Gibson is reaching out to him. When Mel Gibson is the voice of sanity, you’re clearly well over the edge.
He’s not trying to help him - he’s trying to recruit him.
Last night Piers Morgan interview with Charlie Sheen - CNN.com - Transcripts
English may not be my 1st language (hell, it’s 4th, after mother-tongue, Russian and French) but, please, point me to a section in this interview (someone who has English as a mother-tongue) and instruct me on how to detect manic person speaking.
I’m being serious because I’m missing someting.
I find the interview extremely hilarious, funny and on moments insightful (in terms of what bothers Charlie).
For example, opening part:
SHEEN: I didn’t bring any craziness. Don’t worry.
MORGAN: Yes. I want to get a sense of what has really been going on here.
SHEEN: It’s been a tsunami of media. And I’ve been riding it on a mercury surfboard. Right off the bat, sorry.
A mercury surfboard! That IS funny.
Or, this exchange:
MORGAN: Back now with my special guest, Charlie Sheen. Charlie, you were saying at the break – when I spoke briefly with Anderson Cooper, you were seeing images from Libya and everything, that you kind of feel that you being the center of the news the last few weeks is kind of crazy given what else has been going on.
SHEEN: A little bizarre. You turn on the 11:00 news and I’m the lead story, and then they get to that. I’m thinking, the world is upside down. But I guess that shows the power of the business I’m in.
Again, kindly point to a part of the interview that spells M-A-N-I-C.
I want those English language skills in my repertoire too.
he’s on the fast track to a drug overdose.
