I was kinda laughing along with everyone else at Sheen’s bizarre statements (and some of them are uproariously funny still because they are so damn out there) until of all people, Colin Cowherd on ESPN radio said something today on his show to the effect of “Hey, if you want to be like River Phoenix and flame out like that, I will make fun of you and laugh along with everyone else, because you’re not hurting anyone but yourself. But Charlie Sheen has five children, so to me, none of this is funny anymore.”
And since I have children and have had substance abuse (alcohol) issues at times myself, it struck me a bit.
Feeling dreadfully sorry for his kids (who, if their mothers have any sense, aren’t watching TMZ right now, but still) and finding his manic ramblings HI-larious are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they’re fairly firmly intertwined.
I’m sorry, but even 9 years ago if you signed Charlie Sheen to a contract that does not have an iron-clad morals clause you deserve to get taken for every penny.
Could you point me in the direction of your support for this conclusion? I have a really hard time swallowing that Warner Brothers, a massive company with much experience, would have only massively brain dead attorneys drawing up their contracts with well known problem children. I’d be interested to learn more about the reasoning for your conclusion.
Yeah I figure they have been stewing about this nutjob representing their network for weeks. I’m guessing they were just waiting for something unambiguous against the contract, and finally have the tool they were waiting for.
But if there is one thing all my years have taught me it is never underestimate the rhetorical powers of an inter-dimensional Warlock.
I don’t feel sorry for anybody but the crew. The cast are all successful actors with long careers, or in Angus’s case, one show under his belt that will pay him millions for the rest of his life. Warners will win any lawsuit, and Sheen will be dead within 2 years. The only losers are the hookers.
I dunno—If Charlie Sheen was down to his last $1000 in the whole wide world, I would bet that he would have no problem spending $995 bucks on hookers, booze and blow, hanging onto his final five bucks for a pack of smokes.
The whores that he has taken into his public life are Golden—The porno offers must be oozing in as we speak.
Porn studios seem to love this kind of attention, and will be offering these assorted women huge $$$ paydays (at least by porn standards) so they can trumpet “Check Out Charlie Sheen’s Ex-Goddess Rachel, Starring In Backside Barbies #8”
His kids will all be set for life once Charlie snuffs it (I guess his oldest daughter just got married) and hopefully they spend his money more wisely than dear ol’ dad did.
Sheen gets a portion of the reruns so he’ll do fine as “Two And A Half Men,” is the top rated syndicated sitcom.
A lawsuit will happen but neither Sheen or Warner Bros will win, as it will be settle out of court for an “undisclosed amount,” as things like this almost always are.
I don’t think his oldest daughter has much of anything to do with him, and to her incredible credit, Denise Richards has dropped well off the radar, and I think I heard in passing (on Extra or one of those programs) that she and her girls are in NYC, far away from the madness and any visitation with whacked out papa, who may be technically clean, but is far, far, far from sober.
It looks like the best hope for the younger boys, the twins, is their maternal grandmother, who will hopefully step up to help protect their interests.
After watching his Torpedos of Truth solo webcast it stopped being entertainment. He had a complete breakdown.
I posted this in the other thread showing a piece of his phone call:
It’s a sheendog, what other kind of dog would it be, and it’s inhabited, its its soul is inhabited by the ghost of betty and now it will murder people it will eat trolls with it’s razor fangs and spen dropped spleens off at their children’s tiny houses. Foiled by phones and trolls, can you hear me bobaloo, bobaloo can you hear me…… you have a magic brain also bob, you have a magic brain, therefore you can digest decipher and con-completely involve yourself with everything I speak.
