Charlie Sheen introduces us to his porn star babysitters; Mel Gibson called him

For the wackiest quotes from Charlie’s interview yesterday, fast forward to 6:35

The second part of Charlie Sheen’s interview with The Today Show aired this morning. There’s not a hell of a lot more to say about Charlie, and it seems like there’s too much news coming out about him to cover everything. It’s still kind of fascinating to watch his downfall and the talkshows know that. The guy is spouting his nonsense to anyone who will listen and he’s obviously disturbed and self-righteous about it. For anyone who has an addict like this in their lives, I’m so sorry.

Anyway on The Today Show Charlie introduced us to the young porn star and the model he called his “goddesses” and they all posed together in his kitchen and talked about how they love Charlie’s twin boys and live happily together. He gave some lip service to letting his paid companions have their say in how he lives his life, but it’s obviously not the case. It was more of Charlie telling us how he’s special and he deserves to go back to work when all his actions have been proving the opposite. He looks like a corpse:

On his intense pressure to get ‘Two and a Half Men’ back on the air:
“Who else is applying pressure? John Cryer? Angus [Jones]? Anybody? They’re just sitting at home waiting for something to happen.”

On his publicist, Stan Rosenfield, quitting yesterday:
“I don’t know … maybe he got overwhelmed, maybe he felt like he wasn’t respected, I don’t know … But there’s something epic about that — that things got so gnarly that Stan just went ‘I’m out.'”

On his father, Martin Sheen, and his family’s attempt to help:
“They tried. I said, ‘I’m not ready … but I appreciate your love and compassion, if that’s what you want to call it.’ I’m 45 years old, and I’m not interested in people treating me like a 12-year-old.”

His reaction to Monday’s ‘Today Show’ interview:
“I’m entertained as hell. I’m not saying it’s not true. I’m laughing with the goddesses, I’m laughing with my friends. Everybody’s like, ‘Did they expect it to be normal interview? Did they expect to be conventional and boring and everything else?’ No, man, we’re shaking the tree.”

How he describes himself:
“I’m grandiose, because I’m living a grandiose life. I’m tired of being like ‘Aw, shucks, that’s not me.’ Because it is me.”

His message to his fans:
“Don’t be worried. Celebrate this movement. I love and I’m so grateful that you have supported me and the show for so long, and I will not let you down. Trust me.”

Response to Twitter backlash:
“It’s sad for them. It’s like, ‘Get a job, anyone?'”

I just hope that Denise Richards is making sure that her daughters stay far away from Charlie. Brooke may let him see the twins but she’s in no way sober. Just check out this picture of her before Charlie kicked her out prior to his vacation to the Caribbean.

Charlie also went on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight. (Given how many interviews he’s been doing, I’m sure I’m missing a couple.) Charlie got support from kiss ass Piers, who said “I think you’re entitled to behave anyway you like. [in your personal life]” Here are some quotes from the part I watched (video segment below)

I’ve been riding it on a mercury surfboard.

I’m on a mission, it’s an operation actually to right some terrible wrongs.

I’m at the dead epicenter of every single moment that’s been going on in this thing.

I’m not going to say it wasn’t epic and I wasn’t having a ball and all those around me weren’t enjoying the show.

We were on a rocketship to the moon some nights.

Charlie kept insisting he could do his job no matter what he did in his personal life. Piers asked him if he was late or unprofessional and Charlie claimed he was late to rehearsals occasionally but was never late for his two “money days” during the week when filming takes place I guess.

Radar has more from that interview, and Charlie claimed he never hit a woman and made a lot of excuses for the past incidents in which he’s been violent against women. He also said that Mel Gibson called him to offer support and that Mel told him he “just like thought you might like to hear a friendly voice.” I can see these two being friends. They’re both addicts and abusive SOBs, and they probably have plenty of conspiracy theories and delusions in common.

If Charlie is able to stay alive for a while I expect we’ll see some kind of book from him or maybe even another television show. He told Radar he had a bunch of offers in the pipeline and I wouldn’t doubt it. Given all the people who are making excuses for him and condoning his behavior, and given the fact that he was the highest paid star on television up until a few weeks ago, I’m sure that there are still chances for him. If he can make people money they’ll ignore the fact that he’s so very obviously far gone. They’ve ignored it up until now.

Here’s part of Charlie’s Piers Morgan interview.

    Next, he will become a Scientologist.

  2. guesty says:

    o.m.g. this is like watching britney 2.0. *fascinated*

  3. OXA says:

    On TMZ he spoke of his twins being at the house and saying the gosesses help care for them. I was disgusted at his family and Brooke Mueller, who in their right minds would leave them babies with this insane man and his whores.
    CPS needs to take the kids now and give them to some wolves or Denise Richards to raise.

  4. Samigirl says:

    He SHOT Kelly Preston and strangled Brooke Mueller. I guess that isn’t the same as hitting though….

  5. malachais says:

    Go away already, its like the news outlets want to watch him die.

  6. Cheyenne says:

    Jesus Christ, how old are those girls? They don’t look a day over seventeen.

  7. mln76 says:

    I watched the Piers Morgan interview and although I am not a fan of Charlie at all I think Piers gave the best interview because he wasn’t all uptight minivan on him like the morning talk shows. He gave Charlie a fair chance to explain himself and gave much clearer answers. I still think he is a class A jerk and I didn’t believe him when he said he doesn’t hit women.

  8. EllenP says:

    Despite the big bucks they get, I can’t imagine the other cast members wanting to work with that arrogant airhead. Oh, yeah, he never hit a woman, but he did shoot one and held a knife to another. Please pay him off and let him recede into obscurity.

  9. cranky chica says:

    Isn’t Denise Richards looking sane and normal? I do find it interesting that the crew is going to be paid for 4 episodes.

    I wonder why WB took that action now?

  10. Novaraen says:

    This is all so freaky weird….I too am fascinated. He looks so very ill…it’s really sad.

  11. Az says:

    All of his craziness aside, how is his living with these two girls any different from Hugh Hefner and his “girlfriends”? Charlie Sheen is a dirty old man, basically. The addiction is the only difference. Oh and the fact that Charlie has loads of money.

  12. nanster says:

    If there was any doubt previously, Charlie clearly removed it – yes, he’s batsh!t crazy.

  13. Liana says:

    “I’m 45 years old, and I’m not interested in people treating me like a 12-year-old.”

    ************

    Then don’t act like a 12 year old.

    And there are many who can attest to his holding up production on taping days.

  14. lilred says:

    Mel Gibson called and said “just like thought you might like to hear a friendly voice.” Are you friggin’ kidding me?
    Mel called to thank Charlie for taking the heat off him for a while, and find out when they can have their joint party. That way they can share the prostitutes instead of having to schedule around each other.

  15. Poopie says:

    i hate to say this but remember when ET went to the bahamas and followed Anna Nicole Smith around and even tho the viewers COULD TELL she was NOT sober, the ET cameras continued to roll and hosts assured us that she was fine and her ‘friend’ Howard Stern was FINE and all was good in Anna Land. it was what, WEEKS later that she died? this seems very reminiscent of that sad to say.

  16. someone says:

    He needs to be put in a straight jacket, and confined to a rubber room..hes insane at this point…

  17. Roma says:

    @Samigirl: Whoa. He shot Kelly Preston?

  18. lilred says:

    According to Charlie he over came his addiction just by closing his eyes and imagining it.

    And now is demanding 3million per episode.

    Did you know he moved…oh yeah it’s a place called the land of the deluded.

  19. Quest says:

    Yeah I can do my job well considering I snork coke every hour, get liquiored up all the time and bench press whor..sorry “porn stars” everyday. Yeah my job is not affected in any way -I’m a professional.

    Charlie is 0.001% to cockbib

  20. Anon says:

    Thank you so much for your comment:
    ‘For anyone who has an addict like this in their lives, I’m so sorry.’ Most of the commenters to Charlie’s fall are fortunate enough to not have this type of addiction destroying someone you love or care about. Take it from one with personal experience – most of what you are witnessing on such a public level is the addiction/alcoholism manifesting itself.

  21. Happymom says:

    Oh my god-he looks horrible and sounds completely deranged. I think it’s actually disgusting that all these shows are jumping to get a front row seat to his unraveling. And I hope he’s so out of it that he doesn’t realize that his sons are not actually in the house. I can’t imagine that any of the grandparents would actually allow those babies to be in the midst of this. I’m assuming that Brooke is back in rehab somewhere?! And fortunately his daughters with Denise are so young that they can be shielded from a lot of the media speculation. Remember when Denise said their pediatrician fired them because he was so insane about the girls not getting vaxed? At the time so many people, myself included, thought she was making it up–clearly not. And I’d forgotten he’d shot Kelly Preston-this guy has shown a pattern of being a complete psycho.

  22. Isabel says:

    I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that this is real.

  23. hatsumomo says:

    My one big and only take-away from this interview is the bit about Hollywood personalities being manufactured. Its quite true despite the many fantasies the ladies on this thread would believe about their ‘forever dongs’, most of those guys Im betting are complete assholes. Its just cleverly hid from the public, or they are really good actors. At least Charlie sheen IS out there and letting the light shine on his addictions instead of having a wonderful persona to hide behind.

  24. Yael says:

    Did you notice? All of a sudden mr. Sheen-nanigans is looking kind of old, it’s like the after effects of all that boozing, coking and partying with porn stars is finally catching up with him…he’s looking BAD lately!

  25. DiannSteph says:

    Can you IMAGINE all the other celebs who are kinda like Charlie in private, but toe their PR lines in public. I do like kinda seeing how a big celeb lets loose once they don’t care about PR. It’s fascinating, to say the least.

    Also, let me get this straight. He wasn’t let go from Two & a Half Men when he (according to police records) held a knife to Brooke Mueller, and strangled her. He wasn’t let go for the coke binges, BUT….as soon as he went off on the show’s creator, Chuck Levine, Charlie was finally booted.

    What does that tell you? Hollywood is a sick, twisted place to begin with, that’s what it tells me.

  26. DiannSteph says:

    I agree with Hatsumomo 100%.

    I didn’t read your post until after I posted.
    Altho, I will say Charlie looks like death warmed over. Look under the eyes, the gauntness, the dark circles, he’s definitely on drugs. So when he utters he’s not doing something, please, Charlie, you’re not being honest with THAT.

  27. Stubbylove says:

    I just got my blood test back – turns out I don’t have tiger blood – crap.

  28. MamaMia says:

    Maybe when the money runs out, his life won’t be so “grandiose”?? I doubt the “goddesses” would be there if not for the money. I don’t think this is going to end well.

  29. bananapanda says:

    Denise may be a little crazy bit when I read their divorce papers it was obvious she was the best parent. He was only on pills and gambling back then but he shoved her across the room while 7 months pregnant and holding the other daughter in her arms.

    It’s a bad sign when Charlie Sheen sounds like Gary Busey on a good day.

  30. KsGirl says:

    Wow does he ever look like hell. My main feeling over this situation is still sadness for his family – can you imagine being someone’s parent or child and seeing them looking like that and knowing there was probably nothing you could do to help? Awful.

    “I think Piers gave the best interview because he wasn’t all uptight minivan on him”

    Mln76 – “uptight minivan” is now my new descriptive phrase. Love it.

  31. Eve says:

    The girl on the right won Best Anal Sex Scene at the 2008 AVN Awards. And some keep saying the girls he hangs out with are gold diggers and hookers. Please, at least one of them is an award winning actress!

    @ Lilred (# 14):

    Mel Gibson called and said “just like thought you might like to hear a friendly voice.” Are you friggin’ kidding me?
    Mel called to thank Charlie for taking the heat off him for a while, and find out when they can have their joint party. That way they can share the prostitutes instead of having to schedule around each other.

    Word!

  32. Ari says:

    He looks like a typical crackhead and needs to be put into rehab involuntarily immediately otherwise he will die. After this fiasco is over he will surely overdose.

  33. Lukie says:

    So, um…when will that 5150 come rolling around?

  34. Deven says:

    Anyone who has ever experienced manic-depressive episodes with people they are close to will know that’s what they are looking at with Sheen. The drawn, crazy, never-sleep appearance of his face and the insane expression of his eyes are a dead giveaway. Combined with his non-stop talking of complete foolishness, that’s mania personified. When the depression begins to set in, there will be a whole other raft of problems to deal with. Been there…done that.

  35. Jenny says:

    Hollywood and to some extent politics have always swept horrendous behavior under the rug, especially before the gossip blogs and internet made it an “entertaining” business. I read that Spencer Tracy (who cheated on his wife for years with Katherine Hepburn, but gets no scorn for it, but people talk about their wonderful love) was an alchoholic who disappeared frequently while drinking. I loved me some Steve McQueen, but he was also notorious in his day, but there was no d-listed to dig into it. Great publicists can hide and/or create personas to meet the publics glassy eyed thoughts about actors.

    Sheen is a sad, deluded man with multiple problems and addictions, but the legitimate and tabloid press are giving him the opportunity to show his melt-down in public (like Anna-Nicole) because it makes money and because the public seems to think it is amusing, but it is just sad and unfortunate.

  36. Bill Hicks is God says:

    Oh, the the chafing, controlling Studio System. Meanwhile, it was the only thing protecting the talent from themselves and publicity like this by rigourously dictating and enforcing what the public saw of their “idols.”

    If Errol Flynn was alive and carrying on today like he did, he’d make Sheen look like an amateur wannabe. And Jack Warner would have put his cigar out on his forehead and fired him on the spot long before it became this insane circus.

  37. Hmmm says:

    No, Charlie. There is nothing ‘epic’ about you or anything that has happened to you or to those around you. You’re a common, garden variety addict but not as sad as most. Far worse, you are a debauched woman batterer and your life is a crime. You’re a waste of space.

  38. gloaming says:

    @ Deven – Well said. I completely agree.

  39. mary says:

    get those kids out of there!!!!

  40. Theresa says:

    If anyone has had any experience or known anyone connected with a substance abuser, than you would know NOT to believe a single word that comes out of Charlie Sheen’s mouth. In fact, you can get the truth by believing the absolute opposite of everything he says. He is not winning, he is losing. He is not happy, he is depressed to a depth that is not even measurable.

    However, I do believe him when he rants and rages at the people who he thinks have wronged him because he is a self-centered pitiful addict that only wants sycophants around him that enable his behavior.

    The fact that Brooke Mueller allows their children into that residence, under those circumstances, goes to show that she is as delusional as he is. Or she is completely being paid to shut up and accept this as the new status quo. Either way, this is a pathetic circus act that has us watching in disbelief. The only victims are the children, and the damage done will probably not be seen for some years to come. But come it will.

  41. DSMR says:

    I spoke with someone this last weekend who co-starred with CS in a movie from the 90’s, this person said: “CS has had way too many f—— chances in Hollywood and was screwed up back then”. Based on the interviews I’ve seen. It is blatantly obvious he has issues and is in need of some assistance

  42. cici says:

    hatsumomo, you’re exactly right. everyone in hollywood has their issues and they’re totally manufactured to look otherwise. no wonder they go crazy like tomkat or check out like heath ledger.

    honestly, i don’t condone charlie’s disregard for his childrens’ well beings BUT i hear what he’s saying- he’s done pretending to be something other than what he wants to be. as soon as everyone accepts that, he’d probably pipe down.

  43. Justaposter says:

    I keep thinking about how Martin kept saying (paraphrasing) “Lift him up with prayer”. I think they have had to make some sort of peace with the fact that he is an out of control addict, and they are powerless in making him get better.

    Sometimes sadly, families really do have to get to that place just to emotionally survive this.

    Hopefully Brooke is getting her ducks in a row and like Denise, seeking full custady now.

  44. Ndukwe-Nwoke Chiziterem says:

    Grandiose.
    I mean, what’s grandiose about living with whores, or claiming not to have raised his arm against a woman with that very obvious look of a deranged lunatic (i mean, see the interview with piers), or being the on headline news in every single news station (including foreign news stations) being portrayed as a damaged soul plummeting head-wards to public embarassment and an inevitable woeful end.
    It’s not grandiose. It’s lunacy of the highest order.

  45. original kate says:

    where the hell is CPS? if charlie were a bus driver or some other regular guy someone would be investigating the safety of his kids in that crazy house. mark my words, someone will forget to feed those kids or something equally horrible.

    as for charlie he looks older than kirk douglas – and not as together.

  46. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    This is going to end badly for the kids.

    For cracked out Charlie, Brooke and the “goddesses” (your moms must be so proud to see you on tv with Charlie calling YOU goddesses-yuck) who cares?

    Only the kids matter.

  47. Sumodo1 says:

    Yes, he is delusional. Mad.

  48. judig says:

    What’s amazing is that most of the response does not see the amazing pile of mental health issues with Charlie. People think it’s all the drugs or the whole “Lay off him he can live how he wants if he gets to work on time.” This man is having a Manic or Hypomanic episode. He tested clean on his drug tests? That’s because he’s manic! So sad the lack of education and understanding of mental illness. Of course it’s going to look like “everyone is judging him” to him. What’s sad is how some mentally healthy people are agreeing with him! Well, I guess we’ll always have enablers. Lucky for Charlie’s addiction…not so lucky for Charlie or anyone who truly loves him.
    I watched the 45 minute TMZ interview last night and I was exhausted just trying to watch him maintain his defensive deluded rationalizations. The only people who are going to be able to hang around that type of energy are going to be people that are paid to be there…Hence the porn stars that you are paying to hang out that don’t judge. Winning!
    Who was it who said, “thou protest too much”?

  49. judig says:

    One more thing…

    I hope an interviewer asks, “How will you feel if (and when) your daughters want to become porn stars?”

    Would he rationalize he is OK with that? Because little girls love their daddies and want to become the women that they love so they are loved.

    I hope his children will find their way with all this.

  50. annie says:

    Charlie is gone and I can see why his father can’t help him BUT for Gods sake Martin- at least get your grandkids out of that house!!!!!! arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  51. alexandra says:

    He wouldn’t sound so crazy if his outside wouldn’t look like something you find in the gutter covered in gray sludge. If I were Charlie Sheen I would hire a mortician to give me the works. Make him look alive at least.

  52. alexandra says:

    The graphic designer is high as balls. Watch how she grinds her lower jaw.

  53. Amy says:

    If Charlie wants to live like Caligula, then let him but the fact is, he is costing people money who can’t go to work on his crappy sitcom.

    Does he think the crew and lesser castmembers have money saved up like him? They have families to feed! That’s so sh*tty of him.

    As for his kids, I assume they are being raised by nannies and are set for life monetarily. As my mother would say, “They are in God’s hands now.” Hopefully, the cycle of addiction won’t be passed on to them.

    Jenna Jameson even said he was bad news, lol. I remember her talking on Howard Stern years ago about Charlie basically stalking her. Recently, she said any woman should “run screaming” from him.

  54. Cha Cha Loca says:

    Seriously, Best Anal Sex Scene at the 2008 AVN Awards?! Wow, what an accomplishment. I can’t help but wonder what that trophy looks like. Does she keep it on the mantle above the fireplace for all to see? Guess that makes her goddess of the moon…

  55. bunkins says:

    Love it! Tiger blood!
    I like his candor. He seems to have a few screws loose and looks like crap but at least he is being honest. Most celebs do all sorts of bad shit possibly worse and cover it up. They have a glossy fake image and behind the scenes are completely different.
    Publicists are paid liars… CS is crazy but kind of refreshing. Putting it all out there. Winning! Brooke seems like complete trash.
    BTW those chicks are not attractive.

  56. gg says:

    This is the only person in the world that I think NEEDS $ci-fi-tology.

  57. Lila says:

    I think we should pit him, Gibson and Lohan against the Church of Scientology and have a craze off. Galliano can do wardrobe and Aguilera can do the soundtrack. That would be EPIC.

  58. Eve says:

    Seriously, Best Anal Sex Scene at the 2008 AVN Awards?! Wow, what an accomplishment.

    @ Cha Cha Loca:

    I was being sarcastic. Sheesh…

  59. Moopeemeepee says:

    You have all just judged yourselves!

  60. Maritza says:

    The man is obviously not sleeping well, that can drive anyone crazy. I kind of feel sorry for him at this point, he is self destructing right before our eyes. His parents must be suffering to see him like this.

  61. dread pirate cuervo says:

    I hear mental illness exacerbated by longterm drug abuse. But also, here & there, brutal honesty that people don’t want to hear. CS is saying I want to do drugs & bang hookers & I don’t care who knows it. Most celebs run to rehab begging forgiveness when they get caught. CS isn’t doing that & people don’t know how to handle that. He needs to be institutionalized. But I doubt even that would work as he doesn’t WANT to be sober. It’s never worked for him b/c he’s never wanted it.

  62. dread pirate cuervo says:

    Also, somebody needs to call CPS twice. Once to get his twins out of the house & again to check out those barely legal hookers. I think he’s at the point where he’s not going to care if they’re 18. He has a type & that type is jailbait.

  63. Eve says:

    Oh, man…I just clicked on that link from another post (Cats quoting Charlie Sheen). Can’t stop laughing.

  64. MoxieTime says:

    I agree with Deven and commenters to earlier posts that Charlie is showing signs of being bipolar. This would explain the clean urine test. Drugs may only be a small part of his problem.

  65. Henry says:

    I always believed Denise, there was never any doubt in my mind she was telling the truth. I never understood why she got such a bad rap. She was up against Charlies money and power and his publicity machine. I think she deserves alot of credit for holding her head up high and raising her children in as normal a way as she could given their fathers craziness.

  66. Denver Danni says:

    Why the hell would he call out Angus? He’s a kid! This is kind of interesting: http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2011-03-01-sheen01_CV_N.htm. I keep waiting for him to end up like Allison: http://www.homorazzi.com/article/inhalants-intervention-allison-lancaster-ohio-taser-fire-huffing-daniel-wood/.

  67. Denver Danni says:

    Follow-up question for the Celebitchy expert writers / fellow gossip blog junkies: what ever came of Jon Cryer’s ex-wife going nuts and where are the kids? They had one child together and then she had another that I think was the subject of abuse.

  68. noirod says:

    Actually I feel sorry for him, it’s so very very sad, he needs help!!

  69. lrm says:

    yea, manic episode for sure.
    even if some of you think it’s ‘the drugs’ and using mental illness is an excuse…remember that drugs to wreck the body/brain chemistry balance…so bi polar and addict go hand in hand, whether it’s the chicken or the egg, makes no difference.

    that is bi polar with charlie sheen, i’ve seen that before. whew.

  70. original kate says:

    “So sad the lack of education and understanding of mental illness.”

    @ 49: (can’t read the name): and i’m assuming you are a psychiatrist? massive amounts of drugs will make you act this way, too, and they can cause brain damage. no one can tell from looking at video of a drug addict whether they are bipolar or or not – until the person gets sober (which obviously won’t happen with charlie) that diagnosis cannot be made. what we do know is this guy has done insane amounts of alcohol, drugs and god knows what else, and his incoherent, grandiose rambling is also pretty typical of people who are coked out. is mental illness masking drug addiction or is it the other way around? or both? or neither? newsflash: not all bipolar people behave the same way during manic phases, or between cycling, which is why it takes an average of 7-8 years for bipolars to be diagnosed. it is a very complicated disease that cannnot be diagnosed by anyone without extensive testing/therapy/treatment. for someone lamenting the lack of education around mental illness you should know that. if you are not bipolar you don’t know what you’re talking about and if you are then you should know better.

    i am bipolar, and i would never attempt to “diagnose” anyone else as bipolar. we are all different; i belong to a bipolat support group and we are a varied lot, with different symptoms and backgrounds. there are no “obvious” signs for bipolar, regardless of how easy it is to hang that label on anyone behaving in a questionable way.

    as for charlie he will most likely OD or have a heart attack before he gets treatment, so we will probably never know for sure.

  71. TXCinderella says:

    How convenient that he has forgotten that he:

    1) Shot Kelly Preston in the arm

    2) Pushed and shoved Denise Richards

    3) Held a knife to Brooke Mueller

    This guy is in a downward spiral. I feel sorry for his kids and the Mothers of his kids.

  72. Marianne says:

    Can you please stop scaring me with Charlie Sheen’s face?

  73. Camille says:

    He is f*cked. Does he think he’s some kind of Hefner clone now? Crazy SOB.

  74. RHONYC says:

    G-N-A-R-L-Y?
    really?
    smmfh.
    😆

  75. rispah says:

    In the mental health field it is not clear if the mental health illness cause the drug addiction, or the drugs cause the psyc illness. One thing is clear, Charley is mentally ill and should be in treatment by a mental health professional.

  76. KO says:

    I got through about ten seconds after the first bimbo started talking. So sad his kids can’t just up and leave.

  77. sheri716 says:

    Maybe he found out he has AIDS or something and is going out with a last EPIC bang. He has got to have all kinds of diseases with that lifestyle for so long.

  78. Jeannified says:

    Ya know…I had thought he was done. However, after having heard these interviews today, I DO believe that he’s smart and determined enough to be able to get SOMETHING going for himself, and his “family!” (I can’t believe that Brooke Mueller would even consider staying in his house and letting her boys be around him and having those two twits watching the boys!)

    Anyway, I would bet that someone will pick him up and let him do a show and give him another chance. It’s possible that he IS sober right now…at least in the physical sense. It explains why he is still disheveled looking…withdrawals. Anyway, I doubt this “sobriety” will last, with the way he’s handling it. He probably does feel sincere in everything that he’s saying, but it doesn’t mean that he’s not off his rocker! Man, what a mess he’s created for himself and so many others.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Chuck Lorre would have even worked things out with him, even after his rant, but the fact that Charlie Sheen is INSISTING on a $3 million dollar paycheck to boot…I think that probably killed his chances.

    I DON’T think he should have brougth up John Crier and Angus Jones names in this whole thing. This mess is completely of HIS making. They don’t need to be expected to have to have any involvement with it.

    Crazy Train … this way.

    Cancer is not an addiction.

  80. jane16 says:

    God he looks terrible, like he’s dying of cancer or something. I showed the kids & told them, this is what drugs do to you. We all bad for his poor family. How humiliating for them that he has to be strung out in public.

  81. Sassy says:

    Holy fuck balls, he looks dead. And his eyes freak me out. They roam all over the place and look like they’re about to bug out of his corpsy head.

    And what mother in their right fucking mind would allow him to have those babies in his home unsupervised with paid hookers caring for them? THE FUCK?

    I hope Denise Richards keeps her girls away from him!

    If this guy isn’t dead in 6 months, I’ll be surprised.

  82. Elodie says:

    All the slut-shaming of the porn stars is getting tiresome. There’s nothing wrong with them being porn stars. There’s something very wrong with them living with Charlie Sheen — no amount of money is enough to be an enabler of an abusive drug addict. I hope he’s paying them what they think their lives are worth, because that’s what they risk every day.

    I have had family members who were addicts, and family members who had mental problems. Neither were violent. That’s not the addiction, and it’s not whatever mental illness he has: it’s all him. Hollywood didn’t care so long as he was abusing women, it didn’t care about his death spiral, but raising his voice against his boss? Bad Charlie, you’re supposed to use women for your violent tendencies, not let them spill out onto another powerful man.

    I hope the kids get removed from the house, but he’s a rich white straight dude, so I’m not holding my breath.

  83. Just Me says:

    deven:Well said!
    judig: Agree!
    Justaposter: I keep thinking about how Martin kept saying (paraphrasing) “Lift him up with prayer”. I think they have had to make some sort of peace with the fact that he is an out of control addict, and they are powerless in making him get better.

    Sometimes sadly, families really do have to get to that place just to emotionally survive this.

    That is sadly often the case.
    When our son was going through the ups and downs of his bipolar episodes, and trying to manage his life with alcohol and drugs, that is exactly how we felt.
    After over 15 years of drama and trauma we came to a place of resignation where we said, “If anything happens to him and he dies, at least, his torment will be ended.”
    Although it is true that not all bipolar individuals are the same they do have symptoms that are recognizable
    to all those close to them.

    As a parent there is only so much you can do for someone so determined to, I quote, “live their own life as they want without any interference from you or anyone else!”

    originalkate: . . . if you are not bipolar you don’t know what you’re talking about and if you are then you should know better.

    Oh my dear, so not true.
    Loving someone who is troubled by all that bi polar encompasses, my heart has ached beyond your understanding, at the toll the vicious cycle takes.
    We walked together with our son, not in each other’s footsteps, but side by side striving for peace of mind and health of body.
    I wish that for all of you.

  84. UrbanRube says:

    This guy has about a year to live.

  85. Venus says:

    He’s talking to anyone who will listen EXCEPT CBS — he’s punishing CBS for canceling the show. In his own mind, I’m sure he thinks that is making them suffer.

    Oh, and I’m tired of the cries of poor Carlos & his mental illness. IMO, He’s a self-centered, entitled d-bag & the drugs fried his brain (not the other way around).

  86. Kloops says:

    Wow. This is tragic. At first it was kind of funny with his “Bring it!” comments and the like, but now it’s clear he’s very mentally ill, as well as addicted. He needs to be institutionalized, otherwise he’s not going to live much longer.

  87. erica says:

    We might have a little compassion here.

    He’s obviously in the throes of a manic episode. It’s not just his “addiction” (which I put in quotes because he’s probably self-medicating and in that sense the drugs/alcohol are less about being a party animal and more a symptom of his disease.) And he’s not just “crazy” (I put that in quotes because it’s frankly offensive).

    If he had cancer or diabetes we wouldn’t be laughing at him or mocking him, we’d be lifting him up in prayer, just as his dad suggests.

    I appreciate the empathy that some who have been there (or who work with people who have been there — as I do) have. And I hope that one day Charlie will too.

    @Venus: there are many who would agree with you. Mental illness does not manifest as open festering wounds or physical ailments. It often manifests through actions or behaviors that can push a lot of buttons. And it’s the assumption that these are selfish, self-serving choices that it makes it so hard for people to understand.

  88. original kate says:

    “my heart has ached beyond your understanding, at the toll the vicious cycle takes.”

    @ just me: i am truly sorry about your son, but i AM bipolar, and yeah, i have some first-hand understanding of the vicious cycle this disease takes both on me and my loved ones. my point (which you did not get, evidently) is that it is impossible to know if someone has bipolar as long as they are using drugs/alcohol. none of us are charlie’s doctor, so we only know what we see, and this behavior could be the result of a number of things. most bipolar people are not violent drug addicts and i am tired of being categorized as such by people who have no clue what they’re talking about. everyone assumes drug use and bipolar go hand in hand, but i have never exhibited the “classic” signs of bipolar: drugging, drinking, spending too much money or hypersexuality; nonetheless i am bipolar. i have worked damn hard to have a normal life and most people who know me don’t know i am bipolar – not my coworkers, not the people i play with in orchestra, not my neighbors; that doesn’t mean i don’t struggle with it every day, it just means i don’t use it as a convenient excuse to act like a violent asshole. i may be sick but i am still able to take responsibility for my actions.

    charlie sheen may very well be mentally ill (something is wrong with him, for realz) but none of can know for certain, and we shouldn’t be hanging medical labels on people we don’t know. bipolar illness is a disease that needs to be diagnosed/treated by medical professionals, not by people on a gossip site.

    “I have had family members who were addicts, and family members who had mental problems. Neither were violent. That’s not the addiction, and it’s not whatever mental illness he has: it’s all him.”

    @ elodie: thank you, that is exactly my point.

  89. Ruby Red Lips says:

    @ Original Kate, much respect for sharing, I hope u continue to do well and wish u all the best with ur life with bpd, you are obv v courageous and strong. Such a refreshing and honest comment on a very difficult subject

  90. jen says:

    Put him on your death pool, kids. I’ll be shocked if he makes it till the end of the year.

  91. Ruffian9 says:

    Wow, Dude has AGED. Commit yourself, Charlie. I’m serious.

  92. GIA says:

    those poor twin boys are doomed. I really don’t understand where child protective services are in this case????
    and I loved the headline of CS on the “goddesses” they don’t judge me. yes, they just suck up your vast millions, free rent and their moment in the spotlight. does he really think they would be there if he was broke?
    really I pray for those poor kids and his kids with Denise Richards because they are going to be taunted and embarrassed in school for their idiot fathers’ behavior.

  93. Just Me says:

    original kate:@ just me: i am truly sorry about your son, but i AM bipolar, and yeah, i have some first-hand understanding of the vicious cycle this disease takes both on me and my loved ones. my point (which you did not get, evidently) is that it is impossible to know if someone has bipolar as long as they are using drugs/alcohol.

    I did get your point.
    My point was made as a parent, no more, no less. Speaking about how little influence a parent has on their adult
    child dealing with bipolar-ism.
    I did not then nor do I now claim to be an expert on giving that diagnosis to anyone.
    Although, I did not deem it necessary when giving my parental view about the disease, I also am bipolar.
    Doesn’t make me an expert on anyone other than myself and merely knowledgeable as regards my son.

    I recognize and applaud your courage and your accomplishments.

    Like yourself, I have no history of alcoholism, drug taking or violence.
    For that I am truly grateful.
    Being bipolar does not define who I am.
    I am simply, Just Me.

  94. jane16 says:

    Just got back from market & ran into warner exec that we know. He told me that 2 1/2 may not be dead in the water after all. Apparently the brass are thinking that if they put it back on, for season 10, it will get an even larger viewership becuz of the drama. Like people looking at an accident. They are trying to figure out what to do about Lorre though. He also said that Lorre is an *sshole, and I have heard this also thru the years (not excusing Charlie one bit though). Anyway, folks, as usual in Hwood, its all about the money.

  95. original kate says:

    “Being bipolar does not define who I am.”

    yes, exactly. we are individuals and should be treated as such. i just get my feathers ruffled when i see people (i am not including you) saying things like “obviously charlie sheen/mel gibson/whomever is bipolar.” sometimes it is NOT obvious, and nobody should be playing armchair psychiatrist. that would not be tolerated with other diseases, such as AIDS or cancer, so why is it okay to do so with bipolar? i think it is the new trendy thing to call people, as in “my boss is always so bitchy – she must be bipolar” or “my brother-in-law is such a rageaholic- he must be bipolar.” people tend to throw the term around without really knowing what it means and i believe it is always dangerous to label people. also, it belittles those of us who strive to be accomplished, happy people living normal lives despite the hell that is bipolar.

    Poor twins! With those parents what is going to happen to them

  97. Just Me says:

    original kate: Well put!

  98. Wresa says:

    Ok, I’m just going to refer to him as the Mad Hatter from now on.

    I like how he uses the word “grandiose” without realizing “grandiose delusions” is the clinical term for what he is experiencing right now. I would say it is getting closer to the first step of admitting you have a problem, but ohhh yeah AA doesn’t work so…

    And MH, people aren’t treating you like a 12-year-old, they are treating you like a crack head going through serious psychosis.

  99. Crash2GO2 says:

    @Denver Danni: Thank you for the links, although the second has been pulled. This in particular struck me: “Sheen seems so sick, Ragan says, that the news media should consider declining any interviews until he gets help. Using Sheen’s illness for shock value or ratings is exploitation, Ragan says.”

    This I can get behind whole heartedly. And a big thank you for everyone who has shared their personal experience with bi-polar disorder. I myself have the milder version and I count myself very lucky indeed.

  100. KatScorp says:

    Hear hear, Original Kate. I am grinding my teeth (ooooh… sign of agitation… I must be bipolar!!!1!1) in response to all of the posters who are leaping aboard the diagnosing train. In the late 1990s, it was Epstein-Barr syndrome. In the early 2000s, it was Chronic Fatigue. In the mid-2000s, it was depression… nowadays? Due in part to the excess of rumours thrown around about Britney, the ‘in style’ illness has become Bipolar Disorder.

    Call a spade a spade, a nut a nut; and a CRACKHEAD a CRACKHEAD! Charlie Sheen has admitted to doing a shitload of cocaine; it is perfectly safe now for interviewers, bloggers, posters and hairdressers to talk openly about how Charlie’s chosen lifestyle has phuked up his brain chemistry. The “OMG, I wiki’ed bipolar and got an on-line psychiatry certificate! Charlie is definately bipolar” claims are bloody annoying.

    Charlie Sheen was ‘clean’ for two years by his own admission. He chose to go back to crack. Put the blame squarely on his shoulders, don’t fob it off as him being some sort of victim, blaming a mental illness for his behaviour. Charlie crashed his own car.

  101. eternalcanadian says:

    I hope for the sake of those two boys someone steps in and intervenes before their parents implode. Brooke should have followed Denise’s path out the door and far away from Charlie, but instead she lets Charlie see the twins and in turn endangers them. So sad.

  102. Salem says:

    I really really wish all media outlets would have decency compassion and the conscience to not interview this guy. What they are doing, interviewing him for him to be lampooned by the public, is cruel. This man is clearly very sick; very very sick and deranged. He is suffering some type of psychosis or schitzophrenia, possibly both. Anyone can see he is unstable and mentally unwell. What good does it do, to interview him when he is in this state? What purpose does it serve? The only purpose I can see, is to mock and lampoon him, to expose him to ridicule. Its like poking a wingless fly. Its cruel. If the media had any sensitivity towards his mental state and well-being, and any sense of decency and conscience, they would not engage him while he is this unwell. It is inhumane and very low. No one deserves to be lampooned like this. Especially someone who is very ill. Media, have the sense to know when someone is unwell and hurting, and leave them alone. He needs help, not to be a pseudo object of derision in a freak circus where everyone can gawk, point and laugh. Its cruel.

  103. Str8Shooter says:

    Regardless of his obvious addiction and resulting mental health issues, I believe he knows EXACTLY what he is saying in these interviews.

    The arrogance and condescending attitude he has is nothing if not real.

    He’s grandiose all right. A grand ASSHOLE if there ever was one.

    Spoiled, self-indulgent celebrity. Nothing more.

  104. Shay says:

    This guy makes train wrecks look like luxury journeys on the Queen Mary 2.

  105. Molly says:

    I love Charlie, but when the money runs out, those “Goddesses” won’t be sticking around.

  106. Fuzzy Cat says:

    Charlie is beginning to look like Gollum from Lord of the Rings.

  107. snappyfish says:

    There is no one more loyal than the one who can be purchased for cold hard cash…at least until the cash runs out.

    Have fun with “the goddesses” (skanks) They will either die with you or run out on you once your time in the spotlight is through.

    I feel the worse for his daughter and the two little girls with Denise. They are old enough to understand and see their father destruct before their eyes.

  108. Z S says:

    hmmmmmmmmmmmm
    If it had not been for his actions in the first place– none of the show would need to worry about being paid– so what does he think he has done???… oh!!!! Wait — this was a part of his “SHEEN” Plan.

    — his over inflated ego and babbling is nauseating… I know oh to well the aftermath of the infamous alcoholic and the devestation they leave behind– not to mention chumiliated families and children– He has a classic case of a Manic and he is about to slide. Then pop up for air, then slide, air, slide over and over —
