People my age keep talking about Sheen like he's someone whose lifestyle is to be emulated. The new Sinatra or James Dean. Dude beats women. Repeatedly. Why does everyone seem to forget this? He's an awful person. The only reason it's noteworthy is that he's awful in such double-middle-fingered, exaggerated, unabashed fashion. Amusing, yes, but not to be emulated.
Sheen's net worth is at $85 million. I have no interest in emulating this kind of behavior, he's obviously bat shit insane. But I also hate it when celebrities come out and apologize for living in the fast lane, just like everyone expects them to. If I was rich and went out and got wasted and had a good time and/or said something that offended a few people, I wouldn't hold a press conference the next day to say how sorry I was. I would tell everyone to mind their own Goddamn business. Of course, beating women like cowbell mentioned, or doing anything that actually hurts those that are close to you, that's different. One way or another, this is pretty damned entertaining, so I say more power to him.
When the top-billed star of your prime-time comedy show is widely known to act like a berzerk fiend out in town, hooking up with porn stars and high priced escorts while on coke and you're a television network executive, the solution is simple : you force him to rehab. If rehab doesn't stick, you have to cancel the show, plain and simple. Television is a very conservative business when it comes to decisions like that. After all, this is a medium that the networks still have to pay fines when people swear because of "decency". As much as i don't like to cheer for people when they go off the tracks, I like the new Sheen. He's raw, chaotic, probably on something, but in his mind, he is free. Free from the bullshit, free from people telling him what to do, free to live the lifestyle he's always wanted to live but was afraid to. And while now that the network has told him to go fuck himself, he's going to provide "lifestyle material" to keep us all entertained for a while. I also like that he's lobbying for the crews to get paid. It remains to be seen if he's doing it to show his "decent side" but it's a good thing to do nonetheless.
I see Xtina Agu is following his lead so to speak. In Feb alone she fucked up the anthem, tripped and almost fell face first into the audience at the Grammys and now has been popped for *Ron White Voice* Drunk in public. Bravo. As of Sheen, sure it's entertaining to some, grossly overplayed to others and (as for the smackin' the womens around part) disgusting to others (me) soon enough it will get old and he will be forgotten. I think he's fucking nuts and think about his kids more so than anything or anyone else. And thanks to him and his selfish antics a lot of people are out of work now or in the very near future. You like it and want to be like him or wish you could? Perhaps you should realign or review your own shit.
She also went to Jeremy Renner's birthday party and was so wasted she passed out in his bed. Even though they never met.
Sorry SheGirl, but the cast of 2 & 1/2 Men are being compensated for the remaining four episodes of the season that were canceled and will be free to get work since Pilot season is coming soon. And by cast I mean the cameramen, gaffers etc. not the retarded kid and Duckie. Let's face it America as a whole is enabling him, want proof? The highest rated show on last night was a RERUN of 2 & 1/2 Men.
I know that. I was talking more about what could have been subsequent seasons because I don't see him living long enough, wanting to or them taking him back. I suppose your last point may prove that completely wrong. We shall see.
If Vegas had odds, I would put money on CBS and Chuck Lorre having to bring him back, considering that Sheen has already has his attorney filing suit against them for allegedly improperly shutting the show down. CBS countered with supposedly talking about replacing him...with John Stamos. Let's face it, it's not Jon Cryer bringing in the ad revenue or the viewers, his undeserved Emmy aside.
This. I mean, don't get me wrong, tripping balls, banging porn stars and escorts, and smacking them around, is totally my type of scene. Although on a serious note, I'm not sure why these women party with him, knowing what a piece of shit he is...I suppose they expect that kind of treatment by now, and since they almost assuredly do the drugs with him...well, drugs and the desire for them make people do some awfully questionable things they might not normally do. I consider him a criminal and those women pretty much the eternal victims. Even though that last part is something that goes against a lot of my views, it doesn't make it any less true. Anyone who thinks he's "the fucking man!" or what ever, is as deluded as he is. Wasn't he also a big part of Heidi Fleiss' thingy way back when? I wish they'd stop giving this ass clown a podium to talk from. But not only am I not the moral police, this is entertainment in the US now! Silly me...
He paid one of his escorts $30K instead of the (I think) $5K they had agreed on just for the hell of it. Then insisted that she go to the bank and cash the check, which she did. He even got a call from the bank and approved it over the phone before they'd release the money. He's also bought various Bentleys, Mercedes, etc. for other girls. For that kind of money, the girls will keep coming no matter how drugged up, toothless, or insane he becomes. As long as the check clears, the party is on.
Yeah, I read about that, and I agree with you. That's why I made that "eternal victim" statement. Shit, I'm not sure that even I wouldn't do some weird shit for that kind of cash. As long as he has the money for it, people will pretty much do what ever he wants them to...or put up with what ever treatment they "have" to. I'm not getting too bleeding heart here, but it's fucked up when you think about it.
Besides, think about it: when all this shit is over and he is dead from a heart attack or an OD, or when he cleans himself up and is trying to get his kids back (because I can't imagine he'll have custody of his kids for much longer if his current behavior persists), those porn stars will be able to sell their stories to the highest bidder and make even more cash. They've hit the proverbial jackpot, and now they're just sitting back, enjoying the ride, and waiting to cash in when it is over.
I don't know how awesome this is; I'm not a doctor (or anything close), but this seems like a fairly textbook manic episode, combined with drugs and lots and lots of money.
Stage 3 syphilis? Anyone taking bets? I want some action before gummas become visible and wreck the pool. You know Charlie would take some action on it.
Who cares if it is? He's throwing out phrases like "Tiger blood" and "Vatican assassin warlocks." That's better writing than Two and a Half Men has ever produced.
He sounds like folk that I've talked to at an inpatient facility for substance abuse. If I were diagnosing, I'd probably hit him with Cocaine-Induced Psychotic Disorder, With Delusions but I would be trying to rule bipolar disorder. Dude is definitely unhinged and needs to be in treatment somewhere else besides Sober Valley Lodge, or whatever it is he is calling his house.
He's living with Bree Olson, among others. It's not like they're normal human beings. They are, at best, broken. Hot as fuck, yes, but still broken.
Maybe she is insane, and maybe he is so insane that he doesn't realize that he has late stage syphilis. But you can't fault the man's aesthetic tastes, or the inherent humor in taking a meme shitting on what a cluster fuck your life is and responding to it with a picture of yourself and the porn star that you're fucking. Spoiler for those who missed it
