ABC's Charlie Sheen '20/20' review: 'I blinked and I cured my brain.' Now blink and erase our memories of you, Charlie

Now it’s clear why Charlie Sheen was scurrying around the past two days, giving interviews to everyone from Piers Morgan to Howard Stern: He was trying for some advance damage control for the scattered, ego-blasted sit-down he’d taped for ABC’s 20/20, shown on Tuesday night.

Sheen was interviewed by Andrea Canning, who deserves an Emmy for Best Straight Face While Keeping One Eye on the Exit Door. Whether talking about what he’d say to his children about his drug use (“Hey, kids, your dad’s a rock star… They’ll realize how cool Dad is!”) or speaking hymns to his “goddesses” –  girlfriends Natalie Kenly and Rachel Oberlin, who does porn films under the name Bree Olsen — Sheen was a motormouthed fool, a blazingly intelligent idiot in trouble.

You may have already read the sound-bite manifestos Sheen uttered during this special — “I’m on a drug: It’s called Charliesheen!”; “I was banging seven-gram rocks and finishing them, because that’s how I roll” — but seeing them in context helped. Sheen may well have been, as he claimed and a test proved, clean and sober during the period of taping and since, but if so, he’s still been left with the desperate twitches of a thrill addict, totally self-absorbed and defensive.

Sheen bad-mouthed his father, Martin: “I don’t care if he’s my dad — back off with the judgment!” He scoffed when Canning quoted one member of his infamous Plaza Hotel party as saying she feared she might overdose: “That’s on her… If she does, I’m sorry.”

Goddesses Kenly and Oberlin spoke like zombies who’d strayed from another Charlie — Manson. “We all love Charlie,” said Kenly. “We all love and care about each other,” said Oberlin. “There’s not any partyin’ going on, we’re normal people,” she added, until Kenly interrupted to say, “Kind of…”

The it’d-be-funny-if-it-wasn’t-pathetic thing is, for all of Sheen’s sneering at “loser” recovery programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, he blurts variations of AA ideas, such as “apologizing immediately when you’re wrong” and not dwelling on old sins and bad experiences. (“Aren’t you getting that I’m not interested in the past at all?” he asked Canning.)

Charlie Sheen’s recurring theme is that everybody except Charlie Sheen is a dullard — or, in his phrases, “sad trolls,” “boring,” “fools.”

“I was people-pleasing for too long,” he said. No worries about that now, Charlie!

The rest of the hour was a lot of intelligent-guy rambling that’s starting to lose its charm and humor through its unceasing cascade. “I’m a Vatican assassin warlock!” “Dying’s for fools.” “Can’t is the cancer of happen.” “My passion is not from this terrestrial realm.” “I blinked and I cured my brain; everybody has the power.”

It must be exhausting having to live with this nonstop, jokey pseudo-philosophizing; maybe that’s why the goddesses looked dazed.

Sheen’s solution to getting Two and a Half Men back in production? A lawsuit, an apology to exec producer-creator Chuck Lorre, and some kind of agreement: “Sit in a room and say, ‘We hate each other. Now let’s keep on making good television.’” Sounds like a plan, Charlie — or like three or four of them, which is typical of you.

In the evening’s best exchange, Canning said, “Your passion is coming off as erratic.” Sheen responded with what was the most poignant line of the night: “You borrow my brain for, like, five seconds and you’d be like, ‘Dude, can’t handle it — unplug this bastard!’”

I hope Sheen retains his health, “tiger blood and Adonis DNA” and all. I hope he continues those 5 a.m. exercise sessions. I hope he starts thinking about someone besides himself. And I hope he unplugs his brain and allows it to rest for a while.

How about you?

    One of the most bizzare interviews I have ever seen.

    • Ann

      I didn’t watch it but KT’s take on TV is always right on. This guys (Sheen) has four young children and it is sad to see him so crazy and into himself. It seemed too crazy for me to actually sit through that kind of interview.

      • Ruf

        He seemed desperate to sound witty and cool. The big paychecks are gone and he knows it…can you imagine Charlie on a budget???

      • me, Baby, ME

        I have to admit, the only non-scripted show i watch is Top Chef–mostly because of the sheer banality that most reality T.V. embraces–but this Charlie Sheen stuff is effin’ compelling. I haven’t watched 2.5Men in years, but for the last week, one of my first actions of the day is to find out what Charlie Sheen said yesterday. I mean, when was the last time (any time) that somebody embraced their downfall this enthusiastically, ESPECIALLY on camera?! I’m an aspiring writer, and the last few days have been a little difficult for me knowing that Charlie Sheen is saying more quote-worthy phrases, jibes, and mantras in a few interviews than I can ever hope to produce in a lifetime. I haven’t seen 2.5MEN in years, but if new episodes were running, I’d feel the need to record it, because if Sheen is able to play a normal/sane person, he’s obviously doing some of the best acting in years. Somewhere, Joaquin Phoenix sits and weeps, cursing Sheen and screaming to the heaven’s “Why?! Why didn’t I take it far enough?! WHERE DID I GO WRONG?!?!” I do feel kind of guilty knowing that I had no interest in Sheen as a drug-addled T.V. star, but as a crazy person in the middle of a really powerful sobriety-induced haze, he is so watchable it’s hard to look away. Rephrase. It’s hard not to stare with my mouth open, watching all of these interviewers comport themselves in a faux non-judgmental manner that only serves to fuel Sheen’s ranting, and leads him to think he’s fine. If this saga was a reality series, it would go to the top of my DVR priority list immediately. If they ever make a book of collected Charlie-babble, I’m pre-ordering a copy. I want his words on CD, I need the podcast if there is one, and if they don’t make a DVD of at least the 20/20, I will have an empty void in my life that can only be filled by one thing… Winning! If you printed the transcript of his 20/20 and grind it into a powder, you’d have the most powerful and addictive drug known to man. His headstone will read “STILL WINNING. NOW BEATING GOD.” I mean, wow. Just…WOW.

      • me, Baby, ME

        “Sheen said that” is my new favorite saying. Put it after ANY crazy quote and it’ll
        work better than any Chuck Norris joke ever has; just add the word “Winning!” to the end. Try it.
        “I don’t need food, I feed off of winning. My body operates at a level of efficiency and sheer power that even the most advanced spacecrafts cannot hope to emulate! But like those spacecrafts, I don’t need food, only fuel. And WINNING is my fuel. Losers like Chaim Levine only add to that fuel. Only add to MY winning. Hey losers, thanks for the fuel. Winning!” Sheen said that.
        “I’ve purchased a lot of books recently, not for reading purposes, just so I can practice judging them by their covers. I was the second gunman on the grassy knoll, and the first. Winning!” Sheen said that.
        “People say winning is hard? Well then I’m hard as a diamond. I’m a throbbing, engorged, tumescent ROD of winning. I’m hard as they come. Winning!” Sheen said that.
        “I love the smell of victory in the morning, it smells like napalm. Which I also love to smell… WHILE WINNING! Seriously though, I DO keep a can of napalm on my bedside table. Winning!” Sheen said that.
        Thank you, Charlie, thank you.

      • Kat

        Me,baby,me, I love you. I couldn’t possibly have said it better myself! Rock on, rockstar Sheen! Rock on.

      • zili

        Charlie Sheen will be dead soon. The man has a death wish. In my opinion, I think Charlie Sheen is bi-polar.

        Ken Tucker always right?! Did you read his Oscar recap?! LOL
        That being said, I can believe him here.

      • LoliRyder

        me Baby me – awesome. there’s a writer in you yet…

      • tommyboy42353

        Don’t you realize that he has more money than he could ever spend. He also gets the money from the shows reruns.%0-80 million you fools..

      • SandyBeach54

        He has 5 children.One that is 15 with his 2nd wife.

      • pk

      • Tall Amy

        What a amazing and brilliant human being who can satisfy the desires of so many women and love them with care and compassion and TallPeopleMeet was amazing

      • coco

        dear me, baby, ME…I’m still crying from laughter at your comments. Totally hysterical and right on. If you publish a book, let me know. I’ll read it.

    • Dan

      When I die, I want to be reincarnated as Charlie Sheen. He’s living the dream of every alpha male.

      • joela

        An idiot as an alpha male? Please. Kings of England and the like. There’s real power, personality, and all without the use of drugs.

      • Alberta Einsteinia

        Idiot.

      • K

        Seriously? That’s so pathetic.

      • sophie-h

        Yeah, what a dream. Whores, whores everywhere but I’ve done so much coke I can’t do anything about it. Limp d*ck Charlie, king of the pimps.

      • ccrowley

        Sorry to hear you say that because drugs are a one way ticket to family and finally self destruction, very sad statement Dan, I sure hope you think a little bit about what you just stated here!

      • Matt

        That’s not my dream buddy, don’t speak for everyone.

      • Kiki

        An alpha male is defined as “the male the other males will follow.” I don’t know any guys who want Charlie Sheen as their leader…that’s the surest way to be led off a cliff.

      • Bre

        @ Joela….I was under the Impression England operated under a Parliment/Prime Minister and the only power the family still retained was figureheads of state and ability to be a constant presence in the tabloids (which, after this, there is no doubt in my mind Charlie will be too). I wish I was Charlie Sheen at the moment, simply because he seems to be enjoying himself the way few people seem to, but mostly because the things coming out of his mouth are amazing and I wish I had the imagination/hallucinations to come up with them myself.

      • Joanie

        Dan, as I say to my children: “Aim higher.” If you think Charlie Sheen is living the dream, you have serious issues.

      • Allen

        If you have kids, I feel sorry for them.

      • Matt

        A real alpha male would have one wife and would stick with her through thick and thin, not this bozo who was divorced three times. He doesn’t want to visit the past because he keeps making the same stupid mistakes, now he’s hanging on to his last brain cell. Ya real hero, your pathetic for saying that.

      • bfd

        As another Alpha male, this strutting and posturing is fooling no one but idiots like you and Charlie Sheen. This man offers nothing to society and thank god they took those kids away from him. I’d be ashamed to be a father like that.

      • holly

        Dan you’re dumb

      • portlandia

        Just remember: the bigger the talk, the smaller the penis. “Alpha” males tremble in fear of their own weakness.

      • deej

        all you need to quit hatin’. damn. money, power, endless women.. ahhhh (:

      • Scott

        When you die, you will be Charlie Sheen. You’re coming off very stupid. Chuck is hardly a alpha male. Now you can be a retarded male, that works in this context. Set your site higher ding dong.

      • Neil

        You are right on Dan. He’s living the dream.

    • Charles

      Charlie Sheen will be dead soon. The man has a death wish. In my opinion, I think Charlie Sheen is bi-polar.

      • Celimene

        Absolutely. My uncle is bi-polar and tends to self-medicate with some of the same stuff Sheen professes to like. Similar grandiose behavior. He’s definitely riding a mania at the moment. When he crashes, this isn’t going to be pretty.

      • Jae

        This totally my thought. He is having a manic episode. He probably has an underlying personality D.O too but he is so manic it’s crazy. He was wondering speech, delusions of grandure, paranoia, I could go on. He needs help but you heard him say himself that he doesn’t want to take meds and be normal. I thought the interview was fascinating and sad.

      • jane

        Classic manic behavior–very sad. Medication could turn him back into the intelligent, creative, (even tho narcissistic) man that he is.

      • ck

        It’s so classic and so real, it’s erie. When he does crash off the manic episode, it will be awful for him and those who love him. And I’m pretty certain, that contrary to what he claims now, he won’t be proud to have a video record of this for his children. God bless, because a lot of people around him could use some peace now.

      • Rowan

        You and every health care professional who watched Charlie Sheen in these interviews. He is clearly manic and if he lives though the wall he’s about to hit, he will be damn lucky.

        I feel sorry for his eldest daughter, Cassandra. The other kids are too young to even know any of this is happening, but Cassandra is 25 and is bombarded with watching her father spin out of control on national television. How devastating that must be.

    • sara

      the really scary thing is, there are people wo actually find this creep in any way entertaining.

      • Lily

        Agree, sara. He is disrespectful to his father, disdainful and oblivious to his children, has contempt for the TV show and network that feeds him, scoffs at his former and apparently loyal PR person, is a roaring egomaniac, a man in his forties (?) who looks 140. He seems bi-polar in a manic phase on top of all the drug stuff. YUK. “Creep” is the perfect word.

      • Amanda

        It isn’t entertaining in the traditional sense. When people talk about why we, as a society, enjoy putting people on a pedestal and tearing them down, this is the reason. Charlie Sheen has come out and said that he thinks he’s better than other people. He feels he is special, with his Adonis DNA and tiger blood, because he’s an actor. This man makes $2million an episode for a contrived, predictable sitcom. He has officially bought into his own hype. As a society, we are now buying front row seats to watch him crash and burn. The whole thing is sad really, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t sign up to follow Charlie Sheen on Twitter last night.

    • Jeff

      Sheen is intelligent and the pressures of being the star of a sucessful show must be terific, but he does appear to be drugged out.

    • Christopher

      He’s like a lost character from Anchorman– you can tell he wants to believe his own ridiculous hype, but doesn’t. This is sad, very sad, and I want to look away.

    • Pamela

      Where is a 5150 and a conservator when you need one????

    • JD

      Is this guy pulling a Joakim Phoenix stunt?

      • Everyday American

        That’s what I am wondering. Either that, or this is the ultimate middle finger to the institution, whether that be Hollywood, society or just the sanctimonious blowhards who are mostly jealous and who think they know how everyone else should live despite being totally miserable in their own lives.

        It’s not so much I think his critics in the public (i.e., here) are wrong, but they are coming from the wrong place: jealousy and their own misery.

    • Jackie

      I love charlie Sheen, so he has sex with porn stars, both of his exes werenothing but money grabbing hos so what is the difference. If he proved to test clean Charlie is just putting on a show, which the media is lapping up which they always do! Charlie is proving that the media project whatever they want on someone and then they are judged for it! We have heard about a suitcase full of cocaine, are there pictures, so he got hammered, were the kids with him! Charlie is judged for EVERYTHING he does and the media makes sure of it! So he refers to his live ins as goddesses, big deal! Isn’t the media and all these crap shows, TMZ, Good Morning America etc bullies! Sure because they put goddesses out there, suitcases of drugs, partying for days! How many people have partied for days? Does that make every one of them unfit, crazy, makng tirades? If someone were taping Nancy Grace or the early show hosts would they ever be partying, having a good time? Look at Kathie Lee and Hoda don’t they drink on tv? Is that damaging their kids? Let Charlie live his life and do what he does best entertain! He won’t win parent of the year based on what people see on tv, in the tabloids but how does that prove he is a danger to his kids!

      • lwallace

        You cannot compare Kathy Lee and Hoda glass of wine to Charlie Sheen’s Drugapalooza that he had at his house in January or the Pornfest at the Plaza with HIS CHILDREN across the hall!!! The guy got paid $2mill an episode and has chosen to squander it all on porn stars and drugs…Sorry but when you are that talented and you choose to piss it away…you get no sympathy from me…Good Luck Charlie and p.s. you are no rock star!!

      • portlandia

        Sure Charlie Sheen isn’t capable of forming a normal human relationship, but all the people in his life are money grabbing LOSERS anyway! ;)
        (ps…I think “partying for days” DOES make you unfit.)

      • Huh

        If his exes were “money-grubbers”, then why did he pick them? Is he some naive, gullible, pea-brain who can never learn to discern who sincerely cares about him? Either he is hopelessly stupid or he picks “money-grubbers” because no decent person without an ulterior motive will put up with him. So who is using whom? He gets what he pays for, then cries that everyone is taking advantage of him–what a joke! Obviously, his emotional development stopped at age 14.

    • Donald

      Is it possible that Sheen may actually be pulling a Joaquin Phoenix here?

      • Scott

        no he’s pulling a charlie sheen.

      • dragon261

        Nobody is that good an actor.

      • Courty

        THATS MY BOY

        !

    • JH

      he is clearly bipolar and in a state of mania–the crash will come soon, and then hopefully he’ll get help.

      • Sally

        There is no doubt that Charlie Sheen is bipolar. The manic phase will come to an end because they all do and it will sad. Watching Charlie is like watching a train wreck in slow motion – we know it’s going to be bad but we can’t take our eye off of it.

      • Infinity

        That’s the best asnwer of all time! JMHO

    • Tom

      I figured he might be playing himself on 2.5Men, but I thought it was the TV version that was the caricature. Turns out the TV version is scaled down. I like the show. His philosophies do not appeal to me.

    • L.T.

      RICKY GERVAIS is so JUSTIFIED when he run those jokes on the Golden Globes…If these overpaid celebrities cannot behave in public – you get COMEDY GOLDMINE for years and years to come…even if Charlie Sheen od and is in a different realm from us i would still find that funny!

    • Sunny

      This is what happens when decades of massively-drug-abused brain chemistry mixes with multiple STDs like syphilis contracted from his fetish for the foulest of funky female whores.

    • Sunny

      Charlie – Dr. Conrad Murray’s on the phone, and he says he’s got something that will help you sleep. RIP, Carlos Esteves.

  • Brit

    I also totally got a Manson vibe when his “goddesses” were talking about him.

    • susan

      I’m betting their gettin’ their razor blades sharpened so they can start carving up their foreheads. Charlie totally reminded me of Jim Jones and those chicks have totally drunk the koolaid.

    • RoB

      I like Soooo got that Manson vibe too! Those biatches are skag bags!

    • deeannek

      Me too, I felt like I was listening to a cult leader last night-although cult leaders usually hide there crazy better than Charlie Sheen.
      What I can’t figure out is how this guy hasn’t been busted for these mass quatities of drugs everyone says he had or has. Also where in the hell is child protective-get those boys ( Why the heck isn’t Brooke Mueller asking the court for emergency custody? She did however get a protective order for herself) out of there! If I were Denise Richards I would take my kids on a long vacation far away until this situation resolves itself one way or another. Those little girls are old enough to understand that something just ain’t right with daddy.

      • Dev

        They did take the boys last night.

    • hamster

      I got the Manson thing too. To me the “goddesses” were a cross between Manson followers and Sister Wives.

  • Some Guy

    Charlie Sheen is my new hero! Why is everybody hating on him?!?

    • Steve

      Jealousy.

      • Steve . . .

        What exactly is there to be jealous of? He’s been fired from his job, working on his third divorce, seems to be in a strained relationships with his father. He’s in the middle of a PR campaign to talk himself out of the damage done by his first PR campaign. Whatever good looks he might have had have slowly been eaten away by hard living. I’m sure all the teenagers are in awe that he’s banging a model and a porn star at the same time but his other marriages have lasted between 1 and four years so, realistically, how long is the half-life on this Hugh Heffner fantasy? Did I miss something?

      • cava

        Steve, you make some excellent points!

      • joela

        What Steve said.

      • egadsno

        None of those are good points, firstly he had no morals clause in his contract- the only thing that ever jeopardized the show being made is the creator and CBS brass, ofcourse he is going to sue and he already got the crew paid for half of what was contracted to be shot.

        So what if he has been married a few times- since when does every marriage mean both people are really happy? Plenty of people never even get a chance to get married- what exactly does that prove?! Idealistic and shortsighted to judge in such a manner.

        Do his kids like him? He talked to his father on the phone last week- is that estranged?

        Suddenly if you do not agree with a family member you are not part of the family anymore?

      • Sorry egadsno but

        they’re all good points.

      • Anthony

        what kind of straight guy wants to be married to the same girl for more than a year. i like his ways! done with one move to the next! got to try everything once in life and the good things twice. go back to your dark lonely corner steve! and if you dont have a hugh heffner fantasy steve then your boyfreind must be really happy!

      • Lily

        @Steve… right on.

      • ck

        @Steve. Exactly. What is there to be jealous of? If he looked REMOTELY happy, then?? A lot of joy missing from his face and demeanor. A lot of wrecked relationships and a lot of shame and guilt to follow, when he hits the inevitable depression that follows mania. Sad.

      • Will

        @egadsno
        Wrong. Sheen did not get the workers paid..CBS and Warner Bros did.

    • sher

      Love him!!!

      • mike

        If you hang on, I’m sure Charlie will have a new whore slot opening up soon….

      • Anthony

        wow mike a little jealous? you want your own little whore dont you? your 250 plus pound wife aint cutting it for you! that sux’s!

      • bowser

        its like hes really living the two ana hlf men show 4 real maybe thats why its so suureal trippy ithink its awesome lucky dog

      • AMCG

        I hope they re-cast John Stamos and boot Sheen complete, maybe that will knock him down a few pegs. What I don’t like is that he thinks his children will think his antics are legandary, when they are careless. His boys should be taken form him and his ex-wife. It seems like his daughters are fairing much better, there mother is normal.

    • Jason

      There clearly not Winning!

      • Lex

        Neither is our education system, apparently. I shouldn’t be surprised given that we have people such as Sheen in the public eye.

    • sue

      because he is an idiot like you!

      • Sunny

        Haaaaaa! Lex, I don’t think they’ll get that, but I did.

    • Tiffany

      Seriously dude. You really think this behavior is acceptable, Come on, he has those two boys. You think it is appropriate they should see him with two women. He is not teaching them anything except that it is ok to be with two women at the same time.

      • Anthony

        hahahahaha wish my dad taught me that! i had to conjure up a threesome on my own! whats wrong with two women?

      • Bob

        Ahh….the guy has every right to stand up for himself. These people cant scratch their ass without a buch of retards judging them and taking things out of context….after a while the guy has had enough..and he’s retaliating in a way that is just as rediculous as the crap that gets writtwen about him every day …his whole life. Why isnt a person allowed to fire back….the press make stuff up about these stars every day and spread it around for people to read…I say atta bot Charlie…show everyone how retarded the press is…give ‘em all something to talk about

      • Joanie

        Bob, the fact that you have to use the word “retarded” to get you point across says a lot about you.

      • Wil Stuart

        @ Bob: with major celebrity comes the major money, but also comes the major scrutiny. If that’s not fair, then lose the celebrity. THAT’S the tradeoff. It’s just pathetic to see celebrities whining about always being in the public eye…

    • B

      It’s because he’s conjuring magic that none of us normal people have never seen before. Only someone with tiger’s blood and adonis DNA can provide us a with something we will never have for ourselves. WINNING.

      • Bre

        As epic as this post was, it wasn’t quite the most genius thing I’d ever seen until you added the WINNING. it’s funny how now everything sounds ten times more epic with winning at the end.

      • Tray

        WINNING – the new “it” word. So if something does go quite your way – EX: oh man – I need to go to the store – Winning! At the end of every sentence. It does kinda brighten your day a bit doesn’t it? I feel more powerful already!

    • DarkPhoenix

      Charlie Sheen is your HERO?! So you admire and want to emulate a 45 yr old man,who everytime he opens his mouth BOTH feet go in it? Youwant to put on a pedestal a man who sooo delusional (you really don’t believe in Adonis DNA, do you? or that he’s a ‘rock star’?) but I guess that depends on what kind of ‘rock’ you mean.
      It’s basically like yourself who have him believing his own hype,
      the man is coming apart at the seams, and if that’s what you want to hero worship and emulate…then you’er as much of a nut case as he is!

      • The Sitter

        @DarkPhoenix: Well said. It is a very sad day when people actually admire this kind of low life. And to think I used to really like CS. Now he is trying to use public sympathy to get his job back. “Oh poor me, while I was shacked up with 2 women and getting over a drug/booze binge that lasted for days and days, they had the nerve to come get my kids.”
        If this had been a Mom, people would be wanting her to get the chair.

  • Dave

    Charlie Sheen is a personal hero. He doesn’t give a damn what you think.

    • highlander

      Seriously, Dave…the only difference between you and Charlie Sheen is that he’s a rich a-hole.

    • Allison

      Actually, if he really didn’t care, he wouldn’t be running around telling people how much he doesn’t care. He would just shut up and live with his goddesses.

      • titaniumtestes

        Ha Ha Ha!!! Nice try B—!! Allison wishes she was a Charlie Goddess!!!

      • K

        So true. This Charlie Sheen Warlock Tour, or whatever EW has called it, feels like a very defensive maneuver. The man clearly DOES care what people think. Basically, dude is frontin’.

      • portlandia

        Right!

    • titaniumtestes

      I agree!!! Charlie just lives his life!

      • Everyday American

        I find it funny that people think it would be better if he were doped up on corporate made designer drugs. These people will lap up anything the media tells them to believe to sell more PRODUCT!!!

        I don’t doubt one bit that Ambien might have caused his hotel breakdown. Look up the so-called “side effects”. Just because this designer drug is whipped up in a corporate factory does not mean that it is in any way safe (for both the user and those he comes into contact with).

        The idea he’d be better off pumped full of designer drugs is flawed at best, and potentially more disastrous than present.

    • The Sitter

      @Dave: “He doesn’t give a Damn what you think”
      He also doesn’t give a Damn about his kids.

  • Rob

    Love Charlie in 2 & 1/2 men but he is a rambling crazy fool. Hope he gets better asap.

  • Nicole

    I really just feel terrible for his children.

    • dee dee1

      I feel bad for his children too. There is something so wrong with him and I feel bad that such a talented man is doing this to himself. I just hope he gets some help. This is a call for help.

    • matt

      Yeah that’s really the only thing I have any interest in, is what about his poor children.

      • tobias

        Are you kidding? Poor children? Those kids will be set for life. Private schools, always have a home, nice cars, and all the groupies who want to sleep with a famous person (when the time comes of course). I only wish my kids future was so comfortable. Parents aren’t the only role models a kid has. The nannies are probably the role models for those children.

      • Toni

        The nannies might have to be, because I’d take bets that he doesn’t live to be 50. I think the kids would gladly trade pornstar nannies for a dad who’s still alive to see them graduate from elementary school.

      • Juneau

        @tobias – you really think he’s going to have any money left in 10 years? I don’t. Unless he dies before he can spend it all on drugs and hookers.

      • lll

        Tobias, those kids aren’t going to be set for life when their father dies dead broke because he blew all his millions on coke and porn stars.

      • Aly

        Tobias your kid probably wants your time and affection more so than your money, and if not, you’ve failed them somehow.

    • Joanie

      Hopefully the mothers of his children are suing for sole custody.

    • Hendrik

      Ah, screw his children. Let him have his fun, he earned it. The guy’s an unadulterated hero

  • T

    At this point . I don’t think any one will care anymore .
    In 2 weeks the vultures from the press will be on to some one else . Its the world we live in . He’s 45 yrs if he wants to kill himself either w a heart attack or from god knows what let him . He’s AN ADULT .

  • Jen

    I’m sorry, but where is Child Protective Services? This is RIDICULOUS. It’s not even about him anymore. Screw him. Those poor precious babies are surrounded by drugs, sex, and strangers. Heartbreaking. I don’t care what happens to him, but someone please get those kids to a stable environment.

    • jewel

      I agree, and also wonder where the h*ll is the mother of those babies, I’d let that happen to my children ONLY OVER MY DEAD BODY.

      • Kelly

        Brooke tried to get the kids today. Brought the cops with her – who said that it was Charlie’s turn for custody.

        Sadly, she has to work within the court system unless someone calls CPS with clear & present danger to the kids. No one has…

      • ren

        Their mother needed time to sober up.

    • r silva

      CHARLIE SHEEN MY # 1 FAN. YOU WILL LIVE & MOVE FROM ALL WHO PUTS YOU UNDER.

    • Jason

      were you calling for MJ’s kids to be taken away? probably not and he was an addict. Charlie likes to party so what his kids are subjected to that partying… people should live their own lives and let Charlie live his. All these bleeding hearts are pathetic. #winning

      • sfday

        Oh Charlie…

      • Toni

        Actually, say what you will about Jacko, but if he was an addict, he hid it much better than Sheen. If only people like Jason hid their ignorance that well…

      • Jen

        MJ didn’t have a revolving door of porn stars watching his children in his home. There is a huge difference here. If you go on national television and flaunt your sickness in front of the world, along with your ho bag girlfriends (who are HOLDING the children and claiming to be their caregivers), then yes I think that’s grounds to lose those children. You know those people aren’t sitting around every night playing board games. They’re together because they have drugs and alcohol in common. Nothing more.

      • Jen

        By the way Jason, when you have children, it’s not “your life” anymore. You sound like you’re 15 years old.

      • Kate

        That is a horrible analogy. Jackson may have been addicted to pain medication latter on in his life, which i understand he still should have gotten help for, but other than that he seemed like a good father who was there for his children. He didn’t bring whores into his house and have them take care of his kids.

    • Andy

      Seriously, do you rely think he spends time with his kids. He is a narcissist, and a manic addict on the dry.

    • Brett

      He hasn’t done anything to or in front of the kids. That’s the main thing in his favor at this point.

      • Gary

        Actually, you are wrong. His 2 twins were taken away from him tonight(3/1/11) by the police. His current,soon-to-be divorced wife had a judge intervene on the babies behalf. He told Brooke tonight that he would cut off the babies heads and mail them to her in a box.
        Sheen is seriously mentally ill. Anyone who believes he is sober is stupid. Anyone can go online and write up a fake drug analysis saying they are drug-free.
        If you look at his face-all sunken and sallow- and the bad teeth you can see that he is a meth-head as well as a crack-head. He will be gone one day soon. I’m sure he is enjoying every minute of the drama he is creating. I’m sure he is scared to death that everyone will find out he has no talent. But we’ve all known that for years. I hope he has saved some money for his future and not spent it all on drugs and whores.It’s doubtful that he will ever work again.

      • Sheli

        How do you know?

      • Jen

        Brett, you’re very naive. Every adult child of a parent like this has horrible memories of seeing the parent do things in their presence. There isn’t one adult child of an alcoholic who hasn’t seen their addict parent passed out cold, usually several nights a week. I doubt the three of them are sober or in their right mind most of the day. The girl on the left in the interview looked like she was strung out right there. The weird glances, unable to control eye contact, the zombie like comments about Sheen. Again, you are all very naive or perhaps have never known an addict if you think those kids are being cared for as they should be by that parent.

  • Danielle

    I don’t understand why media outlets like ABC give Charlie Sheen a public platform to, basically, show the world he’s nuts. Or why EW.com still continues to cover his obvious meltdown from reality. There is a word for this behavior: enabling.

    • Cris

      And there’s a word for why they’re “enabling”: Money. People are interested, even if it’s in a “train wreck” kind of way.
      I always love how people blame the media for things like this. Blame yourself. Stop watching 20/20 and giving them ratings. Stop clicking on Charlie Sheen stories on EW.com and giving them hits, and then commenting on them. That’s how it stops. When the public truly shows they’re tired of it and stop watching and clicking.
      And for the record, I am in no way excluding myself from that comment. It’s absolutely fascinating to watch a guy so narcissistic and out-of-touch go into a nosedive.

      • chillydogs

        Doesn’t it look like CBS must have known this about him all along? But they let him keep working just to make money off of him. Instead they should have demanded he get treatment or something. It doesn’t seem like they were interested in helping him.

      • shurly

        Agree, well said Cris !

  • alice

    Glad to see you have come to your senses Tucker. However, as horrifying and depressing as this interview was it is still worth mentioning that this scumbag has been beating women for over 25 years. he is horrible.

    • Ray

      THIS. He also SHOT Kelly Preston. He’s a moron.

  • penguinpop

    Sheen is a self aggrandizing narcissist. If I had to spend 5 minutes with him I would need the same therapy a navy seal needs after a bad tour of duty. He is truly one of the most selfish dirtbags on the planet. He must have an empty hole in his soul the size of the Grand Canyon that he’s trying to fill with whores and drugs. He’s too immature and selfish to find satisfaction with his children or true relationships (he apparently rarely sees the girls he had w/ Richards “I don’t see them often enough to have influence”. The poor twins are in a horrible position – a crackhead mom and a crackhead dad.
    I found it interesting he has verbal diarrhea but can’t say what makes him a good dad (how about nothing) and won’t admit to anything. I was surprised he didn’t shout: “I didn’t shoot Kelly Preston, she shot herself! She stole that gun – from a buffet”
    The two nasty girls – clue in on body language and take acting classes. Nodding your head almost vigorously yes while saying “NO” about using drugs is really telling. Also, she really needs a better color tx and a deep condiioning tx asap. they all look really healthy

  • T

    HERO ??? WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT . If he’s your hero u better rethink your life . Hero’s are not drug addicts who beat woman . At least not to me .

    • Steve

      And no one watches TV to see what you think.

      • John

        And your point is?

      • Matt

        Shut up, Steve. You’re an a-hole

      • Donte

        Very true! Makes a change to see sooemne spell it out like that. :)

  • kornasjo

    I actually felt sorry for Charlie. You could see his brain is damaged from all the abuse. Nothing he said was sane!

    • Lex

      I considered this, but you know what, he’s an adult and he knew what he was doing so whatever has happened to his brain is his fault. Plus he has kids so he should have taken these decisions even more seriously.

    • ElMasRifon

      Es que el RiFA mas que nadie. Tu sabes.

  • Amazing

    7 gram rock at a time? The quickest I ever went through three grams was an hour and I couldn’t feel my entire body and could literally see my heart beating out of my chest. That dude is awesome!

    • Zack

      the cat talked… it was weird.

    • Brit

      I see his interview has brought all all the crazies on here.

    • eightballs

      holy cr^p that’s like a quarter oz at a time – - – that’ll kill ya, dude

    • Ann

      I think he did the 7 gram rock right before the interview.

    • Huh

      And that kind of reaction to the coke is probably why he is claiming to having taken Ambien during his freakout at the Plaza Hotel–he was trying to “smooth out” the effect of the coke. Guess he couldn’t find any Seroquel or black tar heroin to snort.

  • pamb456

    Why is no one mentioning his children? His infant children are living in the same house with this man, a porn star and a marijuana bikini model. Why hasn’t Brooke filed an immediate injunction for her children? If she is unfit because of her mental ability/drug addiction, where are her parents, or Martin Sheen? I cannot imagine anything scarier than charlie Sheen and these bimbos looking after my infant children.

    • Amazing

      Whats wrong with being a porn star? At least she’s employed.

      • Huh

        This sounds so much like “Sons of Anarchy”. Before the character “Opie” married his porn star; he had her watching the kids he had by his murdered wife.
        Charlie is so derivative…

    • confab

      I wouldn’t want my kids around someone judgemental like you. You think you’re better than a porn star, huh?

      • alice

        yes, I do.

      • maryann

        What has the world come to that someone would NOT find it reprehensible that a porn star would be around those children the woman gets paid to have sex with other men, nevermind the diseases and the ammorality of it, she is a high priced hooker So no, I wouldn’t have her near kids

      • summer

        Brooke is a dope fiend – so basically the kids are screwed either way.

      • Uh yeah

        Yes, yes I am.

    • Mike

      The moms probably haven’t filed restraining orders because they are thinking he’ll be gone soon and they want to be sure the kids are in the will

    • Sherri

      Well, she did, today actually and she was told NO, it was Charlie’s day with his children. But from what I am hearing, the police, at 12:01 am (which would be the NEXT day) did remove them from the house. Don’t know how true it is…just something I heard very recently.

      • Dave

        IT’S NOT 12:01am HERE YET YOU MORON!

    • Mary Jane

      I was with you til you mentioned the part about being a marijuana bikini model. Who gives a crap? Marijuana never has and never will hurt and destroy people’s lives the way that cocaine and crack do. Don’t lump the two together. That would be like saying actors who have appeared in cigarette ads are too dangerous to let near our children. Makes no sense.

    • B

      Porn star? That’s probably the least of the problems in that household.

    • tobias

      I guarantee that if anyone looks hard enough they will find a prostitute in their family tree. It is the worlds oldest profession. Some of our finest cities were built on a foundation of whores. If it werent for religious zealots, and disease I imagine it would still be a profession. Who was Mary Magdalene?

      • AltDave

        Mary Magdeline was NOT a prostitute! Do your homework, tobias.

      • lll

        A wealthy patron of Jesus.

        The prostitution thing isn’t actually in the text anywhere. That interpretation was invented by the misogynist St. Augustine a few hundred years later.
