I'm watching this interview right now and I'm cracking up...by myself.

The dude is so crazy that I can't help but laugh. He obviously needs help, but the things that he's saying are just crazy. He really just doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks or says about him.

Yes, he's leading a destructive life and it's not something that kids should be around, but it's making me laugh how crazy his statements are.

Plus, it's kind of refreshing to see someone come out and just say what's going on in Hollywood. Everyone knows that there are many other actors that are doing things similar (but maybe not as crazy) as Sheen, but they just shove everything under the rug.

There's still another 20 minutes left, so plenty of time for more memorable quotes from this dude..

[drewprops]

I've ordered some Charlie Sheen brand Tiger Blood so that I can become a Warlock, because I want to be a guy who signs checks on the front, not the back.

The guy has lost his mind and seems to be a few sandwiches short of a picnic. I don't think it'll end well for him.

Then again, he just might be trying to out-do Joaquin Phoenix in the "Popular Actor Flips His Wig, But It Was All a Big, Elaborate Joke That Nobody Finds Funny and Now You're Kinda Thought of as an Unemployable Asshole" sweepstakes.

[drewprops]

It's sad that we find him so astonishingly entertaining in his current state.

The man is on the road to death.

I hope that he escapes this period of his life, but he's an addict and he has to want to stay clean, to stay clean.... and I don't think he wants it.

I wonder what other addicts feel when they watch Sheen coming apart at the seams.

[psmith2.0]

It's tough for me to feel bad. He has (had?) the world by the balls, making an insane salary for starring in one of the most unfunny (yet inexplicably popular) sitcoms ever.

I feel bad for the dozens of people who found themselves suddenly out of a job (working on said unfunny sitcom) because of his nonsense.

Sheen was making, what, $2M an episode? That buys a lot of crack and hookers...he'll be fine. The poor lighting or sound guys better hope they add another CSI or NCIS franchise to the fall lineup...

[709]

Whatever, if I had his cash I'd be doing the same thing - only with better looking women.

2+1/2 is the worst piece of shit ever made, so I'm personally thrilled to see it forever tainted by this delusional piece of trash.

I heard today that 2.5 Men will continue, with John Stamos instead of Charlie Sheen? I think. I just caught a snippet flipping through radio stations.

[psmith2.0]

Sounds perfect. He'll deliver the comic goods, honed to a fine edge from those years on "Full House".

[709]

Hell yes. A threesome with the Olsen Twins would just wrap up everything perfectly.

[Maciej]

I loved his interview on Howard Stern this morning. And as usual I think the truth is somewhere in between what he's saying and where the network / popular opinion is on this thing.

[Yontsey]

I dunno, I like Two and a Half Men. Apparently I'm in the minority.

[kieran]

Stamos will not replace Charlie Sheen on his show.

No, you're in the majority, obviously.


I still like you though. Everyone has their dirty pleasures. Even if you dabble in being a part of the great unwashed illiterate masses.

I just love the Wikipedia summary of his (most) recent troubles:

Originally Posted by Wikipedia On January 27, 2011, Sheen was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center by paramedics. Sheen's representative said the actor was suffering from "severe abdominal pains". On January 28, Sheen began undergoing a substance rehabilitation program in his home and CBS announced that Two and a Half Men would go into hiatus. The network subsequently announced that the season then underway and due to film its last four episodes was canceled after Sheen made offensive comments about the creator and lead writer of Two and a Half Men, Chuck Lorre, on the February 24 edition of a radio broadcast hosted by Alex Jones. On February 28, 2011, Sheen publicly demanded a 50 percent raise for the show "Two and a Half Men" on a national television interview in his home.

Like, wait. You put the show on hiatus and get four episodes cancelled and piss off the creator and then you...ask for a raise? I had to re-read that to make sure I got the timeline right. Rather baffling.

Also, Wikipedia? I know you want to be proper, but "pornographic actress" actually sounds way worse than porn star.

[709]

I know, right? I thought the term "adult film star" was proper nowadays.

God. It all reminds me of the whole "Black" thing. First, "Black" was right, then bad, then "Black American" was right, then bad, then "African American" stuck around for a long time, now "Black" is right again. Jesus Fucking Christ.

I'd like them to go from "adult film stars" to "cock gobblers" if even for a little time, but I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon.

[scratt]

I've partied with Charlie Sheen, back in the day.

He was always a blast. A serious night out! Even more so than the likes of the Stone Roses, who were pretty much always the yard stick to judge things by in my "high society" circles.

But based on then and now... I am far more concerned about his behaviour now than I ever was in the past.

[Kickaha]

Holy shit, he's batfuck *sane*...

[joveblue]

Oh god I hope this gets broadcast unedited in Australia! There's a 5 min clip on YouTube but that's all I've been able to find so far. ABC website doesn't work outside US...

[drewprops]

A glaring hole was left in our American culture when our finest monologuist, Spalding Gray, stepped off the Staten Island Ferry into the waters of the East River. Can you imagine the ticket sales, were Sheen to walk the boards pouring out his special brand of Martian poetry to the masses?


...

[Moogs]

Good God, man... he has completely lost it.

I mean he's like a 15 year old that got caught doing something bad for the 10th time and gets hauled in front of some authority figure and instead of admitting stuff he's "yah, whatever... I don't know man... I said I'm sorry."

But with those two chics living in his house along with the little kids, it's like a cartoon. I think my favorite partial quote is "learn from my wisdom".

TMZ has compiled lots of Chuckles...

You might want to start with this 19 min audio clip of Charlie phoning in to a radio talk show to rant about Vatican Assassins and F-18s. (Source page)

More recently, this 42 min of video at Charlie's place.

[psmith2.0]

Keith Richards called Charlie to tell him to lay off the stuff.

Transcription:

KEITH: "Hey, man. Awanan yu gots a monki *cough*? Man, dat cat fhhble *cough* know what? I eman its all rock and ajamab and nobdy gets ou alivaseh, mate."

CHARLIE: "My brain is the oracle by which CBS will see the cornhole coming. The plane I'm existing on is like a dragon making love to thunder, and only I can see that. It's what makes me who I am, on this ghost train through the canyons of my wisdom."

KEITHER: "Alright, baby. [laughs, coughs, loses part of a lung]. Whaiee yess...taeke care *cough*wheez*"

A meeting of the minds, as it were.

Richards declined comment, only saying that he'd never even take an aspirin again and "that cat is fucked up...I should know."

[tomoe]

The shitbag he is, Charlie Sheen has won funny jackass points in my book.

People to Charlie, "Charlie, you're all fucked up and crazy. Go to rehab. Lay low for awhile."

Charlie to people, "You people don't know what the hell fucked up and crazy IS! You wanna see fucked up and crazy? Watch this."

[psmith2.0]

My only request, if/when he's found dead in some hotel or his house, is that everyone doesn't stand around wringing their hands and posting stupid shit on Facebook like "we just didn't see the signs...crying now" or "how could this happen...RIP, Charlie". I don't wanna hear it, and I don't want to see these idiot hosts on E!, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, etc. acting all morose and "stunned", and treating it like some tragic, unexpected event that nobody was prepared for (like Dakota Fanning getting hit by a bus or something). Cool it with any after-the-fact hand-wringing, tear-jerking and "we're in shock, and we regret we weren't able to see this coming" nonsense. Let's not make it Heath Ledger: Part 2 or Corey Haim...Who Knew?, okay?



Deal?

Because if there's ever been a bigger "I can see how this is probably gonna turn out" situation, I couldn't tell you what it is. Let's not get brainless and lame about it, on top of everything else.

[Bryson]

Exactly: he's made his choice - he wants to burn bright and fast. That's his decision to make.

[bassplayinMacFiend]

He still did pass a drug test at the beginning of this week though. He did it before his first interview to prove they were getting unadulterated Charlie Sheen, not some stepped on, coked out husk of an actor. Or something.

[psmith2.0]

That's what I've heard, that he's supposedly passed some tests. That's nice, but then it just means he's a complete whackjob when stone-cold sober. Either way, he's not helping his future employment chances by running his mouth and saying the things he's saying.

What did he say last week? Something like "I'll go make movies with superstars instead of working with idiots"?

Two things...

a) the people on his silly TV show probably don't think they're idiots (but they took the insult just the same), and

b) when, exactly, has he ever been a major presence on the big screen? Isn't that kind of why he's on a lame TV sitcom to begin with? Producers and studios aren't going to hinge a $200 million motion picture on his silly ass, even as a co-star or fifth-level supporting player.

When you're doing infomercials for the Turbo Ab-Jazzer in two years, don't go crying to Spielberg and Nolan. You kinda had it made...you could've done the silly TV show (for $2M an episode), still made movies on your off time, still partied with coke and hookers, etc. You just had to keep it all on the down-low, under control, and maybe keep your mouth shut a little more? Accept your good fortune and privileged lifestyle with a skootch of grace and humility.

Idiot.

[Robo]

Also, who's going to hire him, considering how he's treating his current showrunners? Maybe they are idiots, I don't know, but one thing everybody knows is that someone who very publically complained about their last boss will probably publically complain about their next boss, and that just doesn't fly in an industry as image-conscious as Hollywood. Even if your current showrunners are idiots and the reason nobody appreciates your comedic genius, you wait until years have gone by and you've already cemented your status with a new gig before you joke about how bad they were (and it helps to actually be funny when you do). Or at least, y'know, have a new gig lined up.

It's like editing. No editor is going to pick up an author who's all "LOL, my last editors were idiots...they completely ruined my masterpieces...they're the reason nobody appreciates my gift." If you really do feel that way, keep it to yourself, at least until you're a renowned bestseller and people will believe that your previous editors actually were idiots who ruined your masterpieces.

[psmith2.0]

No, I don't want it to happen.

I actually used a bad example, as I keep forgetting she's not that little girl from "War of the Worlds" or "Man on Fire" anymore. She's all growed up now...

Change "Dakota Fanning" to "some other adorable little actress that nobody wants to see anything bad happen to" (I don't know any by name).
