| Charlie Sheen & "The Goddesses" and Ex Wife Brooke |
Charlie Sheen made a sudden live appearance on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight, carrying test results that declared him drug-free and proclaimed, “I’m super-bitchin’ [and] I don’t believe myself to be an addict.” Morgan called Sheen “the Che Guevara of television” and “one of life’s great characters.”
Sheen said that CBS president Les Moonves came to his house and told him, “‘Try to pull it back a little bit,’ and I said, ‘No problem, boss.’” The actor said he was thereafter surprised when production was shut down with what he said were eight more shows to complete the season.
“I would urge Les or Chuck [Lorre] to call in,” said Sheen during the live broadcast. Alas, they did not.
When Morgan asked him whether he felt any responsibility as a role model when he’s the star of Two and a Half Men, “the number one family comedy,” Sheen snickered that the content of any given episode of Men is “juvenile or gross,” containing a quantity of lewd jokes that “eclipses stuff I do on my most epic nights.”

Sheen said if the rumors are true that CBS is courting John Stamos to replace him on Men, “you guys [at CBS] deserve everything that happens later,” implying low ratings, and adding he didn’t forgive Stamos for ridiculing him on Howard Stern’s radio show.
Sheen said Mel Gibson had called with comforting words — “He’s a stone cold dude,” Sheen said of Gibson. “Sean Penn was over [at my house] the other night and we had a few laughs,” he added.
The irony of appearing on CNN, to be followed by an Anderson Cooper 360 show devoted to Libya and the latest statements by Muammar Gaddafi, was not lost on Sheen. “For me to be the biggest headline while this is going on,” he said, “that’s crazy.”
It was, it must be admitted, an impressive performance — on the wacko terms that Sheen has redefined for himself as decent public behavior. He was quick and frequently funny. Sheen continued to heap scorn on those who would armchair diagnose his condition and urge him into rehab or an organization such as Alcoholics Anonymous. Sheen said he found the rhetoric of addiction is “vintage balderdash” and that to join AA, “you gotta sit in a room and be all lame. I’m a winner and they look like losers.”
Morgan told Sheen that he believed Sheen was “entitled to behave however you want” provided it wasn’t illegal.
“I don’t think you sound that crazy at all,” said Morgan. And indeed, Sheen came across as an intelligent, complicated man — jumpy and a yammerer, to be sure, compulsively rephrasing nearly every sentence he uttered, but by no means out of control or incoherent.
What do you think of Sheen’s appearance on Morgan’s show?
winning duh.

ReplyDeletehahha bi-winning. Charlie's Howard stern interview was pretty insane as well. i've been reading all his quotes on www.charliesheensays.com , some of things he's said are just soo insane
ReplyDeleteI lost all faith for Piers Moron after his coming out in DEFENCE for Sheen, claiming what he does in his private life is his choice. I knew the cynical reasons for this- he wanted to land him on his show to desperately stop the slide in ratings and regain the trust of his employers. But then, he's not alone- none seems to be particularly bothered that a mentally ill man is being facilitated in airing his delusions for posterity. But then none seemed in any way concerned when he shot a woman, Kelly Preston, in the arm. Six years later he was involved in beating up girlfriend Brittany Ashland to which he plead no contest to a misdemeanour charge of battery with "serious bodily injury." His latest wife Brooke Mueller was forced to seek medical care after the latest incident. What about that time recently when a terrified woman was forced to call 911 as she hid in the toilet whilst a maddened Sheen, naked, trashed his hotel room to which no charges were pressed? Who cares that he has numerous young children who need to be looked after? I think the ones cheering his mania on are hypocritically choosing to ignore those who have needed protection to demand care for the perpetrator.
ReplyDeleteIts a lot of air time over a something so inconsequential. Sheen is a product of the US-Hollywood driven society. Anyone who makes $1.8m per episode of a television SHOW is not prone to the everyday boundaries and hardships that keep most people in touch with the harsh nature of reality. It's not an insult to Sheen, its an observation about Hollywood and the US. The unfortunate thing is that Sheen will never be able to comprehend what's real and what's not because his own personal experience has always been a "God on Earth" life. After all when you deal with levels of money that allow you to make a phone call and have a helicopter land in your backyard to deliver you anywhere you like at anytime....and you've never known anything different..what do you expect someone to act like? If enough people pay you and treat you like your special, eventually you will believe it with all your being.
ReplyDeleteHow old is that dude, 50?
