He just can’t leave well enough alone.
I swore off writing about Charlie Sheen long ago, but you can’t ignore a fire that burns at the edge of your consciousness. Sheen was one of the few celebrities that was gifted enough to justify ignoring his many public failings (Robert Downey Jr. is another) but he has fallen so far so fast that I find myself endlessly fascinated by him.
His latest debacle?
He called in to TMZ Live on Thursday and started in on Two and a Half Men, saying, “I’m tired of lying. I’m tired of pretending the show doesn’t suck. I’m tired of pretending Ashton doesn’t suck. I’m tired of pretending like, they’re not completely adrift. Because when you take away the anchor of your show, you’re adrift. … These guys are like approaching salvage vessel, you know?”
Of course, he took aim at his replacement, Ashton Kutcher, albeit indirectly. “I just feel bad for him. He’s saddled with such bad writing.”
He also admitted he still watches the show that gave so much to him; quite a shock, right? “When the show was good, it was great. But now, there’s just nothing about it that’s interesting. I forget that it’s on the air. It’s kind of leaving your child behind with somebody and them not really taking very good care of it.”
Like he could ever help himself.

I suppose Sheen just couldn’t stand Whitney Houston hogging the spotlight by dying.
Sorry, Charlie, but even with Tiger Blood pumping through your veins, you can’t compete with death.

I don’t see where Charlie Sheen is all that funny, to be honest. I have often wondered if Martin Sheen were not his father, if he’d have been in show business at all. I also sometimes wonder if Martin Sheen wouldn’t like to find a rock to crawl under, to hide from the embarrassment and shame that his son brings to their family name. Just my opinion on the subject.
Your opinion is more than valid, my friend.
I used to be a fan of his. Now I just wish he’d STFU. Seriously…
He’s burned A LOT of bridges, that’s for sure!
You are so right: He just can’t stand it.
First they kicked him off his show.
Second, a dead woman’s getting all the attention. (Hey, Charlie’s here and alive – hey, it’s The Great Charlie Sheen, OK? You may all cheer and adore now…ignore those “little distractions”)
Seriously, Charlie?
That’s how I feel… Seriously, Charlie?
So true – he is an attention magnet. I haven’t liked him since he was type-casted and starred in Major League. Lol.
Major League was where his movie career peaked…
Absolutely! Wild Thing. He will never be that again. He should have stuck with that nickname instead of going into his crazy tiger blood twitter phase. Lol.
Very true…
*sigh* Just… *sigh*
Also well said!
Who cares…….I could have seen his father in Boulder tonight and passed.
Well said, Susie!

Didn’t he play in that parody of Top Gun? I thought that was brilliant!!!! I feel bad for his brotherEmilio Estevez. Still my hero and probably forever will be because of Young Guns. And speaking of which, didn’t Charlie Sheen also play in Young Guns II???
I heard this somewhere…”If Hollywood gives you a break and it gives you stardom, then it can take it away. If you earn it, it can’t take it away.” I don’t think Mister Sheen has heard about the little thing called “grace”.
Sheen died in Young Guns 1, but #2 rocked!
Great spot-on observation about Mr. Sheen, Woman!
I’d almost forgotten about Mr. Sheen. How silly of me; who could forget a man who coined such immortal lines as “It’s all strafing runs in my underwear before my first cup of coffee”?
He is unforgettable, isn’t he? For all the wrong reasons!
He’s right though, the show sucks, Ashton sucks, it all sucks!
Unfortunately, that’s very true!
>“When the show was good, it was great. But now, there’s just nothing about it that’s interesting. I forget that it’s on the air. It’s kind of leaving your child behind with somebody and them not really taking very good care of it.”
- Sour grapes.
Dude, get your head out from where the sun don’t shine and make some great wine, not vinegar with the bunches you’ve got.
Still, I feel sad for Charlie. And his dad. And everyone else directly affected by his actions. And people like him. No one deliberately wants the worst for themselves. Those words and actions stem from a very sad place within.

Sheen just refuses to step back and see what his actions have wrought.
Sheen’s crazy has gotten boring. He’s pretty much lost his last element of interest. Now he just sounds pathetic.
Very true, Aaron!
I admittedly loved him on 2 & a half men – really (maybe I’m easily amused?)….but now he’s just being an attention whore
He sure is!
