Charlie Sheen’s rep is using celebrity mouthpiece People Magazine to thank everyone for their “support” as he tries to hold on to his client’s career as the top paid star on television now that everyone knows that he smokes crack and hires porn star hookers on his off time. The statement to People is in contrast to what Charlie told E! in a typically dismissive text message in which he pulled the ‘ol celebrity “there’s a war on, why are you paying attention to me” argument. First off, Charlie’s texts to E!:
“All crap,” he told us via text.
“Believe nothing. I will never speak about any of this as long as I’m alive. You’re all gonna have to keep towing the same redundant line, guessing wrong.”
He’s obviously following the news, because Sheen suggested the focus on his situation was overblown.
“BTW, two wars are in an endless state of sorrow. Egypt about burned to the ground, and all you people care about is my bullsh-t….?”
Sheen called it “pathetic” that the media cared about his personal life and how he chooses to spend it.
“Shame shame shame,” he said.
We wished the troubled actor well and told him people really do just want to see him get healthy and happy and return to work.
“Absolutely I see that,” he said. “For that I am grateful.”

According to Charlie, we should be ashamed that we’re listening to the 22 year-old porn star he paid $30,000 to f*ck him and watch while he smoked cocaine all night and critiqued porn. There’s photographic evidence the dude was with these women, he looked like death in the picture, and he was rushed to the hospital shortly afterwards with a “hernia.” This is his M.O, though, deny and act like it’s our problem for paying attention.
Charlie’s rep realizes that he’s alienating his fan base and all of the people whose jobs depend on him showing up for his easy, insanely high paid job. He issued a statement thanking everyone and suggesting Charlie is going to take a hiatus and put his “sword down,” “like Errol Flynn,” although I bet that hiatus will last all of three weeks.
“I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people,” the actor, 45, says in a statement released by his rep Wednesday.
“I want to say, ‘Thank-you’ to my fellow cast members, the crew of Two and a Half Men, and everyone at CBS and Warner Bros … for their concern and support.” He singled out his bosses, CBS chief Les Moonves and Bruce Rosenblum, president of Warner Bros. Television Group.
“Like Errol Flynn, who had to put down his sword on occasion, I just want to say, ‘Thank-you,’ ” says Sheen. “And to my fans, your good wishes have touched me very much.”

It’s too bad that Rosenthal’s efforts are being undermined by Charlie and his bitchy text messages. Also, I’m not as up on old Hollywood as I should be so I checked Errol Flynn’s wiki page and he was a partier like Charlie Sheen, was married three times and was accused of statutory rape by two different women. Charlie at least likes them a smidgen on the other side of 18. US Weekly has an overview of the porn stars that were over at Charlie’s house the night in question and two of them were 19 – Gigi Rivera and Melanie Rios, while the one who is going to media, Kacey Jordan, claims to be 22. His latest madam starred in the “Barely Legal” porn movies and told Radar Online that Charlie would regularly request women from that series. They’re “legal,” although prostitution isn’t outside of the state of Nevada.

well he has a point: why SHOULD we be paying attn to what is essentially his own business/garbage – when there’s a billion more important things going on in the world (like drinking my morning coffee).
Now he’s comparing himself to Errol Flynn? Spare me. Yes, Flynn was most definitely a wild man and trouble maker, but he also had something that Sheen will never have-charisma.
I noticed this before. He has a thing for very, very young girls.
Charlie can go f–k himself senial. Oh sh-t he probably did that already. Crap – he needs the help.
CB: you should brush up on your old hollywood because part of it was really scandalous.
Errol Flynn was a binger, a womanzier who consistently chased very underage women and an all round nasty man. Of course Charlie would compare himself to him… of course.
Edited to add: looked at the picture and I’m pretty sure Charlie is into erotic asphyxiation. This man is trying to die.
I think it’s apt that Charlie Sheen compares himself to dead people- he looks like one in that picture of him sitting in the “porn family” house! I also find it hilarious that his good friends and neighbors- who called 911 and picked him up from the hospital- are the Maloofs from Real Housewives! I knew that couple were closet trailertrash!
Charlie Sheen chose to have a career in the public eye, ergo the media and his fan base is interested in what’s going on in his life. His appalling behaviour and lack of consideration towards his family and co-workers has outraged his fan base, therefore they have every right to comment and opine on his downward spiral. His arrogant responses only show that the Charlie Sheens of the world can’t be rehabilitated to normalcy, and he’ll continue with his booze/coke/hooker binges until he kills himself.
To be fair from all the stories Erroll Flynn was the Charlie Sheen of his day. Sheen grew up around old hollywood friends of his father like Brando who got away with things that would make people’s hair stand on end if we knew them. I am not condoning his behavoir at all though.
I never realized how ugly Charlie Sheen was until I looked at these pictures closely. He is not a good looking man.
As Cher (not the singer) put it in Clueless: “He’s like a Monet. From far away he looks pretty good but up close he’s just a big old mess.”
Charlie Sheen doesn’t respect himself…no big surprise that he doesn’t respect anyone else, either.
He’s never going to change, he’s just getting worse.
Also, Errol Flynn died after a week-long bender at 50. Sad.
Hmmmm, maybe those comparisons to Errol Flynn make some sense after all…time will tell.
You’re right Charlie, I do have better things to do. And you’re FUGLY!
Well, by that logic, no one should watch his show because we should be all watching the news about the wars 24/7. That might put a dent in his crack cash flow though.
The crew, network, everyone affected by his garbage should sue the crap out of him.
I watched Wall Street for the first time since 1986 yesterday. I’d forgotten how good it was! Michael Douglas was amazing!
Anyway back to the matter at hand; he’s an adult, he’s can afford wads of cash for these “ladeez” to party with/shag him and he’s over-indulging in all kinds of illicit substances. I bet there’s millions of men his age the world over who would swap places with him in a heartbeat. He is a total hedonist. He may be an asshole but he’s entitled to live his life how he sees fit.
when you choose the profession that he is in and one that HIS FAMILY has BEEN in since he was BORN (HELLO???) you automatically are thrust (charlie LOVES that word)into the public eye and EVERYTHING you do will be written about (sometimes correctly, sometimes not) and will be scrutinized and dissected over and over again. Charlie should BE AWARE of this. actually a spin off about Charlie and his ‘angels’ would be kinda fun, until Charlie’s memorial service that is.
I think there is some validity in his statement about being concerned about his crap.
It is definitely crap.
It is entertaining, however, and sometimes a needed respite from real news.
@Roma: How can you tell re the autoerotic asphyxiation? I looked but couldn’t tell. Maybe I need better glasses!
And Charlie was good looking in the day, but the past few years his face changed. His jaw looks like it collapsed and I could never figure it out, but now I hear about how he lost his teeth, that’s it.
of course we are concerned with his crap because he is in the public eye, just because people talk about it, does not mean they are not concerned abou other important things in the world. The cocaine has taken over his ability to comprehend anything. He is just a disrespectfull and pathetic idiot. A ticking time bomb i must say. I am told most men in the world will be glad to live his life. All the partying, drugs and money and a different stripper every night. Hmmmmnn
@bluhar: I swore that back in the Heidi Fleiss days there were rumours that he liked to get choked. And recently I thought I’ve noticed marks on his neck especially in that photo.
So basically, it’s all pure speculation.
What anyone does in the privacy of their own home, is their business alone.
As long as it doesn’t negatively affect anyone else.
Most men, would kill to live his life.
As they are pretty much all pigs anyway.
He’s right. I can only pay attention to one piece of information, so I’m a shameful human being for paying attention to his cracked out hooker escapes instead of Egypt or my school work. *eyeroll*
Sorry Charlie, your attempt at deflection fails. You’re the pathetic one, not me. My life is in pretty good shape.
wheres whats her face to tell us about old hollywood and whos boobs got bigger 40 years ago and ofcourse it was like in 1972 when so and so hooked up and it WAS SO SCANDALOUS.
I cosign with Kitsie @7. Better worded than I could have.
Seeing this just makes me realize how tough it must be to be the PR-mouthpiece of someone like Sheen.
But at least he’s made it clear (in no uncertain terms) that he doesn’t believe he has a problem. I really think his family should go ahead & start making funeral arrangements. (Can you imagine what his insurance rates must be like?)
“his client’s career as the top paid star on television”
There was a statement that Simon Baker of The Mentalist got a salary bump that put his salary higher than Charlies.
Flynn died aged 50. Hear that Charlie?
And as for Egypt- I can hold two thoughts (Egypt, Charlie) in my mind at the same time! It’s a miracle!
I love that he’s so strung out and arrogant that this woman beater is letting the public know what he really thinks and it’s all as we suspected. It’s the best thing that could happen.
Charlie Sheen is so gross. Those porn stars/hookers look like they could be his daughters (age-wise).
He’s just a disgusting pig. Obviously, nothing is going to make him stop, so we’ll probably hear of him dying from a major heart-attack or liver failure in the future. (from the cocaine and alcohol use)
Charlie Sheen seems to be reliving the Bob Crane story:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298744/
As much as I think he is a douch, he’s got a point, plus he was nothing but polite on those textes.
i agree with him 100% that the media is pathetic,
OMG, I just saw the pics of his real teeth. Very, very scary!
@icantbelievethis – “OMG, I just saw the pics of his real teeth. Very, very scary!”
Personally, I’m amazed he even has any. Most of them have to be fake. I know meth is the drug hardest on teeth, but using others for such a long period has the same detrimental effects. x_X
