Last night, Charlie Sheen was officially fired from Two & a Half Men after several months of drug-and-insanity-fueled death spiral. CB and I were debating whether or not we should be covering every little aspect of Charlie’s insanity, and my feeling is that people are beginning to grow tired of Charlie’s stuff. Hopefully. Anyway, here are some of the basics of what’s gone done in the past 14 hours:
*Charlie went to the office building of Live Nation, where he claimed he was having a “top secret meeting” with his contacts. Deadline reports that Charlie might be negotiating a deal with the company to “go on tour”. The say Charlie is using Conan O’Brien’s playbook. After the meeting, Charlie and one of the goddesses got on the roof and Charlie drank “Tiger Blood” and branded a machete. Because… why not? He reportedly said “’Free at last… free at last” while he was up there.
*When Warner Bros fired Charlie, they sent an 11-page letter to his lawyer, accusing him of breaching his contract due to his drug use and failure to seek proper help.
*Charlie’s lawyers are now preparing to file a lawsuit against Warner Bros and the show’s creator Chuck Lorre, according to Radar. Sheen’s lawyer Marty Singer told Radar that he received a termination of contract letter shortly before 2pm yesterday. The letter stated that Sheen “engaged in dangerously self-destructive conduct and appears to be very ill.” The letter apparently explains the decision by Warner Bros. to fire Sheen by stating there is a clause in his contract stating a performer can be sacked if they commit ‘a felony offense involving moral turpitude’.
*Charlie’s lawyer Marty Singer says: “Warner Bros’ position is ridiculous. We will proceed with our claims against Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros. Nothing has changed in terms of that.’ Sheen is now expected to demand payment for the ninth season of the sitcom in a lawsuit which has yet to be filed. Singer says: ‘Last year, they told Sheen he could plead guilty to a felony and still do the show. Now they are just upset because they say he disparaged Chuck Lorre. We intend to file suit against Warner Bros Television, Chuck Lorre and everyone involved.’
*Charlie is in the market for an intern. He tweeted: “Do you have #TigerBlood? Are you all about #Winning? Can you #PlanBetter than anyone else? If so, we want you on #TeamSheen as our social media #TigerBloodIntern! This unique internship opportunity will allow a hard-working, self-motivated, creative, resourceful and social media savvy individual to work closely with Charlie Sheen in leveraging his social network.

You will learn how to promote and develop the social media network of Hollywood’s most trending celebrity. I’m looking to hire a #winning INTERN with #TigerBlood. Apply here.”
*This:
So, basically, everyone is just holding their breath and waiting for the crazy to either die down or just die.

I’m SO applying. Nice to see in a recession, he’s all about creating the jobs.
Oh, God. It’s getting really sad and scary now.
Yeah, just what this crazy needs, a machete. That’s like giving a toddler a loaded gun and I’m not even joking. And what in God’s name does he have in that bottle he’s drinking from? Ugh. I wish he’d just go away…I can’t believe anyone would actually pay in any way, shape, or form to see, hear, or be around him.
Man, if I’d have been standing under that balcony- I’d have been yelling, “JUMP, JUMP, JUMP!!!”. I’ve gone from rolling my eyes at this ass to actively wishing him a safe and speedy death.
I’m sick of it.
It also sickens me that he is getting so much attention.
That ‘goddess’ of his is unfortunate-looking, her attitude reminds me of Brittany Murphy’s husband, careless and indifferent about the issues the people close them are going through.
Several commenters on TV stated that “Charlie Watch” is already growing old. His cult following will thin-out faster than John Travolta’s hair and we’ll soon be done with him…Charlie.
At this point it just feels staged and “publicity focused”
Hopefully this will end soon, one way or another.
@ Malachais. Totally agree.
Sweet Jesus, what a freak.
This is not going to end well at all.
Sorry Charlie,
Not interested.
People are getting tired of his crazy act and will soon move on to any other celebrity meltdown. It just gets boring after a while. He needs to get his act together.
I wish Celebitchy and others would just stop covering him while hes like this.
i’m starting to feel like this is some kind of stunt. i mean it’s just too crazy
I look at these pictures/videos and can only think that this man is in God’s or the universe’s hands now. Good luck to him.
There’s got to be some kind of law against waving a machete wildly from the roof, no?
Mr. Sheen? Excuse me, Mr. Sheen? Your 5150 is ready. Please follow me.
he’s not really drinking it. His thumb is over the opening. I don’t think he’s as crazy as he wants people to believe. I think he’s terminally ill.
@Violet – I feel the same way.
We are either watching this man crumble before our eyes (and it feels at times like a bit voyeurism even though he is choosing to go so public with all of it) or we are being played to be gullible fools. All I know is that it is disconcerting to watch and I am really over it, like many of you.
In the midst of his ravings, he’s curiously fixated on making money.
On he goes about his show’s producers making money, owing him money, his book as a moneymaker, etc. Money is a constant theme.
Wonder if this kiddie porn devotee is in denial about his evil capitalist tendencies. So as a form of deflection, he raves on about saving trees by publishing his book on Kindle, his belief that the government conspired to takedown the Twin Trade Towers on 9/1/1, his “work” with Sean Penn in Haiti, etc.
when did he get the gold tooth?
Well, at least he wasn’t brandishing a gun. Though legally, he can’t own a handgun, so thank god for that.
I do find this amusing still, just because he has such an enormous ego, and he’s really not that big of a star. He’s a freaking TV star for crying out loud. Get off your pedastel Charlie.
@hmmmm – good catch – I didn’t look at the pics that closely. It’s not that I think he’d actually be drinking ‘Tiger’s Blood’ it’s just I wonder what is actually in that bottle. Since you pointed out he’s not drinking it then I think it could just be fake stage blood.
Try harder next time, Charlie – you’re slipping and peeps are catching it. Just drink it next time! Could it really be any worse for you than all the other substances you put in your body???
He’s on meth and not bi-polar. Bi-polars usually have a mouth full of teeth. Dead by summer.
he needs to be baker acted..seriously.
My prediction….He moves into his brother’s home flat broke, no where to go, a real loser. He lives on his brother’s futon in the guest room, sponging of his brother’s good fortune and they turn it into a reality show based on his sitcom. Too bad he will have John Cryer’s role and Emilio will have the role Charlie held.
@hmmmm I noticed that to, I also think the cap might still be on the bottle.
I just can’t even watch this stuff anymore. It’s worse than a train wreck.
At first glance I thought that was Reese Witherspoon with him on the roof..!
What bothers me the most is if an ordinary (non-celebrity) person started acting and talking this way, co-workers and others would shun him. But instead he’s rewarded by the circus attention.
You’re telling me a non-celebrity with suspected mental and known drug problems would be allowed to show up with fake tiger blood and a machete??? The police would be called.
SICK to death of this FREAK.
Does anyone have an idea of how much $$ he will make from reruns of 2.5 men? And how much does he spend on child support – I think it’s pretty hefty.
Wonder how long before he goes to court to get that cut back?
I think he’s all about $$ because is spend rate is phenomenal, even without the drugs.
i have read that he’s lost all of his teeth due to drug use; the ones you see are fake. don’t know about the gold one; he prob thinks it adds to his ADONIS DNA IMAGE
I see he has decided to stop wearing the snap on veneers to hide his gold teeth.
Maybe he can get a part in the next Jack Sparrow movie.
Maybe Disney needs another gold tooth pirate.
I bet Johnny Depp would appreciate the kind of crazy that Charlie would bring to the movie. 🙂
@hairball
Reese was my first thought as well.
That has to be a child’s play machete, don’t you think? Hmm. I’d say, by the pr0n star’s tight smile, she is not enjoying that particular moment. I’m surprised the girls have stuck around this long. He must be paying them oodles.
ITA, hairball. I can’t believe he was just fired NOW. For a lot of us, just coming in late a couple times would do it. Ugh.
I see he isn’t really drinking the “tiger blood”..hes stretching his 15 min. as far as he can..I guess being crazy as hell has its rewards.
god, I hope he never ever is left with any of his children. he is clearly on something bad and at the point of no return. I honestly feel for all the poor children who carry the Tigerboob DNA. that’s some cerifiable brand of crazy.
I think his eldest child (the adult one) is the luckiest of the bunch: she wasn’t raised around him.
I can hope that this whole ordeal will be over soon and that everyone will lose interest in Charlie. He is getting far too much attention for behaving badly. I, for one, hope that his career is over and that he’ll fade into obscurity – soon!
It just seems wrong to watch someone basically die and just stand by and watch.
This has to be so sad for his family. This is someone’s baby boy. I can’t imagine what it would be like to watch my child deteriorate into this melting/crypt keeper thing.
There are laws on the size of blade you can brandish around in public. Joe Public’s ass would be posing for a mug shot. He’s turning into a circus act that most have lost interest in.
@junk – that’s what I keep thinking – his poor family. I’d also be freaking out if that was my daughter with a man like that. This isn’t going to end well. I really do resent the media at this point – shut down the coverage already!!!
His other girlfriend hasn’t been photographed with him since she left and returned. I’m guessing they’re waiting for the black eye to fade before they bring her out in public again?
@crankychica, I believe Charlie said he pays $100,000/mo child support (which is peanuts when you’re raking in $1.8 million per episode).
He ain’t going to have a tooth, or gold tooth, or porcelain tooth, or grill in his head in a few short months. Speculation is is that he has terribly mismanaged his money and is about to hit Nick Cage status as far as his finances. I bet Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller are pretty nervous about their own incomes now. I would be.
I got through about 3 minutes of that video. I kept thinking, the man is just SO unpleasant. Who would willingly spend any time with him?
What? Huh? Umm..Winning! That is the best – this white boy has lost his damn mind.
Quit watching if you are sick of it!
Still lovin Charlie and watching his reality-
Oh wow, Charlie looks so scarily unhealthy in that video. Gaunt cheekbones and his eyes are so sunken! Yikes. If that is self-detox and tiger blood I will pass.
I cannot imagine what his family must be going through. He has totally cut the out of his life, right. Charlie needs an intervention, stat. Those two bumbos (bimbos that bum off older somewhat wealthy men) sure are not helping any and I bet their families also are fretting about this bad publicity.
Beyond sad.. and seeing ppl that wish him death is even sadder.
okay, who’s gonna start with the t-shirts:
~jesus crap
~disappearing, disappearing, like so many magician’s rabbits
~an odyssey of EPIC, EPIC proportions
~well hello, DUH!
~i had more than fun with it, i had ME with it!
~winner, winner chicken dinner,
i don’t think so,
winner, winner SHEEEEEN DINNER
every.
body.
WINS!
good night irene, lmmfao! 😆
This is not really funny anymore. We’re all enablers in this mess.
How much is this tool getting paid to deal with him? It’s amazing what people sell themselves for.
I want the “Every body wins!” in tiger blood red on a pink background.
All I see is a dead man walking and talking. A sad journey when you’ve had so much offered to you in this world.
i’m starting to think this is an act, at least partially. he’s like a child who falls down and whimpers,then when everyone pays attention to him he starts to scream.
Rita: His cult following will thin-out faster than John Travolta’s hair and we’ll soon be done with him…Charlie.
Good one!
Isn’t that the bald truth!
Is anyone else getting creepy premonitions of one of his so-called “goddesses” being decapitated by that big ass knife? I wonder if that is the same knife he used to threaten Brooke Mueller last year…and just a couple of weeks ago he vowed to cut off her head and put it in a box. Maybe I am overreacting but at this point he seems capable of just about anything…and people are just shrugging it off, “Oh, that Charlie.” WTF? How does he get away with this stuff?
If Charlie wants to see his children as much as he professes he does, why on earth would he stage the machete scene?
I think with wielding that machete he cut off having any contact with his sons and daughters. Would any judge deem him fit to be around his children?
Oh wait! It’s California!
I hope there is someone in the California judicial system that rules by the words ‘Justice is Blind’ and ‘All Are Treated Equal Under The Law’?
Despite the fact that he actively courts
the media with his insane behavior, I believe him to be spiraling down with every new appearance.
Heart breaking for his mother, who never
seems to be in the picture.
Sadly, this whole thing is like a modern day equivalent of the ‘Games of the Roman Colosseum’ and we have become
either the thumbs up or thumbs down spectators. 🙁
I haven’t read all the CS stuff,I’m tired of him, and here in Europe he is not a big name.
What is that tiger thing he drinks?
this should end well.
Everyone who started following him on Twitter: UNFOLLOW HIM! There’s a move to unfollow him. He got over a million followers in the first 24 hours he was on Twitter. Now, of course, it’s come out that he doesn’t even write his Twitters and he’s getting paid by different advertisers to be on Twitter. Don’t enable him, it’s not even funny anymore, unfollow him.
He’s on meth and not bi-polar. Bi-polars usually have a mouth full of teeth. Dead by summer.
Ha, ha, good one! However, his behavior does mirror a manic state. He’s indulging in extremely impulsive behavior;just look at all the crazy stunts he’s pulled in just under two weeks. Many bipolars have trouble with impulse control, particularly when they feel they’re in the midst of an exciting adventure! But with the drug and alcohol element, it’s hard to say. My only questions are: 1)Why does he have to show off that horrible gold tooth and 2)Why is this loony-toons allowed to brandish a huge machete and no one so much as blinks an eye?
does mirror a manic state, I meant to say.
I hope his kids never see any of this.
He’s clearly in need of a straightjacket, stat.
“All I see is a dead man walking and talking. A sad journey when you’ve had so much offered to you in this world.”
Such a sad and true statement.
No idea if this is mental illness or drugs or both. Regardless, I’m over it. Moving on….
Chuck Lorre, Ted Moonves and the other scumbags at CBS enabled charlie sheen for years as long as he and the show were earning them billions they turned a blind eye to Charlies issues, the drugs, alcoholism, wife abusing and unprofessional behavior on set, but now that Charlie has hurt their egos by calling them turds with ugly children and wives they fire him, their behavior is just as disgusting as Charlies if not worse.
I keep hoping for Charlie’s family that this ends with him in rehab and therapy getting the help he needs.
Can’t someone, anyone, get him committed for the mandatory psychological while they try and figure him out? They can do their own drug testing. Ms. Mueller needs to stay far, far away from him. He intentionally took her on vacation, she wasn’t strong enough, and he now thinks he has some sort of hold on her. Yes, there’s an issue in progress, but he won’t be getting even visitation any time soon. He doesn’t get the twins.
I’m going to send him a bunch of Tiger’s Blood Sno Cones. Internship = Mine!
I don’t think this is going to end well for him or his “goddesses.” I think he is going to do something really awful and stupid. Like he is acting totally insane because he knows he won’t be around to see any consequences. I think he’s terminally ill and knows it. He certainly looks it.
Yep.
Over it.
Charlie Sheen is probably at least slightly brain damaged by this point from 30 years straight of snorting blow and shooting up, but he’s not insane. He’s just an asshole. A selfish, immature, money grubbing, famewhoring asshole with no social conscience. The reason he keeps screaming that he’s “winning” is because this is all a big retarded game to him, and millions of people are playing right into his hands by rewarding him with the attention for which he’s so desperately begging. He’s gross, the whole situation is gross. It’s not sad. It’s not amusing. It’s revolting.
They’re coming to take me away, Ha Ha! They’re coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha….to the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time and I’ll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats….and they’re coming to take me away, ha ha!
An intern?
To my understanding interning is like volunteer work. No way in hell. You’d want to be paid, and paid well, to work for a loony like Charlie Sheen. The guy is so grandiose, he’d drive any staffmember insane.
I was expecting him to jump off the building. Ah well…
@Live
Nope- it’s REALLY hard to get someone involuntarily committed. It depends on the laws of the state and whatnot, but normally you have to prove that there is an IMMINENT chance of harm to the self or others (suicidal or homicidal ideations).
For example, if, during a therapy session, a client tells me they have been thinking about suicide then I can’t commit them right then. I have to find out if they have a plan (how are you going to do it? did you buy the stuff to do? when do you plan on doing this? etc), the seriousness of the threat (saying you’re going to OD by taking a bottle of tylenol is waaaaaayyy different than someone trying to OD by taking a bottle of benzos), and I need to assess their support systems (where is their family? are they alone or can people watch them?)
Legally we have to use involuntary commitment as the last possible step.
So basically it’s hard. Ha. And you can’t just look at someone and decide if they really are out of control (he may be playing with a machete, but why is he doing it? Because he’s bored, or he wants attention, or does he want to hurt himself or others?)
Charlie Sheen is a dullard.
I strongly suspect he is bi-polar with a long history of self-medicating it. Unfortunately he gets so much attention for this behavior that it’s probably not going to improve. I can’t help but compare his case to Britney Spears’. She at least had her father to step in. I’m sure she didn’t like it, but it seemed to head off the self-destruction.
praying for him and his family. mom, dad, brother.
Hideous.
“Charlie Sheen is probably at least slightly brain damaged by this point from 30 years straight of snorting blow and shooting up, but he’s not insane. He’s just an asshole. A selfish, immature, money grubbing, famewhoring asshole with no social conscience”
I agree – although I do think there is a very, very good point to his self-medicating all this time etc. I do think mental illness is definitely a factor – that doesn’t mean insanity.
He has to have brain damage from the long term drug use and horrible nutrition.
He has the same look as my brother-in-law (44 year old alcoholic loser who lives with mommy and no job). Very thin, extremely unhealthy looking, but the mannerisms are very similiar at times – a bit slow on the up take, shaky at times etc. It’s uncanny to me but only in their looks and mannerisms. Thankfully my brother-in-law is just a passive aggressive loser who uses his mom like a door mat.
He should start flying his own tiger’s blood drenched pirate flag in about 10 secs.
re: sandy – praying for him and his family. mom, dad, brother.
Thank You!
I was coming to post the same thing. Just imagine what would happen if even half of those million plus twitter followers took a minute or two and said a prayer for his recovery and for all his extended family. If that happened then Charlie Sheen would really be ‘winning’!
Nice gold teeth, Mr. Flav.
You know, it’s really irritating the way Charlie seems to get a pass from media outlets and the general public for his frat boy “antics”. Over a million Twitter followers within the last week alone, really? He is a grown man and has made some terrible and poor choices and yet some refuse to fault this man. Charlie is a woman beater, cheater, and his self-entitled attitude is unbelievably arrogant.
Yet other men who’ve made similar poor choices (Tiger Woods, Chris Brown, etc.) seem to be detested intensely by the public for being cheaters and woman beaters and don’t seem to get the same “pass” as Charlie. Did anyone consider Chris or Tiger worthy of any type of compassion during their time in the media spotlight? No, because they made bad choices, plain and simple. But it doesn’t seem to be that way with Charlie. It’s as if some people want to make excuses for him: “he needs help”, “he’s insane”, “he’s bipolar”…how about he’s also a grown man whose poor choices contributed to his current situation so he is now reaping what he’s sown? He’s lost his show because of his arrogant behavior and bad choices with constant drug abuse and sexual promiscuity while married.
There just seems to be a double standard at play. Yes, his mental issues definitely play a part in his situation but he shouldn’t receive a complete pass without considering the role of his bad attitude and choices also.
This is feeling very “Joaquin Phoenix” to me now. He’s an idiot because his career probably won’t recover.
@ Addie – ITA
@ Aspie – ITA I dislike him as much as the others you mentioned, and don’t understand the “Charlie love.” Whether it’s imo that he’s a meth-taking bipolar on a major downward spiral, it still doesn’t change what an azz he is.
Agree with the Joaquin Phoenix analogy. Did any one notice the way he was pointing out his new #winning tat? “Do we see it? Do we see it? Do we see it…?” Kinda like Ralph Fiennes in Red Dragon showing his slide show to Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Ashley! Awesome idea! Your winning!
Charlie Sheen turned from a boring mainstream hollywood actor to an artist over night. Can’t wait to see what kind of performance art pieces he comes up with next. I liked his artpiece involving the tiger blood and machete. it was so avant garde and makes such a strong statement. he has clearly unleashed his genius. its sooooo awesome. two and a half men was just boring tv any way. this is so much more interesting and historic.
