The Greatest Trick the Devil Ever Pulled Was Convincing the World He Wasn't Charlie Sheen

By Courtney Enlow | Posted Under Celebrities Are Better than You | Comments (41)



charlie-sheen-620.jpg

As you very well may be aware, Charlie Sheen was found naked and screaming in a hotel room last week, having trashed the hotel room in a rage, causing a woman to lock herself in the bathroom to hide from him.

That’s our Charlie. Wah-wah-wah-wahhhhhhhh.

At a certain point, a person’s fuck-ups can become so commonplace and frequent that it’s not remotely surprising. “Oh, Charlie Sheen was an insane violent disaster, terrifying and threatening women again? Bless him, that guy is a firecracker.”

By the way, you vile judgers had the audacity to just assume this delicate lady was a hooker. How. Dare. You. She was a porn star. The kind of porn star who charges $12,000 for the pleasure of her company for an evening. Don’t you feel stupid now.

You’ll all be pleased to know that immediately after the events of that evening, Sheen was sent to jail and will be charged for his actions and forced to leave his television show.

It’s funny when I tell jokes. No, he was fine. He’ll pay for the hotel room when he gets around to it, he got some hospital Jell-O, and he’s back to work making $1.25 million an episode. No legal ramifications will be had. Much like that time he held a knife to his wife’s throat while high on crack. I mean, it was Christmas and there were children present. It would have just been rude to put him in jail, you guys. The police aren’t monsters.

In fairness, he was charged with third degree assault for that Christmas fiasco, and was sentenced eight months later to 30 whole days in jail, which was suspended in favor of 30 days in rehab, 30 days probation, and 30 pieces of generic candy, because that will show him.

One time, he shot Kelly Preston. Like with a gun. This isn’t discussed enough, so I thought it was important to mention.

There is no appeal to be made to Charlie Sheen. Violent, egomaniacal criminals tend to not really listen to reason, particularly when they’re 45 years old, free of any and all real consequences, and paid a shit ton of money by a top network, a network who thrives on programs about criminal justice and the law, because they happen to be that network’s amoral little cash cow. So, I have things to say to a few others.

Dear Jon Cryer,
I’m sorry that life has lead you here. I’m sorry you are the fey second banana on a terrible and bizarrely popular television program. I thank you for living a quiet life of calm and goodness, and I hope Sheen never makes good on his threats to murder you if you ever steal his limelight. You were Duckie. We should have given you better, and we didn’t. We are all of us to blame for your life. We are sorry.

Dear Angus Jones,
At nine-years-old, you were cast in a new television show. I bet you were so excited. Now, years later, you have spent your formative years around Charlie Sheen, and I can only hope that your parents taught you good things about life and to stay away from the bad man in the short-sleeved buttondowns. Being child star parents, I fear they did not. So I feel compelled to give you some quick life lessons: don’t do drugs, don’t wear short-sleeved buttondowns, and don’t shoot women or threaten them with knives, because, and I don’t want to blow your mind here, it’s really wrong. Vaginas are not merely in this world to be your fuck tunnels, and ladypeople are people, too. So, you know, don’t shoot them. Or the knife thing.

Dear Women,
Stop fucking marrying, sleeping with, or generally coming into any contact with Charlie Sheen. I can only assume the man’s trunk has seen more hooker corpses than Jigsaw (hence why he had to drive two of them off a cliff), and you need to know better.

What he needs is a good audio and/or video recording of his outraguosu behavior as that often does the trick, c.f. and f.u. Michael Richards, Mel Gibson, Christian Bale.

Charlie gets a bad rap. I mean it's not like he's killed anyone... famous.

Posted by: logan at November 2, 2010 1:55 PM

um I would like revoke Charlie Sheens membership to the male gender if that's ok and even if it's not

Posted by: BigTodd at November 2, 2010 1:56 PM

Hey, you go out with Charlie Sheen at this point? You know what's in store. There are no victims here,the fact is this latest hooker didn't file any complaint when the cops got to the room. And another fact is that there's still a 100k watch missing.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at November 2, 2010 1:57 PM

Wow. He shot someone. That's not small-time; it's major league.

...heh...

He couldn't have been that old when he did it. And by that I mean that he was just a young gun.

...pfffffff...

What does he think he is, some kind of hot-shot?

...HO-boy...

was this hotel on Wall Street?
hehehe
I mean he has done this to a Platoon of women...
hrm
he was screaming because he just got done whatching the arrival...

did I do it right superasente?

Posted by: BigTodd at November 2, 2010 2:08 PM

Actually, I read that his assistant had taken the watch and the wallet for safekeeping and both items have been recovered. But I still agree with Barbadoslim ... no matter how much money he makes, if you see Charlie Sheen approaching, RUN!

Posted by: Carolina Girl at November 2, 2010 2:11 PM

It would take an entire platoon of cops to cramp his style... even when he's taking a day off.

Posted by: Maureen at November 2, 2010 2:11 PM

You were Duckie. We should have given you better, and we didn’t. We are all of us to blame for your life. We are sorry.

So true.

Posted by: tamatha at November 2, 2010 2:16 PM

Wait, what? He shot Kelly Preston?

Also, who watches Two And A Half Men? I mean that as a genuine question, because it freakin' baffles me.

Posted by: lingli at November 2, 2010 2:20 PM

I met a person who watches it. She's the woman who does my job at another location in our company. I was sent to meet her and give her some tips on running things more efficiently since our location is much more profitable. My boss told me that this is one of the smartest women she's ever met. No joke.

I'm baffled. She actually said "I'm too invested in the plot to give up on it now." Is there even an overarching storyline? I thought every week Duckie and a child watched Charlie Sheen bang hookers. Is it going somewhere? I couldn't ask the woman because then she might have guessed that I hate her.

Posted by: becks at November 2, 2010 2:29 PM

I can't even begin to tell you how much I hate that show. It comes on at 7P after The Office reruns, and the 30 seconds or so that I've seen a few times before I could change the channel made me - an anything goes liberal - think 'did they just SAY that?! On network TV?!' It's horrible. It makes me sad for humanity.

And like some others have said, if you're dating/having sex with/marrying Charlie Sheen, whatever happens is on your head, because everyone else on Earth knows how it's going to end.

Posted by: fenchurch at November 2, 2010 2:42 PM

Ok, so I totally didn't believe you that Charlie shot Kelly Preston. To the Wikipedia, my friends! And here it is:

"In 1990, Sheen accidentally shot his then-fiancee, Kelly Preston, in the arm, after which she ended the relationship."

I love the "after which she ended the relationship" - it's one of those things where you don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Posted by: MM at November 2, 2010 2:42 PM

I was momentarily terrified that Sheen had been cast in some sort of American Psycho remake/sequel when I read this headline.

Posted by: PandemicSymphony at November 2, 2010 2:47 PM

I work at a second-tier local station that runs an hour of two and a half men everyday of the week. There is no real storyline. There's a few episodes each year where they attempt to have Charlie (sheen's character is named charlie....) not want to bang a bunch of chicks who would never do him in real life, and then they revert back. He's been engaged to be married at least twice (I think... I try my best to ignore actual content when 2/3rd's of our station's shows are on)

Posted by: e at November 2, 2010 2:48 PM

Even more appalling, I'm pretty sure that his ex-wife and two small daughters were right next door. Although it does take balls to take a porn star/possible hooker to dinner with your ex-wife. How is this someone's life?

Posted by: Jeni at November 2, 2010 2:51 PM

Anyone else think he's bound to be cast in the Hangover 2 at any moment?

Posted by: RobP at November 2, 2010 3:02 PM

And then un-cast?

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 2, 2010 3:06 PM

It doesn't take that much balls if your ex wife is a retired prostitute.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at November 2, 2010 3:12 PM

Is this fucking ancient Rome?

Are celebrities seen as providing such a service to the human race, that we actually look beyond this sort of behaviour and just give them a free pass?

Because I'm telling you right now. If some scientist single handedly cured cancer, then celebrated by going out and raping a prostitute, I for one would want this egghead's cancer-curing, hooker-raping arse behind bars.

You know, there are cult leaders who tell their followers that they are the only things holding off the destruction of the Earth, that they are the only ones who can save their followers souls fron eternal damnation, and that they also need to have sex with their follower's children to give them these special powers.

We look at these cults with shock and disgust and derision. But if this person were say, selling billions of dollars worth of family entertainment, then (I suppose, according to whatever our cult is) this person would be in line for a stern wag of the finger and shake of the head, then it's back to work, another million dollars for showing up.

Is that the society we live in now?

Dear Emilio Estevez

We're so sorry we fell for your idiot brother just because of the way he eyefucked Jennifer Grey in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." We had NO IDEA that we were creating this monster. And we never realized that fleetingly finding Charlie hot would make you - the only jock we ever kind of liked - disappear forever. Come back, Emilio! You were REPO MAN, for god's sake!

PS: No one but me remembers that you married Paula Abdul, and I promise I won't ever tell anyone!

Posted by: Edith at November 2, 2010 3:22 PM

My father-in-law watches Two And A Half Men. We're not sure whether he actually pays attention to it or if it's simply background noise while he daydreams. An investigation is underway and my husband and I are prepared to stage an intervention if necessary.

Posted by: stardust at November 2, 2010 3:30 PM

Here's an idea: how about we (the public and esp. the media) just ignore Charlie Sheen? And all his other worthless celebrity cohorts?

Here was the big news on the 3 broadcast morning shows this morning (running simultaneously, I kept hitting the remote to try to find actual news on what are purportedly news programs): Demi Lovato on NBC, Sheen on ABC and the fucking crazy Quaids on CBS. Or maybe it was the Quaids on ABC and Sheen on CBS.

Way to reach for the stars, Big 3.

I don't give a fuck if Charlie Sheen drives down Sunset with a dead hooker in the trunk and 3 live hookers inside the car while he inhales a kilo of whatever the hell he inhales. If you really want him to go away, maybe you should stop paying attention to him.

Posted by: Slash at November 2, 2010 3:31 PM

I think MrsJulien is right: it'd take a tape for his career to die. Nothing less will do at this point.

But hey, since we're talking about disgusting people, how about Denise Richards, huh? She's been doing the talk show rounds supposedly to promote a tv movie or some shit no one cares about, but I'll bet you anything that they're getting her because the woman won't shut up about Charlie Sheen. Always while playing the concerned citizen and not just another talentless famewhore. She's just despicable.

Those two deserve each other.

Posted by: figgy at November 2, 2010 3:32 PM

I don't know why any of this stuff surprises anybody given where he comes from. I mean, do you know how many times Martin Sheen has been arrested? Sure, it's for peaceful political protests rather than assaulting prostitutes and teaching your kids that cocaine is great, but still! A criminal's a criminal!

Posted by: Todd at November 2, 2010 4:01 PM

I'm just gonna leave this here... from Gawker:

Austria's "incest monster" Josef Fritzl—who used his daughter as a baby-bearing dungeon sex slave for 24 years—just gave his first jailhouse interview: "I hate hairdressers more than dentists." And: "My favorite show is Two and a Half Men."

From Bild's German-language interview with "das inzest monster":

"My favorite show is Two and a Half Men with Charlie Sheen. The little boy who plays along because he reminds me of my son. It relaxes me, I need to laugh. Because it destroys the soul, if you are always sad." "

... ok then.

Do you know what I'd say if I saw Charlie Sheen coming? I mean coming towards me?

FUCKITY-BYE!

Because as of yesterday, I've always wanted to say that.

Posted by: BWeaves at November 2, 2010 4:21 PM

Two and a Half Men has been on the air for seven years (*quiet sob*). Jon Cryer has re-upped for that terrible show knowing full well what Sheen is. He doesn't get a free pass.

Posted by: Three-nineteen at November 2, 2010 8:22 PM

I love the "after which she ended the relationship" - it's one of those things where you don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Well, she was involved in Scientology, so clearly she wasn't making good decisions for herself.

I have family members that I've tried to shame out of watching Two and a Half Men. I'm not sure if they still watch it or not.

That's The Mutt's mother who's giving it away for $2, in case that's not clear.

Posted by: Rachel at November 3, 2010 9:50 AM

I agree with all of this that he is the devil incarnate and that the baby boomers' obsession with him and his shitty, ugly button downs is an embarrassment and that his dumb ass needs some real consequences for being who he is. However, Brooke Mueller saying that she feels like he's betrayed her and has made her feel humiliated, because he filed the divorce papers is pretty ridiculous. His behavior is not new and obviously popping out a couple kids will not curb his batshit crazyfuck behavior. Look at Denise Richards, only not too closely or your eyes will burn out of your head from her radiant craziness. You knew who Charlie Sheen was when you met him. He's been nuts for years. He stabbed at you on Christmas motherfucking Day! How the shit are you shocked by anything he does?

I've had 2 personal encounters with the Sheenster.
The first was in the 80s, when he was in Vienna for the 3 Musketeers shoot. I was in a club when suddenly this guy comes over to me and said "You and me. In 15 minutes." and gave me a hotel key. I was 15 at the time and looked younger. I had not a clue who he was or what he wanted (ah, innocence).
The second time was in the 90s when I was working on an indie film in which he played a bartender. He had one scene with one monologue. He showed up blitzed out of his mind in a limo 3 hours late with a random chick. He had just been married 2 weeks before. He was so out of it I had to print his lines on posterboards and hold them up off-screen, and he still couldn't function. Between the wasted footage, the crew, cast and 50-odd extras, the 2 locations, the ensuing 6 hours of overtime on a night shoot and the fact that he grabbed every female ass in sight... well, let's just say I'll never work with him again, nor can I understand why anyone else does.

It must be nice to continually commit felonies and not only get away with it, but be rewarded with millions of dollars so that you're one of (if not THE) highest paid actors on tv. Meanwhile, there are folks who are in prison for years and years for less. At what point does Sheen get held even remotely accountable? Heck, the NFL has rules about player behavior, at some point, can't someone at least suspend his SAG card?

Someone will marry him again. Depressingly, when folks have that kind of fame and money, someone always does.

Posted by: candigirl1968 at November 3, 2010 11:39 AM

He and/or his lawyer/agent must have some serious dirt on the Governor of California and some other Hollywood higher-ups because there is no good reason that the man is not only CONSTANTLY let off the hook for his appalling behavior, but he is the highest-paid TV actor in existence. I know no one who watches Two and a Half Men.

Posted by: nolalola504 at November 3, 2010 2:11 PM

I used to work in an office with some laydeees who would rehash watercooler style the socalled plot developments on the Charlie Sheen show and thet Jim Belushi show that lingerered like a chest infection.

Wondrous. I used to sit in silence and imagine Louis CK rejoindering them. Or just sometimes visualize them as male Gilligan's Island characters. Whatever gets you through the day, yanno?

Posted by: Stacy D at November 4, 2010 7:34 AM

why the hell do celebrities ALWAYS get off so easy?! They comment crimes and other ridiculous acts that deserve more than a slap on the hand. If an ordinary guy and acted the way Sheen had then they would have faced major legal charges for their actions...why should Sheen and every other celebrity get off so easy?

Posted by: Drury at November 4, 2010 4:58 PM

Hey guys, I have a question. If Charlie Sheen is such a mental psycho, why do you even bother to follow him and care?


Ps: Please respond, this is for a english research project!!
