the silly season begins with a vengeance!
Charlie Sheen has had his ups and downs, most of which have been well publicized. He had a nasty bust up with ex Denise Richards, and quickly rebounded with coked out skank Brooke Mueller. That lead to his infamous Christmas Day Knife Fight. That was when he got drunk and allegedly held a knife to Brooke's throat. Now, with only 8 days left on his probation from that incident, the troubled comedian has flipped out again!Seems that Charles was having a family day in NYC with Denise and their kids when things took an odd, but increasingly characteristic turn. At some point during the visit Charles checked himself into a hotel (the Plaza) and got into the booze and coke. That lead to some 911 calls being sent in. Other hotel occupants got alarmed when they heard the sound of breaking furniture coming from Sheen's room. Police arrived to find Sheen unconscious and naked in the ruins of what had once been a pricey New York hotel room ($7000 worth of damage). Naturally Sheen got hauled off.
Sheen was found to be under the influence of unnamed intoxicants, and taken off to hospital on a 5150 type hold for some psychiatric assessment. Meanwhile his PR reps went into overdrive. Almost as soon as the news broke an unconvincing cover story got concocted. The official story is that Sheen had an allergic reaction to some medication he was on. That should come as a relief to Charlie's many fans, since for awhile it was feared that the actor might be suffering from
Currently it is being reported that Sheen has been released and is once again one the loose. He is planning on returning to work on his popular TV series 2 1/2 Men. His ex wife Denise was at his side throughout this trying incident, and has made some supportive but non committal statements on the actor's behalf. So it's business as usual again, though we can't say that things are back to normal. It seems like things are seldom normal for Charlie. However Sheen might want to get it together soon, since right now he's a prime candidate for political asylum in Vancouver!
Speaking of freaked out celebrities there has been another occurrence of Andy Dick. The comedian was recently seen baring his genitals in public. The actor was also seen harassing a passing celebrity tour bus, screaming at the passing fans "I'm right here!" Unfortunately there aren't any "starwhackers"around when you need them! We can only assume that these incidents are unrelated, unless some real bad drugs have found their way to Hollywood.
Speaking of outrageous celebrities Mel Gibson got canned from his planned cameo in the Hangover sequel.At first it seemed like a good way to reintroduce Gibson to the public. However his costars on the flick got upset and petitioned to have him removed. Faced with a cast revolt, the producers relented and cut Gibson loose. They claimed that Gibson would have hurt the film. The good news is that Charlie Sheen is probably available to fill in for him - if the project can be squeezed in between court dates and shrink appointments.
Does any one remember the old days when movie stars were worshiped as gods? Of course that was before we found out how crazy they are, as a profession. Personally I blame the internet for undermining their images, that and crystal meth. Anything made from paint stripper and Lysol will rot your brains!
