Unless you have been living under a rock lately, you may have noticed that Charlie Sheen has gone off the deep end, or wanted people to think he's gone off the deep end, and people are falling for it hooker, line(of coke), and sinker. There is a Puff Daddy song, one of the ones that isn't sad about Notorious B.I.G. dying(although he was in the song so I guess he was still sad) that says the more money we got, the more problems we see, and these past few years we have seen a lot of this in Hollywood. Before Lindsay Lohan discovered she enjoyed stealing things(allegedly) she was a pretty good actress(allegedly) until someone at a party whispered "hey, try this" and handed her some drugs, and she decided if she liked one drug, she must like them all. Then there is Mel Gibson, one of the biggest movie stars of the eighties and nineties, he made so much money that he could live comfortably for the rest of his life, and like most people when they are bored he decided to take it out on the Jewish people and African Americans, also taking the time to go all cold war on his Russian ex-wife.
Now it's Charlie Sheen's turn, and boy is he making the most of it. When he is not seen in the company of black eyed hookers, he can often be seen gracing any number of television "entertainment" news show or gossip show. It is getting repetitive at this point, he likes to party, he likes drugs, he likes to use porn stars as pinatas when he's on drugs, what about the more serious stuff like killing his half brother Emilio Estevez, I mean it's been years since we've seen him, how else do you explain it? I mean sure, everyone is listening, anticipating the next whimsical thing he's gonna say, the internet abuzz over what will be the next meme created by something he says. It's not an accomplishment to become a big star on the internet, Justin Bieber did it by having a lousy haircut, hell Chuck Norris became popular again because of the internet and he didn't do anything......well besides roundhouse kick a computer and create the whole internet.
For once I want to see a somewhat normal celebrity go bonkers, someone no one would expect. How about George Clooney, why can't he go on a bender, rant about how he actually hates the Haitians and wished that earthquake had wiped them out while having a couple of them stowed away in is trunk. How about Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, what if something snapped in them and they adopted a white baby, or what about Joaquin Phoenix....wait a minute my roommate Jeff is trying to tell me something........what's that.........Letterman..............sat there...........big beard...........rap career.........ummm never mind, scratch that last example. Really what is Charlie Sheen gaining by all this press, sure he might have gained some fans, and some supporters but he's lost Two and half men, four and a half kids and lord knows how many friends and family because of his actions(RIP Emilio). People can say he's bi-polar, Sheen can say he's bi-winning, but I just wish everyone would just say bi to it all because frankly I've Sheen enough.
So if your reading this Charlie Sheen, I hope you do get well, and find peace, you had Major League talent once, one of the true Young Guns of Hollywood, but lately it must seem that things are hitting a Wall Street. I know it must seem like your career is heading for an Apocalypse Now, but you have the money to hire a Platoon of people to help you, at your say so there could be Men At Work helping you on the path to recovery. I don't know what you have to treat your life like a Scary Movie 4, just sit back, relax, grab a Three Musketeers, and focus on becoming one of the Hot Shots on television again, or instead of a happy ending your career could be facing a Red Dawn.
