  2. Oh, please, enough with the Charlie Sheen jokes already. It’s a rich guy self-destructing publicly, and it is kind of sad. He’s Scott Walker or Sarah Palin or any of those rightwing monsters who are literally out to destroy those of us who aren’t like them, is he? He’s not even Sam Arora. So maybe we should let the gossip pages pay attention to him and leave him alone to deal with his demons.

  8. Am I the only one who watches this and just feels depressed? I mean, I like watching the self-implosion of insanely self-important Hollywood freaks as much as the next gal. Really. BUT–I feel a little dirty watching this level of self-destruction. And what is saddest is that even if he gets help, he’ll still be delusional. This man will never, ever come to grips with his place (and it’s minimal) in the world. He’ll die thinking he’s terribly important, even if he’s clean, and he’ll die with FIVE fucked-up progeny who will never understand or be at peace with this kind of delusion from their father. Kind of makes me want to throw up.

  9. Since I represent the adult male heterosexual voice on this venue, I will tell you.

    Yes.

    In the metrics of dudeness.

    He really did win.

  10. @9 Really? You may represent some male and some heterosexual. But I’m pretty sure you don’t yet get “adult”–no matter how old you are. I’m actually privy to many adult males’ feelings on this –and many more important things–as a heterosexual woman. And, you, silly boy, sound like an idiot. Even in the “metrics of dudeness.”

  11. SeattleBound @8: I’m with you.

    Supreme Ruler @9: I’m a heterosexual male in my thirties, and I disagree with everything about your post, especially the phrase “metrics of dudeness.”

  15. he’s an addict with an endless supply of cash. What is he supposed to do? As long as he doesn’t kill himself or hurt anyone else, I say let him be. It is pretty entertaining.

  16. remember when he shot his fiancee and beat up all of his wives, some of his girlfriends, and a few sex workers?

    yes?

    and you’re still laughing?

    get fucked.

  18. Where the hell is Charlie’s family in all this. Does he not come from a celebrity empire that is 400 years old fer chrissakes? Don’t they have good people to handle this sort of thing?

  20. @18
    No, His awesome father came up from working class immigrant parents – and he would do well to pretend that he doesn’t even know Charlie.

  21. Anyone want to take bets on when one or both of the “goddesses” get in some sort of domestic dispute with Charlie, leave or are kicked out of the house, and start shopping tell-all interviews (including the more than obvious revelation that Sheen is not clean) to the press? I give it 10 days or less.

  22. If the “metrics of dudeness” include paying a porn star with “distinctive genitalia” $30,000 for one night of impotent cuddling while he smokes crack and weeps, or getting congratulatory phone calls from Mel Gibson, I’m not sure I mind losing so much. My house may be small but I can hold a conversation.

  23. I love a public meltdown as much as the next person, but there’s a statute of limitations on enjoying a self-absorbed celebrity’s self-destruction. I think we’ve just hit it with Charlie Sheen.

  24. @16: Yeah, everybody here idolizes Charlie Sheen. I see your reading comprehension skills were honed to a fine point at Evergreen.

  26. No matter where I go on the Internet today, everyone seems to have to throw in a mention of Charlie Sheen. I get it, okay? The guy is cuh-ray-zeee. Can we shut up about it already?
