What is a normal childhood? We weren’t rich, we were pretty middle-class. My dad survived from job to job; with him taking care of so many relatives, he couldn’t save any money.

Platoon

0 Comments

Sheen plays young recruit Chris, in this Vietnam war drama directed by Oliver Stone. Chris tells his story of the war through his own eyes. From the carnage and deception of the enemy, to the fear and breaking point of every man. He then sees crimes happen within the war and faces a moral dilemma – do something about them or let it all go. The film also stars Tom Berenger and Willem DaFoe. Stone on casting Sheen:

Charlie was a dumb-struck 17-year-old the first time he came in for the film, back when we were going to make it in ’84. And in those two years, he’d grown and seemed perfectly wide-eyed and had a vaguely privileged look.

Fired

The actor is fired  from Two and a Half Men. The actor says:

This is very good news. They continue to be in breach, like so many whales. It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of the bazillions, never have to look at whatshiscock again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension. These guys are such yellow cockroaches that they didn’t even have the decency to call me. I put 5 bil in their cheap suit pockets and another half a bil in what’s-his-cheese’s pockets and this is the f**king respect I get? It’s just deplorable, and they should be ashamed of themselves!

I’ve got mad energy for days. That’s what people can’t get their minds around. They say, ‘Oh, he’s going to crash.’ They try to apply all these common terms to a guy who is not common. I don’t fit into their little box.

Charlie Sheen interview

Interview0 Comments

It was really an experiment. Just seeing if you could keep two women together peacefully under the same roof. It’s really hard. Unless they’re lesbians, you know?

Sheen speaks to Playboy Magazine about public scandals that cause him to be fired from the television show Two and a Half Men, which include his public addictions to drugs, porn stars, and trashing hotel rooms:

Yeah. It was surreal. And it never occurred to me where this stuff was going to end up or how it was going to be perceived. I didn’t care about anything beyond the moment. And then I was a little shocked by how huge the whole thing became. It was like an organism you couldn’t stop. It kept growing.

Seacrest interviews Sheen during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and asks him if he would like to be an American Idol judge.

It kind of came out of nowhere and I responded with a quote just to sort of check the temperature of it or test the waters, haven’t heard anything back. I guess it got some people curious. It seems so out of the blue that it almost made perfect sense. I thought this could be a lot of fun. Seriously I’m genuinely interested. It’s so different, it could be radical.

Yes! We are engaged! He even was a gentleman and got down on one knee.  I was not expecting it at all. We had a beautiful Valentine’s Day and he proposed to me early this morning after we watched the sun rise. The ring is classic and beautiful, but I don’t have any photos to share just yet. This is the happiest moment of both our lives. He’s my best friend and my soul mate.

Rihanna brush off

0 Comments

The actor goes on a Twitter rampage against Rihanna when she refuses to meet with his new fiancee when the three wound up in the same restaurant. He tweets:

So, I took my gal out to dinner last night with her best friends for her Bday. We heard Rihanna was present as well. I sent a request over to her table to introduce my fiancee Scotty to her, as she is a huge fan. (Personally I couldn’t pick her out of a lineup at gunpoint.) Well, the word we received back was that there were too many paps outside and it just wasn’t possible at this time. At this time? AT THIS TIME?? Lemme guess, we’re to reschedule another random 11 million to 1 encounter with her some other night?No biggie for me; it would have been 84 interminable seconds of chugging Draino and ‘please kill me now’ that I’d never get back.My Gal, however, was NOT OK with it. Nice impression you left behind, Bday or not. Sorry we’re not KOOL enough to warrant a blessing from the Princess. (Or in this case the Village idiot.)
