I used to watch Two and A Half Men...it was pretty funny, and the main characters played off each other pretty well. It got a little much for me after a while, so I stopped watching; but you certainly don't have to watch the series to get a glimpse of Sheen these days. He is all over the place!
I think that people generally like to watch someone fall apart in public. Look at the antics of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, or Lindsay Lohan, to name a few. But I think that Charlie is in a category all by himself. If nothing else, he certainly knows an opportunity when he sees it...
Charlie Sheen has sold out not one, but two, shows at Radio City Music Hall for his upcoming tour of his one-man show, "Charlie Sheen LIVE: My Violent Torpedo of Truth". The theater seats 6000 people! Not only that, the show sold out in under 30 minutes, so they added another, which also sold out. Since sales were so good, the actor then added shows in Cleveland, Columbus, NYC, Connecticut and Boston.
So, my common sense tells me that I would not want to play out my life in front of the entire world. I know, I know. He's an actor; that's what they do. But seriously, his life, no matter how he spins it, is not going too well at the moment. He has to see a psychiatrist before he can see his sons; he's had to pay how much money to clean up the hotel rooms he's trashed; some of the pictures floating around after his binges are NOT very flattering; and he recently kissed Jimmy Kimmel on late night television. I know, I'm pretty old-fashioned; but, I really do think that it would be common sense for him to lay low for a while. On the other hand, if the fans are gonna love you, and the media's going to pay you...well, good luck to you, Charlie Sheen. I certainly hope everything works out well for you in the end!
I think it's crazy that the public feeds off this type of behavior and buys into it. I am amazed that he sold out so many shows that will probably be about how he is treated. i certainly wouldn't pay for it.
ReplyDeleteI heard his shows are awful. He's so hopeless, all my friends think he's the coolest thing out right now. Can't stand it.
ReplyDeleteYup...I heard his shows are bombing all over. Maybe it'll be a wake-up call for him!
