LISTEN UP CHARLIE WILL NEVER EVER LOOSE HIS SHEEN!!!

By Carolyn Shannon

I would like to know did he beat his children, starve them, leave them in a car by there self? take them out in the cold without there coats leave them unattented at home to go out??I have not heard of him doing this. His exwife is in for drugs he took treatment maybe not enough for all that is out there in judgement land. Read your news papers people on the ones that did all that and more to there children. Ok he got 2 girlfriends so it look like the children didn't seem to care.They looked like they were in good health. So he doesn't mind saying what's on his mind. Most of the talk sounds like a movie star. Crazy the man isn't or at least thats what I think.So maybe all the people that thinks like me and Charlie are crazy to?? Who knows??

Uh huh....you sound like Charlie or one of the hookers. First of all; was not his ex-wife and children in the same hotel that he busted up the room and the hooker was hiding in the bathroom for fear of her life? I guess you are right, nothingggggggg to worry about with the kids around huh? Whatever Judge allows Charlie to be alone with these kids and hookers to boot, should be replaced and jailed!

Re: the network firing Charlie Sheen. Big mistake I'd say. The fact that I never missed the show and that it was among my favorites had to do with the fact that all of the actors seemed perfect for their roles and the humor had alot to do with the interaction of these on-screen personalities. Without Sheen's skill with satire and portrayal of the quintessential misoginist charmer, there IS no Two and a Half Men, so far as I'm concerned. Alot of the show's success, I suspect, had to do with the fact that to a great degree, Sheen was portraying himself. I'm a total sucker for great actors, regardless of what they do in their personal lives. Sheen's been among my favorites for some time now. I never missed Twin Peaks either. There's a little part of me that wants him to sock it to the corporation too, as I'm not a big fan of them at all. I worked for a huge one and
learned to disrespect them. Thanks.
