Charlie Sheen's Obituary in the Works in Major Network Newsrooms?

By Rob Shuter Posted Mar 3rd 2011 06:24PM

You can't prepare enough when dealing with a guy like Charlie Sheen. Following months of epic parties, hospitalizations and unabashed drug use where he was "bangin' 7-gram rocks and finishing them," major news organizations including the actor's home at CBS have begun preparing obituaries for the unraveling-before-our-eyes star, sources tell me.

"No one is wishing the worst but as a news organization for us not to be prepared for one of the biggest stories in a long time would be unprofessional," a CBS insider tells me.

Preparing obits for celebs in meltdown mode is nothing new, of course, and the Associated Press reportedly got things ready in 2008 in case Britney Spears died.

Charlie called my friend Marianne Garvey and E! News this week and said his "Sober Valley Lodge" is filled with "babes and victories and children. Here, nobody panics and nobody dies."

But it's not just his words that are scaring those close to him. Charlie's thin, pale and generally exhausted appearance has friends and family worried.

"All his friends and family are terrified," a friend tells me. "No one knows what to do. Everyone tried an intervention, and Charlie thinks we are all wrong and trying to hurt him and only he is right. It's really out of control, but no one at this point can save him from himself."

As for drugs, Sheen told E! "It's there if I decide to go back to it. What's not to like? I see things in a different way. Sometimes life is boring, and I've got to make it exciting."

Let's all hope and pray the news orgs won't have to run what they are working on for a long, long time.

THIS JUST IN: Charlie Sheen...sometimes 'actor', full-time addict, anytime fool, patron of porndogs, lover of liquor, loser of marbles, poor example to 5, sugar daddy to goddesses and bona fide rock star in his mind...has left his troubled existence, not by choice, and moved on to a world where his Adonis DNA will allow him to build and be King of the sex colony he always dreamed of. Details after the weather.

that's mean, just wait and see if something happens they don't need to write the obits already.

By Ashlee

Would it be tacky to write a separate obit for his career? Just wondering.

Charlie's been on my death pool for 2 months. In fact, until Gaddafi went off the reservation, he was the only one on my death pool. Although, after the Oscars, Kirk Douglas has joined them, and even though at 95 he's the oldest one on the list, I still see Charlie going first.

ole charlie will be a loss to obama's left wing nut fringe

the nutjob right fringe reduces every media event to our successful, popular prez. sadder than charlie sheens meltdown.

By Whatever

As opposed to Bush's right wing nut job fringe supporter's aka Brittney Spears & kelsey Grammer? THEY are both stand up, family values type people...There are crazies in every camp, wise up.

Typical Republican douche, turning a celebrity's public meltdown and impending demise into an opportunity to bash the President.

By Jules

Oop...there it is...Obama is to blame for Charlie's meltdown. I knew the repubics would get to it sooner or later.

Take heed, Mr. Sheen. News organizations were doing the same for Anna Nicole Smith months before her death. Don't prove them right. Seek effective treatment, Mr. Sheen, before it is too late.

that rock has already been smoked, my friend!

By JEB BUCKINGHAM

Don't let the news organizations down, Charlie. Have another coke party with your girlfriends, in a hotel room.
