Charlie Sheen on His Chicago Show: 'I Won'

By Kelly Fisher Posted Apr 4th 2011 07:30AM

After an epic fail in Detroit, Charlie Sheen said he "got back to basics" for the second show of his 'Torpedo of Truth' tour, according to E! Online.

The "winning" actor said he stayed up until 4:30 Sunday morning re-working his live show, which debuted to boos and heckling Saturday night in Detroit.

"Gotta go with what got you to the dance and give the people what they want," the actor said. "On the bus someone said, 'You know, we could just keep driving to LA.' I said, 'F**k that. That's what losers do. I won.'"

Apparently so, since Sheen was greeted with a standing ovation from the Chicago crowd, along with chants of "Detroit sucks!" The former 'Two and a Half Men' star decided to ditch everything that didn't work during his first show -- like opening acts and video segments -- and give the audience what they want: Charlie Sheen.

The actor sat in a chair with a pack of cigarettes as he was interviewed by the tour's co-producer Joey Scoleri -- just like the interviews that prompted the bizarre rants that catapulted Sheen further into pop culture fame earlier this year.

During the show, he talked about marriage -- "I'm 0-3" -- and estranged wife Brooke Mueller. "Nice try, bitch," he said of Mueller's attempt to take away his twin sons. "I got those kids back, didn't I? She sent 9,000 cops to my house looking for drugs and guns. They found one gun from 1848."

Of course he touched on the 'Two and a Half Men' debacle. "I didn't walk away from s**t. I got fired," he said. "That's not f**king cool. They didn't give a f**k that I was hammered for eight years ... If they hired me back I'd do it again."

He also revealed his attempt to add a third "goddess" to his group didn't work out so well. "I tried a third. I did," he said. "You can't keep an eye on the third one. I have two eyes. I have two goddesses. I'm not bipolar. I'm bi-winning."

Looks like the second time's the charm for Sheen because the packed show ended as it began -- with a standing ovation from crowd.

I KNEW Charlie could do it. Charlie is a true inspiration to all people around the world. Every man is envious of Charlie Sheen, and every women wishes she could just be one of the "Godesses." Charlie proved the haters wrong. Charlie is a true gentlemen, a man of the people, and an American success story. YOU GO CHARLIE!

Ummmmmm.......REALLY????? I am a woman and wouldn't want to be Charlie Sheen's ANYTHING. I LOVE Two and a Half Men, I have always liked Sheen but that doesn't meant I want to sleep with him and share all of the germs and diseases you KNOW he has. You really need to get a life if you admire him this much. He is an addict and ultimately will prove to be LOSING!!

You have pathetically low standards. I actually feel sorry for you.

Charlie Sheen is a true American hero! All men want to be him, and mostly, all women wish they could have him. Keep winning Charlie. Don't listen to the haters. Especially the women.

The city of Chicago should be ashamed of themselves to support this nitwit, but the morals of this country as a whole has dropped so low, that it doesn't really surprize me, the amount of idiots that would actually spend their hard earned money for this sort of nonsense. But at least some kudos should go out to the city of Detroit. They make take a bad rap, but it's obvious that cities character rates far better than the windy cities.

It took a lot of courage for Charlie to immediately change what went wrong with his performance in Detroit, and turn it right around. He didn't let defeat get him down!
I admire his courage!

Idiot people who pay good money to listen to this mentally ill person babble on, are like the children following the Pied Piper.

He is in need of professional help for sure. I have seen bipolar before. It is a sickness hard to fix if someone is fighting the truth. Drugs play a big part of his state of mind. SAD.

Charlie, you are a beacon of truth for this murky age. As for women, any woman who isn't kidding herself will admit that she would jump into Charlie's bed quick as a flash if she had a chance... it's easy for these fat Midwestern divorcees at popeater to pretend that's not true, but deep down they know it is... who do you think they're thinking about when Mr. Electric is vibrating in their special place?

Charlie, that's who!

Keep on fighting for what's right, Mr. Sheen! The people of the world love you!

Detroits a tough crowd.. I woudn't have made that my first go. I'd start with San Fran or something were people actually give a damn.
