Charlie Sheen: From Tiger Blood Hero to Has-Been?

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jun 27th 2011 01:25PM

From waving Samurai swords on rooftops to making arguably one of the most important contributions to the urban dictionary in 2011 (Winning!), Charlie Sheen was on the tip of everyone's tongues for months as he battled his ex-wives, the media, and (most likely) the voices in his head.

But as the self-proclaimed warlock's live 'Violent Torpedo' tour came to an end in April so did Sheen's fairytale funhouse, once populated with briefcases of blow and a gaggle of goddesses -- and with it went any hope of salvaging the mega million dollar career that financed it all.

A younger, shinier Sheen, Ashton Kutcher, announced that he would be replacing the actor on 'Two and a Half Men,' Sheen's wife, Brooke Mueller, officially divorced the equally troubled bottom of the bottle bather and the D-list endorsement deals (Just Chill beverage, EstablishedMen.com) came trickling -- ever so slightly -- in. As of late, Mueller has even gotten more TV time than her fame-making ex-husband, staring in Paris Hilton's latest hearty try at a reality show, 'The World According to Paris.'

Sheen's initially impressive million twitter followers in one day soon plateaued and his already tacit bio, "unemployed winner," seemed to be sporting a superfluous modified noun. High on the fumes of his crash and burn acting career (but, nonetheless, still hocking his sweltering ego), Sheen soon began accepting applications for his very own "tiger blood" intern. More than 70,000 applicants, hoping to get close to the man who was pretending to have it all (maybe his acting career wasn't quite toast yet) gave it their best shot in 140 characters or less, but almost five months later, Sheen still has yet to choose his apprentice. Perhaps he has realized, along with the rest of us, who had our noses pushed against the glass to get a glimpse of the train wreck, that there is nothing to see.

Although, we will hand it to the maniacal magician -- whose $2 million per episode career went poof along with any legal repercussions for the naked stripper locked in his hotel closet -- for keeping his musings on the front page of every tabloid and gossip column as long as he did.

But what now for the actor who seems to have run out of quippy one-liners and the full attention of his fellow glassy-eyed pretend pundits? If we don Sheen's warlock hat for a moment and look into our crystal ball we see a series of 'wacky uncle' sitcom guest spots or a Viagra-like endorsement deal but anything more doesn't seem to be in the cards for the man who represents just that.

The sun has risen in the house of Sheen and at just as steep an incline, has fallen just the same -- we just don't know whether to rejoice or start the grieving process.

I will be quite happy when the name Charlie Sheen is gone forever! And judging from this article and others I have seen in the recent past, we haven't long to go until it is. I have a feeling that soon, everyone will be saying "Charlie Who?" It would be nice too if we heard no more from the trampy Kardashians, Justin Bieber (what does this kid do anyway, except look like a girl?), Lindsay Lohan, Brittany Spears, and a dozen or so others. These people are totally uninteresting and have no talent.

My goodness...if we got rid of all those you love to hate...you'd have to actually go find something productive to do with your morning.

Sheen is a Has Been alright,never liked him

By Polar Patrol

Uh, a little premature PopEater. As much as I hate Sheen, Lionsgate Television just signed a 10-episode deal with him (and if successful, which I hope it's not, they'll order more).

Are we finally done with this show?

By Mr. G

That's what happens when your ego is bigger than life itself! You would think he would realize this world of ours does not revolve around him. He is not the only "pony" with talent in this race! Things can change overnight. First your money then your house, then your "honey" and your spouse! You can't say he wasn't warned!

By The Man

About time this dog and pony show is over! And so is your career Charlie! I mean "Carlos"! You can always pick strawberries up in Oxnard!
