The Sins of Charlie Sheen: Why Does Hollywood Keep Hiring Him?
by Ellen KarisI think that Charlie Sheen, the uber-talented actor — as he’s described by many in Hollywood — who leaped on to the scene as an money-hungry, woman carousing, cocktail drinking young lad in the movie Wall Street and then went on be one of the highest paid sitcom stars today portraying a millionaire (fast-forward to money earned), woman carousing, cocktail drinking older lad, has been given a lifetime pass of deplorable behavior that boggles my mind every time I see his updated mug shot. Being a sitcom star used to require a certain amount of decorum. Most stars tried to keep the arrests down to minimum. Can you imagine if Bill Cosby, Tony Danza, Henry Winkler or my favorite Ed O’Neill, had the kind of rap sheet that Carlos Irwin Estevez has? I guarantee that they would have never been hired.
In 2000, when Michael J. Fox was forced to depart from the sitcom “Spin City,” his replacement was Charlie Sheen. I remember thinking to myself, Charlie Sheen in a sitcom? Since when is he even remotely funny, and wasn’t he arrested for breaking his girlfriend’s nose — not to mention a spending spree at Heidi Fleiss’ house, shooting Kelly Preston in the arm, and trips in and out of rehab for hard drugs and alcohol?
Forgetting the moral issues for a second — although alcohol and prostitutes are in a little bit of a different category than punching your fiancee in the face — doesn’t someone like this pose a financial risk since Hollywood, like any other business, revolves itself around gross income?
Then in 2003, the epitome of “We Don’t Care About No Stinkin Laws” happened when Charlie was given his own sitcom that has now gone into syndication, which in Charlie’s money-terms means, prostitutes all day all the time! In the between all of this, he married and had two kids with actress Denise Richards — and we all know how that ended. I will spare Denise just a little bit. I really don’t think at the end of the day she had thought that being married to him was going to be her own version of Wild Things. But my goodness, his dirty laundry is public record so the “I am a girl from the Midwest” line just doesn’t cut it.
Denise’s divorce deposition was a laundry list of physical and emotional abuse, as well as gambling and child pornography. Even if a tenth of what she said was true, do we really want this man as a part of the few sitcom choices we have these days? I’m around a lot of stand-up comedy. You can walk into any of the major New York City comedy clubs and find comics who are very funny, original, talented, have paid their dues twenty-fold and that can do a better job and not be such a liability to a network and society.
So why does Hollywood keep rewarding this man? Every instance of this man being with a woman ends up with him in court and an endless amount of restraining orders. Some may think the women aren’t very bright but there is a pattern here whether you like Brooke Mueller or not. Furthermore, the majority of most jobs in the private sector would have had him fired before he could say “Hot Shots.” But for some reason he’s rarely unemployed.
What makes him carry on this inexcusable behavior—he is 44 years old, so the my parents didn’t pay attention to me excuse doesn’t hold water. If anything, his father—Martin Sheen—has been a huge proponent of his career and was the major connection that got him into films in the first place. He grew up in privileged Malibu, went to high school in Santa Monica and was friends with Sean Penn and Rob Lowe — although he was expelled and never graduated, which may have been the first clue.
Why bother writing this article? Because this man has one adult daughter and 4 children under the age of 6, and a brand new Christmas Day arrest. It sends waves of O.J. Simpson through the air and these stories usually have the same ending where one person is not on this earth anymore. If Charlie’s father, Martin—there isn’t a left wing liberal protest that I don’t like—Sheen, truly loves and cares about his son, he will get him as much professional help as possible and have him learn a trade. And the industry should take a stand and declare that this behavior—which is beyond tolerant — is not acceptable.
Message to all talent scouts: Spend a week going to Comedy Clubs and Improv shows in New York City. You’ll find his replacement and they will be grateful. No mess, just laughs, I assure you.

Did Sheen ever get that face to face meeting with Obama to discuss the "9/11 cover-up"? http://www.usnews.com/blogs/peter-roff/2009/09/09...
We all know opposition to GWB absolves one from any moral flaws.
Quite honestly, I don't care about an actors personal life for the most part. The behavior sounds vile, but I enjoy him as an actor, and at the end of the day that's the factor that holds the most weight in my film/TV choices. Choosing films/TV based on ethical/moral concerns of a particular individual involved doesn't make too much sense for me. On any one production, there is most likely at least one terrible human being, either amongst the actors, crew or marketing department. It would be impossible to be consistent. There are some artists who I may have trouble supporting in any conceivable way, and I'll skip their films, but in general I think it's important to realize that if 1 in 100 people is a psychopath, there is at least one despicable person involved in any – and every – film. Personally Charlie Sheen doesn't cut it for me, but I can surely see why he would for others.
amen!
Actually, Charlie lept to stardom after Platoon in 1986. Wall Street came a year later,
also directed by Oliver Stone and co-starring John McGinley, who was Sgt. O'Neil in Platoon.
Well, if he manages to get himself sent away for a few years, which I gather is a distinct possibility, he'll be out of work for at least a little bit, aside from making license plates that is. As for why people keep hiring him? We are talking about the town that doesn't think drugging and raping a 13-year-old is such a big deal after all.
They all get a pass because they are all in the 'Hollywood Mob' this is a racket to promote this lifestyle from the 60s that morphs into what we have today. Charlie is a half ass actor and if his Dad was Ralph Sheen from Detroit we would not be discussing him right now. He is the son of a leftist movie star, he himself is a whack job leftist 9 11 truther. They all get a pass because the left has no standards of behavior. They live like pigs, their films are about pigs, you lie down in garbage you come up smelling like a pig.
They want Roman to walk free from a fugitive charge, after all he is an artist and his art is much more important than sodomizing a 13 year old girl who looked 20. Didn't Hitler feel he was an artist that was rejected??
So Charlie boy can pull out a knife and threaten his wife, doesn't she know those kids are his and not hers??? At least in the old days of film stars behaving badly they had panache, today they are nothing but low life trash with money. As the old saying goes, we get what we pay for….
You could be on to something, in hollywood I imagine that is the closest thing you can get to an "Out fo Jail Free" card.
Why does Hollyweird keep on hiring him? Because they know and understand him . He is Them.
You didn't even mention his endless truther rants since 9-11–he uses his fame to spout his idiotic vitriole. So the message that the networks send by continuing to employ him is "We don't hold our employees to any sort of a behavior standard; we don't even care if they express beliefs that our viewers might find offensive." I don't know about you, but I would be fired from my job for any one of these infractions. Just shows what money whores the networks are. It's appalling.
For a long time, I was the only person out there with a book about the Sheens. There was a lot I couldn't put in that book for a young audience. At one point, both Charlie and Emilio had the mothers of their children living at Martin and Janet's house with the kids while Charlie and Emilio played the town. When Court (now Tru) TV did a special on Charlie they interviewed me and asked about the Heidi Fleiss business. I said, well, at least Charlie owned up to spending $35,000 – I don't think any of the other stars or Hollywood execs in town did.
What you have to understand about Charlie (and this excuses nothing) is that he is at heart a JOCK. He is a failed baseball player – that's what he really wanted to do and it crushed him he wasn't good enough. He thinks like an ath-a-lete and behaves the same way. Watch how he walks some time – it's a baseball strut. He thinks as long as he plays the good-at-heart bad boy and entertains people, he can kind of get away with anything.
I don't think it will work this time. He's kind of at the "we're sick of this" mode in the public mind. Which is too bad for Chuck Lorre and Jon Cryer (a conservative) and the others – they really do have the most entertaining show on television.
Might be time to hand up the cleats, Charles.
I used to think that he used acting skills in Hot Shots Part Deaux.
Didn't the studio executives of the 1930s hire people to cover up some of the excesses of their stars' personal lives? Wasn't it, in that era, a part of what it meant to do business in Hollywood, to cover-up some of their behavior so it didn't get out, thinking the bad publicity about the stars behavior would hurt box office?

[...] See the full article from “Big Hollywood (blog)” [...]
They are all a bunch of brain dead perverts in that place, so what is wrong with Charlie being different??
good actor, fair baseball player, and one of life's losers…
Forget the $$ he makes. They will soon disappear. He then will be the 50 year old pathetic former child actor on vodka and viagra saying 'Hey babe, I'm Charlie Sheen ('Who?') wanna go back to my place'…
Sad, sad, and sadder…
[...] WELL, IT’S NOT LIKE HE’S A REPUBLICAN OR ANYTHING: Ellen Karis: Why Does Hollywood Keep Hiring Charlie Sheen? [...]
I like Charlie and his show, but there's no excuse for this action. I would think some jail time would be warranted. Nevertheless, the only surprise I have is that a Hollywood liberal actually owns a knife–that might be enough to get him on a Hollywood black list.
oh please, go take a Pill!
Everyone loves Charlie!
They who are without sin throw the first AA card.
"If Charlie’s father, Martin—there isn’t a left wing liberal protest that I don’t like—Sheen, truly loves and cares about his son, he will get him as much professional help as possible and have him learn a trade."
The way I understand it, his father turned him in when he violated his parole by skipping out on rehab.
Women love this guy. Go onto TMZ, or Dlisted, or any other site dominated by female posters, they can't get enough of his bad-boy behavior. Women just LOVE the bad boys. Always have, always will. The worse his behavior is, the more women love him. If he had been a boring, workaday, reliable, decent guy like say, James Whitmore's son (a character actor and director), he'd be at best obscure and working but without much attention. If he had no scandal and so on, he'd be a support cast member in "How I Met Your Mother."
Because TV is a female-gay ghetto, and female viewers make up around 80% of sitcom viewers, his bad boy behavior will make him even MORE popular. His bad-boy rep is precisely WHY Richards married him, his latest wife married him, and like Tiger Woods this latest scandal only makes him more popular.
Drew Peterson, before his arrest, had tons of college coeds all over him. Because he was famous and bad. Heck Polanski does not lack for many female defenders and admirers, including French First Lady Carla Bruni. The petitions to "free Roman Polanski" are choc-a-bloc with famous actresses, including Natalie Portman and Emma Thompson and Tilda Swinton.
So no, I expect no fallout for Charlie Sheen. Heck he's even more popular now. This is just the way it is. Women love bad boys, and will excuse anything they do.
I never cry 'racism', but in this case, I think Tiger got more of a backlash because of the color of his skin. Charlie gets a pass (for a much worse crime) because he's white. He's us.
Disgusting.
A hit Sit-com is like catching lighting in a bottle. Being #1, Hollywood will pay any amount of money to get one of those. The cost of a few marriages, or a few 13 year old children, or the loss of one 40 year old actor. This is not much to Hollywood.
Follow the money. The Money. You ask why? Follow the money. You look for a reason. There is no deep dark secret.
He is a hero of the leftist crowd – rich, unaccountable, famous family, beats women, does drugs – of course he will always be employed. Leftists really like men who beat women, so long as those doing the beating are also leftists. Child porn? Why, that's just the next wave of liberation to be worked on. Keep Charlie working – that's what really matters.
FWIW Martin Sheen is also a committed pro lifer.
His current show, 2-1/2 Men, is a nonstop array of explicit jokes about sex, drinking, sex, farts, sex, obscenity and the celebration of narcissism. Apparently aimed at adolescent males, but these days you never know. Why would anyone be surprised that the people who make this show would not even notice, let alone care about, the kind of personal life he lives?
as long as carlos, er chuckie's show keeps bringing in the ratings, cbs will look the other way, other then say rape or murder, he will get away with this horrible behavior. he is the uber-bad boy, which so many women find attractive while nice, decent guys like myself are left on the sidelines. women love him becuase they thinnk they can change him into what they think he should be. baby snakes are cute too, but many of them have vemon and are ready to strike at the right time……..
Don't you wish that dad's activism would have included raising good kids? Less glamorous, I know, but infinitely more rewarding.
So Skip, where have you been? You should be writing posts!
Gimme a break, what a stupid ass remark. Tiger got a backlash because no one saw it coming. He was a golden boy with no hint of the idiocy to come. Sheen has always been a drucken, drug addicted,, wife beating looser. No surprise there it was just a matter of time when the next inane act would come.
Hollywood hires him because he gives ratings. He comes across as a likable guy on the small screen. As long as he delivers ratings, they will keep hiring him.
It doesn't hurt that he is "one of them", the ultimate insider, and has all the right political views.
Get used to it.
You mean not being different. Ayup, no story here.
Could be a Robert Blake episode in his future.
that would sure fit, wouldn't it?
And by the way it is somewhat likely that Tiger will reform himself, because he is smart enough to know how to behave in public, and has enough self discipline to act the same in private if he chooses to. I am guessing he is genuinely embarrassed, though I might be giving him too much credit.
As for Charlie, expectations are zero. No brains, no discipline, no consequences, no reason to change.
And by the way he most certainly is not us. Hardly even the same species.
Looks like ole Charlie was type cast as Rick Vaughn in "Major League" & wasn't really acting in that part. Only thing he's in that I'll watch because his acting screams, "if I wasn't Martin Sheen's son I'd be in a crack den." Yeah, his acting is that bad.
excellent post
No enemies to the left, comrades!
And no criminals, either.
C'mon, mike d, don't forget Red Dawn?
Nitpickin' with Ellen aside, she's dead-on, and God forbid any of his co-stars have a man-to-man with him (I envision Angus T. Jones being more mature), or even Warner Bros. or CBS hold this guy responsible. Eh, who am I kidding? I smell a guilt-trip laden pre-end credits PSA from Charlie on the horizon.
Tiger sold himself as a virtuous product. He never pushed himself as a "race" either so your point is moot.
Okay, let me spell it out:
White male
Box office/Network TV high-earner
Bad-boy attraction (to some female neanderthals)
What do you get? A pass.
Compare this to the (deserved) outcry that Chris Rock got.
I stand by my point – and you'd be alot more persuasive, Hypno, if you made your point without calling those with other opinions 'stupid ass' – language usually used by 11 year old boys in school playgrounds.
Your remark was just that. Stoooooopid assssss! Besides reading your reply there is no making any point so that you would get it. And anyone who starts a point by saying I never cry racist is usually nothing more then a race bater.
For example, I don't usually cry race bater, but. Well you get the idea. Don't you???
Women are our own worst enemy. >.>
I'm not saying you're wrong, but ugh. Women who chase after bad boys are too dumb for sympathy in my book.
Charlie Sheen has the advantage of low expectations. Nobody was surprised that Charlie Sheen got arrested. Not like he has a clean cut image or that the image of the characters he plays are going to suffer from that mug shot. Might affect his Hanes contract, but he's still a believable actor for drunken womanizer immature man roles.
That would be some women. There are many idiotic women and men; let them have each other and leave the rest of us out of it.
Friends from Santa Monica say Carlos was not a half bad ball player. His father has tried to help him, but Charlie will have to do the hard work himself. Until then he will continue to create havoc for himself and those around him. There are AA & NA meetings all over Los Angeles where people will treat him just like any other drunk or addict. All he has to do is walk in the door and ask for help. No show biz, B.S., just a way to a new life. His father is wrong on politics, but I feel for him here.
I don't find Sheen appealing in any way, shape, or form. He's for women who are losers and there;s a lot of them. And the entertainment industry is the perfect place for losers to succeed.
Now, I am not defending what Tiger Woods has done, but considering how much he has been raked over the coals by the media, professional golf and his sponsors, I don't think it's fair for Charlie Sheen to get a free pass on this one.
Tiger Woods wasn't arrested. Charlie Sheen was. Yet whose Hanes commercial was running during football this past Sunday?
I've never seen 2.5 Men but friends think it's great.
I wouldn't walk across the street to see this wife beating piece of crap.
Chris Rock? I don't even know what you're talking about so the outcry must not have been all that bad.
Tiger, as others have said, came off as very straight laced. Everybody loved Tiger Woods. Conservatives loved Tiger Woods. Ergo … his fall is a lot harder and much more luscious to the deviants in the media.
Charlie Sheen has always been a 'bad boy' so he's not behaving in any way that is all that unexpected. It's actually almost boring. Same old, same old.
White/black has nothing to do with it unless your obsessed with race, which you, despite your protests seem to be.
Now what's this gossip on Chris Rock? I never heard it.
Watch Major League again. His pitching form is hands down the best I've seen from an actor. Most have no idea how to convincingly throw a baseball. Remember Obama's attempt.
But I digress. The guy is still a lowlife. Quite the contrast between the public reactions to him and Tiger Woods.
I've never understood the draw of Charlie Sheen. I don't find him attractive or overwhelmingly talented. I thought his brother was a better actor, but unfortunately he had the jones to write/direct. Not sure about his directing, but his writing … oh my.
I wonder if he would lose his Hanes contract if it came out he was wearing Fruit of the Looms while he was holding a knife to his wife's neck.
Indeed, I thought he looked very convincing in that movie. My ballplaying skills have always been severely lacking, but his are definitely recognizable.
Skippress is right on with the Jock.
The old stars also had morality clauses put into their contracts by the studios. If they violated this clause by demonstrating offensive conduct in public, they were dropped like hot potatoes. While many of the bigger stars certainly had violations covered by the studio hench men, this clause undoubtedly reigned in a lot of behavior that otherwise could have ended a star's career.
Charlie Sheen would never have lasted.
Too bad he doesn't vote accordingly.
Tosses AA card right at him and embedds it in his skull.
Ok, who's second in line?
A Fruit of the Loom Wife-Beater T-Shirt.
Great form or not, Carlos probably never got over the fact that his five-foot-six genetics unfairly kept him from competing at a professional level- so acting was the natural choice for guys like him and Tom Cruise and so many other name actors: Short guys with disproportionally large physical head size= great screen presence.
Charlie Sheen will never have the chance to perform the screen role that he could shine in.
I refer, of course, to playing O.J. Simpson.
Blame it on a simple twist of fate …
"Women just LOVE the bad boys."
From my experiences I would change that sentance just a little bit. GIRLS love the bad boys (at least until after they marry them and then discover what they really bought). WOMEN love men who treat them right and love them truly.
but then they breed… like rabbits.
He SHOT Kelly Preston and he is still working!
More to the point, why does Hanes keep running those creepy commercials of him trying to show his underwear to Michael Jordan?
I mean, Tiger Woods gets whacked with a golf club from his wife and loses his sponsorships. What could possibly cause anyone to think a commercial of a guy who beat and shot his wives stalking MJ would make me more likely to buy their product? Especially a week after his antics are all over the front pages. Again.
Boycott Hanes. Go commando if you have to.
Please, don't rush to judgement. Charlie's wife acted stupidly.
Actually, I realize now they could simply adjust their campaign accordingly. "He wouldn't have been driven to spousal abuse if he'd have been wearing Hanes."
Fruit of the Loom needs to jump on that.
Charlie Sheen's show, 2.5 men, survives thanks to the fractured nature of today's viewership.
Honestly, watching the show once is no different than watching it over and over which means seeing one episode is like having watched them all. My sense of humor is pretty random, appreciating the gamut of what's out there. Sheen's show is not funny after the first several 'the man is a pig' jokes. If I want to watch a docudrama on Sheen the man, I'll wait for the genuine article.
I lusted for Sheen in the 80's. Then I grew up and found out what a pig he was. He just makes me feel old and quesy now.
[...] more from the original source: The Sins of Charlie Sheen: Why Does Hollywood Keep Hiring Him? This entry is filed under America – Blogs, Big Hollywood. You can follow any responses to this [...]
Why are you concerned about Hollywood paying attention to him and not why WOMEN are paying attention to him? Take it out on your fellow women who continue to encourage people like Sheen. But my tax dollars shouldn't be wasted dealing with the situation YOU WOMEN create by rewarding morons like this with pu$$y.
I'm sorry Ms. Karis (Very good summation of CS's career by the way) but you are one of the
main reasons the left including most of Hollywood hates conservatism, you and your holier than thou
judgements. His only fault as far as the ratings go will be if he is forced into rehab by some waco
righty Judge and misses a few shows. That should not be a problem as there are few of those in this state anyway. Once we, the left, get proper control of the Supreme Court you will find your type of type of journalism
rarer than freebie night at the Bunny ranch. unless you see the light and change your attitude. Come on in, the waters fine. Murkier than Hefners hot tub but theres room for you. Ask for me, Mr. Scratch
Its possible they deserve, each other,( tho I'm not sure thats a valid statement for anyone to hear)
but threatening to kill one or the other is not a "deserved" it issue, even drunk. I get your point tho.
Mistake correction: Chris Brown. He got a big backlash – which he deserved – but Charlie Sheen does not. Yeah, I think that Charlie being white helps, as well as him making money for others. Sorry, I'm not a race baiter (check your spelling Mr 'stoopid asssss' – its not 'bater')
I was making a backhanded swipe at the President who said "don't rush to judgement" about the fort hood shooter and also said the police officer "acted stupidly" when he arrested Barak's buddy for breaking into his own home. Sorry for the confusion.
p.s. Charlie Sheen is an idiot and should do time for his crimes. (I do like 2 and 1/2 men though)
I'm writing my own stuff, Cranky. Check me on Facebook some time. Had three books come out this year. I don't fault Martin too much except for his lack of criticial thinking skills as in being too lenient. He would make his kids go work the homeless lines feeding people lunches at downtown shelters. He and those kids and Janet were homeless once in New York City, can you imagine? There's a lot I like about all of them, but Charlie has now gone out to lunch and puked in the kitchen. Too bad, that's what Democrat true believing gets you.
The Tiger thing is much different because he went to great pains and spent a lot of money – trained by his daddy – to cover up his real character. Charlie's never really given a damn, which isn't laudable but he's always been more honest.
Forget about Hollywood not hiring Sheen because of his reprehensible character (he sounds like a white Tiger Woods) why do they hire him for his acting abilities, when he has none?
Well, perhaps this will be the straw that breaks the back of the audience-camel, and he will be persona non grata forever after.
But what a waste. He could have had it all…he *had* it all, and like so many other people he just threw it all away.
That's very funny. Sean Penn has a concealed carry permit for a gun. He's a buddy of Charlie, been on the show I think more than once.
That's a good point. Michael Jordan has chased as much skirt as Charlie. I mean, lifted as much skirt. They're both skanky.
I was once in a prolife commercial with him. His liberal record just doesn't jive.
I'm sorry as well, you have to have a just bit of intelligence to understand
sarcasm, I come up just a bit short.
I would hazzard a guess that the only way Mr. Sheen would be released from his contract would be if he actually killed his current wife or one of his former wives. Hollywood would, in response, tell itself that he didn't really mean to hurt them, (manslaughter), or that it happened in self defense, (playing the victim trying to prevent them from taking him to the cleaners with the next pre-nup). In any case it would be entertaining to see what type of excuses they come up with to "save" his career.
No problem. I was out on a limb with my post anyway. Have a Happy New Year!
Yes and at 500 grand an episode and in negotiations for an increase, we'll see
how that turns out, he has a lot to throw away
I'm not sure if I get your "waco righty judge" comment. This guy is a serial wife abuser and somehow he might be the victim? Since we're judging others political beliefs I have a question. Why is the left always screaming about the rights of women but when one of these leftist thugs abuses a woman you guys are nowhere to be found. Charlie's wife is the only victim here!
What a silly question to ask about a community that has a history of vociferously supporting and/or celebrating all manner of bad behavior and criminals, including child-rapists… rhetorical question, I suppose.
Clearly the industry could care less about his outside activities, as long as he brings in the viewers, which equals ratings, which equals money.____IF his outside activities affected those ratings….well then they might be concerned and horrified about such abberant behavior….but then again there are those who apparently don't consider that activity aberrant in tinseltown.____
Ok, we are even, I was being sarcastic as well. Lame arguments
from the left are there to be made fun of. And Charlie doubles the pleasure.
Mr Scratch is the Devil in The Devil and Daniel Webster and led the farmer astray if you saw the film
I thought of adding sarc. to the comment but neglected to.
I love when people who agree argue. We better quit while we're ahead.
Now I must make amends for the , it takes intelligence to understand sarcasm,
That was meant for me, I not only don't get it, I can't express it properly either.
Tomorrow will be a better day I'm sure.
"I think that Charlie Sheen, the uber-talented actor — as he’s described by many in Hollywood — who leaped on to the scene as an money-hungry, woman carousing, cocktail drinking young lad in the movie Wall Street and then went on be one of the highest paid sitcom stars today portraying a millionaire (fast-forward to money earned), woman carousing, cocktail drinking older lad, has been given a lifetime pass of deplorable behavior that boggles my mind every time I see his updated mug shot."
That's a ROFLOL opening sentence!
And then they have the nerve to turn around and accuse men of always thinking with their genitalia.
Not like Tiger, admittedly a bad husband, shot elin, even "accidentally". Konda had to put 14 lbs.+ of pressure into a handgun's trigger at the exact moment it's pointed at a woman's arm. 360 degrees every way, and it hits Kelly Preston's arm accidently. Really?
I would argue that, as evidenced by the continuing popularity of American Idol and similar content-free fluff, the vast majority of women in this country are in fact emotionally stunted girlish types.
Bill Hicks was right about one thing — chicks dig jerks.
No amends needed. I'd be lying if I said I have a great command of the art that is sarcasm. I can dish it but sometimes I miss it when it is right in front of me.
And of course tomorrow will be better! [sarc.]
GIMME A BREAK !!!! That ALWAYS comes up, WHY??? Woods put on a persona of a clean cut sort……sheen is now and will forever be a DIRTBAG!!!! If anything, skin color gets one a break in the media….(bho)
Sheen is a burned out 'ex' drug addict. The 'white lady' was his drug of choice. The demon dog is biting at his soul. He may be in need on a exorcist. Someone call a priest, get some holy water and a Bible.
I saw the show once (not even all of it) and I thought where did the Cosby Show go? Now that was hilarious without crude, rude, sex and fart jokes. Even Cheers and Night Court were less crass and juvenile. Chalk this up to the continual dumbing down of American entertainment.
You could replace him with a bowl of tomatoes with subtitles and have the same effect. His face doesn't even move unless he's acting like he's drunk.
Okay, so it was Chris Brown. Again. Big difference between him and Charlie Sheen. I was AT the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards two years ago when Brown won a category. He came up on stage with two little kids like Mr. Sweet Stuff. Then, less than 24 months later, he beat the crap out of Rihanna, another teen favorite. There's a STORY there. And besides, neither he nor Rihanna is out of work. He's already testing the waters. He'll be back in the game in no time — edgier and after a new audience, but definitely back.
You seem to be the only one unable to see past skin color. Charlie Sheen, business as usual. These other guys — dismantling their family-friendly hype in one fell swoop. It's the difference between a story with no legs and a couple of octopi. Got it?
THANK YOU! I married a Nice Guy. Love him more each day. We will be having our 20th anniversary in May of 2010
