Sheen, "voluntarily enters rehab center"

[Doug Drexler]

I speak from experience. As you can imagine, I was never happy about being commanded to start with the Akira. Ultimately though, I was very happy with the way Herman and I made it work. I've always felt that Star Trek was a period piece. I always approached it that way, and I still feel that way. It's just my opinion that Trek should be treated like real history. I guess I'm entitled to that, friend Dennis, just as Gep is entitled to point out my flawed thought processes. What the quote leaves out is that I also said that Trek is sci-fi, and by it's very nature should be twisted and stretched in every direction.

I rather liked what Craig Ferguson had to say on the subject a few days ago.

Recasting with Emilio... That could work. Their voices are somewhat similar, aren't they?

I just reread my previous post and holy crap, I butchered the grammar in that, didn't I?

Send me some of your work. Love to see it.

Whoo-hoo, all the cool people are showing up here. Like with Probert and Sternbach, apparently saying your names over and over again summons you guys.

And no point in sending you my work again; you've already seen (some of) it. Besides, if I do, we'll probably just fall into a stable time loop, and I'll take the wrong bus again, and end up arriving an hour late for the job interview...again... it'll be a mess. (Though while we're on the subject, I guess I could point you to this thread – which you also saw a couple of years back, though I didn't bring it up when we met.)

Charlie Sheen is now doing interviews in which he goes "I can't answer that, I have been told not to answer that". He really just likes hearing his own voice. I don't care if he is mental, if someone is telling you not to talk, then don't call up TV shows to talk.

He used to be funny, now he is just annoying.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Well there's the inevitable progression for you.

 

[the 4th hanson bro]

I've now watched the entire 20/20 interview.

I must say at this point, it seems a little less funny. Just a little.

The man needs some serious help.

I watched it with my wife. She asked what the over/under was on him making it to 2012.

Ebert VS Sheen!

Ebert VS Sheen!

I'm starting to think the only way we will win is if he's dead. Honestly, someone needs to tell him to just shut the hell up!

When Charlie gets throat cancer and almost dies how many of those five woman will be next to him like Ebert's lovely wife was?

Plus Charlie, I can have 10 women, I just don't have the money to waste on that.

Ebert should know better than joining the Sheen-bashing, though.


That's why I have so much respect for Craig Ferguson. This guy knows exactly when to stop.

Freedom of speech, Charlie loves his freedom of speech when it's good for him.

I too love Craig.

Craig Ferguson didn't make fun of him is because there are no more jokes to be said, what Charlie says speaks for itself. Like he said there are worst things to complain about, like the horrible Emmy's that weren't really worst than normal.

Craig has made fun of crazy people before, but when they cross a line he knows not to, He did the same thing for Spears after she went nutty for a bit. He has a drugged out drunk for 15 years, so why make fun of someone who you used to be like?

No one wins not even Charlie and his "Winning" motto


The last thing I want is 6 months of MJ/Anna Nicole after death media coverage

"How they died?"

"What did they do before they died?"

"Who were they with?"

"Autopsy results IN!"


Dead or alive, they're a nuisance.

 

[bigdaddy]

I don't have cable, so I avoid most of the news. Anna Nicole Shit was insane. President Ford died around the same time and no one gave a fuck, the news was always about some whore.

My apologies Doug, I didn't think my signature would cause a problem...

Sadly, that only proves how alone Sheen really is...

I caught about five minutes of Howard Stern on Kimmel last night (because on Thursdays WGN runs WWE wrestling instead of South Park) and as he talked about his Sheen interview it became clear that he thought he'd played Sheen - telling Charlie that he could "tell his story" to a sympathetic listener because Howard, too, had faced CBS in court. "Basically, I lied," Howard said. He appears to find Sheen pathetic, recounting how he got Sheen to relate the details of his sleeping arrangements with the "goddesses" and then saying "sympathetically" to Kimmel "Poor girls, can you imagine that coming at you?"

The studio audience laughed, and Kimmel volunteered "could be worse, could be Hefner," which they found even funnier.

I like Stern and have no interest in Kimmel at all, but I was a little startled at how dismissive Stern was of Sheen after cheering him on through that radio interview. It's true that the media people who are giving Charlie a platform are doing so for the opportunity to mock the town idiot in the village square.

Mocking the town idiot has become a past time of TV now. From Jerry Springer on (and perhaps there were those before him) broadcasters have found ratings bonanzas from public tomfoolery. Sometimes I think one can easily make a comparison with the Roman arena. It started as a way of executing those that the society saw as polluted and vile. The popularity over time made celebrities of the gladiators and other participants but destruction was still the desire for those in the arena. Now we use mockery and ridicule rather than swords but the purpose is the same, feeding the polluted to the paparazzi lions.

I'm watching Charlie on Piers Morgan and he actually sounds competent and intelligent in the interview. It's actually quite fascinating.
