Charlie Sheen

Well, I heard that he threatened to cut one of his kids heads off with a penknife. Probably while high.

There is also an audio clip, of him telling the mother of the boys

"I will cut your head off, put it in a box, and mail it to your mother"

That probably did him no favors...and one day, those boys will have easy access to hearing what he said to 'mommy' on internet.

(not directly related to his parenting per say, but shows his character)
 
The media are just as bad as everyone is so proud of their exclusive interview with a man going nuts. Sports talk radio puts him on because he once played a pitcher in a movie now everyone is giving him 15 more minutes. Its just sick, since it is real it is sicker then Springer.

You can't get mad at a cobra when it bites someone or a shark when it attacks...it's just what they do. Its in their nature.
 
A point of clarification:

The drug test in question wasn't done by any show. He pulled the "results" out of his coat pocket when he was on CNN with Piers Morgan a couple of days ago.

And finally, for any of you too young or too "pure of thought and deed", if you are wondering what a junkie looks like. watch that 20/20 interview.

I laugh, and then I remember the kids involved, and I stop......
 
I really think so...He's out of his mind when he did it. No one can ever do such thing when he's normal and in control of one self. As Invalid Link Removed went on a rant throughout a radio interview, and that rant has cost him a job. Sheen spoke to the Jones radio show and went on a tear about his boss, Chuck Lorre. Studios heads were not amused, and “Two and a Half Men” has been ended for the rest of this season.

getting canned for bitching out a supervisor at wallyworld would be a tad unsettling,but for a guy with a bankroll like sheen's i'm surprised he didn't do it years ago......tv is a grind and getting out with millions at a relatively young age to live the life of reilly does not seem like such a bad plan.....the more i see on tv the more rational he seems to be......it's the tabloid tv folks that need to make loony mountains out of molehills to justify the sleazy way they make a living that appear crazy to me.....
 
Carlie is just being Charlie, just like he's been doing for the last 20 years.
People are starting to (finally) get a little fed up with him and he's getting the unfavorable spotlight treatment but, I don't see any reason to start digging his grave.

If somebody out there thinks they can make a buck off of him as he is, somebody will tolerate him as he is.

He's not half as nuts as Robert Downey Jr. was when he was nuts. Everybody loves him now.

IMHO

Please don't construe any of that as being in defense of his personal style. My gut feeling is that he should have been dealt with 20 years ago more so than tolerated now.
