So is Charlie Sheen off his rocker?

[Captain_Mego]

yeah that could be true too JW. I feel sorry for the guy because instead of getting him help they are just going to chronical and cash in on his demise. Its sad really. I have a close friend that suffers from schizophrenia and it is a disease.If it goes unchecked it can get way out of hand. The meds have really helped him have somewhat of a normal life and keep a good job. Without them he is a mess.

I really don't think he's putting on an act. I am only familiar with the symptoms because I have a loved one suffering with a mental illness and have spent quite a bit of time in support groups and attended a pretty intensive 12 week course on mental illness (types, symptoms, causes, etc). It is really difficult for those of us who don't have any type of mental illness to relate (similar to trying to relate to what it feels like to being addicted to drugs if you have never experienced it). Drugs, stress, and many other things can set the disease into high gear. The unfortunate statistic is that the majority of people suffering from untreated mental illness usually have significantly shorter life spans than those without. The good news is that a lot of money is going into medical research to come up with medications that do work and those suffering can live relatively normal lives.

Of course he's putting on an act. He's manipulating the whole
media/country... I've seen enough David Lee Roth and Charles Manson
interviews to feel confident in this assessment.

It's been kind of entertaining, and then you're reminded he's a serial abuser of women. The Disposable Woman - NYTimes.com

I'm confident David Lee Roth suffers from mental illness and I don't think there is any question that Charles Manson does. Manipulation is a characteristic of mental illness but not in and of itself. It's the pattern of behaviors that make me think mental illness is at play.

AND HE'S OUTTA THERE! Warner Bros. has fired Sheen from "Two and a Half Men"...Let the legal battle between the big corporation and the Fire-Fisted Vatican Assassin Warlock begin

[Random Axe]

Yeah, he's completely gone. I don't see him living past 2011 at this point.

I understand John Stamos is in negotiations to replace him. The show is pretty darn funny. It'll be interesting to see if it's the writers or Sheen's delivery.

my money is on the writers ... it's like they wright the kind of person sheen is so he didn't have to act.

I think it's the writers/producers also....Same people are behind Big Bang Theory and that's funny as hell without Charlie Sheen....

[ScottA]

Think they'll kill Uncle Charlie off and leave Alan and Jake all his money?

Think they'll kill Uncle Charlie off and leave Alan and Jake all his money?

I haven' watched the show in a long while but here's the scenario I'd write...

Charlie get's killed in a freak "donkey show" accident. After the mourning is over (oh the funny things that can be said in THOSE eulogies). Next we cut to the reading of the will we find out that Charlie in a moment of drunken, drug induced delusion, he wrote the stalker chick (forgot her name) a note saying that if something were to happen to him she could have it all. In a flashback moment we see that there happened to be a drunken lawyer walking the beach who walked by and notarized it.

So now stolker chick owns everything and as a memorial has a cardboard cut out of Charlie placed on the back patio staring off into the sunset.

[jp1969]

I dont watch sitcoms at all,and I havent seen Charlie in anything since young guns.(Yeah,been living in a cave)
Saw him the other night in an interview.
Damn he is looking haggard!
Celebrity life is not for everybody it seems.
Some let it go to their heads.(Or up their noses!)

[Nostalgiabuff]

it's sad because the guy really is a talented actor and he is throwing it all away. aside from the disatrous marriages he has had, he has young children who will grow up knowing what a train wreck he was. the man really needs help and the media is just feeding on his mania, without regard for his mental state, just so they can get ratings.

[UnderdogDJLSW]

What a shame about him. Hopefully, he gets the help that he needs somehow or else the alternative is a pretty gruesome future.

As for the show, I predict that Jon Cryer and the kid who is no longer a kid wind up having to take care of a small child, hence the re-boot of the "half" in two and a half.

[MIB41]

What a complete career collapse. To go from the top paid television actor and number one comedy to unemployed and unwanted by most in Hollywood. That's breath taking to observe. Better take one last snort 'rock star'...The crows are circling over head.
