Has the Charlie Sheen saga finally reached it’s tipping point? It may have, but let’s give it at least one more look and see where the Warlock stands as we head into this fresh new week.
— The biggest news coming out of the Team Sheen this weekend was his effort to put out a Web cast called “Sheen’s Korner.” The first episode on Saturday night started strong with around 120,000 viewers only to grind to a dead halt losing hundreds of viewers by the second. However, it is being reported that overall the show was seen by a total of 1.2 million people at one point or another. (If you are a glutton and want to see why, we have the a witty liveblog of the night’s events. The video itself was removed by Sheen to prevent more casualties.)
— He also did another edition of “Sheen’s Korner” on Sunday night, tweeting beforehand, “Fastball; last night was treasonous to the movement. my bad. a video solution coming soon.”, but if you watched the first one it’s doubtful you had it in you to watch episode #2 so here’s a bit of what happened:
…he blamed the first episode's shortcomings on him trying to fit into a pre-existing format, referred to the telephone as “the weapon of the trolls” (and that was before he kept getting disconnected), waxed poetic about pain, and told the person on the line who suggested Sheen show people both sides of him that he only had one side.
Sheen continued blabbing for a total of 13 minutes, the last of which were spent lamenting the passing of his 11-year-old pug, Betty, who shared his birthday and therefore had a special bond with him.
He also appeared to have have said he would cut children’s throats, though with the shoddy editing of this video and his general rambling who the hell knows what he was saying. Watch the full episode here, if you dare (probably not safe for work due to multiple F-bombs):
Video streaming by Ustream — Despite this tepid showing Sheen is in talks with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban about doing a show on Cuban’s cable network HDNet.
“Everybody wants to critique a Web show that got put together in a few hours,” Cuban told ESPN. “That’s not the point. It gave him a chance to be himself and have some fun. The thing I like the most about Charlie is that he just loves to mess with the media. You guys fall hook, line and sinker.”
— At some point this weekend Charlie and one of his goddesses, Bree Olsen (Rachel Oberlin), had a falling out with Bree leaving the house and Sheen tweeting “Update: Sober Valley Lodge; Rachel has left the building…, We’re sad…. Over it… Applications now being accepted! #winner.”
She later reportedly returned home with Charlie professing that everything was now kosher between them adding this cryptic tweet: “I chipped one of my warlock fangs on a great white shark I had to murder. Pissed me off and like an ass I took it out on her.”
He did mention, however, that “Rachel” was back in her home state of Indiana during the first night’s episode of “Sheen’s Korner” and other reports say Olson, the one goddess who said on 20/20 that she would actually marry Sheen, is gone and not coming back.
— Sheen still does not have his twins back as negotiations with Brooke Mueller seem to have hit a dead end. They are scheduled to meet in court on Tuesday.
— Despite earlier rumors, it appears that Charlie will not be appearing in The Hangover II. “Unless they have a time machine and we can go back to Bangkok, my understanding is that we have already filmed the movie,” says one of the film’s stars Bradley Cooper.
— In possibly the most surreal moment in all of this Charlie Sheen nuttiness, Gary Busey has been quoted as saying that he is praying for him. “Charlie’s got to understand what the truth is. The beautiful thing about the truth is that it requires no questions,” says Busey.
— He has now reached over two million Twitter followers. This despite the fact that it was reported that he isn’t actually the one doing the tweeting. The person doing the actual tweeting is someone named Bob Maron who Charlie calls and tells him what message he wants sent out.
— Charlie is also looking to hire a social media intern. No, really.
— Oh yeah, he was also fired from ‘Two and a Half Men’ today. Officially.
Okay, that’s a wrap! It was a fun ride, but on that note we’re declaring SheenWatch to be finally over. (I actually think it died around 10:10PM ET on Saturday night to be honest.) Of course should anything groundbreaking occur in the world of Mr. Sheen we’ll be here to report it, but until then we’ll just be here trying to ‘win’ without him.
