Charlie Sheen is saying, "Yes, yes, yes," to rehab.
His rep just released a statement that the embattled sitcom star "has voluntarily entered an undisclosed rehabilitation center today.
"He is most grateful to all who have expressed their concern," the statement said. "Mr. Sheen asks that his privacy be respected at this time and that no additional information will be provided."
But what about Two and a Half Men? Earlier today, Sheen's rep said the actor would return to work next Tuesday…
RELATED: Source: Charlie Sheen doesn't think he has a problem
A statement issued by CBS Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television and executive producer Chuck Lorre says that the hit show has been placed on production hiatus.
"We are profoundly concerned for his health and well-being, and support his decision," the statement said.
Sheen was rushed to a hospital yesterday morning from his L.A.-area home because, he told friends and family, he was suffering severe abdominal pain, possibly due to a hernia from laughing so hard while watching television.
However, a source has told us that Sheen had been on a long partying bender that included a bevy of porn stars.
"He says things like, 'Men like me don't die,'" the source said yesterday, adding that the actor does not think he has a problem. "Give him some free time and he's off and running."
Let's hope any free time he has now will be spent on his recovery.
His family was lucky on that one.
If Charlie was a poor, black man, they would have thrown his ass in jail and threw away the key a long time ago.
Sheen buys suitcase loads of the stuff to party with his friends week after week year after year while thousands of police and innocent people are slaughtered by the cartels and you use the addict excuse?
he’s funding the murders and he doesn’t give a damn
I hope he is able to clean himself up and conquer his demons. Along with everything else he needs to do in this regard, he needs to quit his show - the character he plays is too close to the person he has become in real life. It’s almost as though that role is an enabler for him.
Sheen isn’t buying drugs so he can fund murderers. Sheen is buying drugs because he is hooked on drugs. I am not making excuses for Sheen although I do not wish that he “put a bullet in his head” either.
Would you want every drug addict and alcoholic to “put a bullet in their head”?
Check out two Downey quotes:
I have a really interesting political point of view, and it’s not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can’t. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics every since. [Downey in [i]The New York Times[/i] in 2008, on why some of his political opinions now lean more conservative than they used to]
Tofu is the root of all evil, and there’s only one thing that can change a man’s mind, and that’s a modified Uzi with an extra-long clip.
I knew there was a good reason I’ve always liked the guy.
Interesting. He appears to be much more intelligent and complicated than the average actor.
Carlitos, you’ve been in and out of rehabs over the last twenty years, two or three times the last couple of years, one as a condition of pleading out of your domestic-violence thing with Brooke Mueller. You just might have a problem.
Amen. I completely agree.
He needs to take up the piano with a very serious piano teacher who has (Catholic) Faith. I did that 8 years ago and there isn’t time for any bad habits. I’m 45 now.
Charlie Sheen will never have a stable relationship, but he might be a great pianist.
I think he’s brilliant and I love his over-the-top, sarcastic dead-pan delivery.
I never knew the stuff I just posted because I’ve not really bothered to read his bio or anything but it does explain why my liberal friend despises him.
I’m not a big fan of “Iron Man” kinds of movies but I thoroughly enjoyed both of them simply because of him.
I’ve never seen an “Iron Man” movie, but I do vaguely recall seeing part of the Chaplin movie, in which he was quite good. My husband is a fan of his.
It’s actually quite an entertaining series.
He mixes serious/sarcastic like a gourmet chef....:)
Mickey Rourke stole the show in the the sequel, though.
Totally over the top villain.
I’ll have to give it a try. I liked “Hell Boy”, after all.
He needs to go back to Santa Monica High and get his diploma.
I hate to admit this but the majority of really good movies I’ve seen in the past couple of years have been “graphic novel” adaptations.
Sin City, Hell Boy, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Constantine, X-Men, Wolverine, The Crow, Ghost Rider, Jonah Hex, V For Vendetta...the list goes on and on.
And to think, I’d never be caught dead actually *reading* one.
[but I find the some of the artwork to be truly magnificent, especially Steve Firchow]
Charlie Sheen is 45 years old. But with his lifestyle it’s like he is 80 now.
