Sorry, but if you watch the program you will see him always buying women Jewelry... the last episode that I remember was when Charlie was broke... 9 months without a paycheck and it was right when Charlie started his “Charley Waffles” children's song gig... Allen was giving Charlie hell for spending money that he did not have. Charlie had just started dating a Judge and her ex-husband saw that his son really liked the songs that Charlie had recorded for him and the father was a music producer... and Charlie gave this Judge diamond earrings. She said, “You do know that I was going to sleep with you tonight before the earrings”? If I hadn't seen it... I would never have stated it... trust me.

Ya well, sorry, I HAVE watched the show from Day 1...you are embellishing, a one case scenario...

Charlie's love life is a recurring theme in his character. He is a drunken womanizer who has engaged in decades of frequent one night stands, prostitutes, booty calls, and "relationships" of short duration, in stark contrast to his brother Alan's inability to garner much female attention. Even though Charlie usually never calls any of his girlfriends again after he had sex with them, there are a few relationships on the show that lasted longer than one night, notably his neighbor Rose, who continues to stalk him after they spent one night together, and Jake's ballet teacher Mia, whom Charlie was actually in love with, and almost married in Las Vegas. He usually dated women that were much younger than he was, but starting in Season 5, he pursued relationships that were a change of pace for him. He started a relationship with a respected judge played by Ming-Na and later with a substantially older single mother/author (Susan Blakely), but he later blew it with both women. In Season 6, Charlie proposed marriage to his girlfriend Chelsea (Jennifer Bini Taylor, who has also played 3 other roles in earlier seasons) just to get her to return his love for her.

Not to worry.

His left over campaign funds of $10-$12mil will easily pay that debt.

It's not hard to figure out that Newt is a stalking horse for Romney and the GOP establishment to ridicule the "Tea Party" wing of the GOP and make Romney look like he's actually a real conservative.

Newt is doing a fine job of self destructing without anyone else’s help. He’s sinking like a stone based on his own words and political history.

Still, as to why Gingrich owes $500,000 to Tiffany’s, unless it’s something illegal, of for purposes of immorality (such as gifting expensive jewelry to women who are not his wife), it’s really nobody’s business...least of all CBS News.

He just needs to go away and maybe he can still sell a few books before he totally self-destructs

Interesting, isn't it, how successful he's been in the writing business after the pubbies booted him out of congress. Maybe that's how he got paid off for sabotaging the pubbie agenda after 1995 and why he keeps sticking it to conservatives on every important issue that comes up, Obamacare and the Ryan Medicare proposal only being the most recent.

It's sick what they do. Joe's life was pried open for asking a question.

Obama got sealed divorce records opened on Jack Ryan. The Left love to violate privacy laws to release work records and more from Linda Tripp to Michael Steele and others.

Obama's records? Sealed away. Never a peep. How is it these leaks always seem to target enemies of ONE PARTY. It tells me there are too many Democrat partisan civil servants.

What kind of issue is this, really? Is it supposed to tell us he's rich and not the common man? Wow, big revelation CBS!

This is from a 2006 disclosure report his wife filed. It's FIVE years old. He may not even have this debt now and if he does, so what!

Sorry but remember when Charlie was in Jake's room and Charlie was discussing some jewelry he was going to give one of his conquests... Jake asked Charlie what the difference between break up jewelry and jewelry given to display how much you like someone... and Charley answered, “About $1500.00 dollars”. The man even has his pricing schedule down. Sorry... I am correct and the above quote proves that Charlie's character has made a habit out of giving his conquests jewelry... and even can quote the price difference in the type and reasons for giving said jewelry.

Man we are just talking about a TV show... we both like the show and that is rare on FR. I am just having fun discussing a show that is fun. Berta is the greatest!

The latest National Enquirer is saying that lorre and Charlie have made a deal... it mentioned that lorre is having all of Charlie's road shows taped. Charlie has written letters of apology to lorre and others and the Enquirer asked lorre about these tapings and if they were for legal reasons and he said absolutely not. They also reported Charlie was no longer bashing the show. They also stated that his return is assured and that it will happen at some point after Kucher is on. Who knows... but the show has some great writing and the cast is perfection as it is.

I agree, the show was a hoot until the drama hit the air waves. The 1/2 man, was/is my favorite and could make a show of his own, no problem...unfortunately, perhaps fortunately, his generation most likely has clue none who Charlie Sheen is.
