Pop Culture: Charlie Sheen, Forgive or Forget?

Written by Dee Brun

I have always had a little crush on Charlie Sheen, honestly how could you not? He was an 80ʼs heartthrob, bad boy and I still think heʼs has something. popculturecharliesheenI just one party with him for one night, I may wake up naked in a bus shelter, but it would be worth it.

All the bad boy, oh I bet heʼs good in bed aside...How does this man still have a job in Hollywood? I know these days as a society we are more forgiving or just numb to sex tapes, DUIʼs and indiscretions, but what about the shooting of fiances?

After Sheenʼs recent stint of being passed out in a trashed NY hotel room with a naked porn star locked in the bathroom on October 26 of this year. I decided to do a little digging into his sorted past and very recent present. This man, Mr Sheen, has done some crazy shit... Did you know...

  1. In 1990 he was engaged to Kelly Preston. Until he “accidentally” shot her in the arm. This consequently ended their relationship.
  2. He was named in the Heidi Fleiss court case in 1995 as a “Client”...ick.
  3. He has dated several Porn Stars... ick.
  4. In 1998 he overdosed on Cocaine and his father Martin Sheen put out a public plea for fans to pray for him as he entered rehab? He left soon after.
  5. In December of 2009 he was charged with 2nd degree assault against his then wife Brooke Mueller.

This is about 1/3 of the list; it is all quite sorted. So why after all of this mess is this man the highest paid man on television with a hit show? He makes a reported 1.88 million dollars PER EPISODE! Where is the line that makes us, as a society, say no more? Recently it was reported that Mel Gibson was going to be in the Hangover 2. After the back lash from the cast and crew the producers of the movie pulled him from the project. But ...umm...Mike Tyson was in The Hangover and heʼs a convicted rapist? I am confused on why this is ok, but a racist, abusive bigot it not? Itʼs not like Mel bit someones ear off or something.

Do we even have a line anymore for Hollywood celebrities? Have we become so jaded and accepting of their behavior that anything goes? I donʼt have any answers. All I know is I wonʼt want Madonna in a movie ever again but I do watch 2 1/2 Men every Monday night. What did Madonna do that was so awful? Oh, thatʼs right, she tried to act.
