Charlie Sheen

So Charlie Sheen has a million twitter followers, but lost his kids yesterday.

This guy needs serious help. Such a waste. The guy is immensely talented, intelligent and successful and he going to end up dead before spring.

Please, somebody hit him over the head, tie him to a chair and force him to sober up before he leaves those kids of his without a father.

I confess that I watched the big 20/20 interview online. Outside of the sideshow craziness, there was one moment of real clarity when Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez were being interviewed. Charlie interpreted his father's words as judgment when he likened Charlie's addictions to cancer. All I could think was "dude, there are maybe three or four people in the whole world who actually care whether you live or die and two of them are sitting there - it's not judgment, it's love."

The whole thing is really sad. I am sure that in his manic state Charlie thinks that a million twitter followers means a million supporters, but it is really just a million people who want to see what crazy, self-destructive thing he might do next. Either that, or it's just a million twits. Either scenario is entirely possible.
