Charlie Sheen on 20/20 last night made me wonder if he is picking up where Hugh Hefner left off. Now that Hef is finally tying the knot with a much younger babe (he's almost 90), Charlie Sheen on 20/20 is bragging about his live-in goddesses, drug use and Adonis DNA. Is this the kind of guy you want your daughter to bring home?
I'll admit it, I fell victim to Sheen's charms. I was a dedicated "Two and a Half Men" fan. Who can resist a nerdy divorced father with a chunky son and the benevolently drunk uncle who takes them into his Malibu home? I certainly couldn't. But last night seeing Charlie Sheen on 20/20 made me see the situation as less than funny for the first time.
Charlie Sheen on 20/20 looked like an unmade bed. His hair was tousled, his eyes were wild and he was general disheveled. His usual polished exterior was disrupted, along with his image. Days of partying with porn stars, taking drugs, going to home rehab and eventually causing the cancellation of the rest of the season of "Two and a Half Men" was bound to do some damage.
Despite the fact he passed he recent online drug test, few believe Sheen is clean. Popeater reports he admitted last month he was, "bangin' 7-gram rocks and finishing them because that's how I roll. I have one speed, one gear ... go!"
Alright, you certainly don't want this guy to be the father of your children. But wait, he is already a daddy and an example to little ones. What does Charlie Sheen on 20/20 say about this? "I'm not gonna worry about it, or I can say, 'Hey, kids, your dad's a rock star...' They'll realize how cool Dad is!"
Clearly you don't have to be a rock star to be a foolish drunk. Charlie Sheen on 20/20 also discussed his famous father Martin Sheen, stating, "I don't care whether he's my dad or the guy down the street or somebody that like, fell out of the sky. No interest in that. I don't care if he's my dad. Back off with your judgment!"
It's difficult not to judge your son harshly when he is living with what he refers to as two "goddesses." His women have illustrious resumes that include porn films and advocating marijuana. Meanwhile, Sheen alleges he has cleaned up his act. As a parent, I can see why his father is concerned. Further, would you really want to be Denise Richards or Brooke Mueller?
Now Charlie Sheen is a polygamist living with two "goddesses," Natalie Kenly and Rachel Oberlin (better known by her porn name Bree Olsen." Charlie says they are the women he loves and they completed the "three parts of my heart." In return, the girlfriends claim they all love and care about each other with no partying going on. The world might be losing Playboy Hugh Hefner, but now we have Charlie Sheen.
What about Sheen's twin sons? The girls claims they are mother figures and Kenley indicated when asked if they were good influences, "Oh absolutely. All you can do with children is love them. And we love them and we're not doing anything to be harmful to their routine or undermine anything else going on."
It's scary to think what these boys might see and then consider to be right or wrong. Their mother certainly has a big job on her hands to protect them.
While I always enjoyed his unique humor, even that fell flat for me last night. I watched a re-run of "Two and a Half Men" that showed Alan trying to juggle two women and Jake getting drunk at a mall with a friend. Charlie handles it all then lets them know it's not easy to be a drunken womanizer like him. Honestly, it's the last example I would want for my son. Suddenly the show didn't seem quite as funny when I thought about watching it with adolescents.
Charlie Sheen on 20/20 claims chivalry is not dead and he is quitting his lifestyle to answer to a higher call. Oddly enough, he also states, "I am on a drug, it's called 'Charlie Sheen.' It's not available cuz if you try it once you will die. Your face will melt off and children will weep over your exploded body."
Further, Sheen is talking about taken action against CBS for canceling the remainder of the season of "Two and a Half Men." He feels their emotion and ego put them in a radical breach that will cost them serious money beyond the cost of canceling the show. Meanwhile, Sheen and the cast and crew are out of work.
I was sorry to see Charlie Sheen on 20/20 last night. He claims he is "bi-winning" rather than "bi-polar." After watching, I felt more concerned and repelled than reassured and enlightened. What did you think of his appearance?
