Winning them over! Charlie Sheen strips off on stage in Chicago and receives a standing ovation as he recovers from awful first night

By Daily Mail Reporter


Laid bare: Charlie Sheen has another stab at his one-man show, this time in Chicago, where his performance was received far more positively than his opening night


He was booed and heckled as he made his one-man show debut in Detroit.

But Charlie Sheen managed to get back on top last night and received a standing ovation in Chicago.

The actor took to the stage with a revamped show that was completely different in every way from the opening night that saw him booed offstage in Detroit.


Sheen arrived onstage fifteen minutes late after the crowd started a 'Detroit sucks' chant.

And as well as relying on a completely new format - with a Q&A rather than solo rants - Sheen also pulled attention-grabbing stunts to win over fans.

At one point he stripped off his shirt, swapping it with a man in the audience, before pulling his 'goddesses' on stage and kissing them.

His performance featured fewer video clips than his first show.

Affectionate moment: He was joined by his goddesses, who he brought on stage during the gig

Sharing the love: He shared kisses on stage with both his girlfriends Bree Olsen and Natalie Kenly


Sheen told stories about how he was supposed to be in The Karate Kid, but declined after advice from his father Martin Sheen, and smoking weed with Chris Penn, according to celebrity website TMZ.

And he said he would consider returning to Two And A Half Men if he was offered the chance.

But he lashed out at the show's makers, branding them 'blood suckers'. He did however have good words to say about co-star Jon Cryer, whom he called a 'rock star'.

During the question and answer session Sheen jokingly defended his decision to pay prostitutes for sex.

He justified it by saying: 'Because I had millions to blow [and] I ran out of things to buy'.

At the end of the performance he received a standing ovation, according to audience members who tweeted from the event at the 3,600-seat Chicago Theater, which reportedly sold out last night.

Earlier, crowds of fans erupted into thunderous applause as Sheen's megabus arrived at the theatre.

The star handed out shirts and jerseys to the excited crowds who had waited for hours in the cold.

The former star of Two And A Half Men greeted the fans alongside his girlfriend Natalie Kenly. His other girlfriend Bree Olsen was not with them.

One small boy from the Emonds family in Indiana was given a Charlie Sheen brand baseball jersey that read SHEEN on the back.

The father, who posed with his two sons outside the theatre, was not aware that Sheen had been booed off the stage in Detroit until told of the incident by reporters.

In Detroit, Sheen's 70-minute show hadn't even ended when the first reviews were in, and they were brutal.

Angry fans booed the actor, demanding their money back, but Sheen was unapologetic, telling one audience member: ‘I've already got your money, dude.’

Sheen is going to need it, since he was fired from his $2million an episode job on the CBS comedy show Two And A Half Men.

Twitter was awash with comments from the audience, with the hash-tag 'bombing' becoming one of the most tweeted.

The capacity crowd at the 5,100-seat Fox Theater in Detroit rebelled before Sheen left the stage, chanting ‘refund!’ and walking out in droves.

Linda Fugate, 47, from Lincoln Park, Detroit, walked up and down the block outside, shouting: ‘I want my money back!’

She said she had paid $150 for two seats.

Thumbs down: Sheen didn't help saying: 'Let me tell you a story about crack. Figured Detroit was a good place to try this joke'


She said: ‘I was hoping for something. I didn't think it would be this bad.’

Meanwhile Sheen and his ex-wife Brooke Mueller have finally formalised the custody arrangements for their twin sons, Bob and Max.

According to TMZ.com the agreement includes the rule that both parents must submit to random drug testing three times a month.

Both must also have their regular nannies with them at all times when they have the children.

As for Sheen's 'goddesses', the agreement states that they cannot show public displays of affection toward the twins. Sheen and Miss Mueller cannot be photographed around the children with a romantic counterpart.

One fan bemoaned: 'I expected him to at least entertain a little bit. It was just a bunch of ranting'

As far as physical custody goes, for the first two months, Sheen will have the twins every other weekend, from Saturday morning until Sunday evening. For the next two months he will have the twins every other weekend from Saturday morning until Monday morning.

The next phase, according to TMZ, is dependent on Sheen and Miss Mueller both remaining drug and alcohol free. Sheen will then have the twins every other weekend from Saturday morning until Monday morning and from Wednesday morning until Thursday morning.

'Winning? No, he was bombing': Angry fans boo and heckle as Charlie Sheen's one-man stage show flops

By Simon Neville


Charlie Sheen and his 'godesses' were roundly booed and heckled by the audience. But the out-of-work actor seemed disinterested as the show bombed


Charlie Sheen kicked off his one man show tour tonight telling the audience he wanted them to enjoy ‘a night of winning.’

But by the end of Violent Torpedo of Truth Defeat is Not an Option he wasn’t winning, but bombing.

Angry fans booed and heckled the former Two and a Half Men star, demanding their money back, but the unapologetic actor was uninterested, telling one member of the baying crowd ‘I've already got your money, dude.’

The crowds booed and heckled throughout. Sheen didn't help saying: 'Let me tell you a story about crack. Figured Detroit was a good place to try this joke'


He’s going to need it, since he was fired from his $2million an episode job on the CBS comedy.

The 70-minute show hadn't even ended when the first reviews were in, and they were brutal.

Twitter was awash with comments from fans at the show, with the hash-tag 'bombing' becoming one of the most tweeted.

The capacity crowd at the 5,100-seat Fox Theatre in Detroit rebelled before he left the stage, chanting ‘refund!’ and walking out in droves.

Linda Fugate, 47, of the Detroit suburb of Lincoln Park, walked outside and up the block yelling, ‘I want my money back!’

She said she paid $150 for two seats.

‘I was hoping for something. I didn't think it would be this bad.’

Winning? Sheen promised Snoop Dogg, instead he played a video of the rapper before the theatre lights were switched on. No curtain call was required


Fans who gathered outside the theatre before the doors opened Saturday — some who had to fly in for the show — said they were hoping to see the increasingly eccentric actor deliver some of the colourful rants that have made him an internet star since his ugly falling out with CBS and the producers of Two and a Half Men.

They got the ranting. It just wasn't funny.

‘I expected him to at least entertain a little bit. It was just a bunch of ranting,’ said Rodney Gagnon, 34, of Windsor, Ontario.

Promising to give fans ‘the real story,’ the 45-year-old Sheen kicked off a month-long, 20-city tour Saturday night, with the second show scheduled for Sunday in Chicago.

Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option opened in Detroit. It will tour 20 cities around the country, assuming any more tickets are sold


The show started well for Sheen, as the crowd stood and cheered as he and the women he calls his ‘goddesses’ took the stage.

The women, one a former porn star and the other an actress, carried signs with the words ‘War’ and ‘Lock’ references to one of the catchphrases Sheen recently coined.

The two women shared an intimate kiss, to howls from the crowd.

But when the warm-up act Kurt Fox came on the do his routine, the booing started.

Sheen was forced to come onto the stage to encourage the rowdy audience to give the guy a chance, saying he would be back once he had had a snickers bar.

According to those inside, Fox eventually left the stage, saying: ‘These jokes are so bad I don't even want to finish them.’

One fan bemoaned: 'I expected him to at least entertain a little bit. It was just a bunch of ranting.'


Finally Sheen took to the stage, saying: ‘I don't see a single empty seat,’ he said.

He tried on a bowling shirt like one his TV character Charlie Harper would wear, then took it off and had his goddesses burn it.

He then donned a Detroit Tigers No. 99 jersey, a reference to his role in the film ‘Major League.’

Sheen had said rapper Snoop Dogg would perform at the show, but he didn't.

Instead, the show ended with a video for a new Snoop Dogg song before the lights went on and most of the crowd left the theatre.

But 15 minutes later he returned with his ‘godesses’ and beckoned the remaining audience down to the front of the stage.

Once they were there he just walked off. An encore was not required.

Toronto-area resident Ronnie Prentice was among several fans outside the theatre who said they were hoping to see Sheen rant.

‘It's kind of like a NASCAR race. You're just tuning in because you're just waiting for the accident to happen,’ said Ronnie Prentice, 37.

Adam Hawke said he bought a ticket for the same reason.

‘He might be doing something really crazy,’ said Hawke, 47, who works in the construction business and lives in Michigan. ‘He's a wreck. That's half the draw.’

Geoff Rezek, 69, flew in from New York to see what he believed was going to be ‘history in the making.’

‘I wouldn't miss the first show. Who knows if there's going to be a second show?’ said Rezek, a computer consultant from Connecticut, who said he also bought a ticket for Sheen's show next week in his home state.

Lisa Vanderpump's Thoughts On Charlie Sheen

The women of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are just about everywhere so it only makes sense that they talk about what is going on in their neighborhood.

Lisa Vanderpump is continuing to talk about her ‘Housewives’ castmate Camille Grammer and now also the controversy surrounding Charlie Sheen, states Radar Online. As far as Grammer, she thinks the newly divorced woman will be just fine: “The only way is up after what she has been through.”

But, Vanderpump thinks Sheen might have a little more of a struggle in front of him: “I think in the future he will not be proud of what he has done in the past. He needs help.”

Charlie Sheen Could Go To Jail For Discussing Brooke Mueller’s Drug Use

Everyone angry that the LAPD is hunting Lindsay Lohan down while Charlie Sheen isn’t in jail may soon get their wish. TMZ says Brooke Mueller will argue that Sheen is in contempt of their divorce agreement, seeing as how it stipulates that “Charlie agrees to not disclose to any media sources personal information relating to Brooke’s alleged drug usage.” That’s something he’s definitely been doing a lot of, accusing her of being loaded during a recent trip to the Bahamas and even showing Mueller’s alleged crackpipe to Radar. It’s not hard to believe Charlie would forget what he’s not supposed to say, considering you really shouldn’t say any of the stuff coming up in Sheen’s television rants.

If Sheen is found in contempt, the judge could send him away for as long as 6 months, though it seems unlikely he’ll get so stiff a term if the mother of his children is doing cocaine again. But throw this news on top of Brooke’s accusations of abuse and death threats, and it looks like the guy may be off to a true “sober valley lodge” without his goddesses before too long.

Adrienne Maloof Worried About Charlie Sheen

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof says she's worried about her friend Charlie Sheen.

"Charlie's been our neighbor and our friend for quite some time," Maloof tells USA TODAY's Cindy Clark. "Yes, it's a little disturbing some of the things that he says, and I don't really know Charlie to be that way. I give him my support and love. He's really actually a wonderful person and I just don't understand this other side to him, and hopefully he works though this."

Maloof, who showed up this morning for the National Education Association's Read Across America Day at the Library of Congress, found herself unwillingly involved in Sheen's antics when her husband Dr. Paul Nassif called 911 in January to report that Sheen was intoxicated and in pain.

Nassif, a physician, also appears with his businesswoman and philanthropist wife on the Bravo reality TV show, which may be back for a second season. There's no official word yet, "but it's probably going to happen sooner than later with our ratings," says Maloof, who says she will be back on the show. "I'm not really supposed to say, but more than likely yes," she says with a smile.

"Hopefully all the girls will come back, it's a great cast. It'd be crazy for Camille not to come back … she's got a whole other side to her," says Maloof of co-star Camille Grammer, who stirred up some drama last season. "We're all pretty busy, but I do run into them," says Maloof of her off-season relationships with her co-stars. "They're lovely girls. We have our differences, but let me tell you, when you get six women together, you're going to have drama," adding that "it's very real. There's very minimal editing."

A Trashed Hotel Room, Angry Porn Star and Hospitalization Can't Bring Charlie Sheen Down!

Charlie Sheen doesn't look too upset concerning the recent drama in NYC as he leaves a film set in Los Angeles, CA on October 28, 2010 where the actor made a cameo. The smiling Sheen gave no indication that only days before was hospitalized after being found naked in a trashed hotel room with a porn star after he allegedly reacted negatively from medication upon the realization his expensive watch was missing. While the watch is still missing, Charlie's smile sure isn't.

Denise Richards Copes with Ex-Husband’s Drug Problem

The week started out great, with Denise Richards, ex-husband Charlie Sheen, and their two daughters Sam and Lola capping off a weekend in New York with a trip to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. But soon the celebrity news and gossip took another turn. On Monday night, Sheen was drunk, naked, and causing a commotion in his hotel room at The Plaza. He was sent to the hospital forthwith.

Richards took it in stride, however, facing Howard Stern on his radio show on Tuesday. Howard wasn’t too hard on her, however. She told Stern that things were good between the two, despite Sheen’s problems. Richards, famous for her sexy fashion style, is currently appearing in the Spike TV comedy “Blue Mountain State,” guest starring in five episodes.

Charlie Sheen Goes to Rehab

Actor Charlie Sheen has entered rehab for undisclosed reasons.

"As a preventative measure, Charlie Sheen has entered a rehabilitation facility," his rep said in a statement. "He will take some time off his series Two and a Half Men."

His wife Brooke Mueller also entered rehab earlier this month for a crack and alcohol problem. She recently switched rehab centers for privacy reasons.

Sheen is also dealing with domestic violence charges due to the fight with his wife on Christmas day. He was allegedly drunk at the time of the assault.

The actor has reportedly been in rehab twice before for drug and alcohol abuse. This time his trip to rehab could be a result of dealing with his domestic violence case which has increases his stress level and made him more vulnerable to drugs and alcohol.

"Charlie is stressed. He's tired. The kids are on his mind. Brooke's on his mind," a source told People. "A lot of things are on his mind. He didn't want to get a place where he had the urge to get high. He's not using and he doesn't want to. He felt like he needed to get away from negative influences around him and clear his head, rest and take a short break."

More Bad News for Charlie Sheen

Things aren’t going so well for Charlie Sheen these days. The actor received a call from an OnStar-like service this morning, informing Sheen that his SUV had just crashed.

According to TMZ, the 'Two And A Half Men' star got the call around 4am, learning that his car had been involved in a wreck and the airbags had deployed. Sheen’s security team inspected his home and reported that his car had indeed been stolen. Cops found his SUV on its side at the bottom of a cliff near Mulholland Drive in L.A. The Fire department has not found any victims involved in the crash, and the cops are still searching for a suspect.

This accident comes just days after hearing news that the star will be charged with felony menacing and misdemeanor assault following the Christmas Day incident where he allegedly assaulted his wife Brooke Mueller. TMZ reports that Sheen will report in court on Monday for an arraignment, but is not expected to enter a plea just yet.

The Charlie Sheen Drama

More and more details are emerging everyday about Charlie Sheen's alleged attack on wife Brooke Mueller on Christmas Eve/Christmas morning. An Aspen police officer who responded to the 911 call placed by Brooke, claims in a sworn statement that Sheen had exhibited this type of behavior in the past, held her at knife point, and threatened to kill her if she told anyone what had occurred.

When interviewed by police Sheen admitted that the pair have been having marital problems and an argument over a song Sheen had shared with his daughter by another woman was the cause for the altercation. Sheen claims Mueller became jealous and threatened to divorce him and take the children. Sheen also claims Mueller was drunk at the time, and when officers arrived at the home Mueller's blood alcohol level was .13.

When interviewed by police Mueller shared a different story claiming Sheen became angered over her request for a divorce. He then grabbed her by the throat, and waved around a small switchblade knife.

Officers did discover a small switchblade knife in Sheen's belongs and he was placed under arrest after an officer did take note of red marks on the upper part of Muellers neck!

Carson Daly Welcomes Baby Boy

Baby alert, baby alert! The late-night talk show host and former TRL host Carson Daly has welcomed his first child. Daly and longtime girlfriend Siri Pinter welcomed a baby boy on Sunday night.

Jackson James Daly, who weighed in at 7 lbs., 8 oz., is the first child for the couple. "Parents are both ecstatic," his rep Heather Lylis said. "They have a happy and healthy baby boy."

We approve, pretty normal baby name! Phew, that was a close call!

OTHER BABY NEWS: In other not-so-A-list baby news, porn star Jenna Jameson and boyfriend Tito Ortiz of UFC fame have welcomed healthy twin boys in Newport Beach. More twins! Brooke Mueller, the third wife of Two and a Half Men and Spin City star Charlie Sheen, gave birth to the twin boys as well this week.

Charlie Sheen's son worry

Charlie Sheen is worried about having sons.

The actor, who confirmed last week he and wife Brooke Mueller will welcome twin boys into the world in April, is unsure what to expect because he is only experienced in raising girls.

Charlie, who has three daughters from previous relationships, told People magazine: "It's going to be extremely different. I don't know how to deal with boys. But I didn't know how to deal with girls when I had them either, so I guess it's all an education."

However, Charlie - who has daughters Sam, four, and Lola, three with ex-wife Denise Richards and 23-year-old Cassandra with ex-girlfriend Paula Profitt - insists he is delighted with the news.

He added: "We know it's boys and it's pretty cool. We're thrilled."

After announcing he and Brooke were starting a family together, Charlie, 42, said: "Brooke and I are thrilled! She's the best stepmom my children could ever hope for. Seeing her love and affection with those three, I know she'll be an amazing mom."

Charlie Sheen and Wife Expecting

Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen and his wife Brooke Mueller are expecting a baby.

Charlie, 42, and Brooke, 31, met in 2006 and tied the knot in Los Angeles this past May.

This will be Charlie’s fourth child–he has two daughters, Sam, 4, and Lola, 3, with actress Denise Richards. The pair had a really rocky divorce as shown in her E! reality show. This is probably bad news for Richards, we don't think she's probably that happy about it. He also has a daughter, Cassandra, 23, from his relationship with Paula Profit.

Highest Paid TV Stars

Ever wondered who makes the most on TV? We know they all make a ridiculous amount of money but exactly how much? Here is the breakdown of the highest paid people on TV..

Charlie Sheen makes a ridiculous $800,000 an episode for his TV show Two and a Half Men, which makes him the highest paid actor on a series. And after filming 23 episodes a year he banks just under $20 million a year. The NO.2 spot goes to fellow CBS star William Petersen, who makes $600,000 an episode for portraying investigator Gil Grissom on the "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."

As for the highest paid actresses Mariska Hargitay was No. 1 for TV drama, earning $400,000 an episode for her role as a detective on NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." TNT's "The Closer" star Kyra Sedgwick makes the No.2 spot, earning $275,000 per episode.

But that seems like couch change when you throw the Kings and Queen of TV in the mix. Oprah was named 2008's most powerful celebrity by Forbes magazine. She earns $385 million a year for hosting her daytime talk show. American Idol's most hated judge, Simon Cowell judge earns $50 million per year, and CBS late-night host David Letterman has an annual salary of $32 million. All numbers according to TV guide.

Charlie Sheen denies Denise Richards' child molestation claim

Actor said to be seeking full custody of daughters

Charlie Sheen is said to be furious with ex-wife Denise Richards after she falsely accused him of molesting their daughters.

The former James Bond girl, 37, made the claims at a court last week and showed a video of Sam, 4, and Lola, 3, allegedly behaving in a disturbed way with their dad.

But Charlie's lawyers presented his own film of the girls acting normally to the hearing in LA, and Denise's 'evidence' was dismissed.

It is thought the actor now plans to fight for full custody of his kids, and will sue Denise for defamation.

‘Denise's accusations were vile,’ a source tells Page Six. ‘She was basically trying to say Charlie [manipulated] the kids and acted inappropriately with them. It's disgusting and totally untrue.

'Charlie is furious... Denise has really pushed it too far this time.’

Reps for the pair, who split in 2005 after 3 years of marriage, declined to comment.

Charlie, 43, is now wed to property developer Brooke Mueller.

Charlie Sheen Apologizes for Curse-Filled Voicemail to Denise Richards

Charlie Sheen is apologizing for a three-year-old voicemail that ex Denise Richards made public.

The voicemail included a curse-filled rant from Sheen calling Richards – the mother of their two young daughters Sam, 4, and Lola, 3 – a "f--king c--t" and a "f--king n----r."

In response, the Two and a Half Men star said in a statement released Wednesday, "I deeply apologize by my choice of words to all I have obviously offended; especially to Tony Todd, an African-American, who was my best man at my first two weddings."

Sheen added, however, that "three and one-half years later, the reasons that caused the anger and frustration displayed on that voice mail continue to be manifested on a daily basis" because "my children did not show up today for a custodial visit without explanation."

Sheen – who wed Brooke Mueller last month – has been in a bitter public feud with Richards since they split in 2006. She recently revealed that he gave their daughters necklaces before asking for them back.
