The official excuse for the recent hospitalization of Charlie Sheen is “an adverse allergic reaction to some medication.” I know lots of people often have allergic reactions to massive amounts of cocaine. Not that I think this is the case for Charlie Sheen. Oh no, a man having violent outbursts and trashing a hotel room at 1:30 AM with an unidentified prostitute is in no way at risk for having a substance abuse problem. Sheen was hospitalized overnight at New York’s Presbyterian Hospital, then released into the custody of his publicist for a red-eye flight back to Los Angeles.
Of the one good thing about this event, for Charlie’s purposes, is the timing. He’s on probation for eight more days, which means he’s safe from going to jail for the last time he ran into trouble with the law. “It isn’t the charge that is a probation violation, it’s the commission of a crime,” says Pitkin County, Colorado, DA Arnold Mordkin, the prosecutor who headed Sheen’s domestic abuse case with estranged wife Brooke Mueller. “If he got charged and convicted, then it would be a different story. We do not go around trying to find violations,” added Mordkin. “We’re in Aspen, Colorado; we’re not in New York. We don’t have a force to investigate what happened in New York.”
Remember kids, a Sheen by any other name is an Estevez. I’m poking fun, but it’s obvious that Charlie Sheen is a train wreck of Robert Downey Jr. proportions. I hope he can get his head together and stop sabotaging his life, but I kind of doubt it.
