Sheen and Galliano: Roads To Career Self-Destruction

If Charlie Sheen doesn’t get his axed CBS show “Two and Half Men” back then perhaps he can team up with British fashion designer John Galliano to star in a new show: “Two Half Wits.”

It’ll be a reality show.

The news cycle has been dominated by news of Sheen and Galliano — yet further examples of super-rich, super-pampered and super-arrogant celebrities who have it all but still want more. They don’t believe they need to grapple with the kinds of consequences us mere mortals might face if WE spit in the faces of those who support our work or in faces of those who signed OUR paychecks.

In case you’ve been on Mars, America’s deficit hasn’t been high as Sheen seemed in recent months. Reports of his hotel room antics and rehab trips drove up tabloid and celebrity website readerships and caused his show’s nervous executive producer to suspend production. So Sheen went on verbal abuse attack against Chuck Lorre and CBS – so abusive and seemingly revealing that CBS and Lorre pulled show for the rest of the season. Sheen then seemingly launched a campaign to make it permanently dead. He has likely succeeded.

He fired his publicist, is reportedly planning to sue Lorre and CBS and did various morning talk show interviews. The most (in) famous was on NBC’s “Today Show” which aired in two parts. In part two he introduced viewers to his two live in girlfriends who he called “my Goddesses.” One is a porn star (take THAT average man on the street and John Edwards!).

How weird does Sheen seem?
