Hey, its true. Call em like I see em. Fact is simple: people of every profession and economic demographic do what people find so shocking in celebrities. You see 3 - 5 minutes of every month of their life on television and people feel they know them. It is all a calculated act. The cameras are only around when they want them to be. People love drama and they turn to actors/actresses/and rock stars to find it. When, in reality, I bet very similar things are happening right in your own neighborhood - no matter where you live.

And he got a standing ovation in Chicago according to a quick news read on yahoo. Showed up on time. Spoke clearly. Made his money. Hmmmmmmmmm?
hey...I hope "recovers" and gets his whole career direction sorted out.

I don't for a second believe that his most recent blow-ups with cocaine and prostitutes is any sort of act... he freely admits it's his lifestyle...and that's cool...it's certainly his right to "live life on the edge".
The people who are supporting/paying to see him right now probably fantasize about the lifestyle he is living.

The reality is ....that lifestyle got him fired from a damn good job.

He can claim all day that he is "winning", because he's certain that he's following in Howard Stern's footsteps, and is untouchable in his public's eye, but he's not the creative genius that Stern is. He reads other people's words.
After his tour of being interviewed (seriously?), what's he gonna be doing after that? ...a new sitcom? stand-up?

I just don't believe he'll be finding the opportunities nearly as lucrative or rewarding. ...Charlie Lohan, maybe?? hmmmm
$#@&...only Vegas again?? Padres ...gotta start believin'!Bring on '14 Spring Training!

Sorry to drag the thread on Charlie Sheen back to the top, but I saw this today and just had to share it:

Sure, he might bang p*** stars and strippers and use cocaine but I know teachers who do that. Not that uncommon. The rest is all a publicity stunt. It is all staged. People are like trained sheep and will believe anything on tv. The Jersey Shore is more real.

The fact is Charlie Sheen will make more money off his tour then any ten of combined over the next 20 years. His "act" resulted in a fortune . . . which was his intent the entire time. He is a great salesman and people bought it . . . not unlike some of us Parrot Heads and their wacky beliefs about Jimmy Buffett's lifestyle.
Jon are you banging strippers and p*** stars again???....as for the Coke...i'm not sure i'd like my kids learning from a coke addict. As For Charlie Sheen.....if people are stupid enough to drop the money....not much i could say!!....is it a act....i don't know the guy is pretty f***ed up!!!
