Do you agree?
Huh???? I don't know of ANYONE that is glorifying his behavior. He's being slammed all over the internet and television as well. At my workplace he's the joke of the day, every day. No...I completely disagree with you - there is no "gender thing" when people behave like this.

He has refused their help. He even discussed it in one of the many recent interviews.

I definitely think it's gender related. Men usually are always glorified for bad behavior, Gary Busy, Charlie Sheen, etc... then women flip their wig and it's nothing like the same reactions.
But I digress. I think his performance on 20/20 was totally nuts.. he's obviously off his rocker and needs intervention. He sounds like the drug and alcohol addicts on the show Intervention talking about how they can handle their drug use, they know when to stop etc..
Sad part is, his kids are going to grow up in his shadow and always will be known as "his" kids...
I think that he does indeed have serious issues and I wouldn't be surprised if he died of a drug overdose within the next year OR something strange and suspicious happens at his little love nest of a home with one of his "goddesses"....
Too bad, I really liked the show Two and a Half Men too... LOL

True. You can't force someone to go to rehab unless it is court ordered.

Geez, peeps, quit harping on Charlie! Charlie had a cool life - much cooler than most of us can ever imagine! Even if he dies tomorrow and leaves a good-looking corpse, it'll be just fine.

It's a ****ing sad state of society when more people legitimately aspire to be like Charlie Sheen than like someone such as Salvatore Giunta.

Ahhh... Charlie Sheen is freaking awesome, in the same way a train wreck or horrible car accident or a pop starlet meltdown is amazing.

That being said, I've never been a fan of Two and a Half Men but I'll start watching the show if they fire him. The guy is crazy.

Oh I agree he's nuts...but that doesn't mean I don't love the show. Heck I own the first 2 seasons. It's a shame that he's so talented, yet so completely insane.

charlie sheen is not stupid this is all a marketing PR ploy.

Charlie is getting paid like all celebs to tweet. He also has a Radio Show on SiRIUS Radio which is paying him royalties to promote his daily activities and updates, Several Restaurants and lounges have Tiger Blood Or Ty-Ger Blood drinks named after him......... Chicago baseball stadium also named a hot dog after him and he is also getting royalties for licencing his name for that project.

All an All He is a WINNER and his cast mates are losers.

It is a PR ploy. He is acting crazy so people will tune in and buy whatever it is he is selling or going to sell. All of Hollywood knows it, that's why they haven't done anything to signal they are sad for him. He is doing his best acting yet, and people are eating it all up. You're a genius, Charlie.
