Everyday we should ask oursleves what would Charlie Sheen do?Should we change our essay on bipolar disorder to bi-winning disorder? Do we need a transfusion of tiger blood instead of another Red Bull?

Charlie Sheen is everywhere lately. Whether you’re one of his 2.6 million Twitter followers (a world record number of followers considering he only started it last week) or cringe as you read each new headline, you have to admit you’re watching and wondering: Is he crazy? Is this all a publicity stunt? When will they make the catchphrase doll? Either way, we’re listening and ready for his next ‘fastball’.

Sheen has always been a little crazy even if it was only for a film role. Who could forget one of his first ever acting jobs as Jennifer Grey’s hook-up in the police station in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Even in a cameo, he played an alcoholic drug addict, which isn’t too far off from his current behaviour. Sheen’s recent tirade all started when he took a break from Two and A Half Men, a sitcom he reportedly gets paid $2.3 million for–making him the highest paid TV actor in history, to go to rehab in February.

After the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre, refused Sheen's request for a $3 million pay raise and then fired him; Sheen lambasted Lorre in a letter to gossip site TMZ, calling him a “maggot” and promising that he would defeat him with his “firebreathing fists”.· His “beautiful and loyal fans” we’re supposed to “march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong”.
