Charlie Sheen is just chillin', and y'all should chill as well. The Extra TV show interviewed him about his recent troubles - or, since they appear to have been talking to him as he was in his car, they "caught up with him." Have to use the right lingo.

Actually, it was a nude escort screaming in the closet who was panicking. But hey: terrified companion, cops, leaving the hotel in a gurney: a bad night in Sheen-o-vision. He is also not concerned about losing a $150K Philippe Patek watch:

So in case you were worried: Charlie Sheen was psychologically prepared to lose his watch. Who knows? It could turn up. Unless he gave it to someone as a tip for a shoeshine; celebrities are famously impulsive and generous that way.

If you want to know what a $150K watch looks like, here's a page of Patek timepieces. Some go for $1.5 million, if you're the sort of person who needs the very finest quality time. Yes, I know, that's a lot for a watch, but: free shipping. Act now!
