Charlie Sheen news coming thick and fast today

He won't stop talking.

February 28, 2011 at 8:16PM

Worst job n Hollywood might be "Charlie Sheen's publicist," unless you count his maid, but at least when the maid has to clean up after him she can use tongs. TMZ reports:

Sheen took the resignaton as well as you might expect: he called him a name, said he's "not allowed to quit," and said he was fired.

He gave an interview to TMZ today - oh, that's a wise choice - and said, among other things, "that he 'hopes' his 5 kids ask him about all of the drug use one day … so he can fill them in on all of the 'epic' stories." Good. Lord. At least with most train wrecks, they shut down the tracks. Not with Charlie: he tells the next train coming to pour on more coal. All aboard!

UPDATE: since starting this post, Sheen made MORE news, this time by announcing he'll sue CBS for $16 million. Better hit "post" before he does something else, like describe how he knows exactly the way Qadaffi is feeling these days. Save something for the later afternoon, pal!
