Charlie Sheen calls Philly radio station — twice
One banner-dragging plane buzzing Beverly Hills generated two phone calls from Charlie Sheen to Philadelphia's Wired 96.5.
One banner-dragging plane buzzing Beverly Hills generated two phone calls from Charlie Sheen to Philadelphia's Wired 96.5.
Sheen spoke about a new understanding with CBS about his hit show Two and a Half Men, and said the rumors of an imminent arrest were based on a misunderstanding.
The station-commissioned streamer unfurled Thursday morning, reading, "Philly's Wired 96.5 (heart) u - call us 4 ur next role" and listed a phone number.
Sheen, whose recent spate of rants on all sorts of media outlets have included having "tiger blood" and living with two "goddesses," phoned in Thursday night, and then talked even longer to Chio and his crew this morning.
"You guys are radicals," Sheen said Thursday night to program director "Kannon." "You hatched this brainstorm like the Vatican assassins that you are, and so figured that if we fly it over his house, he has to call us."
The news about police coming to his house had to do with a custody agreement reached with ex-wife Brooke Mueller. "We reached a deal, but I can't say what it is," he said, and her lawyers decided to use "cops as delivery people."
About setting a new record for accumulating followers on Twitter - 1 million in 25 hours - he said, "I was really impressed. I was really, really flattered."
"Of course, I do," he replied, when asked if he thinks he'll have a new deal soon with CBS about his sitcom. ". . . It's fine. We're going to work it all out."
Yes, he was sober during his recent Good Morning America interview, and if he appeared a bit unhinged, it was because he was under attack, he said.
This morning, Sheen talked with Chio about being quite happy about the direction of his life.
"It feels like the worm's turning," Sheen said. ". . . It feels like the hot springs of Middle Earth is finally ready to explode outward."
"Absolutely the deal's coming back," he continued. ". . . I see us back on the air, with a few adjustments and giving the people not only what they want, but what they deserve."
"What do you say to the haters?" Chio said.
"I don't speak to them anymore. I speak past them," Sheen said. ". . . If they decide to come around eventually, that's fine."
Of his pair of live-in love interests, he said, "They are as fabulous as anything you could possibly imagine. . . . They just make me feel alive and focused, and I wouldn't have it any other way."
He'll continue doing Twitter, he said. "It seems to be what people want. It seems as if at this stage of my tsunami, this has to be the next move."
Forget about his talk of a deal with HBO.
"No, I'm starting to think that the guy who called me was a complete impostor," he said.
Fox reporter Jennaphr Frederick got to ask a question, too, pointing out the Sheen now has several Philly connections, since he recently mentioned athletes Allen Iverson and Ryan Howard.
"Let's just say that, cosmically, things arranged themselves to direct me to this entity that is Philadelphia," Sheen said.
