14 DAY TRIAL // After a couple of weeks of countless media interviews and of saying the most outrageous things imaginable, Charlie Sheen has taken matters into his own hands by premiering his own online show called “Sheen’s Korner.”
The first episode premiered on Ustream and was a 50-minute “talk show” that saw Sheen and his sidekicks talk about anything from fans’ reaction to the latest developments in Sheen’s life to the sponsors that have made it possible to get “the truth” out there.
Various media outlets point out that, if anything, “Sheen’s Korner” is a massive ego trip that makes no sense to the outsider, the ramblings of a man who no longer has anything relevant to say.
Even worse, the first episode has been dubbed a vain attempt at clinging to the last of the wave of interest generated with Sheen’s most recent interviews.
For more clarity, aside from a shot-out to his children and to the sponsors, the episode also sees Sheen flashing his “winning” tattoo (yes, he got one on his wrist), talking about the Goddesses and basically trying to be funny and failing, PopEater says.
“One of Sheen’s props was startling: He drank from a toddler’s sippy cup that he recently claimed was left behind the last time his twin sons were taken from his home by authorities. Sorry, Charlie, but the loudest ‘Two and Half Men’ laugh track wouldn’t make that funny,” the e-zine writes of the “inane” webcast in a scathing review.
“Now that we’ve all been through a crash course in the real Charlie Sheen – by professional publicists and writers who were, for years, evidently quite effective in keeping his blathering ego in check – our listening certainly seems to be Sheen’s new addiction,” PopEater adds.
It wasn’t the only media outlet to trash the actor for his latest undertaking. In fact, Sheen too knows that his debut with “Sheen’s Korner” didn’t come out as he expected, as he says in the just-released second episode, called “Torpedoes of Truth.”
He said that episode one was perceived as lame because he tried to fit “their” format with it, instead of going with his own unmistakable style, a wrong he sets right in the follow-up episode.
Below is the first episode, if you feel like you have almost an hour to spare. Here is the second one, but *please be advised that it contains graphic language that may offend.
