One other reason why Two and a Half Men is so popular is because that Charlie Sheen’s role as Charlie Harper is seen as skewering his own foibles and reputation. Charlie Sheen has long had the distinction of being one of Hollywood’s bad boys, having done several stints in rehab and numerous times in court (both divorce and criminal). He’s a famous client of Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss, reportedly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on her girls and services. He’s no stranger to domestic violence, or drug use. Just recently, in fact, after an altercation with his wife, he was formally charged with felony menacing, and third-degree assault and criminal mischief, both misdemeanors. He plead guilty to misdemeanor assault as part of a plea bargain where the other charges against him were dismissed.

And believe it or not, he is more popular than ever. The show is  ”America’s Number-One Comedy,” according to CBS, and he just signed an agreement to return to the sitcom for another two years for a reported $1.78 million per episode. During the Winter Olympics, Two and a Half Men went up against them as a repeat, and still drew more than 10 million viewers. That’s very impressive, and it means that the show has some serious fans. It obviously does, with those kinds of numbers or a re-run.

And you know those two-toned retro-style bowling shirts that Charlie Sheen wears on Two and a Half Men? They’re some of the most popular menswear in stores today. Charlie Sheen shirts are flying off the shelves, and it is all due to the popularity of the show.

The show has its detractors, who say it is too crude and too cliched, but other fans don’t seem to mind, and CBS is sure to keep the same winning formula for its number one show. Two and a Half Men will be back next season, just the same as it was before.

His exploits from his younger days are the stuff of legends, but we think that it was the reality show Two and a Half Men that put him over the top. Yes, just like his character Charlie Harper, Charlie Sheen is, in real life, a lady magnet. Congrats Charlie, you’re the man.

In fact, if you aren’t that impressed yet, guess what he courageously revealed about himself? He has slept with 5,000 women! Know anyone who can beat that? In fact, our man Charlie landed in Maxim magazine’s Top 10 ‘Living Sex Legends’ list. Need we say more? But hey, the men’s magazine claims that lowly Venetian hotel porter Umberto Billo has charmed 8,000 women to his bed. When he’s not carrying luggage, guess what he’s doing?

Charlie has established himself as an actor, and his screen conquests are what matters to us, much more than his bed conquests. The son of actor Martin Sheen of Apocalypse Now fame, Charlie, a Virgo, has reportedly cleaned up his bad boy/playboy image after ending his marriage with former Bond Girl Denise Richards, an Aquarius.

Now that he’s married to Brooke Mueller, and has recently had twin boys named Max and Bob, Charlie is now more focused on being a daddy and loving husband to Brooke. Now the father of five (he has two daughters with ex-wife Denise Richards and a 23-year-old daughter from a previous relationship), Charlie seems to finally want to settle down and spend quality time with his family.

For several weeks since it was first reported around the first week of September, Sheen’s fictional 20-minute conversation with the US President played out in the news quite prominently. Although the matter has been widely accepted as fictional, the transcript of the “conversation” reflects the true sentiments of Sheen concerning the controversies that surround 9/11.

In the fictional meeting with the President, Sheen argues that the official story on 9/11 is a fraud, alleging that the event was perpetrated and covered up by the Bush administration as a prelude to justify the war and the subsequent invasion of Iraq. He even hinted that Osama bin Laden used to work with the US government until the fateful day of 9/11.
Sheen implored Obama to re-open the investigation on the 9/11 attack as he believes the original commission set up to investigate the event was a whitewash.

Since this controversy that Sheen has gotten himself into exploded, critics and fans hoped he would ease up on the issue as it is now taking a toll on his credibility. Even his ex-wife Denise Richards jumped in on the controversy to prove her allegations that Sheen is delusional.

Despite all this, you still have to give it to Sheen. Who else was bold enough to even conjure up a fictional face-to-face with the President to challenge the long-held “truth” about the 9/11 reports? It takes pure guts to stand up for what he believes is the truth, even if nothing substantial can come out of it.

It’s got to be the shirts

If you’re into Charlie Sheen stuff, it’s worth examining how he carries himself with those swanky shirts he dons. You’ve got to love how Sheen created a truly unique fashion statement that only his sense of style could make possible. Laid-back, two-toned shirts are all the rage when it comes to Sheen fashion. Man enough to be Charlie Sheen? Go grab a few of his shirts and see how it feels to be in his shirts.

Effortless humor

Have you seen the way he plays clueless as signalled by the way he squints his eye in his movies? And what about the way he picked that poor chicken as he ran out of arrows for his bow in the hit comedy flick Hot Shots 2? From endless wise-cracking monologues to facial contortions, no one makes you fall right out of your chair as effortlessly as Charlie Sheen can.

A true actor by nature

Charlie Sheen is not all comedy. He captured the hearts of millions when he pulled off a critically acclaimed role in the movie Platoon as a newly recruited American soldier sent to Vietnam. His character was faced with various conflicts from all sides, from within and without. Who could also forget the greed that emanated in Sheen’s character in the movie Wall Street?

True, there is more to the person than his fashion statements and the roles he has played in movies and on TV. But one doesn’t need to dig deep into Charlie Sheen’s life just to try and mimic the guy. Just imitating the things he is widely known for on and off screen, including his excellent sartorial habits, will suffice.

The School Boy

Although he was a star on Santa Monica High School’s baseball team, the young Charlie wasn’t an especially distinguished student. However, it was during his school days that he developed an interest in filmmaking. He made amateur films starring his school friends, who by the way included Rob Lowe and Sean Penn.

Pursuing Acting

After leaving school, Charlie took a stab at an acting career just like his father Martin and brother Emilio. Charlie began his screen career in 1984 in the Cold War thriller Red Dawn. He got his big break in 1986 when he was cast as the soldier Chris in Oliver Stone’s Oscar-winning movie , Platoon.

After establishing himself as a solid dramatic actor in another Stone movie, Wall Street, Charlie showed his flair for comedy in the 1989 hit Major League – where he also showed off his pitching arm, and in the military film satire Hot Shots.

Acting Awards

Charlie slowly rose to fame, displaying a knack for action, comedy, and dramatic roles. He was cast in the leading role of the popular situation comedy Spin City and in 2003, he signed for an ongoing role in the popular TV comedy Two and a Half Men. It was his role here that got him well-deserved nominations in the Emmy and Golden Globe awards as a comedy actor. Today, Charlie’s awards include:

2007-2009 Emmy: Nominee, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

2006 Emmy: Nominee, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

2006 Golden Globe: Nominee, Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy

2005 Golden Globe: Nominee, Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy

2002 Golden Globe: Winner, Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy

As if all the good stuff is not enough for Charlie Sheen, he’s up for a cameo return for Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps. Yes, you’ve got that right. The unforgettable Bud Fox, played by Sheen in the original Wall Street some 22 years back, will be reprised in the sequel.

No swanky shirts and humor as dry as a neat martini from Sheen here – just a short and sweet cameo in a role that we remembered him for way back in the late ’80s, when the original Wall Street movie was all the rage. There is pretty much no other insider information for now – this is just about everything we know, and as director Oliver Stone has revealed in an interview.

Sheen made a name for himself in the first Wall Street as a budding stockbroker, eager to get to the top in the cutthroat game of stock trading. In a desperate attempt to snag Michael Douglas’ character Gordon Gekko as a client, Sheen went out of his way and did something that has been proven to land corporate giants in jail: Reveal insider information to Gekko to turn a major deal to his advantage.

Wall Street 2 will include a lineup of A-list stars, including Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko, rising star Shia LeBeouf as greenhorn trader and lead character Jake Moore. LeBeouf’s character is also the fiancé of Gekko’s daughter, played by Carrey Mulligan. Susan Sarandon plays the mother to Shia’s character. Also in the film are Josh Brolin and Frank Langella. Shooting begins this week in New York, and the movie is scheduled to be released in April of next year.

What is yet to be confirmed, a number of fans of the original Wall Street are also eagerly hoping for a special cameo role by Martin Sheen as Bud’s dad.

Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps is an apt title for Sheen’s comeback, and for his continuing success on and off screen. If money does sleep for Sheen, that’ll be the day.

Whatever it is he’s got under his Charlie Sheen Signature Line shirt sleeves, the real question here is: Is it any wonder that primetime TV’s highest paid leading man is something of a lady killer too?

Rumors and unverified sources both online and in other forms of media have listed Charlie Sheen as the second greatest sex legend alive today. This follows a report from Maxim magazine that Sheen, throughout his 43 years of life on Earth, has been able to charm his way to the hearts (and more) of possibly thousands of women all around the world.

These stories rank Sheen in the top 10 of the world’s “Greatest Living Sex Legends.” This list features some of the world’s most prolific personalities, including KISS lead vocalist Gene Simmons, NBA superstar and icon Magic Johnson, singer Julio Iglesias, Engelbert Humperdink, Jack Nicholson and more.

Which parts of the story are really true remains to be seen – these reports surfaced during the time of his messy divorce with ex-wife Denise Richards, and may have been part of a campaign to defame Mr. Sheen. The fact that does prevail, though, is that despite all reports otherwise, Sheen is still not the greatest all-time king of the dirty dance. That claim to fame belongs to the late NBA Los Angeles Lakers super center Wilt Chamberlain, whose record stood at over 20,000, well more than the number the average human male can ever hope to reach in a lifetime.

Sheen, on the other hand, does have a certain air about him that a confidence that beats out other men easily. Perhaps it comes with the total package: Wealth, looks, fame, an engaging personality and a fine dress sense.

We can’t have it all, but we can try getting some of that magic for ourselves – the clothes he wears, for instance!
