Live Nation Signs Charlie Sheen And His Machete
Posted: Tue., Mar. 08, 2011 12:27:53 PM MST

LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) -- Charlie Sheen, fresh off of being fired from the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men," has signed a licensing and merch deal with Live Nation. The merchandise deal will include t-shirts and mugs and similar items, emblazoned with some of Sheen's more notorious public statements.

The deal might also, at some point in the future, including a live theatrical tour by Sheen, similar to the outing Conan O'Brien made after he too, was fired.

"He wants to connect personally with his fans and getting out there on a tour and seeing people in person really appeals to him," an unnamed source told the Toronto Star.

After signing the deal, Sheen made a public appearance on the roof of Live Nation's Los Angeles headquarters, wielding what appeared to be a machete, accompanied by one of his "goddesses" and drinking an unknown beverage from a bottle.

Joey Scoleri, Live Nation's senior VP for tour marketing & promotion, told E! News: "Being fired has only made him more popular because he is standing up for himself. He is a folk hero. We're hoping to have some of the items for sale as soon as next week. It's all coming together really quickly. He's got a lot of brilliant ideas."

Sheen, a veteran film and television actor, has been a fixture on "Two and a Half Men" for the better part of a decade, but was fired from the show on March 7th in the face of what appears to be increasingly erratic behavior. Sheen has been hospitalized twice since October and spent a stint in rehab and has participated in a series of interviews in which he espoused his hedonistic lifestyle, made anti Semitic comments (Sheen later denied he was anti-Semitic) and demanded a 50% increase from CBS.

A court also issued a restraining order against Sheen, requiring him to remain 100 feet away from his estranged wife, Brooke Mueller and their twin sons. Mueller claimed that the actor threatened her with physical harm and refused to return their twin sons. Police subsequently removed the two boys from Sheen's home, the Associated Press reported. - CelebrityAccess Staff Writers

If the clips I've heard from his "show" are any indication, this will fail miserably. Dude isn't funny or interesting when he tries to be.

Dude sounds like a rambling coke head unless he's reading a script. His shtick has grown really old, really fast.

"Antoine Dodson" is not a good business plan.

It grew tedious about an hour after it started. 58 cents would cure the whole situation.

I think what most people underestimate is that $2 mil a show couldn't mask the pain of being on 2 and a Half Men.

What's the latest on the homeless guy with the golden voice?

I love them autotunes.

Sheen went from novel hilarity to concern over the fact that he's obviously not living sober or sane to making bets with friends on how long it will be before he's "found dead".

He's been pretty much shitcanned by all the oh-so-generous sponsors. They wanted the quick, cheap publicity when he was on television, but once they found out (shockingly) that he didn't have a spotless permanent record, they quietly dumped him. These same people will probably pay to have Charlie Sheen tweet about Mac & Cheese or Cavaliers season tickets, until he says something they find "too shocking".

Apparently Ted Williams is going to be on a reality show about people turning their lives around after considerable hardship. The story of his discovery made me uncomfortable from the start, because once he started getting airtime you knew that rug was going to get pulled out quickly.

I was happy he was given an opportunity. But adding any kind of celebrity to his addiction was probably not a good idea.

That was such an obvious really really bad idea it almost makes the shit Sheen says sound sane.

Yeah, let's take this homeless guy and then suddenly thrust him into the limelight and give him a stack of money. How could this possibly turn out badly?

ole Ginger Lynn was on the morning news this morning promoting her auction website on which she's auctioning off a bunch of her memorabilia from the years she was Charlie's girl.
