Bad Week For Charley Sheen - Stolen Cars And Federal Charges
Poor Uncle Charley.
This has been a bad week for the "Two And A Half Men" star.
First, an Aspen Colorado court decided that Charley Sheen would, indeed, be charged for his Christmas day domestic violence charges against his wife Brooke Mueller.
Brooke told police the actor held her down while holding a knife to her throat, and a temporary restraining order was filed keeping Charlie away from Brook and their children. They are scheduled to appear Monday to ask for changes that would relax the order.
Sheen will also be charged with felony menacing and misdemeanor assault.
To add to the problems, Brook just spent a month recovering from a life threatening bout of pneumonia and spending a week in rehab.
Second - Charlie's stolen Mercedes SUV was found 400 feet down a cliff after being reported stolen about 5:00 in the morning. The car is totaled and cops were unable to find any trace of a suspect.
Third - Sheen's costar on "Two And A Half Men", Jon Cryer, received death threats at the studio causing an influx of FBI agents and a removal of the studio audience last month. Whew, who says the Hollywood life isn't exciting!
But there may be a glimmer of hope for old Charlie.
His blockbuster movie "Wall Street II - Money Never Sleeps" is scheduled for release in April 2010. The film reunites Sheen's character Bud Fox with original Gordon Gekko co-star Michael Douglas. The twist with this sequel will be the addition of Shia LaBeouf as Jacob Moore.
But there may be a new problem…
This is a different era. Things have changed since the original "Wall Street" hit the big screens. Some critics are suggesting that with the economy in turmoil, this is the worst possible time to introduce a greedy Wall Street movie. Especially with the banking system bonus fiasco still fresh in everyone's mind.
