Charlie Sheen’s First Live Show BOMBS Big Time – Crowd Boos Through Entire Show. Review

Well, we all new that Charlie Sheen was coming to a theater near us soon, but we had no idea of what he was going to do – or say.
Now we do - and it was bad. Really bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.

Sheen kicked off his “Violent Torpedo of Truth – Defeat is Not an Option” live show Sunday night in Detroit, and even though he had said tickets had sold out in just minutes there were a lot of empty seats.

It seems half the tickets went to people wanting to see the live train wreck and the other half went to media outlets who wanted to cover the crash and resulting carnage.

The show started late, and with some unknown comedian telling very unfunny jokes. The crowd starts to boo. The jokes get worse until Sheen comes onstage to appease the audience. He says he will be back and the bad jokes continue. The booing gets louder and louder until the guy leaves the stage.

At one point he told some guy in the audience, "I already got your money dude"

This is bad, very very bad.

There was music by Snoop Dogg, there was a parade of Goddesses, there was smoke, there was music, and there was Charlie…. alone, in front of thousands of people who suddenly realized he had very little to say but waited for something to laugh at. Was this supposed to be a comedy?

He asked how many people had tried crack cocaine. Everybody started to boo.

Not only did the show start late, but there was absolutely no organization to anything. At one point he started playing an old Johnny Depp movie. The crowd started to boo even loader.

Nobody seemed to understand a word Sheen was saying. People were actually getting up and walking out.

Sheen seemed to just ramble on about, well, whatever he has been rambling on about the last two months; Warlocks, Vatican assassins, tiger blood, winning, trolls, and cocaine.

“Is anybody else as confused by this shit as I am? I wrote every word! They took my awesome children… They took my sometimes bitchin job… And when they thought there was nothing left, they tried to take my titanium heart and brain and spine. But they could not.”

It’s all gibberish. Once again the crowd starts to boo. This show was a train wreck.

One un-fan noted,

“Once the crowed realized there was not going to be anything to laugh at – they turned. People were booing and yelling and it was hard to actually hear what was going on”.

Even Ticketmaster was suspect of Sheen’s power to attract and hold a crowd by not offering refunds if future shows were cancelled.

This can’t go on like this in every city. This show is done if this is what his plans are.

Good night Charlie Sheen. We gave you a chance to redeem yourself and you blew it.

Adam Lambert Thrown Out Of Lady Gaga’s 25th Birthday Party

Wow, who could ever imagine both Adam “Glambert” Lambert and Lady Gaga in the same room?

It all happened last week at Gaga’s 25th birthday party at La Cita restaurant in Los Angeles.

Witnesses say the Lambert was not on the guest list but showed up as a guest of Scissor Sisters and starting getting unruly and out of control.

At one point he was dancing on a table and accidently punched a hole in the ceiling. When he tried to sing a personal Birthday wish to Ms. Gaga he was asked to leave the club. Awkward.

It didn’t stop there. Lambert then tried to smear birthday cake in the face of Ms. Gaga and was promptly escorted out by security.

Lambert later Tweeted,

"Was trying for celebratory gesture 4 gaga's B- piƱata style... instead my fist is all bruised and la cita has a hole in the ceiling. My hand still hurts. #sloppy.”

When asked about the incident Lambert replied, “What do you want from me?”

Ohio Man Gets $16 Million Cable Bill from Time Warner

Everybody these days is trying to trim their budgets and live within their means.

But for one Beavercreek Ohio man, his expenses took a turn for the worse when he received a cable bill for $16 million dollars.

Daniel DeVirgilio, an engineer, told his local newspaper,

“All I want to do is watch March Madness…had I known this I would have bought Showtime.”

DeVirgilio calculated he would have to order almost half a million pay-per-view movies in a thirty day period to even come close to racking up the charges that appeared on his bill. His normal bill usually runs about $80 per month and all he wanted to do is add a NCAA package.

His cable provider, Time Warner, admitted there was a “glitch” in their billing software, combined with a little human error, which incorrectly charged Daniel the high fee.

Time Warner says they are working to correct the problem and will even waive any late fees.

Justin Bieber Cancels Remainder of His World Tour – Developing

Justin Bieber fans were in shock today when the teen heart throb announced that he was cancelling the remaining dates on his world tour.

No details were given other than a statement from his Twitter account saying:

“How could you do this to me? I’m done. Sorry to all of the people that were planning on coming to the world tour but it has been canceled.”

We suspect, however, that this is a cleverly disguised version of an April fool’s prank.

Bieber, no stranger to pranking his fellow teammates, seems to be trying to shock the world into a frenzied panic.

As if we don’t have enough problems already?

Last month, Bieber got a hold of his guitar player’s phone and tweeted that he had been fired and would no longer be playing with Bieber on his tour. Funny.

Relax world. The tour is not cancelled. It was an April fool’s joke.

Rebecca Black, ‘Behind The Music’ Parody on Funny Or Die – Hilarious!

Poor Rebecca Black.

The website Funny or Die did a great parody of the infamous VH1 “Behind the Music” called “Betwixed The Music” and this week’s target – “Friday” singer Rebecca Black.

In this classic comedic parody, the video showcases her “Rise to fame” and then her tragic downfall and untimely death from the dark side of success.

One girl, with one song, about one day…. The road was not easy. After hours of struggle, she finally hit the big time.

Leave it to FunnyOrDie to pick up on this terrible 15 minutes of fame. There is even a cameo from Van Halen front man Sammy Hager.

Black tells in her own words about what happened when the dark side of fame came knocking on her door.

The parties where she was offered the hard stuff - Pixy Stix, Tootsie Rolls, late night parties, and the one time Jay Leno offered her a Werther’s Original.

Oh the shame, the agony, the pity, and the tragedy that was Rebecca Black. We only wish this whole mess was just an April fool’s joke.

Chuck Lorre Reaches Out To Charlie Sheen In New Vanity Card

Ever since Charlie Sheen and executive producer Chuck Lorre began their epic feud, more viewers have become aware of Lorre’s “Vanity Card” routine.

Thursday night’s “The Big Bang Theory” was no exception.

After staying relatively mum on the issue, Lorre once again took to his vanity card to send his somewhat subliminal message.

Lorre, along with other “Two and a Half Men” staff, is being sued for $100 million by Sheen for a long laundry list of issues.

Since his departure from the show, Sheen has embarked on a live show that starts today across the country. Some critics believe the shows will be Sheen’s final downfall as ticket sales have slumped – regardless of what Charlie is telling everyone.

This week’s vanity card was one of the longest in Lorre history, forcing thousands of DVR users to fine tune their pause and rewind skills.

Here is what the vanity card said:

Whenever I've gone through tough times, well-meaning people have told me that God/the universe does not give us more than we can handle. Well, I've been going through a tough time recently, and sure enough, that old saying has been tossed my way on several morose occasions. After some careful consideration, I've decided it's bull$#*!. As an aphorism, it only makes sense in hindsight - after you've managed to crawl from the wreckage of whatever calamity that God/the universe decided to toss your way. No one ever uses it to comfort someone who's been hit by a bus or turned into a puddle of goo by flesh-eating bacteria (although in the right circumstance, that could be a hoot). Another thing I hear a lot is, "this too shall pass." Again, I know these are words meant to reassure, but somehow they always leave me feeling that heartbreak, rage and grief are going to come shooting out of me like kidney stones through an inflamed urethra. For someone in crisis, I think a more accurate and helpful assessment of reality would be, "Love, sex, food, friendship, art, play, beauty and the simple pleasure of a cup of tea are all well and good, but never forget that God/the universe is determined to kill you by whatever means necessary." Consider trying that next time you're called on to do some consoling. If you're feeling impish, you might also try, "According to the rules of comedy, your suffering will be funny after an undetermined length of time. Maybe not while you're having your gangrenous leg sawed off, watching your home burn down or learning how to be intimate with your cellmate, but, in the big scheme of things, soon."

No one can accuse Lorre of every holding anything back, and this message was no exception. This is not the first time the producer has targeted sheen. Just last month Lorre wrote that if Charlie outlived him he would be pissed.

All’s fair in love and Hollywood? Enough said.

Cool Flash Mob ‘Freezes’ in Grand Central Station – Amazing

The group Improve Everywhere has put a new touch on the flash mob concept that is taking root in our modern culture.

If you have ever witnessed, or seen a video of a real flash mob you understand how absolutely amazing it can be when it happens. One of our favorites is the food court flash mob at Christmas.

But Improve Everywhere added a new dimension by actually having all the participants (over 200) “freeze” in place for exactly five minutes, and then reanimate and go on about their day.

I can only imagine what an end time evangelical Christian might think if they saw something like this in person. It must make them think the rapture has arrived or something out of this world is happening.

Just watch the expressions on the faces of some of these people as they try to digest what is happening. It does kind of give you goose bumps.

Enjoy!
