He's Charlie Sheen, and You are Not

He's Charlie Sheen, and You are Not

Say what you will about Charlie Sheen — that he is a raving lunatic, an egomaniac, a train wreck, an anti-Semite, a drug-addled cautionary tale — he has also actually made some sense this past week by offering up a reasonably astute analysis of the relationship between the public and its celebrities. In fact, Sheen seems to have decided to liberate himself by liberating us from the illusions we harbor about the stars.

Most of us want to think of celebrities as ordinary folks who, by dint of talent, hard work and a bit of luck, ascended to the heights. We want to think of them that way, one suspects, because it binds them more closely to us and because it allows us to indulge the fantasy that it could be us up there on the screen.

Jon Cryer Twitter Reports "Fake"

Jon Cryer Twitter Reports "Fake" 

Various media outlets and websites reported that Jon Cryer broke his silence about Charlie Sheen and the shutdown of his hit sitcom, "Two and a Half Men."

Those reports are wrong. The reports said he tweeted his thoughts about the toxic, controversial fight between Sheen and the show's producer, Chuck Lorre.

Cryer's publicist told NBCLA that those reports are "fake." And she says Jon Cryer doesn't even have a Twitter account.

The fake tweet read, "It's too sad! Sorry guys, that you must hear so bad news! I'm also shocked!"

Twitter has since shut down the @JonNivenCryer account.
