Charlie Sheen- Crazy, Genius, or Both???

So i have been watching all the entertainment shows lately taking in the new media frenzy on actor Charlie Sheen (as it seems to be on every channel). The consensus from everyone including people from Hollywood and regular folks is that Charlie Sheen has gone completely bonkers!! The more i watch all his social media rants and interviews i have got to wonder is this man really spiraling out of control or is this just a genius marketing ploy? Yes! it is evident he has a drug/alcohol addiction and maybe he is going crazy and heading down the road of destruction but for some reason i think all this media hoopla is just making Charlie feed off all the attention and exaggerate a little. When i say exaggerate i mean 'acting' crazy, i do believe this man has a real problem and if he don't get help he will be in an early grave. Addiction is a powerful demon and it will haunt you til your dying day and if you don't take responsibility and want to help yourself then the path drawn out for you is not a good one. But my question is, what is our fascination watching such a downward spiral?  we sit in front of our TVs and continue to be entertained by people who self destruct. I know its entertaining to some degree but c'mon this is a human being, an incredible actor who is obviously fighting his own inner demons. If someone don't help him, we will all be watching his funeral live on TV and that folks is not so entertaining now is it???

The 2011 Oscars....Hit or Miss????

I decided to blog about the 2011 Oscars this week as i was pretty disappointed with the show. Their aim this year was to appeal to a more younger demographic by having hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco. I don't think i'm the only one who has this opinion but i think the hosting jobs of both actors wasn't very entertaining. James, seemed like he was uncomfortable throughout the whole show and Anne seemed to be trying a little to hard to be funny. It seemed as if the writers of the show was so determined to draw in the younger generation that they never focused enough attention on what the Oscars are know for, and that is funny jokes and skits. The lame attempt at some of these skits they did perform were so boring i turned the channel after only watching for half hour. The only highlight for me was when Anne did a little musical number on her own, this lady can actually sing, and i was shocked, as i didn't know she had this talent. I've been watching Anne Hathway's career and think she is a good actress, and finding out through the Oscars she could belt out a tune made me respect her even more! I've been a fan of James Franco as well, but i think he should stick to acting and not hosting! I dunno if he was nervous or really wasn't up for the job, but he's lack of enthusiasm certainly appeared on screen. My advice to James is "don't quit your day job". My opinion  i think the Oscars was a complete miss! and according to The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and The New Jersey Star (just to name a few) i wasn't alone!
