Well. Charlie Sheen is at it again.  The actor stars in the TV sitcom "Two and a Half Men" but the show pales when compared to his off air drama. Most recently, the police were called to Sheen's hotel room at the Plaza Hotel in NYC.  They found Charlie drunk and the room trashed. Wonder how he keeps his job with scandal after scandal.
