Sheen to give $1 million to USO
Yeah, I’m not sure what to say about this. I can’t stand to watch Charlie Sheen on TV anymore, but this is certainly generous, if he follows through on it.
Charlie Sheen announced today that he’ll donate 1% of the profits from his new FX show Anger Management to the USO. He guaranteed a minimum of $1 million will go to the organization. And, there’s an unlimited cap on the final donation, he says in a release from his rep.
“It’s an honor for me to be able to give back to these men and women of the military who have done so much for all of us,” said Charlie Sheen.
I’m fairly sure he made promises to Denise Richards that he didn’t keep either, so we’ll see.
Thanks to Arby and Green Thumb for the link.

the 1% profit from my never watching the show will be $0.
He’s just crazy enough to do it. He’s a wack job, but I would still party with him. Hell, he’s welcome to come out and do the USO thing, if the Army would ever sign off on it. I’d rather see him than Pelosi or Snooki. Course I’d also rather have a rash on my junk than that too, so it’s kind of a sliding scale.
Too many posers saw his Navy SEALS flick and decided they too can be a SOF action guy. I actually enjoyed some of his movies such as The Wraith, Men at Work, Wall Street, Red Dawn, Major League, Ferris Bueller and few others. The Wraith was a hoot – mid 80s candy all the way.
I think Charlies got a good heart and has devoted time and money to AIDS research and some other charaties.
His fixation however, on 911 attacks as an inside job “911 truther” is just plain weird. He petitioned Obama to investigate the conspiracy which BO politely and wisely declined. Bit crazy, but the guy has talent and a donation is a donation.
Why do I get the nagging feeling that somewhere there’s court-ordered community service involved?
This might just be a publicity stunt since Charlie Sheen is in the dog house reputation wise. But any many that goes towards supporting our troops is a god thing.
He IS a jerk … but the jesture is sound! Lets see how it pans out!
I do NOT care for
– cs (Carlos Estévez) or his father
– ms (Ramón Estévez),
I especially DIS-regard, their “vietnam war” movies .
I hope the USO takes whatever it can get, from whomever .
(*sincerely*)
Charlie Sheen is very volatile. Changes his mind with the weather report. I wouldn’t count on him for anything. Wait til he actually does it.
A very generous donation, I hope it goes through. I always make sure I know if there’s a USO at the airport I’m flying into/out of in case I end up needing a bunk ;).
I’m hoping the USO made it abundantly clear it will not accept $1 million in cocaine as a donation.
Like he’d ever part with his cocaine @10
