DETROIT — Charlie Sheen has been, duh, winning in the showbiz world for years, starring in top-grossing movies and hit TV shows. He even wrote a book of poetry 20 years ago.
Now, the 45-year-old warlock is coming to a theater near you in an attempt to cast a spell on the world of live entertainment.
A month-long, 20-city Sheen road show kicks off in Detroit, where he's expected to _ well, it's not entirely clear what he's going to do.
Few details have emerged about the format of his proposed performances, although the unemployed actor did say during an appearance on WKQI-FM in Detroit that rapper Snoop Dogg will be at the historic Fox Theatre on Saturday night.
And a former porn actress is one of two women whom he selected to sing the national anthem.
"Detroit, you've been warned," Sheen said during the radio interview.
Sheen's publicist, Larry Solters, said the show will last about 90 minutes and feature guests, music and a multimedia presentation. As for why Detroit was chosen as the tour's first destination: "Why not?" Solters said Friday.
Sheen, the son of actor Martin Sheen and brother of actor/director Emilio Estevez, rocketed to stardom in the 1980s thanks to a series of memorable roles in major films including "Wall Street," "Platoon," "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Major League." He found small-screen success later in his career in "Spin City" and "Two and a Half Men."
In recent years, Sheen also has made headlines for tabloid-worthy marital discord and wild partying.
The wayward star's off-set behavior finally became too much for Warner Bros. Television, which earlier this year shut down production of "Two and a Half Men" before firing Sheen from the CBS smash on March 7.
WELL I KNOW I'M NOT GOING TO SEE HIM. IF I WANT TO SEE SOME FUNNY DRUNK SHOWING HIS BUTT I CAN GO TO WORK
