Unraveling in slow-motion

I try to ignore celebrity news/gossip. But as The Borg of Star Trek famously put it, "resistance is futile." Yet, I didn't bother when I came across the latest item about Charlie Sheen. It really is shocking. Per the LA Times, Sheen -- who's undergoing "rehab at home" -- suddenly announced that he was ready to resume work. Sheen made the remarks during a "highly erratic" interview on "The Dan Patrick Show." He declared himself "100% clean" despite admitting that his sobriety is "off and on." Last week, the "Two and a Half Men" star showed up at UCLA's baseball practice and advised the team to "Stay off the crack. Drink a chocolate milk." When Patrick asked about the odd lecture, Sheen replied, "[I] said stay off the crack ... unless you can manage it socially, Dan. If you can manage it socially, then go for it, but not a lot of people can." Sheen implied he could handle it, mostly. Unbelievable. Charlie Sheen is clearly a runaway train that is about to jump the tracks. I just hope, nay pray, that his friends and family are pulling out the stops to help him. Otherwise, we know how this movie will end.
