Oh, this looks ugly. The first show of Charlie Sheen's one-man show in Detroit had people walking out and demanding their money back.

-------------------------------------

DETROIT - Charlie Sheen and his "goddesses" took the stage to thunderous applause Saturday night for the first leg of his "Torpedo of Truth" tour. The 70-minute show hadn't even ended when the first reviews were in, and they were brutal.

The former "Two and a Half Men" star showed that comedic success on the screen doesn't necessarily translate to the stage, and the capacity crowd at Detroit's 5,100-seat Fox Theatre rebelled before the show ended, chanting "refund!" and walking out in droves.

Linda Fugate, 47, of the Detroit suburb of Lincoln Park, left the theater and walked up the street yelling, "I want my money back!"

She said she paid $150 for two seats.

"I was hoping for something. I didn't think it would be this bad."

Sheen's publicist Larry Solters declined to comment after the show, but Sheen reappeared after the house lights went up to thank those who remained.

Fans who arrived at the theater — some who had to fly in for the show — said they were hoping to see the increasingly eccentric actor deliver some of the colorful rants that have made him an Internet star since his ugly falling out with CBS and the producers of "Two and a Half Men."

They got the ranting. It just wasn't funny.

"I expected him to at least entertain a little bit. It was just a bunch of ranting," said Rodney Gagnon, 34, of Windsor, Ontario.




I gotta wonder at people shelling out $150.00 to see an accused wife-beater and unrepentent drug addict arrogantly complain about how badly he's been treated. Get over yourself, Charlie. You lose.

4. For pete's sake, anyone who is upset about this is just stupid.

Anyone who would pay money to see Charlie Sheen is a moron.

6. Too late to Rec, but

I could not agree more with your last couple sentences in the OP. I can't get past the way he treats the few women who are(were) willing to be around him without being paid for it.

9. I used to like him, too

back in the Lucas and Ferris Bueller days, until I discovered what a douche bag he is. Oh well, I still have Martin and Emilio to admire. And Renee Estevez....whatever happened to her??
