Charlie Sheen rushed to hospital [Updated]
Charlie Sheen was transported to a hospital Thursday morning for severe abdominal pains, his publicist told ShowTracker.
Details are sketchy. According to TMZ, which first reported the news, Sheen was transported to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A. at about 7 a.m. Neighbors told the site that it appeared Sheen had thrown a party the night before.
[Update 12:45 p.m.: The Los Angeles Fire Department will only confirm that they were called to a home in a gated community in the 1400 block of W. Aubrey Road after 6:30 a.m. and transported an unidentified patient to a local hospital.]
CBS declined to comment on the matter.
The splashy headlines never end with Sheen. Earlier this month, the “Two and a Half Men” star caused a stir at a TV taping in Las Vegas where he displayed erratic behavior. And we all remember that incident in New York where a drunk, naked Sheen was accused of trashing a hotel room.
And all the antics aren’t going unnoticed by the folks at CBS.
“I have a high level of concern,” Nina Tassler, entertainment chief of CBS, told reporters during the TCA press tour earlier this month. “How could I not? … This man is a father, he’s got children.”
Sheen's hospital visit isn't likely to cause any delays. The show is currently on a scheduled hiatus.
Perhaps Jon Cryer, Sheen’s costar on the CBS comedy, was being clairvoyant when he appeared on Wednesday’s episode of “Conan.” Check out the video.

The hospital has released an update on the reason for Sheen's admission. Apparently, his liver escaped.

Hard to feel sorry for someone determined to self - destruct.

I used to trash hotel rooms naked when I had tons of money from selling cocaine. Unfortunatly that ends in arrest and destitution. He should probably slow down and I should have pursued an acting career. b.t.w. everyone says i look like chuck/ i guess we act alike as well...:)

I love Charlie Sheen. Nobody parties like Charlie. I say keep partying and even escalate the partying. There isn't any red blooded male who wouldn't kill for Charlie's life of hookers, blow and suitcases full of millions of dollars. Awesome guy.
Loved him in Wall Street, too.
Anyone who says he needs an 'intervention' is trippin'. What he needs is a refill.

Carlos Estevez (Charlie Sheen) = a true Hispanic (of Spanish-European descent).

It's kind of weird reading all these messages. The man is obviously on the road to destruction. Maybe he'll get help in time, and maybe he won't. But imagining this guy happy, and wishing him more of the same is ridiculous. Like the man said, this guy is a father. He has children.

"Sheen's hospital visit isn't likely to cause any delays. The show is currently on a scheduled hiatus."
Oh thank the lord for that!!!
Nothing stands in the way of a profit ....lord forbid they miss a taping, then his record of showing up no matter how jaked and baked he is since he's only playing himself on TV .....sicko Hollywood leeches sucking this walking corpse for all he's worth.

Threw a party on a Wednesday. That is something that would never occur to me. I think that's a fabulous idea. And a trip to the hospital the day after....built in doctor's note for missing work. Brilliant!!!
