The last 12 months have been a bit of a mixed bag for Charlie Sheen. On the one hand, he still has steady employment on Two and a Half Men. On the other, he and his third wife split up after he was arrested on domestic violence charges on Christmas Day in 2009. And in October police were called to New York City's Plaza Hotel to deal with a drunk and reportedly not entirely dressed Sheen, who was in the middle of wreaking what newspapers estimated to be about $7,000 worth of havoc to his room, which was also occupied by a lady of the night. He was taken to hospital. His second ex-wife, Denise Richards, and their daughters were staying in the same hotel, which must have been awkward.
