Saddle Rock Ranch in Malibu, California. CHARLIE SHEEN IS AHEAD OF HIS TIME! Charlie’s real name is Carlos irwin estevez and he’s the son of distinguished actor mar- tin sheen and brother of actor emilio estevez. Born on september 3, 1965, Charlie sheen, like many great people, was destined to become a man ahead of his time. in fact, Charlie could well be the poster boy for the fact that prostitutes are cheaper than gold diggers. if nothing else, his failed (and expensive) marriages taught him that. so, as time marches on, Charlie increasingly marches away from matrimony and its gold diggers and toward the live-for-today, far less costly fun of prostitutes, porn stars and live-in “goddesses.” Charlie has truly become a role model for budget conscious, sexu- ally promiscuous, fun loving men everywhere. long live King of Pussy Charlie sheen! his amazing talents as a player no doubt contributed both to Charlie sheen’s success on Two and a Half Men and his success with a multitude of women, particularly prostitutes and porn stars. he has all the perfect attributes for this success, including: • Hollywood celebrity status. • Non-judgmental attitude about porn stars, drug dealers and prostitutes. • Mastery of the art of seduction. • Knowledge of how to perform comedy, to entertain his fans and introduce pop cultural phrases. • Believing in and practicing sexual promiscuity and open sexual relationships. • Only pursues and seduces beautiful women. • Possess a net worth of millions which is always useful in convincing women to have sex especially 24 CELEBRITY DIVORCES: PROSTITUTES ARE CHEAPER THAN GOLD DIGGERS charlie sheen Charlie Sheen (left) and his second wife the gold dig- Charlie Sheen’s third wife the gold digger Brooke ger Denise Richards (right) at the Undercover Brother Mueller (left) and him (right) at the Planet Hollywood movie premiere in Los Angeles on May 30, 2002.

One would expect nothing less from a “rock star from Mars with tiger blood and Adonis DNA.” If nothing else, Charlie Sheen has proven himself to be an expert multi-tasker. While he was establish- ing his reputation as the world’s greatest pussy hound and drug dealers’ favorite customer, Charlie was accumulating impressive credits as an actor. In the movie world, Charlie has starred in several movies including Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986), Platoon (1986), Wall Street (1987), Major League (1989), Hot Shots! (1991), Scary Movie 3 (2003), Scary Movie 4 (2006), Machette Kills (2013), and Scary Movie 5 (2013). Charlie is most famous on television for his performances in Spin City, Two and a Half Men, and Anger Management. Charlie was making $1.8 million per episode of Two and a Half Men in 2010 mak- ing him the highest paid actor on television. That kind of cash can buy a lot of women and drugs, and Charlie was determined not to waste those opportunities. Charlie was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his acting achievements in 1994. Now if there were only an award for Charlie’s sexual conquests as a player. After a very public and extensive, drug-fueled meltdown, Charlie was dismissed from Two and a Half Men on March 7, 2011. He was replaced by Ashton Kutcher. Charlie went on to star in his next series Anger Management for FX. Charlie’s larger than life lifestyle and legendary sexual adventures has spawned a plethora of Charlie Sheen themed porn movies starring one or more of his porn star girlfriends to the point where they have become their own porn movie genre. Over the years Charlie has participated in three marriages and divorces, produce five children not all in marriage, and had sex with seemingly dozens of former and present girlfriends both porn stars and Hollywood actresses. No one has ever called him Mr. Commitment. September 3, 1995 marked Charlie’s first marriage, to model Donna Peele, which lasted barely a 25 CELEBRITY DIVORCES: PROSTITUTES ARE CHEAPER THAN GOLD DIGGERS charlie sheen Porn star Ginger Lynn (left) and her boyfriend Charlie Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss at Sony Studios in Culver Sheen (right) at the Saugus Speedway on October 6, City, California attending the Comedy Central’s Annual 1990 attending the Second Annual Reid Rondell Stunt Commie Awards on November 22, 2003.

That is, as Led Zeppelin put it, a whole lotta love. At the time of their marriage Charlie described Peele by saying, “She’s an angel sent from Heaven to take me through the rest of my journey.” However, at the time of their divorce Charlie compared Peele to a vehicle, “You buy a bad car, it breaks down.” Actress, model, and former Bond girl Denise Richards (born February 17, 1971) became wife #2 on June 15, 2002. Let us get right to the dirt. Richards filed for divorce while she was pregnant with their second daughter. And just to make her feelings for Charlie crystal clear, she filed a restraining order against Charlie, accusing him of making death threats to her. Clearly, Charlie was accumulating experi- ence for his future Anger Management show. The divorce was finalized on November 30, 2006 and Rich- ards’ payoff for having dealt with Charlie was reportedly: $52,000 per month tax-free in child support, $60,000 per month tax-free in alimony for two years, in addition to a percentage of Charlie’s sit-com, Two and a Half Man, which comes out to $25 million. Talk about hitting the jackpot without even set- ting foot in Las Vegas! For his third marriage, on May 30, 2008, Charlie took a break from celebrities and porn stars to marry socialite Brooke Mueller (born August 19, 1977). They produced two sons. In 2009, Sheen received a restraining order from Mueller. She accused him of assault and of being insane. But keep in mind that Mueller herself has been in rehab for alcohol and drug issues. Their divorce was finalized on May 2, 2011. Mueller reportedly received a lump sum of $757,698.70 plus $1 million for her share of their mari- 26 CELEBRITY DIVORCES: PROSTITUTES ARE CHEAPER THAN GOLD DIGGERS charlie sheen Charlie Sheen’s sex partners and porn stars Melanie Charlie Sheen’s sex partner and porn star Heather Rios (left) and Capri Anderson (right) appearing on Hunter at the FYE Music Store promoting her new CD the web-based TV show Steppin’ Out of the Tabloids The Unexpected on July 22, 2005.

Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • CHICAGO TRIBUNE, April 3, 2005, Section XIV, Pages 4, 5
    CHICAGO TRIBUNE, April 3, 2005, Section XIV, Pages 4, 5. Baring their souls: Players in the porn-film industry shed light on an often-overlooked cultural and economic phenomenon By David J. Garrow The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry By Legs McNeil and Jennifer Osborne, with Peter Pavia ReganBooks, 620 pages, $27.95 The top people in American pornography know that size does matter. No, not actors and actresses like Ron Jeremy and Jenna Jameson, who have crossed over into mainstream popular culture, but millionaire businessmen like Steven Hirsch and Edward Wedelstedt. Their names rarely appear in the press, but the explosive growth of what is now a more-than-$10-billion-a-year industry owes more to the corporate savvy of little-known executives than it does to the sexual skills of the stars. Yet one fact stands out more than perhaps any other about American porn: Astonishingly little serious journalism or scholarship is devoted to it. Journalist Eric Schlosser and film scholar Eric Schaefer have each published instructive essays, but "The Other Hollywood" is the first mainstream book in many years to attempt a comprehensive portrait of an industry that's often overlooked as a cultural phenomenon and underappreciated as an economic dynamo. Lead author Legs McNeil, a former magazine editor who co-edited a widely praised oral history of punk, has teamed with two younger researchers to produce a highly informative tome. But "The Other Hollywood" is not easy reading, even for those who are not the least bit squeamish about the subject matter.
