Of course the best person to weight in on Charlie Sheen's alleged briefcase-full-of-cocaine binge with porn stars that resulted in a hospital visit—which his reps are saying was just related to stomach pains—is Capri Anderson. You may remember her name from last October, when Sheen, uh, hired the porn star to be his date, an evening that culminated in Sheen trashing a room at the Plaza Hotel and locking Anderson in a closet. Anderson now tells TMZ that the women partying with Sheen are "out of their minds" for hanging out with him, given her horror story.
Sheen was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital yesterday morning—TMZ says it occurred after a 36-our cocaine and porn watching binge with porn stars (Gawker posted a disturbing party pic from one of the porn stars) but Sheen's people say he had a hiatal hernia from laughing too hard. Apparently Sheen's ex-wife Denise Richards and parents, Martin Sheen and Jennifer Templeton, were eventually at his hospital bedside and the Internet has now created the Is Charlie Sheen Dead website.
Anderson also told TMZ she was "completely shocked" about other porn stars spending time with Sheen and called them "idiots," adding, "Why would they take this kind of chance to hang out with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?" Yeah, why?
