Allegedly Charlie Sheen's show at Radio City Music Hall last night was better than Friday night's—though, having been at Friday's show, it would have been impossible to do any worse. Sheen "explained" that it was so bad because it "got a little hijacked because I let people get into my magic fucking brain." Makes perfect sense. Last night's audience didn't hold such control over his mind, however, and according to the NY Post he received a standing ovation last night after filling up the show with strange cameos from James Lipton (video below) and Daryl Strawberry. It's clear that Sheen is quite dependent on gimmicks or other people to make his show even a little bit watchable—on Friday night he even asked Chuck Lorre to come to the stage to "work shit out."
Still, the NYC audience (despite being trashed by Sheen in Connecticut on Saturday night) were more supportive at his second Radio City stop—check out some video below:
While in town, Sheen (on top of wearing every New York City shirt on the market—Yankees, John Lennon, etc) was also on Piers Morgan (watch here), and claims he has smoked two packs a day for 25 years, and a CT scan showed he has the lungs of a non-smoker. If you didn't think this guy was delusional before...
