MIKE TYSON and "Jackass" star STEVE-O will roast CHARLIE SHEEN on Comedy Central next month. Comedians Jeffrey Ross and Anthony Jeselnik will also be there, along with TMZ's Harvey Levin. More "roasters" will be announced later. The roast is hosted by "Family Guy" creator SETH MACFARLANE, and it'll air on September 19th. (--It tapes the week before.)
Sadly, comedienne LISA LAMPANELLI can't make Comedy Central's roast of CHARLIE SHEEN in September . . . for now at least. She explains, quote, "I'm actually booked to do a show that night already, but if there's any way I can get out of it, all I can say is, 'Charlie, here I come!'" Lisa adds, quote, "I am personally thrilled to death that they chose Charlie and I'm glad he's desperate enough to have accepted the challenge. I mean, come on . . . the guy was replaced by Ashton Kutcher. "I guess he now knows how Bruce Willis felt!" Let's hope she can make it happen because Lisa is one of the few comedians who's diabolical enough to come up with material that would SLICE THROUGH the countless, played-out Charlie Sheen jokes. Meanwhile, Charlie's ex-wife BROOKE MUELLER wants no part of the roast, meaning that she doesn't want anyone roasting HER. Supposedly, Brooke took time out of her daily rehab commute to notify her lawyers that she will NOT tolerate her name being mentioned during the roast. She's "seriously considering" sending Comedy Central a letter demanding that they cut any mentions of her.
Comedy Central's next roast victim will be CHARLIE SHEEN. The roast will tape September 10th, and will air on September 19th, which just happens to be the same night that ASHTON KUTCHER makes his debut on "Two and a Half Men". Obviously, this is NOT a coincidence. The prospect of stealing some attention away from the season premiere of the new "Two and a Half Men" MUST have played a role in Charlie's decision to do the roast but at least for now, he isn't admitting to it. In the press release, Charlie said, quote, "You could say I've been providing kindling for this Roast for a while. It's time to light it up. It's going to be epic." For what it's worth, Comedy Central has added this tease: Quote, "Charlie has assured us that nothing will be off limits in this roast, which scares even us." Yeah, that's nice. But the REAL challenge for the roasters . . . who haven't been announced yet . . . is coming up with fresh jokes about Charlie Sheen, who's been ridiculed by everyone everywhere for the past six months. Also interesting... Charlie replaces KID ROCK, who was supposed to be Comedy Central's next target. He had to back out because of a scheduling conflict.
A lawsuit was filed this week, accusing a, quote, "A-list celebrity" of giving someone HERPES. The problem is, the celebrity isn't named in the lawsuit. Neither is the defendant, who claims to have met the plaintiff in Las Vegas, and went to his penthouse for, quote, "an evening of prolonged sex and illicit drug use." The festivities included watching porno, plus, quote, "mutual oral copulation, mutual self-gratification, rubbing and massaging each other, play-wrestling, licking and (unprotected) intercourse." Oh, and it was VIDEOTAPED. The plaintiff , who is never identified as male or female in the lawsuit, says that before ANY sexual activity took place, the celebrity clearly stated that he did NOT have any STDs. The plaintiff is suing for at least $20 million. There are very few clues in the lawsuit as to the identity of the plaintiff. Although it does say he has "appeared widely on television and film", and his net worth is at least $100 million. View the full lawsuit papers HERE.
A new CHARLIE SHEEN love doll hit the market earlier this week, but you can't get one just yet . . . because it sold out within 24 hours. It's called "Crackhead Charlie", and it's marketed as a, quote, "Winning love doll." The box also brags, quote, "You don't have to be a slutty porn goddess to party with this radical rockstar from Mars! Just add air and this neurotic nutjob will show you his two and half personalities, warlock, fangs, fire-breathing fists and Adonis DNA. You have to believe a lot of people bought these dolls for the novelty factor alone. But at the same time, I wonder how many people. male or female, bought one for EROTIC reasons.

Either CHARLIE SHEEN'S live shows are wildly inconsistent, or his audiences are. Because Charlie laid another egg on Friday night at New York's Radio City Music Hall inspiring more jeering, booing and walking out on the part of the audience. But there was very little of that at his show Saturday night in Connecticut. Then he absolutely KILLED IT at his second Radio City show last night. Charlie ended the show about 30 minutes early, telling the audience, quote, "You're the best audience in the world most of you. I love you New York. Good night. Thank you." Nobody booed Charlie in Connecticut on Saturday. He did start losing fans about 30 minutes in but then he won over those who stayed. In fact, the audience was chanting "(Eff) NYC" as they left the theater. Charlie even called it his best show so far. Last night was Charlie's second New York City show, and pretty much all the reports we've gotten so far say Charlie brought the house down. He was much livelier, he interacted with the crowd more and they were more receptive to him. He even kind of apologized for the previous show, saying, quote, "I don't even think I was here Friday night."
CHARLIE SHEEN thought he had figured out how to stop his audience members from insulting him. It didn't work . . . and it's pretty obvious why. Beginning Friday night at Radio City Music Hall in New York, Charlie had a "No Heckling" sign in the lobby. Obviously, NOBODY took it seriously. In fact, given the reaction Charlie got that night, it's possible the sign made people harass him MORE. One reviewer noted that people, quote, "read the sign, pointed at the sign, laughed at the sign, posed for pictures with the sign, and then, promptly, ignored the sign. After all they were there to see Charlie Sheen." When Charlie performed at Radio City again last night, the sign was nowhere to be found.
TY KU spirits has created a Charlie Sheen-inspired cocktail called Tiger's Blood. The Bloody Mary has a sake base. Diddy also created his own Tiger's Blood cocktail. It features berry-infused vodka with cranberry juice. South Beach's Red the Steakhouse decided against selling the Two and a Half Sheets to the Wind Martini and a Tigers' Blood Mojito.
Urban-Collector.com is selling Tiger Blood Energy Potion. The $3.99 Charlie Sheen-inspired drink claims it's "made from 100 percent passion specifically to make your brain fire in a way that's not from this particular terrestrial realm." The fruit-flavored punch is sold in a blood bag.
Sly Stallone wants Charlie Sheen to play a CIA agent in The Expendables 2. The role would call for him to hunt down Bruce Willis. Sheen returned to "Two and a Half Men" yesterday. Charlie Sheen's meltdown has been good for Two and A Half Men. Ratings jumped by 7% on Monday night.
