Report: Charlie Sheen to Announce He's HIV Positive on the Today Show

I don't "need" to feel sympathy for him.  I agree that he made his choices and I believe that if you live by the sword you die by the sword.  However, he got himself into a damned awful mess with his lifestyle and hopefully seems to have found a little peace by admitting this, as it releases the claims from those who blackmailed him.  

based on his timeline, I think he had his public freak-out after two and half men, after his diagnosis.  While he wasn't publicly as wild before that, he had documented incidents of craziness.  He claims drug use wasn't the cause of his HIV, which makes me wonder what actually did cause it.

I think on National TV he should have said ... "Matt, do you have a pen?" ... "Here are the names of every one I had paid to stay quiet"

Whatever happened to his brother from another mother, Emilio Estevez?

AndI I'm dead certain the LA and State prosecutors will want to know precisely who was blackmailing him. Extortion is a major felony, and if it crossed state lines it's a federal crime. If more than one person conspired then it's a RICO (organized crime) case.

That probably wont go any further.  Too much of a risk other A-listers might be dragged into it.
Right and wrong doesnt matter, "major felony" doesnt matter, its who has all the chess pieces.

... Back to my original point... He has more money,... then all of us combined here at Neowin. ..

That part isnt true, but Im sure the parts about fame and banging more hot women is.

He's always been a bit wired, and a huge cocaine user.

His net worth is about $150 million dollars. I am sure a couple of Neowin members have some coin but OK... We will compromise and say he has more money then 99% of all Neowin members.

I meant more than everyone combined - thats all - a tiny insignificant point on your post - dont mind me - I was bored.

One more site http://www.hivrnatest.com also covered the news.

 

It is really difficult to tell your status publicly. Charlie is a brave man.

WINNING! Oh wait...

Reality Check... HIV is very treatable and even more so for rich people. I would be OK with HIV after a lifetime of wealth, fame, and countless hot woman (often multiple at once). Sign me up!

Must be married, lmao.

Nah, most of my friends who are married have your response. Don't get me wrong, I know they love their wives and kids, but heck anyone would love to be Charlie Sheen (Minus the HIV). The money, and ladies, what a life. If I had his money, I'd buy every active member a new laptop and a subscription to a porn site  (Kidding on the Porn Site)
