The worst thing Charlie Sheen has done this year by quite some margin, worse than his weird stand-up tour, worse than his strange living arrangement with a pornstar and his kids nanny, worse than publishing pictures of his morning crack stash, is that he's managed to get people to start using his phrases as a kind of in-joke.

As if the world's sizeable knobhead population didn't have enough to do trying to fit 'epic' and 'fail' into everyday conversations, they've now also started to use 'winning' as a sentence and a statement. Please fuckheads, just stop. Just go back to valleyspeak if you have to. It's far, far less irritating and it doesn't make you sound as much like a backwards toddler.

Anyway, Sheen's back on the scene, fresh from teaching Chris Brown how to make a media comeback after brutalising your partner, and he's been speaking to US breakfast show Today about what a topsy turvy year it's been:

"Looking back on it, I don't think I would trade it, but there are portions of it I would have amended a little bit."

"I'm seeing my kids a lot more, mending fences with Denise and Brooke, just trying to move forward and prioritise what matters. I think that's where the life is, you know, it's in those quiet moments. It's not the giant TV deal or the big party or the award or whatever, it's the memory of your child's smile at the end of the day that sort of brings that one lonesome tear."

Well, he certainly seems a lot better than he was. Maybe he actually is sober nowadays. Just remember though, if Lindsay Lohan or Paris had done what Charlie did this year, everyone on the planet would be clamouring to tell them what a useless junkie waste of space they were. Charlie Sheen is not a legend, he is just as bad as the rest of the Hollywood illiterati. Only difference is that his dad was the president in West Wing and he was married to Denise Richards and he was in Hot Shots and Spin City and Wall Street and Young Guns and Platoon. Otherwise he's exactly the same.
