Charlie Sheen is the coolest. Not only does he play a character that drinks and hooks up with chicks constantly, but he gets paid more than any other sitcom actor to do it. Now, Sheen has upped his game, by taking out a grudge on a doctor in the funniest way possible.
Sheen and ex-wife Denise Richards continue to fight publicly since the couple’s divorce, and one major issue of contention is vaccinations for their children, Sam and Lola. Sheen is adamantly anti-vaccination. However, Richards ignored his wishes and recently took the children to receive vaccination shots. Not only that, but Sheen was stuck with the $380 bill. So, he did what any awesome human being would do. He paid in nickels. From Celebitchy:
So, there was this outstanding $380 bill that Charlie paid by messenger today. It was a big box filled with $380, all in nickels. By our calculations that’s 7,600 nickels.
We’re told the Dr. is donating the loot to the March of Dimes.
Charlie’s rep, Stan Rosenfield, said, “Dr. Waldstein should spend more time treating his patients than leaking stories to TMZ.” Rosenfield adds, “Maybe Dr. Waldstein would like to be featured in John McCain’s next television commercial [famous for being famous].”
Even though I’m convinced this was a publicity stunt set up by the marketing department of Coinstar, it’s nice to see the doctor give the money away. I actually tried to set up my own charity called March of Nickels in order to undercut the March of Dimes and get this cash, but unfortunately I gave up after encountering way too much bureaucracy and red tape. Which is garbage, because that March of Dimes has had a monopoly on the coin-focused charity industry for way too long. Plus I really need a new TV. It counts as charity if I get stuff for free, right?
