True to Life: I Thought "The Hangover 2" Wasn't Out Until Next Summer, & I Didn't Realize Charlie Sheen Was the Star!?


I knew that the sequel to the 2009 movie blockbuster recently gave Mad Mel Gibson the axe, but I didn't realize that Sheen had been added to the cast as an apparent replacement! Reports from New York say that the sequel actually played out overnight in the Big Apple, where an innocent night on the town took a sharp and embarrassing turn for the worse for the "Two and a Half Men" star.

The New York City CBS affiliate and the New York Post both report today that Sheen (two months out of rehab) engaged in a wildass night of partying in Manhattan, which included -- as a nightcap -- him taking a hooker back to his Plaza Hotel suite on Fifth Avenue. And that's when all hell broke loose! Just call it the badass bender gone very bad:

Inside the hotel suite, it's reported that a "naked and drunk" Sheen had difficulty locating his wallet and cellphone (not uncommon occurrences when you're blitzed out of your mind), which sent him into a rage. The drunk and angered Sheen reportedly locked the naked hooker in a closet (kind of like the baby and the tiger in The Hangover) and then violently trashed the room, tossing about tables and chairs like he was in a hardcore wrestling match and -- just for good measure -- taking his rage out on an innocent chandelier. The price tag on this little rampage? 7000 smackers.

Apparently hearing this noisy ruckus, the naked hooker in the closet reportedly "feared for her life" and called the hotel's front desk from her cell phone and started screaming that her life was in danger. The hotel called the cops, who were welcomed at the suite by a passed out and "incoherent" Sheen who "started screaming slurs at the cops" (no word yet on the nature of the slurs -- I just hope Charlie didn't go Gibson on their ass, because that dude has been basically blackballed from Hollywood for some of his past drunken rants).

The cops reportedly gave Sheen a choice: The hospital or the hoosegow -- take your pick. Sheen wisely chose the former, just like the dude who got his tooth busted out in The Hangover. But here's the kicker: It seems Sheen was taken to the hospital by his ex-wife Denise Richards, who was also staying at the hotel (in a separate room) with Sheen's two daughters! That must have been quite the scene: "You two keep sleeping -- I just have to drive daddy down to the drunk tank -- Be back in a few."

Postscript: No word yet on whether Danny DeVito and Sly Stallone will also be appearing along with Sheen in The Hangover 2, or whether that poor naked hooker ever made it out the closet.
