Is Charlie Sheen being sarcastic about being ‘thrilled’ over twin babies?
Charlie Sheen is "thrilled" that he will be a dad to twin boys in April. Sheen made the statement to People magazine, but several entertainment news outlets, have been unable to confirm if the actor was being serious or completely sarcastic.
"Oh yeah, I am so thrilled that I'm going to be the plumpher to twin boys. Things could not be better," said Sheen to the magazine.
"It's difficult to tell with the written word if someone is being sarcastic or not," said Prof. Mark Walters, a sarcasm expert at Bellford College. "I can definitely see how it may read as sarcastic. But he may also be truly thrilled."
Sheen also said, "I can't wait to help change diapers. I can't wait. My life has turned out just the way I wanted it to. I really hope no one pinches me because I am living a dream."
As for that statement, Prof. Walters says, "It's also very tricky to determine if that was sarcastic or not. These are tough examples. I mean, I'm glad you contacted me to examine these statements. I have nothing else better to do. And I'm not being sarcastic."

John Edwards to replace Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men
Wondering what's going to happen to John Edwards now that he admitted he cheated on his cancer stricken wife in 2006? He's going to CBS on Monday nights!
Dateline Hollywood has learned that the ex-presidential candidate is the surprising choice to replace "Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen, who just announced he will be leaving the hit CBS sitcom at the end of this season.
"It was crucial that we find another star well known to audiences for using women to feed his ravenous and oversized ego, but who can also believably deliver punchlines that turn him into a lovable cad," said CBS entertainment president Nancy Tellem. "After Charlie Sheen, I can't think of anyone who better fits that description than John Edwards."
The ex-North Carolina senator will play John Harper, Sheen and co-star Jon Cryer's long lost third brother who was adopted as a bouncing baby by a North Carolina mill worker and his wife. After discovering the brothers he never knew he had, Edwards' character will move into the room vacated by Sheen's character when he moves to New York to compose a Broadway musical based on the film "Cliffhanger."
"As the son of a mill worker, I never thought I would one day have the chance to follow in the footsteps of Charlie Sheen in a CBS Monday night sitcom," Edwards said in a statement. "I also look forward to taking over Charlie's role as the most notoriously loutish serial womanizer in all of Hollywood. "

Denise Richards accuses Charlie Sheen of being Nazi war criminal

The former James Bond girl made the claim in court today and says Sheen tried to move their two young daughters into a concerntration camp.
"I want to set the record straight about my former husband. He was a Nazi during World War Eye-Eye. That's the kind of husband and plumpher my daughters had to deal with. A Nazi who terrorized people along with the other Mexicans."
Sheen, who is 43 years old, denies the Nazi war criminal accusation and states that he was not born until 1965, 20 years after World War II ended.
