Charlie Sheen: Undergoing Life-Saving Detox?

For fans who enjoyed the image of Charlie Sheen as one of the last of Hollywood’s hard-living rebels, reality came crashing down hard when it was revealed last year that the actor suffers from HIV.

Sheen is as famous for his decades of partying and bedding famous women as he is for his acting career, but the diagnosis served as a reminder that the self-proclaimed warlock from Mars is, in fact, quite human.

Sheen has undergone controversial treatments for his condition, often eschewing traditional medical practices, only to return to them when his symptoms worsen.

But that’s not the only way in which Sheen is his own worst enemy when it comes to his health.

One of Sheen’s doctors recently stated that he’s more concerned with the actor’s reliance on self-medication to cope with the stress of the illness than with the illness itself.

It seems the physician is not alone, as Sheen’s famous family is reportedly deeply worried about his heavy drinking and drug use.

Radar Online is reporting today that Sheen is undergoing detox treatment at his father’s Malibu home after nearly dying during a recent bender.

It seems Sheen’s party partner of choice these days is actor Tony Todd, and the two of them have been hitting the bottle non-stop in recent weeks.

Last week, Todd left Los Angeles last week for a gig, and Charlie’s family reportedly leapt at the chance to 

“His parents jumped at the opportunity to have Charlie alone,” an insider tells Radar.

“They asked him to come out and do a detox at their house in Malibu. With his friends out of the picture they thought this would be the perfect time.”

Martin Sheen and his wife are said to be sparing no expense and taking no chances in their efforts to sober Charlie up.

The Sheens’ residence is reportedly equipped with “around-the-clock RNs to monitor him and make sure he stays put.”

“They give him vitamins in an IV as well as Valium and a few other drugs so he does not have ‘the shakes’ or a seizure from coming off all these months of alcohol,” says the source.

The insider adds that Sheen’s parents are doing what they can to make the experience as painless as possible for Charlie, saying:

“He’s just binge watching TV shows and sleeping all day and night while his mother cooks him.”

Though it’s early in the process, the source says all involved are hopeful with regard to Sheen’s prospects of staying sober.

“He is doing well,” the insider notes.

“The hope is that this time the treatment will work. He has had friends try this several times over the years — but it has never stuck.”

Our thoughts go out to the Sheenius and his family during this difficult time.

Val Kilmer Emerges Looking Gaunt After Life-Saving Surgery

In October of 2015, beloved actor Val Kilmer was hospitalized and rumored to be near death as a result of a tumor in his throat for which he had reportedly refused traditional treatments.

Sources say Kilmer, a devout Christian Scientist, was working with an expert who promised to help him “talk and meditate” his way back to health.

After several months of concealing his neck with a handkerchief (as in the photograph above) Kilmer eventually disappeared from the public eye altogether.

He was fitted with a tracheostomy tube in December, and several insiders say it cost the 56-year-old the ability to speak.

Reps for Kilmer have offered very little with regard to news of his health, but they have dispelled the rumor that he can no longer talk.

Sources claim that in January, Kilmer underwent a life-saving surgery, and while his reps neither confirmed not denied that an emergency procedure took place, the actor was not seen in public for several months afterward.

In fact, it was just yesterday that Kilmer was photographed by paparazzi for the first time in nearly six months.

The surgery reportedly removed a several tumors that had spread to Kilmer’s lymph nodes. 

The latest photos of Val show him walking under his own power without any visible scarring. 

However, many fans have noted that Kilmer seems to have lost a frightening amount of weight.

Kilmer, who was sadly chided for his weight gain in the months before news of his health troubles went public, now appears astonishingly gaunt.

It’s unclear if the actor’s weight loss is related to his cancer treatment, but the newest photos of Val have done little to allay fans’ concerns about his health.

Whatever the case, it seems that Val has received or is currently receiving treatment for his health.

We wish him all the best and hope to see the man who wowed with countless memorable performances return to the big screen in the very near future.

Val Kilmer Undergoes Life-Saving Cancer Surgery

In February of 2015, it was widely reported that actor Val Kilmer’s life may be in danger due to his refusal to seek treatment for a rapidly growing tumor in his throat.

Several months later, Kilmer was hospitalized and rumored to be near death. 

The actor pulled through, though he’s reportedly lost the ability to speak.

In recent weeks Kilmer has been wearing a traheostomy tube and waiting to undergo a risky procedure to remove the tumor. 

Now, Radar Online is reporting that the 56-year-old received his first good news in a long time this week when doctors informed him that the surgery appears to have been a complete success.

“Val is telling friends that doctors believe they’ve gotten it,” says one insider, who adds that Kilmer “speaks in a whisper and can’t really talk.”

“Val’s whole mouth is wired up and he has a small whitish square on his throat near his Adam’s apple where the surgery was,” says another source.

Despite that, the second insider says that Kilmer “actually looks pretty good — sturdy and not particularly frail.”

Kilmer has reportedly been receiving round-the-clock support from his family and friends.

Letters of support from the screen legend’s many fans have been pouring in, and Kilmer reportedly plans to address fans once he is through recuperating. We wish him a full and speedy recovery.
