Sheen’s first high-profile scandal came in 1990, when news broke that then-fiancée Kelly Preston had been shot in the arm. No, no, it’s not what you think. According to Sheen, he’d slipped a .22 in his pants pocket the night before, when he thought (mistakenly) they were being burglarized. He then promptly forgot about the weapon and left his pants in the bathroom. The gun went off the next morning when Preston went to move his clothes—with shrapnel hitting her ankle and wrist. Shockingly, the couple split soon after

Five years later, Sheen’s name became further tarnished when he confessed to being a client of “Hollywood Madam” Heidi Fleiss. In fact, he became the only celebrity to fess up to using Fleiss’ services—reportedly spending $50,000 on her call girls. Sheen would suffer the further indignity of seeing the life of Fleiss transformed in this made-for-TV movie, Call Me: The Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss.

No “gun in my pocket” excuses could save Sheen when, in 1996, he was accused of assaulting porn star Brittany Ashland—reportedly throwing her on the kitchen floor and splitting her lip. (He later pleaded “no contest,” landing him a year's suspended sentence, two years' probation, and a $2,800 fine.) Things went downhill from there, as Sheen bounced in and out of rehab following drug overdoses and DUIs

Sheen married actress Denise Richards in 2002. By April 2006, Richards had filed for divorce, claiming, among other things, that Sheen was addicted to porn, gambled excessively, patronized prostitutes, wanted to keep firearms in their living room, and posted an image of his manly regions on the Internet. Sheen denies everything, calling the claims "laughable and inane." Here he is, cheerfully discussing the divorce with Ellen DeGeneres.

Charlie Sheen may have been able to deflect past scandals, but will the public forget his most recent one so easily? It seems unlikely, with wife Brooke Mueller’s terrified 911 call broadcast around the globe. The model/actress called the cops after Sheen allegedly threatened her with a knife; Sheen was subsequently arrested on felony charges, spending Christmas in a Colorado jail. He’s set to appear in court on February 8, 2010.

That's not a really huge feat, considering Kelly Preston dated everyone before she married John Travolta.

Man, I am such a bitch today.

Now, I am not defending Tiger Woods, but I think it's unfair that Tiger has been crucified by the media, gets dropped by his sponsors, and has to go into hiding while Charlie Sheen, who has been arrested numerous times (how many times has Tiger gone to jail? none!) continues to get a free pass.

I don't see Hanes pulling Charlie's underwear commercials.

I remember that she also lived with George Clooney for awhile. I think that was before Charlie Sheen.
