Sheen's spokesman says the actor's two young daughters are doing fine after a Mercedes-Benz sports utility vehicle they were riding in collided with a sedan on Pacific Coast Highway on Friday, Dec. 12, 2008, sparking a multi-vehicle crash that sent one person to the hospital.

After being heckled and booed in Detroit, Charlie Sheen changed up his road show for his second stop, using a talk show-style format with an interviewer asking the actor questions about his life.
The changes seemed to help. Unlike in Detroit, audience members weren’t leaving in droves Sunday and seemed more receptive to the actor.
As in Detroit, Sheen received a standing ovation when he took to the stage at the historic 3,600-seat Chicago Theatre. Some audience members chanted “Detroit sucks.”
During the show, Sheen smoked cigarettes and answered questions from a master of ceremonies, talking about his marriages, his career and his life with the women he calls his “goddesses.”
“They have not disallowed me everything that makes me happy. Period. The end,” Sheen said of the former porn star and an actress who live with him.
Sheen also had some snappy comebacks for the interviewer.
Asked how many times he had been married, he said, “Seven-thousand. That’s why I’m broke.”
Asked why he’s “paid for sex” in the past, Sheen responded, “Because I had millions to blow. I ran out of things to buy.”
