It's hard to believe, but even Charlie Sheen can get rattled. He admits now that the thunderous boos really got to him when he opened his new roadshow in Detroit. "There was a moment on the bus when it was like, we can just keep going, we can drive home," he said in an interview with E! News. But he stuck it out and holed up instead in his hotel room with his staff.

"I wrote, we started writing, just to get some thoughts out, some feelings out, just some stuff that would be interesting, just stories, you know, themes, whatever, just bullet points," he said. Sheen then got a standing O in Chicago. He's headed next to Cleveland, Columbus, and New York. For more on how he turned his roadshow around, check out Newser here. (More Charlie Sheen stories.)
