- Heidi Fleiss says people should leave Charlie Sheen alone and stop trying to make him go to rehab. “He is the highest paid actor on television — on a really popular show — and he always delivers by turning up on time and putting in great performances, and that’s all that matters,” she says. “There is no comparison with Lindsay Lohan because she is not functional and is an addict with a sickness — I should know because I’ve been to rehab several times too. It’s not as if we see Charlie smoking a crack pipe or anything, the guy just loves to party, and people just don’t seem to want to accept that.” Oooookay, Heidi. [Radar]

So I hope that maybe we can shed some light on that.” [E!]
