Sheen ‘smoked tennis-ball sized lumps of cocaine’

There's no doubt about it, Charlie Sheen sure knows how to party. Hollywood's baddest of bad boys was rushed to hospital last week with "severe abdominal pains" after apparently suffering a hernia while laughing at something he was watching on TV. That, at least, was the line spun by Sheen's friend Steve Brodersen.

But, according to porn star Kacey Jordan, the reason for Sheen's condition had more to do with the tennis ball-sized lumps of cocaine he was smoking.

The 22-year-old Jordan has told celebrity website TMZ that she was present at a party thrown at Sheen's Hollywood home and that the 45-year-old actor "drinks... any kind of liquor or anything like it's water. He can chug it".

Kacey, who was allegedly paid $5,000 to attend the party, at which there were two other porn stars, likened Sheen's antics to a "suicide binge", though he would probably beg to differ. This is, after all, a man with a fearsome reputation of excess who hit the news last October when he drunkenly trashed a New York hotel room while his terrified escort companion - yet another porn star - locked herself in the bathroom.

When Jordan arrived at the party last Thursday she saw Sheen, who made his name in the 1986 movie, Platoon and who is now the star of TV sitcom Two and a Half Men,  "wearing an all-white shirt... covered in wine stains. All the way down him... down his shirt... his hair's all messed up. He looks up. And he's like... his eyes are all like squinty".

Once he'd polished off the wine, Sheen allegedly moved on to drugs, asking a guest to fetch some cocaine. "A man comes in with a bag of drugs and dumps tennis ball-sized cocaine on the table," says Jordan, whose films include Bad Seed and Lethal Hardcore. "It's like I thought I was like living... it's like Scarface, you know? I was like, 'Oh my God, I cannot believe it'."

Jordan alleges that Sheen smoked quantities of the cocaine (apparently he never does lines of the drug) without much discernible effect on his behaviour. "I've never seen someone so self-destructive and able to take in so much at once," she said.

The party ended when Sheen was wheeled out on a stretcher though he was soon discharged and, according to TMZ, appeared fine as friend Dr Paul Nassif drove him home, the pair talking about "fun things".

It's since been announced that Sheen will spend three months in rehab – as he did this time last year – putting future episodes of Two and a Half Men on hold at a cost to CBS of some $250m. Latest rumours from Tinseltown, however, suggest Sheen will undergo treatment from his LA home, surely a worrying prospect for his neighbours. ·
