Read more: Charlie Sheen coverage by US media is disgraceful--- treating as a circus the tragedy of a person falling apart

The troubled 'Two and a Half Men' actor - whose public attack on show creator Chuck Lorre has led to production on the hit series being halted - has revealed plans to visit the Caribbean island, which was devastated by two earthquakes in January 2010, to help Sean who has been undertaking charity work in Haiti since the disaster.

Charlie told Access Hollywood Live: "We're going to do a couple things first and then it looks like we're heading down [to Haiti]. And I'm excited as hell because, you know, if I can bring the attention of the world down there, then clearly this tsunami keeps cresting."

In a recent interview with US GQ magazine Sean defended his friend, revealing he believes Charlie simply wants the world to "lighten" up.

He said: "When you divorce the moral judgments, which I prefer to do, I see a guy who has a clearer view of the nature of the world around him than is sometimes comfortable to have. Those are the sort of people who have a tendency to find altered states. But he's a very ironic character. He's got pretension in the crosshairs of his wit. I think to a large degree he's saying, 'Guys, we're only going to be here once, so lighten the f**k up.'"

He'll have plenty of time now that CBS fired him. He needs to take care of his own house first and get psychiatric care.

Good luck to Sean and Charlie at least they are going to help the poor people, and they are away from scumbag media. All the best Charlie Sean in the real world.

I think I will vomit if I hear one more word about that egomaniac Charlie Sheen. His father must be terribly humiliated by his son's words and actions.The sooner the press ignores him the sooner he will grow up.

Maybe a dose of the harsh realities in Haiti will help Sheen put his life in perspective. Could be sanity-inducing.
