Charlie Sheen, the Two and a Half Men star was released from hospital after a psychiatric evaluation. He allegedly caused damage to his New York Plaza Hotel room on Tuesday, October 26, 2010, and was found by the police in a “state of drunkenness”, according to BBC News.

Sheen, 45, was visiting his former wife Denise Richards and their two children in New York, who were staying at the same hotel. According to security, the Hollywood actor became ‘disorderly’ and authorities were alerted. Sheen left with the police voluntarily and admitted himself into a hospital to undergo psychiatric evaluation.

According to police commissioner Raymond Kelly, “No arrests were made. It’s not a complaint” while Sheen’s publicist said the actor had suffered “an adverse allergic reaction to some medication”.

Sheen and actress Richards, 39, divorced with resentment in 2006 after being married for four years. In August this year, Sheen pleased guilty to assault on his third wife, Brooke Mueller.

The home where Ringo Star grew up has been boarded up to prevent Beatles fans from stealing bricks – as mementos – from it.

The house, located at No. 9 Madryn Street, Liverpool, North England, had metal shutters fitted to it, after several people visited the property to remove bricks from the home, which is set to be demolished. The metal shutters represent a safety measure, because if additional bricks are removed, the house could be a potential danger to passers-by.

Fans are applying pressures for the home not be demolished.

According to Philip Coppell, Chairman of the Save Madryn Street Society, “It is encouraging to see that the council has taken steps to halt the activities of the souvenir hunters.

“Fans from all over the world have objected to the demolition and we are still hopeful that we can persuade the city to revoke the demolition order.”

It is the only house associated to a Beatles member – John Lennon, George Harrison, Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo – not having protected status.

A group, The Beatles Society, wants the bricks to be sold off for charity – if the property is demolished – with certain parts to be saved for the local Liverpool Museum of Life.

The local council is determined to demolish the house and the surrounding streets as well, to make place for new housing.
