PHOTO Charlie Sheen’s Giving Tree Apocalypse Now chest tattoo

Apparently Charlie Sheen’s over-inflated opinion of himself also extends to his tattoos. I have to confess that after I heard Charlie’s description of his latest skin art addition I was thinking to myself, “Man, that thing must be over-the-top cuh-razy!” It’s crazy alright, but in more of a “12-year-old do-it-yourself” kind of way than anything even resembling gnarly gnarlington.

PHOTOS Taylor Momsen wears an “I F*** for Satan” shirt in concert

I used to be a closet Taylor Momsen fan. I kind of liked her faux trashy goth rebel chic style and confess that I would often crack a smile while thumbing through the latest set of Taylor’s overly eye-shadowed eyes and platinum blond hair dressed up in some sort of lacy inner wear as outer wear look. She was the consummate angsty privileged sexy teenage girl with an F-you attitude and an F-me body that literally played the part of private school Goth locker poster girl perfectly.

But lately the Pretty Reckless lead singer seems to be losing her balance while walking the tight rope of rebellious-and-shocking envelope pushing, resulting in her crashing descent on the side of boring. Keep reading to see photos from last night’s Pretty Reckless concert in Toronto to see what I mean. (Censored with uncensored links)
