DETROIT — Charlie Sheen and the women he calls his "goddesses" walked onto a Detroit stage Saturday night to thunderous applause during the first of a planned 20-stop variety show tour.
It didn't take long for the good will to fade. As audience members at the Fox Theatre began yelling at the former "Two and a Half Men" star for refunds and walked out in droves.
Sheen quipped after an audience member booed: "I've already got your money, dude."
The actor was fired from the hit CBS sitcom in March over his alleged drug use and increasingly erratic behavior. Sheen responded by filing a $100 million lawsuit.
USA Today had a twitterer on the scene live-tweeting the event, producing a string of messages that portrayed a crowd that was increasingly restless and angry.
The twitter feed from USATODAYLifelineLive had Sheen sitting on someone’s lap in the audience, playing catch with someone on stage, and playing videos of an interview mash-up — to persistent heckling and booing.
In one five-minute segment the twitterer offered these entries:
“Sheen: ‘I’m having a great time!’”
“Charlie Sheen is sitting on stage tweeting. Guy behind me just yelled, ‘I want my money back!’"
“Sheen: ‘Tell the guy next to you booing to shut the — up so the rest of us can enjoy the show.’”
“Sheen has lost control of the crowd. He left the stage and ordered some music. Rapper onstage now.”
“The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I don´t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That´s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth.” - Rocky Balboa
think he needs to be coked outta his mind to be funnny.

Charlie Sheen may have made "winning" the word of the moment through a series of bizarre rants that started in February, but in the eyes of his audience at the first stop on his one man show that will travel across North America, he seemed to be losing.
The people who packed the Fox Theatre in Detroit on Saturday night for Charlie Sheen LIVE: My Violent Torpedo of Truth booed as the actor, who took the stage around 9 p.m., launched into a series of nonsensical rants from behind a podium. (Sheen appeared on stage briefly before his set officially began to quell negative audience reaction to his comedian opening act, though that didn't stop the early booing.)
In fact, his rants were so nonsensical that even Sheen seemed confused, and he stopped right in the middle of his speech, saying, "Is anybody as confused by this s–– as I am? The good news is, I wrote every [expletive] word."
Elsewhere during his main set, Sheen also took questions from the audience and showed multiple video clips, including some of his own screen work, as well as an older film starring Johnny Depp.
"Tonight is an experiment," Sheen later told the crowd. "You paid your hard-earned money without knowing what this show was about."
Sheen, who was fired from Two and a Half Men in March, took jabs at the show in his live performance. He also took jabs at the city of Detroit.
"I figured Detroit was a good place to tell some crack stories," he said, before asking the audience, "Show of hands – who here has tried crack? Forget that. Who is holding crack right now? I don't do crack anymore, but I'm just saying."
Their reply? More booing.
In response, the embattled actor told the crowd, "Tell the guy next to you booing to shut the f–– up because he's ruining it for the rest of you."
A Variety Show Gone Wrong
Many audience members seemed to think Sheen wouldn't continue with his tour after his less than enthusiastic reception. "We're happy we came from Toronto to see it here because I don't think he'll continue with the rest of his shows," audience member Richard Carpenter, 45, told PEOPLE. "He's going to take this as a sign that he's not going to be received well in other cities."
Natasha Sutton, 25, of Rochester, Mich., was also less than impressed. "I thought he was pretending he was crazy until tonight," she told PEOPLE. "It was all crap. We'd rather lose money at the casino than come to another one of his shows." And Dave Tholen, 45, of Rochester, Mich., echoed the sentiment, calling the evening a "variety show gone wrong."
For his part, Sheen seemed affected by the crowd response. He never got around to telling certain stories he promised and, at one point, he took out a piece of paper as if to read it, then changed his mind. "I'm not gonna read it with so much disruption," he said, responding to the lively crowd.
By about 10 p.m., the show was over. And despite the mixed reviews, the Warlock did seem to feel he forged some connection with the crowd.
"The most honest city in the world honors the most honest man in the universe #TruthTorpedo," he Tweeted, along wih a photo of the cheering audience.
This guy is not winning, he's going to dry him self out and by the looks of it, already has. No one cares about what he thinks anymore, he's made a few great memes for the internet thanks. NEXT?

If you've seen his stupid video podcast, and still want to pay to see him live, then you should have nothing to complain about because you know what you're gonna get.
Even accepting Sheen's tenuous grasp on reality, whoever thought Vancouver's 19,000-seat hockey Mecca was a suitable location for a Torpedoing needs to lay off the acid, too. The bizarre sight of an empty floor behind the enormous stage created a false intimacy in the one end of the arena open for business. Even then, the upper level was virtually deserted. Rumour had it that 3,500 tickets had been sold, most of those to scalpers. Winning? Embarrassing.
There would have been even fewer present if it hadn't been announced that Russell Peters would be hosting the event. And his arrival, a mere 35 minutes after the advertised start time, would prove to be a rare highlight in an evening of relentless tedium.
"I don't want to say bad things about him because I love him but he's not winning tonight," one woman told CTV.ca when emerging from the “Torpedo of Truth” performance.
A local contest winner also had two thumbs down for the former Two and a Half Men star.
"We thought it would be good times, but it was just bad. It's not even worth the free ticket, “ he told CTV.ca outside Rogers Arena.
Got free tickets and went... show was alright. I went in with low expectations and got a good show. Those who went in expecting comedy..... different story
