Charlie Sheen’s hard-partying ways have finally caught up with him, said RadarOnline.com. After a marathon orgy at his Beverly Hills mansion that one witness said involved five porn stars and “a briefcase full of cocaine,” Sheen was taken to the hospital on a stretcher, suffering from severe abdominal pains, and was treated for a stomach ulceration. Sheen, who has reportedly spent $500,000 on drugs and prostitutes in the past six months, later agreed to rehab treatment, on the condition that it take place in his home. Sheen’s family, led by his father, Martin, is exploring whether it can gain legal conservatorship over the troubled, 45-year-old actor, so as “to save his life,” a source says.
