Charlie Sheen Blames N-Word Voicemail Rant On 'Frustration'
In the voicemails – from 2005 - an angry Sheen rages at his former wife's "lawyer bullshit" in the midst of their divorce proceedings.
He rants, "I guess I should just get used to the fact that...you fire off your nonsense and your lawyer bullsh*t and your f*cking e-mails and then you don't answer the phone.
"I'm just really f*cking mad and you owe me a phone call...If I did the same shit to you, you'd be f*cking furious."
In a follow-up voicemail, Sheen goes ballistic, shouting, "I hope you rot in f*cking hell. You're a piece of sh*t, f*cking liar...I hope I never f*cking talk to you again you f*cking c*nt.
"You're a coward and a liar and a f*cking nigger."
In a statement released on Wednesday, Sheen apologises for "my choice of words," particularly his racist slur, naming his friend Tony Todd, an African-American, "who was my best man at my first two weddings".
Defiant Sheen also uses his apology to further attack his ex, adding, "For the record, my children did not show up today for a custodial visit without explanation.
"So three and one half years later, the reasons that caused the anger and frustration displayed on that voicemail continue to be manifested on a daily basis."
The former couple divorced in 2006 and has since been embroiled in a bitterdispute over custody of their two daughters, three-year-old Sam and Lola, two

Fox News Fires Staffer After She Cheers Mccain
Fox News has confirmed that it fired 24-year-old production assistant Jennifer Locke
after she was seen shouting to presidential candidate John McCain, "I voted for you
in the primary. You're going to win!" as McCain stepped onto the red carpet at last
week's Time magazine gala honoring the nation's 100 most influential figures.
When McCain spotted her holding a microphone emblazoned with a Fox News logo, he
remarked, "You're not supposed to reveal that." Intentionally adding insult to injury,
the clip was aired by MSNBC's Dan Abrams on the "Beat the Press" segment of his show.
The website TVNewser reported that Fox News had called Locke's remarks "journalistically
unacceptable" and wasted no time booting the production assistant who had worked
for Fox News for two years.

Football-obsessed German rock trinity Sportfreunde Stiller formed outside of Munich in 1996. Singer/guitarist Peter "Vasco Nunez de Balboa" Brugger, bassist Rüdiger Linhof, and drummer Florian "Rakete" Weber derived the call from their early association football teacher Hans Stiller, adding "Sportfreunde" (German language for "sports friends") when a rival band set claim to the Stiller name. The chemical group issued its debut EP, Macht Doch Was Ihr Wollt, Ich Geh Jetzt shortly after forming, with the followup, Thonträger, coming into court two long time later on. Sportfreunde Spiller issued their number 1 uncut drive, So Wie Einst Real Madrid, in 2000. Its titular emphasis on the beautiful game further cemented the trio's gymnastic look-alike, and in 2003 "Autonomous," a raceway from their soph drive, Die Gute Seite, was included on EA Sports' FIFA 2003 video game. The third Sportfreunde Spiller LP, Burli, attain stores in 2004. Two years later, their World Cup-inspired fan anthem "'54, '74, '90, 2006" topped the German charts, and when the German national squad was ousted against eventual friend Italy, the band reworked the call as "'54, '74, '90, 2010" in expectation of the next World Cup tournament in South Africa. Later that same year, Sportfreunde Stiller was nominative as Best German Act at the yearbook MTV Europe Music Awards.
