From the looks of things this morning, the Charlie Sheen story has staying power. There is a new tidbit in today’s headlines.
But despite the long-lived nature of this latest chapter in Sheen’s off-screen life, our favorite moment occurred relatively early in all this.
This latest Sheen scandal began last October when he was involved in a disturbance in a hotel room in New York City, where, it was reported, the hooker he had with him locked herself in the bathroom to escape Sheen’s erratic behavior.
Not long thereafter, the hooker in question – or a spokesperson for the hooker, I don’t remember precisely – issued a public statement to clarify that she was not a hooker. She was a porn star.
Oh. That’s different then.
A hooker is someone who is paid to engage in sex.
A porn star is someone who is paid to engage in sex on camera.
In light of this difference, we can easily understand why she found it necessary to correct the misrepresentation of her profession.
