Estevez Says Sheen ‘Focused’ Again

Emilo Estevez says his brother Charlie Sheen is doing much better since his highly publicized meltdown earlier this year.

He’s on a new show and he’s gonna be roasted by Comedy Central – which I think is going to be hysterical.” There have been several rumors that Sheen’s mother has moved in with him.
