Monster memoir correspondent and Fixing Famous People host Chris DeRosa sits in for Chelsea and, along with comedian and writer Jo Feldman, dives into Charlie Sheen’s memoir “The Book of Sheen” to decide if it’s “winning” or a monster memoir. From Sheen’s early life traveling for his father Martin Sheen’s career, to his first big break in a B-movie with Laura Dern and George Clooney, they trace every peak and valley of his career through “Two and a Half Men” and his journey with sobriety. Plus: a clown car of celebrity cameos, including Marlon Brando, O.J. Simpson, Rob Lowe, Sean Penn, Jennifer Grey, Denise Richards, Mira Sorvino, Slash, and more.
