Charlie Sheen: 'I didn't accidentally shoot Kelly Preston... she did!'

Filed under:

Charlie Sheen Kelly Preston shooting accidentGetty

Was there ever a time when wayward actor Charlie Sheen wasn't hitting the headlines?

The erratic star has spilled the beans on the infamous 1990 accidental shooting of Kelly Preston... and claimed she shot herself.
At the time, it was alleged that Charlie himself had accidentally pulled the trigger, hitting his then-fiancée in the arm.

Not so, says Charlie.

On last night's edition of Sheen's My Violent Torpedo of Truth show in Vancouver, the TV star revealed that he was downstairs drinking coffee when the gun went off upstairs.

When he went to investigate, he found Preston standing naked at the top of the stairs covered in blood.

According to TMZ, Charlie's version of events goes like this: Kelly picked up a pair of his trousers in the bathroom which happened to contain a revolver. When the gun fell to the floor, it went off and the bullet hit the toilet. Preston, he claims, was struck by the resulting shrapnel.

Sheen said he knew he would be blamed for the accident... but then it's hardly surprising because Kelly famously called off the engagement soon afterwards.

Of course, Kelly is now happily married to John Travolta who presumably doesn't leave loaded firearms lying about the house.

What do you think? Will Charlie ever settle down? Leave a comment below...

Charlie Sheen got his mugshot taken following his recent arrest on domestic violence charges - but he's just the latest in a long line of celebs to pose for the police paparazzi.

Lindsay Lohan had a bad year in 2007, with at least two arrests that eventually saw her admit possessing cocaine and driving under the influence - leading to a day in jail and 10 days community service.

But Li-Lo looks like Snow White compared to Robert Downey Jr, who was arrested so many times in drug-related incidents that he must have had his own cell. Here he is in 2000.

And here he is again in 2001, while still in the depths of addiction to heroin and cocaine. He's been clean since 2003, fortunately.

Paris Hilton initially got into trouble for drink-driving in 2006, but made matters worse by breaking the terms of her probation in 2007 - so that she was eventually sentenced to 45 days in prison. There was outrage when she only served a few days in jail before being transferred to house arrest.

Hugh Grant looks as sheepish as you'd expect him to in this 1995 mugshot, taken following his arrest for misdemeanour lewd conduct with Hollywood prostitute Divine Brown.
