CHARLIE Sheen showed on Tuesday why sometimes warlocks need wings.
The former "Two and a Half Men" star started his day in a Los Angeles divorce court for a child custody hearing, and will end it in Washington, DC, where he's scheduled to perform his stage show.
And somewhere in the middle was a hearing in Santa Monica for his US$100 million lawsuit against his former employers, in which his lawyers argued for a public trial.
Sheen is seeking custody of his twin sons with estranged wife Brooke Mueller. Their divorce will be finalized in roughly two weeks.
Sheen, clad in a black suit and orange tie in court, didn't reveal the hearing's outcome, which was sealed by the judge.
Mueller left the courtroom smiling and hugged her attorney, but was equally tight-lipped.
Across town in Santa Monica, Sheen's attorneys told a judge that they want his lawsuit against Warner Bros Television and "Men" executive producer Chuck Lorre to be heard in a public court and not through private arbitration as his former employers want.
Sheen's appearance in the Los Angeles divorce court was relatively subdued, though not without the distinct touches he has displayed in interviews and his stage show.
Sheen, who often describes himself as a warlock (among other superlatives), is on a multi-city tour in which he regales audiences with tales of his exploits as one of Hollywood's top-paid actors.
As the judge ordered the courtroom cleared for the custody hearing, Sheen fist-bumped a reporter.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Hank Goldberg sealed the hearing at the request of Mueller's attorney, saying it was "in the best interest of the children" because of "questions of abuse and other inflammatory and emotional issues."
The actor and his estranged wife have sparred in court in recent months, with Mueller accusing Sheen of threatening her with a pen knife.
The day encompassed the complicated life Sheen faces after "Two and a Half Men." Another hearing on custody issues was scheduled for June 9.
