Sheen flies on a wing and a prayer

SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Charlie Sheen showed 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 ended it in Washington, D.C., where he was scheduled to perform his stage show.

And somewhere in the middle was a hearing in Santa Monica for his $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.
