Hard-partying wrecks your looks. So what's up with Charlie Sheen?

If you haven't seen this striking slideshow showing the toll of drug addiction -- you must. The sheriff's office in Multnomah County, Ore., collected mug shots showing before and after shots of drug-users' faces, and it's impossible to look away from the images. But we fear some of our readers are missing the point: Many are asking, "So how come Charlie Sheen still looks good?"

Sheen has had a rough week: an embarrassing outburst on a nationally syndicated radio show, CBS' decision to stop production of "Two and a Half Men." And he's been hospitalized three times in three months -- most recently, after a night of partying. He's been in rehab a number of times, most recently getting treatment at his own home. We don't know what, exactly, he's been treated for, but celebrity blogs are spreading rumors of addiction -- and that's all you readers can focus on, apparently. Your comments below:

Charlie Sheen has money and has lost all his natural teeth. But you would never know that because of the thousands of dollars and handlers he has working with and for him to make him look good. But he is imploding and its about time.

(Editor's note: He's not too far off about the teeth, actually.)

Charlie Sheen has lost many of his teeth, replaced them with gold implants and wears an apparatus in public so that no one will notice. Kacey Jordan, the porn star who partied with Sheen before he landed in the hospital, made this claim during an interview with Howard Stern on Tuesday.

I did not want to believe this.

But now we have no choice, thanks to TMZ, who obtained a photo of the ghoulish grill, taken during Sheen's alleged 36-hour bender. If only we could un-see things ...

Charlie sheen is only in his 40's. I think he looks 10 years older, and that's with all his money going to cosmetic surgery.
