April 4, 2011— -- After the disaster that was his show in Detroit, Charlie Sheen considered scrapping his "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option" tour and heading home.

"There was a moment on the bus when it was like, we can just keep going, we can drive home," he said in an interview with E! News. Instead, he decided to revamp the show for Chicago.

"We talked about it on the bus coming back," he said. "Then when I got back to the hotel and I wrote, we started writing, just to get some thoughts out, some feelings out, just some stuff that would be interesting, just stories, you know, themes, whatever, just bullet points."

It worked -- kind of. A day after he was booed off stage, in Chicago, Sheen received a standing ovation. The most dramatic switch: going from a stand-up style to an interview format where an emcee -- Joey Scoleri, the tour's co-producer -- asked Sheen questions about his life and career. Sheen also axed the warm up comic and some of the video montages that Detroit show goers booed.

On stage Sunday at the 3,600 seat Chicago Theatre, he smoked cigarettes as he dished about his many marriages and his "goddesses."

"They have not disallowed me everything that makes me happy. Period. The end," Sheen said of girlfriends Bree Olsen and Natalie Kenly.

Sheen also talked about returning to his hit CBS show "Two and a Half Men," but not without first saying the "people who run it are blood suckers," according to TMZ.com.

Sheen said he would do the show again if they hired him. He also called his former co-star Jon Cryer a "rock star." CBS and Warner Brothers fired Sheen from the show in March following a series of rants and interviews that slammed "Two and a Half Men's" creator, Chuck Lorre.

Sheen didn't confine his rants to his former show. He also called George Clooney a "sexy robot" who has "four moves" and criticized President Obama.

"This phone trying to call the president maybe not a bad prez but try to get him on the phone ... doesn't happen," he said. "Isn't he from here?"
