Celebrity Justice
Sheen to Sizemore: I Feel Your Pain

Posted Jun 25th 2007 2:58PM by TMZ Staff

What the hell was Martin Sheen doing in court for Tom Sizemore's sentencing today? Simple answer, really -- Tom's mom asked him to come.

After a judge sentenced Sizemore to 16 months in state prison for violating the terms of his probation, Sheen told reporters outside of Los Angeles County Superior Court that he identifies with Sizemore because he has, "experience with addiction in my own life and in my own family." And speaking of Charlie ... Martin added that Sizemore and Charlie are friends, and the only reason that Charlie didn't come to court with him today was because he's currently out of the country. Bummer.

Of course, a press conference regarding celebrities and addiction wouldn't be complete without an opinion on the Britneys and Lindsays of the world. Sheen's thoughts: "They ought to give thanks and praise that they're not facing more serious charges, like manslaughter."

6. Martin is a STAND UP guy.

Anyone who mocks him for responding to a mothers' request has their own issues.

Go on....I dare you to look honestly at yourself in a mirror (whipe the coke/crack residue aside) and take a close look at who and what you are?/

Way to go Marty!!

11. Really, some of the best people to take advise from are the one's who have 'been there, done that'.

Martin Sheen is a stand-up guy who just wants to help.

13. I bet a lot of these Hollywood actors get tired of the press constantly asking them about Britney, Paris an Lindsay. They probably want to say who gives a crap but won't since it will be on the television. I do hope Tom comes out of this a better man and wish him the best.

14. I may not agree with him on all his political stances however he is definitely a good father and friend. I remember when he turned Charlie into the police and would not let him take an easy road. He gave him tough love when it was needed.

15. sheen knows whats going on and im glad he was there to support him.

LL and Britt AND of course Paris were all out for attention.
they are lucky they never kkilled anyone !

maybe they need to take a look at the real addicts in life so they can see what it does to you!
