Joan Rivers: 'I'm jealous of Charlie Sheen'

Joan Rivers has said she is jealous that the public are more interested in Charlie Sheen's 'My Violent Torpedo of Death/Defeat Is Not An Option' tour than her own stand-up shows.

The Brooklyn native, who has been performing comedy for more than 50 years, admitted that she doesn't understand the former Two and a Half Men actor's appeal.

"I'm so jealous," Rivers told The Hollywood Reporter. "He's filling stadiums that I can't fill. Without an act!"

She continued: "I have an act and I can't fill Radio City for a week. Charlie Sheen has no act - he has two bimbo sluts. He's unhappy and he's a warlock and filling Radio City? I'm very upset."

After expressing her discomfort with Sheen's tour, Rivers was questioned as to whether she has gleaned anything significant from the star's sudden upsurge in popularity.

"The lesson to be learned is I should have been into drugs and whoring around when I was younger," she replied.

Last week, it was reported that Sheen split from his former 'goddess' Bree Olsen - real name Rachel Oberlin - during a recent trip to Toronto.

The 'My Violent Torpedo of Death/Defeat Is Not An Option' tour stops in Houston tomorrow night before moving on to Dallas and Denver later this week.
