Tracy Morgan knows funny. Seriously, go check out a few Tracy Jordan quotes from 30 Rock . So the comedian has come clout when he speaks on Charlie Sheen, and he told AOL this week that the troubled actor’s publicity tour is far more tragic than it is humorous. “I think that’s a train wreck and I feel bad for his two little kids because they’re the bodies being pulled out of the train wreck,” Morgan said while promoting Rio . “What’s going to happen to them? But everybody thinks it’s a joke.” Morgan, 42, is a father of three children and he has battled substance abuse problems himself. But his kids are grown up, and he hasn’t spouted off to every media outlet available about his issues. Nor has he ever claimed to be “winning.” “While this a–hole is going on stage making a fool of himself, his kids are going to suffer and don’t even know it because this is a cycle of abuse,” Morgan said. Shockingly, Sheen is yet to respond to these insults. We’d expect that to change any second now. [Photos: WENN.com]
Harlem MC ditches his street ways for a hip-hop hustle, in Mixtape Daily. By Rob Markman Smoke DZA Photo: Courtesy of Smoke DZA Fire Starter: Smoke DZA Harlem rapper Smoke DZA is experiencing an all-time high, thanks to the change in his hustle-heavy lifestyle. He’s currently on the road with Big K.R.I.T. on the Cinematic/ Def Jam rapper’s Return of 4eva Tour and has also recently released his third solo Internet album THC (The Hustler’s Catalog), but his future didn’t always look so bright. “I’m really talking about the game — the other side and past stuff that I’ve been through in the street,” DZA said of the subject matter on THC. “Just being able to talk about that right now and not talk about that [from jail] is a blessing, because it could have went a different way.” Smoke may have started out on the street hustling, but rap proved to be his true calling. He started his career as one-half of the local New York rap duo Smoke & Numbers in 2004, but split from the group, went solo and dropped Substance Abuse in 2009. DZA followed the next year with his follow-up project George Kush Da Button. It was George Kush that made Smoke a fan favorite and got him the exposure needed to take his show on the road. In 2010, DZA embarked on Curren$y’s Smoker’s Club Tour, a 40-city trek that also included artists such as Big K.R.I.T. and Dom Kennedy. ” George Kush was the beginning of what you are seeing now,” DZA said. Now, with THC, Smokey seems to have really hit his stride. The album, which is available as a free download on his website , features lyrical contributions from other notable rap rooks like Kendrick Lamar (“Uptown 81”) and Kid Daytona (“Cool Sh–“), as well as beats from Hit-Boy and the highly demanded Lex Luger (“Loaded”). Building a foundation was key, and now Smoke said he’s booked for shows throughout the year, including K.R.I.T.’s current Return of 4eva run and another tour with Curren$y next month. Still, DZA, who is independently signed to Cinematic Music Group, isn’t about to let his life on the road interfere with his recording process. The marijuana-influenced MC is looking to drop Substance Abuse 2 as a retail release in September and another untitled project at the end of the year. Things have been going so well for Smoke, he intends to remain independent for as long as he can. “I like the independent route right now because I get to keep all of my bread and don’t have to cut nobody in,” he said. “I would love to get under that [major label] machine someday when the situation is right, but right now, I feel like being independent is the best way for me.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .

Every Charlie Sheen interview and quote is more hilarious than the previous one, until we’re forced to remember: the guy is a father of five. He’s somehow been the primary parent of two-year old twins during the last few weeks of partying and ranting. But that’s no longer the case. Hours after Brooke Mueller successfully filed a restraining order against her ex-husband, authorities arrived at Sheen’s house last night and took little Bob and Max into custody. Charlie Sheen is now on Twitter, as evidenced by this photo of him and Bree Olson , as well as this message: My sons are fine … My path is now clear …. Defeat is not an option! With Mueller in a day treatment facility for substance abuse, her mother will be in charge of the twins while the restraining order – which forbids Sheen from going within 100 yards of his kids – is in place. In her legal declaration, Brooke alleges that Sheen recently said to her: “I will cut your head off, put it in a box and send it to your mom.” She also claims Charlie threatened her with a penknife on February 23. “I am very concerned that [Sheen] is currently insane,” Mueller wrote in the document. “I am in great fear that he will find me and attack me and I am in great fear for the children’s safety while in his care.” Both Mueller and Sheen are required to attend a March 22 hearing that will determine whether or not to extend the restraining order.

Forget Brooke Mueller, Dancing with the Stars . It’s clear which half of this former couple you ought to cast. TMZ has uncovered footage from Sheen’s 36-hour bender last week, as he and a trio of porn stars created their own dance floor at neighbor George Santo Pietro’s house. (Yes, the same house Sheen had hoped to purchase for his adult film family .) Really, we’re not so sure why the public is focused on Sheen’s alcohol and substance abuse problems. His lack of rhythm, as evidenced here, is far more disturbing… Charlie Sheen Dance Party!
