Photo: Charlie Sheen Parties With Mayor Villaraigosa In Mexico
This is winning: Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa partied it up in Cabo last night, earning some high praise from the eternal party-boy himself, Charlie Sheen.Sheen opened up a bar at the Hotel El Ganzo in Cabo last night named—what else?—The Epic Bar, according to KPCC.
Slash performed, and early this morning around 8 am Sheen sent out a tweet with a picture of himself and the mayor: "From Boyle Heights 2 Mayor of LA..! @hotelelganzo 2 party w/SHEEN at SheenZ..! Antonio Villaraigosa knows how to party!"
And wouldn't Sheen know?
A spokesman for the mayor told KPCC that Villaraigosa would be in Mexico until Jan. 2, but it's not clear if the mayor was planning on mixing business with pleasure.
UPDATE 12/30: Sheen called everyone at the bar "faggot assholes" but he told TMZ that he meant to say "maggot." Okaaaay:
