Charlie Sheen partners with Snoop

Bang Showbiz:

Charlie Sheen is set to record a single with Snoop Dogg.

The troubled actor - who kicks off his 'Violent Torpedo of Truth' tour today in Detroit - is enlisting the help of the legendary rapper, as well as producer Robert Patterson, in the hope of launching an onslaught on the music industry.

Writing on his twitter page, Sheen said: "Warlock meets his makers - music makers, that is @SnoopDogg @robpatterson666 get ready to rock the Sheenius within!(sic)."

Post-tour release?

While no details about the track have yet been revealed, the 45-year-old star is reportedly hoping to release the single as soon as he returns from his tour, which ends on May 3 in Seattle.

This comes after producer Ed Meyer announced plans to sue the former Two and a Half Men star for US$20 million after accusing him of intentionally destroying a planned reality TV project about himself and his family.

It is claimed Sheen conspired to intentionally interfere with contractual relations and his parents, West Wing star Martin Sheen and his wife Janet, acted as "co-conspirators" in killing the show.
