Another Charlie Sheen car over the cliff

Another day.  Another pricey Charlie Sheen car ends up wrecked at the bottom of a Los Angeles canyon.  And another mystery heist.

It’s the second time in five months that one of the “Two and a Half Men” star’s luxury cars has been driven out of the actor’s gated community in the middle of the night (without anyone apparently seeing anything suspicious)  and been driven off the side of  famed Mulholland Drive.

In February, it was Sheen’s black Mercedes. On Tuesday, it was his silver Mercedes S600 (starting retail price $149,000) .

On both occasions, Sheen had apparently left the keys in the car and was unaware anything was amiss until getting a call from authorities after they hauled the abandoned vehicle back up the mountainside.

The keys were found still in the vehicle, which had been pushed off the steep winding road and down the cliff about a mile from where Sheen lives.

No-one has been arrested despite the fact that video surveillance tracks cars going in and out of  Sheen’s  gated community.

Robert Pattinson’s love affair with his old ride

     When 22-year-old actor Robert Pattinson emerged as a big star last year for playing an alluring vampire in “Twilight,” he still drove an old beat-up BMW. 

    But he has now has leased a new car and moved on from his 20 year-old convertible BMW, whose dashboard had reportedly once caught fire while Pattinson was driving.

   Pattinson said the old junker was towed recently and that he had good reason for moving on to another ride, despite the appeal of showing he was still a regular guy who happens to be a movie star.

“I was getting a bit scared that I was going to die in it, and thinking is the street cred value worth dying for? And I kind of decided it wasn’t,” he told Reuters.

  Still, the old car appears to continue to attract Pattinson, who in “Twilight” plays a vampire in a star-crossed love affair. 

“I miss it already so I think I might go back to that one,” the actor said of his old BMW.

Pattinson knows a thing or two about cars. Growing up in Britain, his father imported luxury cars for a living. Who knows if dad would be interested in a certain 1989 BMW?
