MARTIN “SOFTIE” SHEEN

HAIL TO THE CHIEF!

“West Wing” star Nicole Robinson — who plays Aide to the White House Chief of Staff — left the set in tears after “President” Martin Sheen objecter to her leaving early to catch a plane to Las Vegas for her comedy booking at the Riviera Hotel! Nicole had permission from producers to split early, but Sheen bellowed, “Where do you think you’re going?” When she tried to explain, Sheen ranted that they were a team — she should stay late like everyone else! Nicole tearfully promised it’d never happen again. “Well then — get out of here!” snapped Sheen. (You wanna smack the ol’ bastard, right? Come on, kids… you know Sheen’s a softie. Buckle up for a happy ending!) When Nicole hit the stage that night, she nearly bawled like a baby — because sitting ringside was a grinning Sheen and the entire “WW” cast that he’d transported to Vegas by private bus!
