SHEEN IT ALL BEFORE

'Madonna: Like An Icon' (clever title) by Lucy O'Brien reveals the chaos caused by various TV helicopters hovering over the marquee and trying to get footage of the ceremony, mainly to see if Sean was crazy enough to go through with it and whether his brother Chris would mistake her wedding dress train for a big white line of something and attempt to sniff it up.

One guest less than impressed with the helicopters buzzing overhead was Martin Sheen, as fellow guest Bill Meyer recalled:

"Martin was freaked out by the media helicopters. He was flinching and jerking involuntarily. He said it reminded him of filming 'Apocalypse Now' during the making of which he suffered a heart attack."

Just what you need at the wedding reception! Robert Duvall striding around with his top off and noting how pleasant confetti smells in the afternoon, while Martin Sheen strips to his knickers and rolls around the floor, smearing himself with the soup.

Let's just be grateful Marlon Brando wasn't invited. Sheen would have been chasing him around the bridesmaids with the wedding cake knife.
