This is a little surprising to us.
We caught up with Charlie Sheen today at LAX after he hit the polls to cast his vote, and the actor didn't hold back when we asked him who he thought would win the election. "He's going to be really, really upset that he was beat by a woman," the A-lister said in reference to Donald Trump.
So is he a fan of the Republican presidential nominee? "I'm not a Trump fan. Oh God no! I never have been, never will be. I'm a fan of ... decency, and uh, honor," he noted.
That doesn't mean he voted for Hillary Clinton, though! "I wrote in JFK," he revealed when asked who he voted for. What a jokester!

Hey, that's not such a bad thing!
Sofia Richie grabbed dinner with dad Lionel at celeb hotspot Catch last night, and the pair made sure to sign autographs for fans on the way out. We would guess there were way more people wanting his John Hancock than hers, but due to her high profile summer romance with Justin Bieber, we could be wrong!
The 18-year-old has really gotten the Internet buzzing about her love life in the past several weeks. After calling things off with JB, Nicole Richie's little sis has been spotted hanging with everyone from newly single Brooklyn Beckham to Gigi Hadid's younger bro Anwar.
Not that she's not holding out hope for a reconciliation with the "Sorry" crooner, though.
"Sofia and Justin are not back together, and they never were an official couple. They just hooked up and were close friends. Sofia is still kind of annoyed at how Justin handled a few things, but they still communicate. They haven't hooked up in a minute," a source recently dished to E! News.
"Sofia is chill with the whole situation and not ruling out future possibilities with Justin, but as of this second nothing is happening. It was super-hot and heavy, and because Justin doesn't want a relationship right now, he wanted to cool things down. It wasn't an intentional cool-off. It just sort of happened on its own. They are still friends though and will continue to see each other like they did before they were dating. They are taking a backseat though on the romance side of things and just focusing on being friends at this time," the source added.
Who cares about Sofia, it's Lionel that's the mega star!
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have cast their ballots in their hometown of Chappaqua, New York.
After a few final days of whirlwind campaigning, the former secretary of state voted on Tuesday morning and looked pretty darn happy to cast her ballot!
Clinton was all smiles as she entered her poling place, and looked emotional. Her hubby was right by her as he shook voters hands and smiled for snaps.
On Monday, Clinton attended a star-studded rally in Philadelphia with the Obamas, Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi, and then a final midnight push in Raleigh, North Carolina. Talk about stamina!
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has also cast his vote. The Republican arrived at P.S. 59 in Manhattan on Tuesday morning -- ready to vote. The Secret Service shut down foot traffic in the hour before the presidential hopeful arrived with his wife Melania, daughter Ivanka, her husband Jared Kushner and their daughter, Arabella.

For him to even comment is pretty unheard of.
Prince Harry confirmed his relationship with Meghan Markle in a rare statement issued by the Palace, and the royal made no mistake of the fact that he's pissed over the way the media has been treating his new lady love.
"Since he was young, Prince Harry has been very aware of the warmth that has been extended to him by members of the public. He feels lucky to have so many people supporting him and knows what a fortunate and privileged life he leads. He is also aware that there is significant curiosity about his private life. He has never been comfortable with this, but he has tried to develop a thick skin about the level of media interest that comes with it. He has rarely taken formal action on the very regular publication of fictional stories that are written about him and he has worked hard to develop a professional relationship with the media, focused on his work and the issues he cares about," the statement began.
"But the past week has seen a line crossed. His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, has been subject to a wave of abuse and harassment. Some of this has been very public — the smear on the front page of a national newspaper; the racial undertones of comment pieces; and the outright sexism and racism of social media trolls and web article comments. Some of it has been hidden from the public — the nightly legal battles to keep defamatory stories out of papers; her mother having to struggle past photographers in order to get to her front door; the attempts of reporters and photographers to gain illegal entry to her home and the calls to police that followed; the substantial bribes offered by papers to her ex-boyfriend; the bombardment of nearly every friend, co-worker, and loved one in her life," it continued.
"Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle’s safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her. It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm. He knows commentators will say this is ‘the price she has to pay’ and that ‘this is all part of the game.’ He strongly disagrees. This is not a game — it is her life and his. He has asked for this statement to be issued in the hopes that those in the press who have been driving this story can pause and reflect before any further damage is done. He knows that it is unusual to issue a statement like this, but hopes that fair-minded people will understand why he has felt it necessary to speak publicly," the letter concluded.
The 32-year-old son of Prince Charles and the 35-year-old Suits actress have been seriously dating for about two months. We're not holding our breath for this to end in an engagement, but it's possible!
Katy Perry used every trick she had -- namely the cute-dog move -- to get people to vote for Hillary Clinton. Woof!
The “Roar†singer shared an adorable video on Instagram on Monday, urging fans to vote for HRC for president.
Rocking a “Nasty Woman†T-shirt, the 32-year-old said in the video, “Let's vote for Hillary Clinton. I hope you're making a plan to vote on November 8, or you're going to go vote early and just get it out of the way, you know? Something you're going to do, right? We're going to vote."
She ended the vid by talking to the precious pooch and saying, “Don’t fall asleep on me, we need you." She then ended her PSA by looking directly at the camera and saying: “We’re with her.â€

Madge is with her, and wants you to be too!
Madonna gave a surprise performance in NYC's Washington Square Park last night in support of Hillary Clinton, just hours before the polls opened. The Queen of Pop belted out some of her biggest hits, including "Like A Prayer" and "Express Yourself," during the thirty minute set. The singer also took the opportunity to take a jab at Donald Trump.
"This is a concert that is about unifying us, and it's about keeping America great, not making America great again. Tomorrow we're going to keep America great. We're going to elect a president that does not discriminate," she told the crowd. "New York! Tomorrow is the big day. Are you listening? Do we want Donald Trump to be president?" she added.
Over in North Carolina, Lady Gaga was doing her part to achieve HERstory!
"She stood with pride as she was shamed by her opponent, whose angry, divisive approach to campaigning divided our entire country. There are people around the world who think that this election is a joke, but you know what isn't a joke is your vote," the "Bad Romance" songstress emphasized.
We'll know today if all this celeb support actually worked!

Rachel Zoe cast her vote on Monday after running errands with her darling son Kaius, and we noticed that the celeb stylist was wearing all white. As it turns out, not only did her choice in apparel show her support for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, but there is a pretty significant historical meaning behind it. (And no, it wasn't a coincidence, because this went up as a blog post on The Zoe Report!)
Clinton supporters have been using social media and hashtagging photos of themselves with #wearwhitetovote, which is the official color of the U.S. women's suffrage movement. The U.S. movement took place in the early 20th century, but this fashion statement first made history in 1908 when the Women’s Social and Political Union in Britain chose three colors to unify participants during a demonstration in Hyde Park: white for purity, purple of dignity and green for hope.
Clinton wore white to the final night of the Democratic National Convention and at the third and final presidential debate -- but we had no idea until recently that was why. Now we know!
