Apparently, Charlie Sheen is just a really charitable guy. Looks like in addition to cutting Lindsay Lohan a $100,000 check to help her pay off back taxes, the Anger Management actor donated the rest of his Scary Movie 5 paycheck to three different charities.

If #winning jokes weren't a great big cliché now, we'd make one here.

Anyway, according to TMZ, Sheen earned $250,000 for his one day on the set of the film, in which he makes a cameo alongside Lohan. News broke yesterday that, after hearing about Lohan's financial troubles, Sheen gave Lohan a $100,000 check to help her cover about half of the unapid taxes she owed from 2009 and 2010 - which leaves $150,000 of the paycheck that was donated to good causes.

The charities were, reportedly, chosen by Scary Movie 5's director, producer, and someone else in production.
