"Charlie Sheen has claimed that he came up with Winona Ryder&amp;#039;s stage name. The 46-year-old actor told the YES Network show CenterStage that before Ryder landed her first major role, he came up with the name.   &amp;quot;We were listening to The Doors, to &amp;#039;Riders on the Storm&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;[Winona&amp;#039;s] real name is Horowitz, and I said, &amp;#039;You know, I&amp;#039;m thinking Winona Ryder sounds cool&amp;#039;, and she was like, &amp;#039;Yeah!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; However, Sheen added that Ryder has refused to acknowledge his contribution.  &amp;quot;[She] never, never gave me credit to this day!&amp;quot; he joked.  The Anger Management star also spoke about his abrupt exit from Two and a Half Men last year, following his public denouncement of show creator Chuck Lorre. &amp;quot;A lot of it was my fault, a lot of it was their fault,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;They went into my personal space, you know? And then my personal space might have been not the most private place in the world.&amp;quot; Sheen admitted that his playboy lifestyle also played a part in the show&amp;#039;s decision to axe him. &amp;quot;It got in the way of the work,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;I like to think that I didn&amp;#039;t get fired, I got traded for a player to be named later.&amp;quot; Watch Charlie Sheen in a promo for Anger Management below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
