Actor Charlie Sheen has been taken to hospital with severe abdominal pains after reportedly laughing too hard at a television show during a marathon party.

The star of Two And a Half Men - the highest paid actor in the US, was wheeled on a stretcher from his Los Angeles home and was closely followed by two young women, celebrity news website TMZ.com reported.

TMZ and RadarOnline.com named one of the women as porn actress Kacey Jordan, 22.

Sheen's spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, told Reuters the actor had a long-standing hernia condition, although he was not sure if that was the direct cause of his latest hospitalisation.
