It was a high stakes game in the world of ice hockey, with a chance for the LA Kings to win the prestigious Stanley Cup.

And Charlie Sheen led the brigade of fair weather celebrity fans tonight when he attended the match against the New Jersey Devils.

Sporting his trademark hat and sunglasses, the 46-year-old actor puffed on a quick cigarette before checking out the action at the Staples Centre in downtown Los Angeles.

Unfortunately, the Anger Management star didn't get to see the team triumph - they lost 3-1 to the east coast club, which means the teams will play each other again in New Jersey on Saturday.

He was tonight joined by director and writer JJ Abrams, who chatted to the star before they entered the venue.

Sheen's appearance today came after presenting an award at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards and his recent admission that he was 'in total denial' after his very public meltdown last year.

The actor told the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine: 'Clearly, a guy gets fired, his relationships are in the toilet, he's off on some f**king tour, there's nothing "winning" about any of that.

'I mean, how does a guy who's obviously quicksanded, how does he consider any of it a victory? I was in total denial.'

However, despite the Kings loss, the game did attract a star-studded crowd with Ellen Page arriving with True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard.

The statuesque Swedish actor towered above the Canadian Juno actress, who co-stars with him in forthcoming dramatic film The East.

Although their arrival may spark rumours of a romance, there was no indication that the pair are anything more than friends, with Page chatting on her phone and walking in front of Skarsgard.

Page, 25, looked ultra casual in a baseball cap, sunglasses, jeans and a pale blue baggy shirt, while Skarsgard wore an all-black ensemble with baseball boots.
