from www.tmz.com – Being “friends” with Charlie Sheen sure does pay …

Kacey Jordan, the porn star who partied with Charlie before he was rushed to the hospital, went to cash the $30,000 check Charlie gave her right after she left his house that fateful day … only the bank didn’t have enough cash on hand. So she walked out with $8,000 in cash and a check for the remaining $22,000.

She went back to the bank yesterday (see above) and got the remaining $22K.

At least Charlie’s checking account is still healthy.
