WillyWonka 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 The biggest shame is the amount of people he potentially puts out of work.They need to put it into his contract that if production has to shut down because of him, everyone on the show still gets paid what they would have made if he was there...and it comes out of his paychecks. And if Denise Richards has any brains in her head, she has it written into their divorce agreement that Charlie has to have life insurance policies worth big bucks with their daughters as the beneficiaries, because he won't be alive by the time they're grown.

After deciding to do his three-month stint in "rehab" from the comfort of his home, Charlie Sheen also decided he will work during "rehab," so that Two and a Half Men won't fall too far behind. Call me skeptical, but how many people think that this is really going to be effective? Though I agree it's a shame about putting people out of work. Personally I think the show is weak, though when desperate I have watched it, despite Charlie, not because of him. The other characters on the show make it, IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobbyD 2 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Charlie Sheen: 'I'll Pay the Crew' 2/9/2011 12:30 PM PST by TMZ Staff Charlie Sheen has notified members of the "Two and a Half Men" crew that he will pay a portion of their salaries for the two weeks the show has been down ... if CBS and Warner Bros. agree to pay the remaining portion. TMZ has confirmed ... Charlie is saying he is ready to come back to work next week to complete the season. We're told Charlie is upset that Warner Bros. and show creator Chuck Lorre have not offered to pay the crew for the downtime, so he's made an offer to pay 1/3 of the crew salaries if Warner Bros. and CBS each pay 1/3 as well. A CBS exec tells TMZ ... no one on the show is ready to go back to work on Monday. We're told under the best of circumstances the show will come back at the end of the month, assuming Charlie can handle it. And the CBS exec adds, no one has asked the network to pay 1/3 of the crew salaries for the downtime. A Warner Bros. exec would not address Charlie's financial offer but told us ... "We sincerely hope that Charlie's rehab is going well. We hope that he is healthy in the very near future and we look forward to the return of production of 'Two and a Half Men.'"

Looks like Charlie Sheen's wild radio rant on "The Alex Jones Show" Thursday is having a really negative impact.

"Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros.

BobbyD 2 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 Sheen blasts 'Men' creator after show's shutdown By Anna Chan, TV Editor "Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen has responded in an open letter after CBS and Warner Bros. Television decided to shut down production of the hit sitcom. The move by the companies was in response to the actor's rant against show creator Chuck Lorre during a Thursday radio interview and later to TMZ. Sheen gave his letter to TMZ, which reads: What does this say about (Chuck Lorre) after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows ... I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can't handle my power and can't handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words -- imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists.

And he wins for being the biggest arrogant jackass possible during his nosedive. "These are my people"????!??!?! WTF? Seriously deluded. Too bad - I never thought he was attractive, but I always thought he was an unexpectedly strong comedic actor.

alpierce 9 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) As much as I think Charlie Sheen has some major issues, not all of which stem from drug use, I think he is probably right when he says the show would not survive without him. But I also think the show is showing it's age as well. If it comes back next season, I'd be surprised. I wonder what Lorre did to cause sheen to go on such a rant? Maybe nothing?

BobbyD 2 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 After Charlie Sheen's Rant, CBS Pulls Plug on Two and a Half Men By: Glen Levy In the words of CBS and Warner Bros., due to the "totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition," production has ceased on the top-rated sitcom Two and a Half Men. The 45-year old Sheen, who seems to be doing his best impression of how to spectacularly end a career in showbiz, gave a bizarre and incoherent radio interview with Alex Jones in which he tore into his executive producer Chuck Lorre and other targets such as Alcoholics Anonymous, calling it a "bootleg cult" with a 5% success rate, compared to his own "100%" success rate. Going down the same path that some would say was already taken by Mel Gibson, Sheen's spleen seemed to carry elements of anti-semitism. "There's something this side of deplorable that a certain Chaim Levine -- yeah, that's Chuck's real name -- mistook this rock star for his own selfish exit strategy, bro. Check it, Alex: I embarrassed him in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace that his unevolved mind cannot process." But Sheen wasn't done. "Last I checked, Chaim, I spent close to the last decade effortlessly and magically converting your tin cans into pure gold. And the gratitude I get is this charlatan chose not to do his job, which is to write," he said. While Lorre had no comment on either Sheen's remarks or the production shutting down, the increasingly erratic Sheen would not go quietly. In what the website TMZ dubbed an "open letter," Sheen called Lorre a "contaminated little maggot" and wished the producer "nothing but pain." He also wants his fans to start a protest movement for him, which may be difficult considering that he could be down to single figures on that front. "I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong," he wrote. Because of the already existing hiatus in the schedule due to Sheen's rehab for reported drug and alcohol abuse, there were only going to be 20 episodes rather than the usual 24 in a season. This will now become 16, which is an additional headache the network could have done without. "It may be lonely up here but I sure like the view, Alex," said Sheen. At this rate, Sheen may need to get used to spending a lot more time by himself.

akua123 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Sheen says he wants a raise to return to show By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer David Bauder, Ap Television Writer – 1 hr 1 min ago NEW YORK – Charlie Sheen says he wants a raise to come back to the CBS show "Two and a Half Men." The troubled star appeared on dueling morning show interviews Monday to continue an attack on CBS and producers of his hit sitcom for shutting down the show because of his off-set behavior. Both ABC's "Good Morning America" and NBC's "Today" show aired lengthy segments of their interviews in their first and second half hours. It was startling television that overshadowed morning-after Oscars coverage. Sheen boasted about his "epic" partying, said he's fueled by "violent hatred" of his bosses, said he cleaned up from drugs at home at his "Sober Valley Lodge" and said he's "tired of pretending I'm not a total, bitchin' rock star from Mars." NBC interviewer Jeff Rossen appeared taken aback when Sheen said he wanted to be paid $3 million an episode to return to the show. He's reportedly paid $1.8 million an episode now, one of the highest-paid actors on television. "You want a raise?" Rossen asked. Replied Sheen: "Yeah, look what they put me through." On ABC, Sheen said to correspondent Andrea Canning that he planned to sue his bosses. "Wouldn't you?" he said. "I've got a whole family to support and love. People beyond me are relying on that. I'm here to collect. They're going to lose. They're going to lose in a courtroom, so I would recommend that they settle out of court."
