Oh Charlie. He's been having troubles lately whether it be trashing hotel rooms, going to rehab then ditching it for Las Vegas partying with porn stars, knocking (maybe) one up, and so much more.
Yesterday he might have topped even himself, when he appeared on a radio program and basically proved (1) he aint sober, (2) Definately aint in rehab, (3) has no interest it rehab, (4) he's an asshole, and (5) he's batshit insane.
Just watch, and tell me what the hell he's spouting about.
"I have a disease? Bullshit! I cured it...with my mind."
"Newsflash. I am special and I will never be one of you."
Anyway after all that and basically badmouthing and basically burning his bridges by calling out (and issuing a fight challenge in the UFC Octagon) Chuck Lorre, creator and show-runner of TWO & A HALF MEN, one of the most popular programs on CBS and effectively turned Sheen's career around from has-been clown to the highest paid star on network primetime TV....
It might be over. CBS has cancelled rest of the '10/'11 season for MEN and canning four scripted unproduced episodes left on the schedule. And there is a very good chance CBS will just outright cancel the program permanently, despite a year left on the contracts. So Charlie Sheen's mouth didn't just shoot his cash cow, he's putting cast/crew out of work.
What's sad is somehow this insanity on that radio program started when Sheen started talking aout APOCALYPSE NOW, of course the classic movie starring his dad Martin Sheen. Who I might add had a heart attack on NOW and still completed the picture. And didn't call out his boss or the author of the Declaration of Independence on live radio. Or claim 9/11 was an inside job.

Sounds like Sheen's been hanging out with Ted Nugent..
In his interview with Jones, Sheen repeatedly evoked violent images and ideas. He also derided Lorre in an attack that suggested 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,” Sheen said.
“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.
Saying he was told that if he went on "attack" execs would cancel the show, Sheen repeatedly referred to the showrunner as "Chaim Levine." (Lorre's birth name is Charles Levine.)
Sheen later went on to attack Lorre on TMZ, saying he "violently hated" the showrunner, whom he called "a stupid, stupid little man." Sheen challenged Lorre to a fight, saying "If he wins, then he can leave my show." After the announcement of the series shutdown, Sheen fired off an angry letter to TMZ that read:
"What does this say about Haim Levine 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. 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. Remember these are my people ... not yours...we will continue on together... Charlie Sheen"

Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.

Last night I heard they just stopped production of the show, but after hearing some of his rant, it sounds like it's the end.
This morning on the radio they said Sheen made two million per episode. They also said the he was looking into something on Cable which would pay him 5 Mill. Don't know how valid that story is though.

This is one selfish, ego-centric individual. Basically, he's put at least a hundred people out of work all because of his nose candy and affinity for the--ahem--"ladies." It's all about "me-me-me," and that's all. I won't be surprised if both he and Lohan wind up being found dead before the year's out. It's really sad that the world has such people, and what's even more tragic is that they're surrounded by dozens of "yes-men" who constantly enable them to dig their own graves (e.g., Michael Jackson's so-called "doctor"). They don't call it "Holly-Weird" for nothing.

It appears Mr. Sheen is doing what any psychotic, brain fried drug addict would do...blaming someone else for his downfall. Problem is, Charlie got his way for far too long because of his work on 'Men'.
(SIDE NOTE: Hadn't that show about passed its stride anyway? I mean that kid has outgrown the 'cute' stage so how the heck more good seasons could it have had???)
Poor Martin, it must be horrific to watch your child, no matter how old...go down this road, utterly powerless to stop the spiral...

I've been around. Unfortunately my boss has this strange idea that while I'm at work I ought to be working . Combine that with an increased workload because team member is out indefinitely right before launch is due and that means a bit less time for the truly important things in life. Retired/independently wealthy people have it made I tell you. I'm getting annoyed and would love to be self-employed and work at nothing all day.
Anyway as far as Sheen goes as I saw on another site, it's a bit ironic for someone whose birthname is Carlos Irwin Estevez to be taking potshots at someone else's stage name. Whatever. I never watched his show and so won't miss it. You would think that his father or brother would have tried more public intervention but we're all adults and have to deal with our own demons.

Madonne! I'm doing it again ... I'm agreeing with Apple.

I can't agree that 2 and a half turned Charlie from a has been to a star. He did have a very visible and popular turn as Michael J. Fox's replacement on Spin City.
And unless I'm missing something I don't see what's derogatory to Jewish people in any of the quotes*. Is "Chaim" some kind of slang slur?
Sheen is clearly troubled and I question the integrity of someone allowing him on the airwaves in a CLEARLY high/drunk state.Exploitation of the lowest kind.
You can't take anything a person says when he's bombed seriously...anyway.
I exercise regularly. I eat moderate amounts of healthy food. I make sure to get plenty of rest. I see my doctor once a year and my dentist twice a year. I floss every night. I've had chest x–rays, cardio stress tests, EKG's and colonoscopies. I see a psychologist and have a variety of hobbies to reduce stress. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I don't have crazy, reckless sex with strangers.
If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I'm gonna be really pissed.
(SIDE NOTE: Hadn't that show about passed its stride anyway? I mean that kid has outgrown the 'cute' stage so how the heck more good seasons could it have had???) (...)
I used to love Two and a Half Men but this is absolutely true. the writers even came up with a (somewhat) funny sidekick for Jake but 8 seasons is too long for a TV show. once Charlie went thru all kinds of sex related adventures and had to endure a cry-baby period, it was all over.
and I know the formula is bound for disaster but Alan is so funny, I'd almost agree with a spinoff series.

I watch its reruns, but not the new episodes. Not only is Sheen a piece of crap, but they are starting to stretch epsiode scenarios. After so many years, what was unique about the show has become pedestrian. A guy his age in short pants all the time - come on!
"Generosity. That was my first mistake." "Experience must be our only guide; reason may mislead us." "Instagram is Twitter for people who can't read."
There we go with the short pants again. Someone else commented about that. Hey, it's California, people wear shorts. I don't get it.
As far as the show, I am a late bloomer. I only started watching it about a year or so ago, so even old repeats are new to me. I actually find it very funny. A little risque' at times, but mostly funny.

I saw his NBC interview and he does a great Hunter S. Thompson impression.
Long as I remember The rain been coming down. Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
I hadn't seen this latest interview with Sheen until jut now. I don't know that I saw all of it, but a lot of it. He says he cured himself and had nothing good to say about AA (I think he said it was a joke). He said CBS owes him an apology and should "lick his feet."
He really really sounds angry and in complete denial, insisting he cured himself. It is so tempting to laugh, but I think this guy is hitting bottom.

Sheen's good friend, former NY Met Len Dykstra did a radio interview this morning in which he said Charlie's been clean and the producers of 'Men' did the wrong thing because you don't bench your star player when he's in the best shape and the team depends on him.
While I admire Dykstra's loyalty I doubt it's as simple as all that. Charlie may very well be 'clean' these days but his behavior and attitude certainly have a role to play as well.
Incidentally, I also heard this morning that CBS is paying ALL cast & crew for the 4 remaining episodes that were to be shot this season.

Poor Martin has to escape to Malta to get away from his crazy son. You have to feel for the guy. All he can do is watch and wait for "that phone call".

I'm listening to the morning news right now and they said that they took Sheen's kids away from him per a temporary restraining order. It seems his ex-wife says that Sheen threatened to chop her head off. Sheen evidently tweeted something to the affect that he was "up to the challenge."

That's the part that scares me. If you want to screw up your life and kill yourself, adios loser. But those poor kids. They're mom is a junkie and not stable. But to have them with Charlie, I was really worried what they were exposed to. I'm just hoping he doesn't go off and storm in her house and a physical altercation begins. Someone in his family needs to have him forced into a psychiatric hold. Especially with remarks he makes like, "Tiger blood now drips from my fangs".

Hmmmm...your dad's porn star girlfriend and your bikini model nanny (who is also seemingly your dad's girlfriend), with Charlie Sheen as your dad?? Too frightening for words. The kids are always the ones who get caught up in the garbage, poor babies.

I don't know the rules for committing someone, but more and more I'm thinking he's acting very weird (crazy). I know his dad tried but Charly seems to have blown his family off too. I think this last attempt to sober him up made him become overly defiant. Sheen says today, "This is the challenge he's been looking for and he's waiting to take on the task."
They also said that Sheen said (regarding losing his children) that "losing was not an option." The guy has an "indestructible" complex. Poor kids. Both parents need help and what happens to them?

Yeah, he more or less told his dad to mind his own business and stop treating him like a 12 year old. Dr. Drew says he's in a "manic" state now and it's all downhill. But if Charlie doesn't want the help what are you gonna do but watch him die. I laugh when he said his "goddesses" don't just him. Haha. Too funny. You're their meal ticket. What are they gonna say.

Yea and did you see the two bubbleheads in the interview. They play with his kids. One giggling saying "oh yea, I watch Two and a Half Men. He really IS Charlie Harper.
Our local radio station's newest little soundbite is Sheen's "Winning". They've been using that at every opportunity.
