First, it was the Charlie Sheen HBO show that never was. Now comes the Charlie Sheen memoir about his eight years on CBS’ Two and a Half Men. In his daily update to TMZ, the troubled star says he is working on a tell-all book about what happened behind the scenes of the hit show. That is, of course, if there is anything left unsaid after Sheen is done with his current radio show speaking tour/gossip site confessions. Sheen says he plans to start the bidding for the book at $10 million, which is about how much he is poised to lose from the show scrapping production on 8 episodes of its eighth-season order because of his personal problems.

That sounds about right. Can’t wait to read the book. Granted, it’ll never happen, because the men will be dead in a week, but still… awesome. Would love to see a book on his other theories as well. And his sex life. Who am I kidding? Stay alive and become an author, C-dawg!
Your Family and Yourself have been giving Us great entertainment
thru the years. As one of your Fans I stand with you all the way “We love you Charlie” for your Fan’s sake n your family’s Please if you have a drinking problem (which is none of our business)seek help for it before it over takes you. I seen your father go into the hospital to see you and the worry on his face said it all (sorry Mr. Sheen for the disrespect the media has given you if they won’t say sorry I will)I just want to say to the Sheen family Thank You for the great entertainment you have given Us.
Here, here! Team Sheen! Get the bastards, Charlie. Love and support you! You’ve always turned lemons into lemonade. I wish you all the best and will buy your book!!!
when you are rich and white, you can do and say anything & people will still cheer you on
Having proclaimed himself a “Vatican assassin warlord” with “fire-breathing fists” I guess the only thing left is for him to UNLEASH THE KRAKEN!!!
I’m sick of the Team Charlie supporters who absolutely do not care about his health and safety.
So to Sharon, Mr. Red, Chas. and Just Sayin’, you all suck! And so does Charlie Sheen. He needs help or he’ll die and go to hell!
There is no hell.
What a lunatic. I hope the studio does right by the 2 1/2 crew and staff. But I’m glad they pulled this idiot off television.
‘Does right by the crew?’ I’m sorry — do you mean pay them for work they aren’t doing? Comments like this make it tough to stay pro-union.
oh you mean those souls who make $50k-75k a year doing lighting, building sets and so on? The ones who built their personal annual budget for their family around having 22 or 24 episodes a season and are now going to miss 8 pay checks because of a coke head.
The crew was told they’d be returning to work for a final four episodes, so they weren’t supposed to look for new jobs. They’ve missed a month of work waiting to come back for the end of this season AND FOR NEXT SEASON. In other words, management misled them.
In what union-busting fantasy do you think they deserve to be treated this way without any compensation?
It’s amazing how no one ever hears about the high-end drug dealers being arrested as these sad high profile end-users continue to spiral into the abyss.
Don’t be surprised if the “suspension” of “Two and a Half Men” becomes “cancellation” on Monday (February 28th) or Tuesday (March 1st) of this coming week.
The show is toast.
At a salary of $1.8M per episode, he actually stands to lose $14.4M since eight shows won’t be shot this season.
True, however what I don’t understand is that he currently has residuals coming out of TWO AND A HALF MEN in syndication… He is/will already be rich beyond compare – as in, won’t have to work for 10 years. Why the need for this book to make another $10M? Just greed?
What do you expect from Bud Fox? He was trained by the best greedy bastard of all time, Gordon Gekko.
Plus the back-end money those 8 would represent for DVD and Syndication – 8 less episodes means the DVD set for the season will be smaller and generate less revenue with a lower SRP, and 8 episodes not in syndication represents a week and a half worth of shows in each cycle not generating revenue!
I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry. Never mind Sheen’s personal delusions, only someone in Hollywood could think that publishers hand out eight-figure advances, even to of-the-moment scandalous celebrities.
Charlie,
We don’t want to read what you think about your cast and crew.
We want to read what your crew and cast thinks about you.
The producer should write a tell-all titled “How My Smash-Hit Show Got Prematurely Cancelled Thanks To the Rants Of The Star”.
HEARE, HEARE!
Hear hear! Tell-all books of juicy details about a star’s “nightmare descent into booze and pills” generally are not written by the star himself. We want the wallowing and the filth and the hookers and blow, not “Chuck Lorre was a meaniepants who wouldn’t let me work coked up!”
In other words, I’d much rather hear Jon Cryer’s take on this.
Sheen’s title: “My short cummings.”
The book will have pop-ups.
Why read about it in a book – if it’s even real – he’ll be spouting his mouth off in public again before he can shift the hookers out of his way to even find a keyboard.
Assuming he can recognise one out of his head on drugs. Or is this book deal like the HBO show he was going to get $5 million an episode for? A figment of his manic, drug-addled, whore-rotted brain?
The man’s a joke.
I wonder if his porn-star girlfriends will proof-read the copy…
Proof read? That would imply they can read. More likely they will be dealing with little Charlie and blue pills.
Does anyone care about this clown anymore? Is he just making shit up to keep his name in the press? Perhaps we’ll read soon that he cured Cancer or that Lindsey Lohan is his illegitimate daughter.
No, nobody cares. They’re just having fun watching the huge wreck unfold. Charlie Sheen was good in this show because it was a perfect match for him. Not because he can make bad writing seem brilliant he’s that much of a genius (which is his story). See Wall Street Money Never Sleeps. All he did was a cameo and he was horrible. Very bad acting and looked terrible on big screen. Can’t even imagine him in a movie anymore.
I care. Obviously you care enough to post. Enough said. CharlieTV. All Charlie. All the time!!!!
Dead by August 2011.
I think the writers and producers should huddle and find a way to go on without Charlie Sheen. Pull out all the stops to teach this turd a lesson. Write some great material and bring in a new “Half” since Angus T. Jones is 17 years old already.
The show can still work successfully without Sheen and his antics.I’ll stay glued to Two and a Half Men if CBS fires this a-hole. I think the writers and producers should huddle and find a way to go on without Charlie Sheen. Pull out all the stops to teach this turd a lesson. Write some great material and bring in a new “Half” since Angus T. Jones is 17 years old already. The show can still work successfully without Sheen and his antics. This guy should find it very hard to find work in the future.
There’s a simple fix for the next season that would make the show into an event: instead of finding some actor to replace Sheen, or writing him out, go the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus route. At what Charlie was making per episode it couldn’t be too hard to get some well known names to take on a single week. So, write the character of Charlie Harper exactly as he has always been written and sub in a different guest star every week in the role: this week Charlie is played by Bruce Willis, next week it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger (he’s looking for a gig now, right?) next week Zach Galifianakis, next week Steve Carrell, nezt week Helen Murren… whoever. They could have a lot of fun with this and go out with a bang, given this would probably be the last season anyway (if not, by the time enough substitutions had been made and they picked one single actor to play the part the next season it wouldn’t be so completely Charlie’s role anymore.)
Not good!! going to miss two and I half men.
Please oh please don’t let this awful excuse for a man get his money.
Not good!! going to miss two and a half men.
I hear that Charlie is in talks to star in a new tv series tentatively titled Charlie in Charge. The plot of the show is that Charlie is a babysitter who is paid to babysit some hot and spoiled teenage heiresses who are seniors in high school! The show will star Charlie Sheen, Kim and Khloe Kardashian as the teenage girls. The show is created by Jeff Zucker and will be Executive Produced by Ben Silverman and Dawn Ostroff. LOL!!!
Ok now this is becoming borderline. Or is it a PR stunt of sorts. I don’t know what to think anymore. Dude had had way too many delusionaltinis and now it’s a sad spectacle.
I don’t understand why LAPD dis not raid the Sheen residence, pick up the witnesses and arrest both Sheen and his supplier? Anyone who can deliver bricks of coke is a major dealer, which leads to a big supplier. Hello LAPD, anyone home?
I find it absurd people spoke freely about this matter in the media and it’s likely this dealer made a drop somewhere else last night for another client.
Someone, or the entire LAPD, made the DEA a laughing stock. It simply does not make sense.
There’s no statute. There’s still time to open this case.
Any Grand Jury member reading this?
It’s called “budget cutbacks.” Since no one wants to pay taxes, we have an under-staffed and under-funded police department. And with what little they still have, the police department is trying to cope with violent crime. Drug abuse by celebrities may be high profile, but it is not high priority.
Charlie Sheen is rich and famous.
As long as he doesn’t brutally murder someone in front of a half dozen witnesses, the law doesn’t apply to him.
Infamous — yes. Famous — no.
I work in film/tv production and I must say, while I feel for the crew, they all know this is freelance work and it comes without security. A show could be cancelled at any time, whether it’s because of low ratings, internal politics, it’s time to end, or the star is a drug addict. This is the life we have chosen.
People aren’t suggesting the crew be compensated for the show being cancelled. They need to be compensated because they’ve been held in limbo, unable to take other jobs, because they have to be ready to get back to the show as soon as the star sobers up.
If an employer insists that you be on call and not take any other work, they have to pay you for that.
lisa
charlie didn’t cancel the production it was Bruce.
I guess most people here haven’t “experienced” Bruce.
Charlie,
you are in seriously bad shape. Worse than Brittany Spears was!
Get some damn help & quit making an ass out of yourself & your family!! 2000 mgs of Lithium will do you some real good if yu make it to live that long! Get some help please so we can continue to see you on the big screen!
Concerned
I can’t wait for his book! It’s gonna be gold, Jerry! GOLD!
First of all – what can Charlie have to say that isnt all over the tabloids 24/7?
Second of all – written in his present stream of consciousness state of mind it is going to be incomprehensable as well as may be defaming people to such a point that no editor or publisher is going to want to take the risk on it. Maybe he can self publish. The book signings will be entertaining at least
By next Tuesday Sheen will be so last Friday.
What if we all agreed that everyone should stop writing about Charlie Sheen? Stop talking about Charlie Sheen? Stop slowing down for the car crash that is Charlie Sheen? The man is self-destructing. All of this attention feeds the self-destruction. Can’t we all agree to avert our eyes until his family or his team can be successful in their efforts to try to convince him that he needs some help?
Take your own advice, dear. If you don’t love, stop. If you hate, don’t participate!!! GO CHARLIE!!! TEAM SHEEN!
Sheen = Hero
Lorre = Zero
At least Multi-millionaire Sheen is finally throwing off the yoke and telling it like it is.
Multimillionaire Lorre/Levine and Multimillionaire Moonves just started getting nervous that their golden goose was going to stop laying… Clothed their concerns for their bank accounts/shareholders in concern about “his health.” Bullroar that they didn’t know all about that from the get go — and if the coke and whores wasn’t the main reason they cast him.
Ridiculous. Yet totally awesome.
Sadly he is NOT telling it “like it is”. The man is a drug addict and a mentally ill narcissist. He wouldn’t be able to “tell it like is” if what “it is” bit him in the ass. He has no grip on reality and that’s when and if he is SOBER. The man lives in a bubble. Let him suffocate.
Are you describing Charlie Shen or Hollywood?
Dear Pete,
If you had actually spent any time in Hollywood or the film and tv industry you would find that in many ways it is like every other industry. There are some good people here– sane people… there are also asswipes. Every town has them. Every industry has them. Ours just happen to be better looking and more charming so we get more press time.
Deal with it.
Since you’re referring to Chuck Lorre as Lorre/Levine, you should probably also refer to Charlie Sheen as Carlos Estevez.
Unless you’re just an anti-Semite and not a general-purpose bigot.
Because a user displaying manic behavior is really going to “tell it like it is”
OK! THIS IS JUST SO MUCH FUN NOW WATCHING THIS DELUSIONAL DRUG ABUSING ASS SELF DESTRUCT RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES!
