Fox reps have confirmed a TMZ report that actor Charlie Sheen met on Thursday with several top Fox executives. I have the details. The sitdown, which happened on the Fox lot, was set up by Fox Sports for Sheen to speak with Fox Sports president David Hill. But then Hill invited Fox entertainment chairman Peter Rice and alternative president Mike Darnell. All three top execs were present at the meeting with Sheen. Word is that no show ideas were pitched from either side at what turned out to be an exploratory meeting. It is unclear whether Sheen would do anything specifically for Fox Sports, but Charlie is a big sports fan with a passion for baseball (he starred in the Major League movie franchise). Sheen also has become a major draw on Fox Sports Radio with his frequent appearances on the Dan Patrick Show, which is simulcasting on Fox Sports Net. The news comes amid unconfirmed tabloid chatter that CBS wants Sheen to return to Two and a Half Men following his recent dismissal from the hit show.

He’d do well on talk radio, alongside Howard Stern and Opie & Anthony. Sirius XM is still alive and kickin’, right? Also, a halfhour Sheen doing anything type of series would work.
Dear Hollywood, please stop enabling Charlie Sheen. Thank you. Sincerely, a concerned citizen.
You said it!
i know it seems incredible but he does appear to be off the drugs – for the present – he’s definitely functioning anyway. I can’t think of anyone who has mounted and rode media and social media like this before. I mean, it’s sweaty bareback stuff this is.
I am a big fan. Monday is not the same with out him. I don’t watch TV right now because I have been bored with all the reality TV. It is not enabling to give some one a job either. He needs help not condemnation. Maybe Martin Sheen can get through to him.
Charlie will get meetings with almost everyone.
The smart money is to show interest in Charlie until he either becomes too toxic or until he rises from the ashes …and, can once again line the pockets of his employers.
It will always be about the MONEY, and no one knows what Charlie is currently worth at this time.
I’m telling you all, no one is going to walk away from easy $600M for the next three to four years from 2 1/2 Men. Period. This will be the first $2B show, and for a while. No one is that ego-”testicle” to do it.
They’ll be back after the Marine Layer burns away in So. Cal, and will be calling action on the set soon.
Charlie Parker, get off that stairwell and get back in to bed. And stop wiping your vomit with your shirt. I’m tired of soaking.
I am sorry to disappoint everyone who is pre-selling tickets to this ‘Return of the Living Dead’ or Alfred Hitchcock’s, ‘Rear Window’ but after the first episode, with possibly a higher than usual ‘turnout’ to watch the Prodigal Son sauntering across the boards with slouched shoulders and a feeble grin, every episode after will seem like an anti-climax compared to the behind the scenes antics. People will tune off in their droves – the superficial high gone. The realisation that the formulaic, predictable scenarios and dialogue just isn’t doing it any more.
You never go back and you can never look back, you can only go forward but hopefully, in an entirely new direction.
So, FOX starts flirting and CBS starts having regrets … some things never change. It’s high school all over again.
Hah! Brilliant.
Would be great to return to 2 1/2 ; however please confirm it will be with a babysitter 24/7.
Even a train wreck starts to rust eventually.
Hollywood is High School, the Studios are wanna-be-popular Girls, and Charlie Sheen is the bad boy every girl can’t help but want. And when Missy CBS broke up with Charlie, because her parents (Lawyers/Lorre) forced her too, Nancy FOX stepped in and has begun flirting with him. Now Missy wants Charlie back after seeing Nancy eyeing him, because that’s how it works. Charlie knows how to play women, why not studios too?
TMZ also reports: “Sheen entered, dressed as Luke Skywalker, loudly demanding a meeting with Obi Wan, Admiral Piett and Yoda.”
How many acts are selling out two nights at radio city?? Selling out huge thwarted in 18 min? Let the big dog eat!!
My client will soon be back on Two and a Half Men where he belongs. Les Moonves is desperate to have it back on the air and he’s too afraid to approve a new actor. Chaim Levine will be executive producer in name only he won’t have any input at all and a new showrunner will be announced. Look for Charlie to appear at the up fronts two months from now with Moonves sitting next to him. The only thing to work out is Charlie’s new deal.
BOOM! Goes the Dynamite!
I’m starting to smell something suspicious. If Charlie returns to 2 1/2 Men then I honestly think we’ve all just been punked.
In an age of shorter attention spans and consumers being able to fast forward thru commercials there is a need for a new form of marketing.
Traditional advertising just doesn’t work anymore. So now what appears to be real life drama is just a new way to grab people’s attention.
The ratings for the show were probably starting to slip a little and CBS freaked out. They all probably sat in a room and told Charile to go wild (not for real, but just give the appearance) and they would play along.
So the drama folds out before us but meanwhile everyone is in on the gag. Interest in the show rises again as the vast majority of the public wonder if Charlie will return.
Which he will … because that’s been the plan the whole time.
Suckers.
Shhh!
If not for the gaunt/crackhead look, rotten teeth sallow skin I’d say you’re on to something. If they were, I want to know who did his make up, because it really was f–ing great.
And BTW, I wouldn’t put it past someone to try it in the future. But in this case I think Carlito and Les weren’t thinking on that deep a level.
If that’s true they did a really good job; Joaquin Phoenix should take lessons from Sheen!
That about sums it up.
Hollywoodlife.com & several other news orgs are reporting CBS just offered CS his old job back.
They’re looking for a way to finish ‘Two and a Half Men’ on a high ! Not only Charlie that is ! So how about we find out Charlie’s unsuccessful relationships with women is because of lack of his mothers , Evelyn , involvement . He realizes he needs her love , and she sees the problem . They enter into a close personal relationship . Meanwhile , Alan sees Roses loneliness and needs her companionship , they marry and live happily ever-after . Jake becomes a television agent , who struggles with addiction (Berta has to care for him) , but continues to idolise his Uncle Charlie !
Lets break it down… k.. This is
negotiation has been since Day ONE!! Had Nothing to do with
Charlie Mental or Addicted. He wanted more
money they were greedy and wouldn’t deal.
They thought He’d never walk away let alone have the
attention of the WORLD. Game on!!
Scene One Act One (Charlie Returns!)
Charlie: Barking orders and getting waited on never seeing who it is.. (Sitting in the living
room) The back of a Random man
in the kitchen…(in walks Jon Cryer
n Son)
With tray in hand Random Dude
(Chuck Lorre not identified yet)
is walkin towards Charlie..
(Jon Cryer: “Hey Don’t I know him
He looks Familar??”
(trying to get a look at his face
the kid Yeah we’ve seen him before isn’t he the old Garbage man JOn Cryer: Nah…(but unsure)
Chuck leans in with the tray and
delivers Charlies drink
Charlie: “Don’t worry boys his
presence is Meaningless. He lost

to Pay up!!
They look oddly at charlie
thinking isn’t that what he’s

LMAO ha ha everybody wins.. Bahaha
C’mon that would be some Funney stuff..
In ur face eat crow Lorre… Ha ha
LMAO
talk radio would be perfect for charlie for he has proven to have the personality that fits either that or maybe fox can make charlie a commentator on fox news. add a sports annoucer
Charlie Sheen was the moneymaker after all. The greed/myopia will cost CBS an additional million per episode, and Chaim’ke will have to produce elsewhere.
You miss the obvious, much like the reason studios don’t allow projects they never greenlight to see the light of day at another studio and why they
Option sequels when none are planned, studio execs only care about protecting their cush jobs by avoiding getting egg on their face by Sr. Sheen leaving CBS and doing a show directly competing with 21/2 men and wiping it’s but, all CBS execs would quickly be fired. They’re scared like little girls. Go get em FOX. WINNING!!!
CS is awesome.
Charlie Sheen is a genius-bar none. Van Gogh cut his ear off out of madness and his work is considered among the most prolific of all time. The comparison pales you say? Consider the day and the primary medium of expression. Charlie Sheen is a genius; do his father and brother feign concern to add credibility or are they simply jealous? Remember, it’s ALWAYS about the Benjamins.
