Charlie Sheen to Settle with Warner Brothers for Almost $100 Million – Wow!

Finally – some good news for troubled actor Charlie Sheen.

Sheen, who was fired from his hit sitcom “Two and a Half Men” by Warner Brothers and producer Chuck Lorre, had sued the network for breach of contract and a whole bunch of other things.

At first, lawyers thought Sheen would loose and the suit would be dropped.

But word tonight is that a settlement is near that will put nearly $100 million dollars in Sheen’s pocket.

Winning.

TMZ is reporting that Sheen will immediately get $25 million for work that was already completed before he was fired, and then another $75 million over the next ten years for the estimated syndication revenue of shows already in the can.

We also hear that Sheen was looking for much more, but really… who could not be happy with $100 Mil?

For his part, Sheen has lined up a new show “Anger Management” that will probably be aired in 2012.

Life is good for Uncle Charlie once again.

Video - Charlie Sheen Gets Burnt Bad at the Comedy Central Roast

Charlie Sheen was the guest of honor at his own Comedy Central Roast last night.

As far as roasts go it was one of the better ones, after all, who out there can say they wouldn’t want to see Sheen roasted?

Seth MacFarlane kicked things by making reference to the fact that “Two and a Half” men was premiering at the same time and was showing Uncle Charlie’s funeral and wondering out loud how Sheen had managed to stay alive for as long as he had.

Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen

Is it us or does Seth MacFarlane look gayer every time we see him?

Jon Lovitz kicked things off saying Charlie was nothing like the part he played in his show on “TMZ” – and that was his funniest joke.

The rest of his shtick was crude and rude and stale. Comedy Central – Leave Jon at home next time.

Kate Walsh was up next and seemed to be in shock that Sheen was still alive. She quipped that after years of abusing his heart, lungs, and body that the only thing he ever had removed was his kids. Ouch.

Next up was comedian Jeff Ross who toured with Charlie last year as part of his “Torpedo of Truth” tour.

Ross seemed to skewer everybody but Sheen and his jabs were tame compared to others. His funniest jab was, “If you are really winning then this must not be a child custody hearing”.

And then there was poor Mike Tyson. Mike is clearly not comfortable in front of a live audience and his set was pretty bad.

All Mike wanted to talk about was poetry and his secret garden.

Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen

Comedian Anthony Jeselnik had one of the best sets. It was well thought out and his delivery was great. It was rude and crude but was funny.

His best line was that Charlie only got on TV because God hates Michael J. Fox. He also said every moment of Sheen’s life looks like the first two minutes of Law and Order SVU.

Steve-O was next and started by telling about locking himself in the bathroom with Charlie and doing 5 grams of Cocaine.

Other than that, Steve-O is the creepiest guy in the World and has had his brain and testicles hit one too many times by heavy objects.

Comedian Amy Schumer was next. Man she sucks. I don’t think there was one funny joke there at all but you can be the judge.

Our hero William Shatner was next. If not for Capt. Kirk himself the show would have been a bore.

Shatner called Sheen a “Mexican” and bestowed his vast wisdom on Charlie while calling home Carlos and plugging Priceline.com.

Next was Patrice O'Neal who started off by calling Shatner an A--hole. He then spent his time railing on everybody but Charlie.

But what he said about the other comedians was pretty funny.

Finally the man of the hour stepped up to give his responses to his roasters.

He said until tonight he didn’t realize how f---ed up he really was and all this time he just thought he was having fun.

Two New Charlie Sheen “Roast” Promos Arrive and are NOT Normal!

The Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen is just around the corner and two more promos have been released.

The first one shows Charlie on a train, probably because that is how he is going to die on the new “Two and a Half Men” season opener, with his Goddesses, a tiger, and a few other strange characters who wonder if the train stops in “Normalville”.

Sheen gets a sneaky smirk on his face and says, “Honey, we left there a long time ago…”

The music in the background is from the Ozzy Osborne’s “Crazy Train”.

The second spot also shows Sheen on his “Crazy Train” and mocks Comedy Central for attempting to roast him saying that’s like trying to reason with a volcano, or duct tape the wind to the ground.

The Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen gets underway Monday September 19th.

Current roast attendees scheduled to skewer the troubled actor are TMZ's Harvey Levin, Jackass Star Steve-O, Anthony Jeselnik, Mike Tyson, and Jeffrey Ross.

The Roast Master will be none other than “Family Guy” and “American Dad” animator, writer, producer, actor, singer, voice actor and director Seth MacFarlane, who says,

"Charlie is a true icon with a talent that is strong and pure and concentrated into small crystals which can be smoked or eaten."

In an odd irony, Sheen’s roast will air the same night as Ashton Kutcher and company kick of the new Sheenless season of “Two and a Half Men”.

Bring it Warlocks!

Uncle Charlie Harper Dies a Tragic Death – Memorial Service Set For September 19, 2011

There is sad news for Charlie Harper – Charlie Sheen’s character on the CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men”.

As we reported last week, CBS and executive producer Chuck Lorre have been hard at work, and moving full steam ahead with the new show format for the upcoming season of “Two and a Half Men”.

And now we have more detail about the new seasons plot now that Sheen is out and Ashton Kutcher is in.

Related: Ashton Kutcher is in charge now - Photos

It appears that on opening night of the new season Uncle Charlie will already be dead – the victim of booze, wild women, and possibly a tragic plane crash.

The show will open with Angus T. Jones who plays Jake, Jon Cryer, and others attending a memorial service at the now infamous beach house in Malibu.

Attending will be all of Charlie’s girlfriends from seasons past as well as a few other notable characters from the shows high points.

We hear that the Malibu beach house will go up for sale during the first show and there will be a host of real life famous people stopping by to look at the property.

Naturally you can imagine who the realtor will be – Mrs. Evelyn Harper played by Holland Taylor of course.

We can also confirm that Kutcher’s new character will be named Raymond and will play an internet billionaire with a broken heart.

We also know that somehow Allan, Jake, and Berta all get to stay in the house after the sale. Not sure how that will be written in but we’re sure Chuck knows what he’s doing.

We also hear that the character of Rose played by Melanie Lynskey will have a role, as will Judith Harper and Dr. Herb Melnick played by Marin Hinkle and Ryan Stiles.

So get ready to see Chelsea, Mia, Mandi, and maybe even Ms. Delores Pasternak stop by to pay their final goodbyes to the lowlife Charlie Harper.

We even suspect with all this family tragedy they are going to need a really good shrink and expect to see Jane Lynch return in full form as Dr. Linda Freeman.

Can’t wait….

But it’s going to be a busy fourth quarter for Ashton Kutcher as he is starring in the romantic comedy “New Year’s Eve” that is scheduled to be released December 9th.

“New Year’s Eve” has almost every A-list Hollywood celebrity in it including Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, and Robert De Niro, and will follow the lives of several couples and singles in New York as they intertwine over the course of New Year's Eve.

Ashton Kutcher Appears in First “Two and a Half Men” Promotion – Photo

CBS and Warner Bros are gearing up the promotional machine for the new season of “Two and a Half Men”.

For the first time, Ashton Kutcher has appeared in an official advertisement for the show – plugging the season premiere on September 19, 2011.

Some plot rumors have swirled around where Charlie Sheen’s character of Uncle Charley Harper is killed in a plane crash – insiders say Executive Producer Chuck Lorre even commented “That way he can never ever return to the show – ever”.

We do know that Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones will appear with Kutcher to headline the new season and there is evidence that the housekeeper “Berta” and nutcase “Rose” will also appear in some capacity as regulars.

Troubled star Charlie Sheen was fired from the show last year making way for Kutcher to replace his character this season.

For his part, Sheen has just announced he will be starring in a new sitcom called “Anger Management”.

Fortunately, he has not found a writer, producer, or even a network to pick it up yet.

It has also been announced that Sheen will be the focus of the next Comedy Central Roast aired later this year.

Charlie Sheen Roast on Comedy Central – Are We Ready for That? Do We Care? - Video

It hasn’t even been a year since our favorite warlock Charlie Sheen melted our hearts by appearing on every media outlet known to man to vent his drugged up ego.

Now, Comedy Central has announced that Sheen will be the focus of their latest comedy roast due to air this Fall.

We’ve already seen the roasts of Donald Trump, Pamela Anderson, Hue Heffner, William Shatner, David Hasselhoff, and others – but is it too soon to roast Uncle Charley?

Related: Two and a Half Men Bloopers and Out Takes

Normally, Comedy Central selects people who seem to have reached the “D-List” status of their careers and carry tons of public baggage and a wee bit of public disdain.

But what can be said about Sheen that hasn’t already been said?

We have a pretty good idea of how it will go down, and an even better idea how it all came about.

Remember Charlie’s “Live Torpedo of Truth – Defeat is Not an Option” tours he hosted shortly after being fired from “Two and a Half Men”?

Well, good friend and senior roaster Jeffrey Ross was on the road with Sheen and the two developed a routine where Ross roasted Sheen during every show.

Some fans said that portion of his show is what saved it from being a total train wreck.

Watch Charlie Sheen Get Roasted by Jeffrey Ross


Since Ross is a big dog at the Comedy Central roasts, it was a perfect fit to have Charlie be the next inductee.

There is also a bit of irony that seems a little bit more than coincidence. The Comedy Central Roast is scheduled to air the SAME night as the new season premiere of “Two and a Half Men” with new co-star Ashton Kutcher.

Call it a jab at “Men” producer Chuck Lorre, or just good marketing, but all eyes will be on the ratings to see who wins the time-slot.

Sheen does however make a perfect roast participant, and we’re sure it will be one of the better shows depending who is on the stage with him.

We’re ready for it, so as Charlie himself would say – “Bring it Comedy Central”

Ashton Kutcher Teases with New “Two and a Half Men” Theme Song Clip

Some say that after Charlie Sheen there can be no more “Two and a Half Men”.

But the transition has already started....

CBS has already taken down the old logo poster on the outside of the studio and replaced it with a temporary poster without Sheen’s picture.

News has leaked about a possible plot transition being worked on by executive producer Chuck Lorre.

Related: Sheen photo gone, and new 2.5 plot update

And now, new face in the game Ashton Kutcher has taken to twitter to tease us with a taste of the new theme song for the show.

Kutcher said via twitter,

“2.5 rehearsal on #SoundCloud”

Kutcher uploaded a small audio clip to his Sound Cloud account with the now infamous “Men” theme song opening line.



It’s not much, but it’s another step closer to the new season and another step farther away from Charlie Sheen.

We can’t wait to see the final product and the first show of the new season. Bring it!

Charlie Sheen’s Picture Removed from CBS Studio Lot – New Season Plot Update

Poor Uncle Charley.

It’s seems that CBS called his bluff.

And today they made it official.

After announcing that Ashton Kutcher will be joining the cast starting next season, CBS and Warner Brothers made the first move in changing the shows external look. 

Maintenance workers removed the giant “Two and a Half Men” banner from the studios exterior and replaced it with a more generic banner.

We suspect as soon as CBS gets Ashton Kutcher cleaned up they will install a new banner showcasing the current cast including Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones.

And there is also a bit of news about the new seasons plot and how Sheen may be written out of the show.

TMZ says they talked with a production insider and the dirty deed may actually play off perfectly from the last show of last season.

This was the last episode Sheen filmed before going all tiger blood on us, where he had just purchased two tickets to Paris and was going to take Rose – and ask her to marry him.

Insiders say executive producer Chuck Lorre is planning to use the flight to Paris as the exit for Charley – and that it will NOT be a plane crash.

While subject to change, and it probably will, Uncle Charley just may decide to stay in Paris and say goodbye to Malibu.

There are still a few plot twists that need to be worked out like what happens to the beach house, and how does Rose get back to California while leaving Charley in France.

After all, the show will be better without Sheen but suck if Rose can’t still play in the sand box.

Charlie Sheen Puts His Beverly Hills Mansion on the Market for $7.2 Million

Troubled actor Charlie Sheen just put his house on the market.

Well, it’s really more of a Beverly Hills mansion than a house. And he’s only asking $7.2 million.

Sheen, who has finished his “Torpedo of Truth” live shows, gained possession of the house in his divorce with Brooke Mueller and now has the ability to sell it without her interference.

The almost 8,000 square foot mansion boasts a private movie theater to screen new porn movies, 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.

Parts of the house were seen in Sheen’s hilarious “Winning Cooking Recipes” video parody shot by FunnyOrDie during the height of his troubles with CBS over his role on “Two and a Half Men”.

Related: Charlie Sheen on FunnyorDie – Winning Cooking Recipes

No word on the exact reason Sheen wants to sell, but there has been some speculation that he is in need of cash. After all, he gave up almost $2 million per episode when was fired from “Men”.

It has also been reported that out of that $2 mill per episode Charlie was having almost $1 Million taken out each week to pay off a $10 million loan from CBS.

Now that CBS and Chuck Lorre have announced that Ashton Kutcher will replace Sheen on next seasons “Two and a Half Men”, it appears the only income for the actor would be proceeds of a $100 million dollar lawsuit Sheen has filed against his enemies at CBS and Warner Brothers.

Related: Kutcher and CBS News Release About “Men” Season 9

But that suit could take years (and millions) to work its way through the legal system and could backfire costing him a lot more money. Lawyers say the best he should hope for is some type of settlement.

So, if you have a spare $7 million lying around give Charlie a call and see if you can make a deal.

But beware - we suspect the entire place will need a nuclear cleaning before anyone will dare step inside.

Ashton Kutcher and Charlie Sheen Tweet Each Other After “Men” Announcement. Is There Love Here?

Charlie Sheen and Ashton Kutcher have bonded.

Well, maybe not in person – but on Twitter.

The two actors exchanged tweets yesterday after news broke that Kutcher was named as Sheen’s replacement on “Two and a Half Men”.

But things started out a bit rough when Sheen initially told TMZ,

"Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer ... Oh wait, so am I. Enjoy the show America. Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB. Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there".

If this was any indication of how Sheen planned to react publically, things could have gotten messy fast. But by Friday evening, things seemed to be turning into a love fest when Sheen tweeted,

“#Winning Congrats to the cast and crew…CBS & WB..! My best to @aplusk - The show must go on… You got the right guy! c.”

Kutcher was quick to follow with his own show of love and support with,

"#2.5 @charliesheen - Thanks man. Always been a fan, always will be! BTW you were 'born big'"

Just think - if Twitter can be used to bring these two soles together imagine what it could do for world peace. Ah Twitter, you offer us so many possibilities.

Jon Cryer Comments on Ashton Kutcher Joining “Two and a Half Men” – He’s Thrilled!

After being silent for the last three months, “Two and a Half Men” veteran Jon Cryer is finally talking about the recent changes on the show.

Cryer, who plays Alan Harper, released a press statement saying that he is thrilled that “Men” will be returning and commented,

“I’m jazzed about the news this morning that ‘Two and a Half Men’ is coming back! For all the rest of the cast and crew I’m sure they are equally excited”.

He even thanked his one-time cast mate Charlie Sheen saying,

“I want to express my enormous gratitude to Charlie Sheen for eight great seasons. I’m extremely proud of the work we’ve done together and I will miss him. But I’m also looking forward to this new beginning.”

He went on to say the he and Kutcher go way back together and even added a little levity with,

“Ashton is an extraordinarily talented guy and his presence will be an asset to our show. We are old friends from our male-modeling days and we’re both looking forward to being judged for our comedic artistry, as opposed to our exceptional physical beauty”.

CBS and Warner Bro’s announced today that after three months of discussion and reinvention they had hired Ashton Kutcher to replace the fired Charlie Sheen.

Sheen was fired in January for repeated alcohol and drug abuse issues. He is currently suing CBS and Warner Bro’s for $100 million.

Kutcher will NOT be playing the part of Charlie Harper but rather introduced as a new cast member to the existing family. He will pull in almost $900,000 per episode compared to Sheen’s $1.8 million.

Kutcher, Jon Cryer, and Angus T. Jones will form the backbone of the cast while recurring characters like Berta, Rose, Judith Harper, Evelyn Harper and Herb Melnick will round out the cast.

No word yet on exactly how executive producer Chuck Lorre plans to write out Sheen’s character and bring in Kutcher’s, in fact we don’t even now the new characters name or his relationship to the family.

But if we know Chuck Lorre we suspect season 9 could be one of the funniest yet.

Go Chuck!

Ashton Kutcher and CBS Official News Release About Two and a Half Men Season 9

Warner Bro’s, CBS, and Chuck Lorre are probably glad this is all behind them.

They’re probably even happier that Charlie Sheen is out of the picture.

Ashton Kutcher has agreed to a deal to replace troubled, and not winning, Charlie Sheen in the hit CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men” working alongside Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones.

Kutcher is slated to pull in almost $900,000 per episode through season 9. Production will begin this summer and new episodes will be aired in the fall.

Kutcher says,

“I can’t wait to work with this ridiculously talented 2.5 team and I believe we can fill the stage with laughter that will echo into the viewer’s home. I can’t replace Charlie Sheen but I’m going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people”.

For his part, Sheen has already thrown in his thoughts telling TMZ,

"Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer ... Oh wait, so am I. Enjoy the show America. Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB. Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there".

Wow. Sheen sure seems to have a bitter chip on his shoulder regarding all the problems HE has caused all involved. It seems he has fallen out of the spotlight and is no longer winning – but loosing.

Chuck Lorre also chimed in with,

“We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Ashton Kutcher joining our family. Added to that is a deep sigh of relief knowing that our family stays together. If I was any happier, it’d be illegal”.

Lorre is the creator and Executive Producer of the show and was tasked with developing the plot to get Charlie out and a new face in.

Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment added,

"Ashton is a pop culture triple threat-film star, cutting-edge producer and a social media pioneer. He brings creativity, energy and personality to everything he touches. We are thrilled to have him, and excited beyond words for what he brings to the next season of Two and a half Men".

The last party in the triangle is Warner Brothers, whose President said,

"Ashton Kutcher brings a new and distinctive comedic flavor to “Two and a Half Men”. He is a big-time talent whose unique style will blend seamlessly with Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones and the rest of this terrific ensemble. We look forward to a great future for this revamped and reenergized show, helmed as always by the extraordinary Chuck Lorre, whose creative skills and consummate professionalism makes him the best in the business."

So there it is. The deal is done and all parties involved have stepped up to say their piece. The only thing left is to see how they update the story to sneak Kutcher into the plot in a believable way.

I really think if all involved can pull this off that season 9 may make us ask, “Why did they put up with Sheen for so long?”

Now if they can just get past Sheen’s $100 million lawsuit things will have come full circle.

Will you watch season 9? Was Kutcher a good choice? Are you over Charlie Sheen’s antics yet?

Ashton Kutcher Replacing Charlie Sheen on Revamped “Two and a Half Men” - $900k Per Episode

It’s official.

Multiple sources are reporting that Ashton Kutcher will replace Charlie Sheen on “Two and a Half Men”.

News broke early yesterday that Hugh Grant was also negotiating a deal but things fell apart at the last minute.

CBS, Warner Brothers, and Chuck Lorre have been franticly trying to revamp the popular sitcom before this months “upfronts” where they will have to announce their final strategy and plans.

Reports say that Kutcher will pull in about $900,000 per episode. CBS executive Les Moonves has already signed off on the deal and soon will announce that “Two and a Half Men” is coming back for Season 9.

We also know that Ashton will NOT be playing the role of Uncle Charley Harper, but rather a NEW character introduced into the show.

Charlie Sheen was fired in January for repeated drug, alcohol, and moral issues.

Related: Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones to Headline New “Men”

After news broke that Kutcher was the man he tweeted,

"What's the square root of 6.25?"

If you do the math the answer is, in fact, 2 1/2. Get it?

Insiders say creator Chuck Lorre has developed a clever story line to introduce Kutcher in a way that satisfies the network and studio.

Kutcher, who got his start on the popular “That ‘70s Show” with Topher Grace, has also stared on the big screen in My Boss's Daughter, Dude, Where’s My Car, The Butterfly Effect , What Happens in Vegas, No Strings Attached, and Valentine's Day.

Kutcher also executive produced and starred in the hit MTV hidden-camera series Punk’d.

Kutcher just wrapped filming New Year's Eve, a comedy directed by Gary Marshall that tells the story of the lives of several couples and singles in New York that intertwine over the course of New Year's Eve.

It’s going to be weird seeing Kutcher walking around on the set of “Two and a Half Men” but we’re willing to give him a chance. I’m already way past Charlie Sheen at this point.

John Cryer and Angus T. Jones to Star in New ‘Two and a Half Men’ without Charlie Sheen – Confirmed

It has been a brutal two months for Chuck Lorre.

Charlie Sheen was fired from his show “Two and a Half Men”, the remaining season was cancelled, and the future of the sitcom was unknown.

While there has been some speculation and many great ideas floated about, we didn’t really know anything solid – until now.

The Inquisitr is reporting that Chuck Lorre has confirmed to them that the remaining parts of the eighth season, and any new shows from that point on, will now focus on Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones character while a possible new character may be introduced.

It’s official – “Two and A Half Men” is BACK!

This was what we were hoping for all along. We knew there had to be a way to keep the show going, and Cryer and Jones are the perfect match to bridge any transition in plot.

One insider said,

“They already have the set, a group of actors with contracts, an audience, and a place to start a new plot. They would have been fools to not try and keep it going – even if it was for just one season to see how it goes. They could have a bigger hit on their hands now than they did with the old show and Sheen. Charlie thinks he’s indispensable – but he’s not.”

The deal most certainly looked attractive to both Cryer and Jones. Sheen was pulling in $1.8 million per episode, Cryer was earning $550k, and Angus (Jake) was making $350k per show.

With Sheen’s salary expense out of the way, producers can afford to spread that love around a little more to the remaining cast and crew – everybody wins.

Except Uncle Charlie.

While it is not clear what impact Sheen’s $100 million lawsuit against Chuck Lorre, CBS and Warner Brothers will have on the shows finances, some smart legal people tell us that Charlie will probably not prevail.

So let’s bring the show back with Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones as the new leads, and weave in larger roles for Herb Melnick (Ryan Stiles), Berta (Conchata Ferrell), Rose (Melanie Lynskey), and of course mother Evelyn (Holland Taylor).

That’s all we ever wanted. We don’t need Charlie Sheen anymore.

Go Chuck Lorre!

Donald Trump Drops F-Bomb Several Times during Vegas Speech – Video

The grand douche-bag himself, Donald Trump, is once again running his mouth in a public forum.

Trump visited his Trump International Hotel & Tower just off the Las Vegas Strip today to rally supporters for his 2012 presidential campaign.

But this was a different Trump than we have seen the last several weeks.

The difference? He dropped the “F” word, and other choice curse words, every chance he got.

During his half hour speech on foreign affairs, Trump attacked not only Obama, but spewed insults toward other leaders saying,

"Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people, It's just very, very sad."

There were about 1,000 supporters at the event, and there was free food and an open bar. Everybody was loaded and they had come to see Trump do the thing that he does so well – be a dick.

Watch Donald Trump Use the F word in Las Vegas Speech


You have to ask yourself if this guy really thinks he’s for real. At this point, he is starting to sound more and more like Charlie Sheen every day.

‘Two and a Half Men’ has 50/50 Chance of Returning Says CBS - Decision Soon.

CBS Network brass is still contemplating what to do with “Two and a Half Men”.

With television sweeps starting next month (May), and up-fronts looming, CBS has to make a decision on what to do with season 9 of the once golden sitcom – and fast.

Ever since Charlie Sheen was fired from the show there has been speculation it might return for another season – with or without Uncle Charlie Harper.

Since his firing, Sheen has been on the road with his “Violent Torpedo of Truth” tour and has been telling his audiences that he desperately wants back on the show.

Not so fast says the show’s production staff.

One insider says that there is a 50/50 chance the show will return for another season. And if it does return – there will be changes.

Here is what we know for sure:

- Charlie Sheen is not welcome back on the show.
- Executive producer Chuck Lorre has a plot workaround to either replace Sheen or write him out of the series.
- No official offers have been made to any new actors.
- A decision has to be made before May 18, 2011.
- CBS really does want to try and salvage the show

Chuck Lorre has been telling the media that he has several ideas on how to continue the show – one that increases Jon Cryer’s role, and another puts Ryan Stile’s “Herb Melnick” character in a lead role.

We have also heard a couple unofficial “plot” ideas, sans Charlie Sheen, that all include using the existing actors, sets, writers, and facilities. Seems like a smart idea to us.

Our favorite has Rose downsizing and buying Charlie’s house after he gets thrown in jail in Bangkok. She then allows recently thrown to the curb Herb Melnick to move in with her, Allen, and Jake. Even Berta likes the idea and agrees to stay on.

One insider told reporters,

“The idea would be Rose buys the house and lets Alan, Herb, and Jake live there. We call it ‘Two and a Half Men – and Rose’. There have been lots of variations but it always comes back to the same fundamental movement of actors and their roles. It would be easy – and funny.”

It does sound like a nice clean, and believable, transition that could actually propel the sitcom into a whole new direction – both retaining the old fans and creating new ones.

We say bring us “Two and a Half Men & Rose”

Charlie Sheen Dumped by Goddess Bree Olson – By Text Message!

More bad news for Charlie Sheen.

It looks like he is down to ONE goddess for the remainder of his “Violent Torpedo of Truth” tour.

Last night at the BankAtlantic Center in Ft. Lauderdale Florida, Charlie took the stage with only ONE Goddess!

When an audience member asked him how things were going he told them, “Not well, because one left.”

He later told fans that porn star Bree Olson had left and that she had broken up with him via a text message.

Olson, 23, and Natalie Kenly, 24, had been making appearances together on stage during Sheen's live shows, often making out and kissing on stage.

Olson also had to miss several shows as she dealt with a DUI charge in Indiana, and is the dubious winner of “Best Anal Sex Scene” bestowed upon her at the Adult Video Awards in 2008.

Bree was also present with Charlie during his great four day binge last year that sent Sheen to the Hospital after Olson told reporters a briefcase full of cocaine had been delivered to the party house.

Sheen was also joined on stage by fellow D-lister and drug addict Dennis Rodman. No word if he showed up wearing a dress.

It also looks like Sheen’s ticket sales have not been going too well as he has resorted to taking to his Twitter account and giving away tons of tickets for free.

Fans said that about one third of the seats at his Tampa and Ft. Lauderdale shows went unfilled.

Sheen’s next live show is Tuesday at the Verizon Wireless Theater in Houston Texas. My guess is that Texas isn’t going to like Charlie any better than Florida did.

We’ve heard about those people in Texas.

Will Ferrell is turning into Charlie Sheen - Video

Will Ferrell interrupted Conan O’Brien’s show again last night with more threats of cutting off O’Brien’s beard.

Ferrell dug deep into his comedy grab bag to channel a character that sounded a lot like, well, Charlie Sheen.

If Ferrell refined the character just a bit he would be a shoe in to play Sheen in the upcoming “Where are they now?” documentary.

O’Brien and Ferrell have been embraced in a major feud leading up to Will’s appearance on the show May 2nd.

Charlie Sheen Police Escort in Washington D.C. Under Investigation

Tuesday was a busy day for Charlie Sheen.

He started in L.A. in a court room fighting for custody of his children, and by nightfall he was racing to Washington D.C. on a private jet to do a show.

Sheen landed in D.C. almost an hour late and somehow was able to convince the D.C. police to give him a full escort to DAR Constitution Hall.

Sheen tweeted a picture of the speedometer at 80 MPH and lights flashing and said,

"In car with Police escort in front and rear! Driving like someone's about to deliver a baby! Cop car lights."

Now an internal investigation is underway by the Washington D.C. Police Department and they want to know how this all happened saying,

“Citizens of the District don’t want to see their police force used to escort private citizens and that Charlie Sheen, of all people, is getting a personal escort. This entire matter is under investigation.”

Please keep it simple guys. Just send Sheen a bill and I’m sure he’ll pay it.

Problem solved.
