Charlie sheen rant

charlie sheen rant: It rarely works out well when celebrities decide, on impulse, to telephone radio talk shows and explain themselves. There’s evidence of a cruel sense of mischief, for one thing. Later charlie sheen rant shared his grievances with the gossip site TMZ, with further name-calling.

History shows that in Hollywood employers do find remarkable reserves of toleration for troubled actors, as long as their films or shows are popular and making money. Think of John Belushi. With Sheen there’s an another intriguing angle. The quoted remarks reveal strains of furious self-justification mingled with bitter blaming and invective. I was shackled and oppressed by the cult of AA for 22 years… The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning. I finally extracted myself from [AA’s] troll hole and started living my life the way I want to live it. It’s vintage, outdated and stupid and it’s followed by stupid people. I hate them violently. Debate me on AA right now. Bull****. The thing is, plenty of people who try AA as a way of dealing with their addiction discover, quite understandably, that it doesn’t agree with them. There’s a loose movement dedicated to what’s called “rational recovery” – ie, without the Higher Power. And many respectable authorities, like Stanford Peele, dispute AA’s philosophy and beliefs very cogently. Disliking AA is a valid position.

What I’m thinking of, as a driver of bitter hatred of AA, is that rage produced when an addict tries to come to terms with Step One of AA’s 12 steps. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol – that our lives had become unmanageable. This is the step where the addict admits, to his deepest innermost self, that he cannot run his life any more. He’s lost control.

“Two and a Half Men” star charlie sheen rant has skirted disaster as a wayward, middle-aged party boy who regularly tested the patience of the TV network and studio trying to protect their valuable sitcom property.

It was a violence-tinged and anti-Semitic radio rant that helped push him over the edge and, finally, forced CBS and Warner Bros. Television to take action.

In a one-sentence joint statement Thursday, the companies said they were ending production on television’s No. 1 sitcom for the season, a decision based on the “totality of Charlie Sheen’s statements, conduct and condition.”

Whether Charlie Sheen’s rant went far enough to sink the series and, possibly, his career as one of TV’s highest-paid actors remained unclear.

Sheen’s rambling interview Thursday with host Alex Jones was reminiscent of Mel Gibson’s rant during a 2006 traffic stop – but Sheen knew his rant was public.

The production halt leaves CBS eight episodes shy of the 24 half-hours it had expected to air as the cornerstone of its Monday night comedy lineup. And it makes the network and Warner, which reaps hundreds of millions from the show in syndication, the potential go-betweens between Sheen and “Two and a Half Men” executive producer Chuck Lorre.

Charlie Sheen Rant Airs on 'The Early Show'

Charlie Sheen's rant on the Alex Jones radio show was aired, in part, on 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS). The now-infamous rant reportedly contributed to CBS' decision to shelve 'Two and a Half Men' for the remainder of the season.

In yesterday's radio interview, Sheen takes aim at the sitcom's co-creator, Chuck Lorre, referring to him by his Hebrew name and promising to "destroy" him in a rambling, but exceedingly colorful, way.

"I'm sorry, man. I've got magic and I've got poetry in my fingertips most of the time, and this includes naps, you know. I'm an F-18, bro, and I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordinance to the ground," said Sheen.

Sheen also claimed to have been "cured" of any addictions. "I have a disease? Bulls***. I cured it with my brain, with my mind. I'm cured. I'm done. The only thing I'm addicted to right now is winning," he said.

Whatever Sheen says, we can't help but wonder if this will lead to 'Two and a Half Men' being canceled. What do you think?

Two and a Half Men Cancelled – Not Yet, Here’s How They Can Save the Show!

Two and a Half Men hasn’t been cancelled.  Not yet.  While shooting has been shut down for the season following Charlie Sheen’s off air meltdown and rantings against the hit show, there is still some room to save the Monday night darling without him.

Here are our ideas of how Two and a Half Men can be saved….

Send Uncle Charlie to rehab.   If the show wants to explain the extended and probably permanent absence of Charlie Sheen’s character they can send him off to rehab.  Maybe that would inspire the actor to finally head to rehab himself.

Two and a Half Men Cancelled

Was “Two and a Half Men” cancelled? Not yet… but Two and a Half Men production has been shut down for the rest of the season. Ah, Charlie Sheen’s douchey ways have finally caught up with him.

CBS and Warner Bros. TV released the following statement: “Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen’s statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production of ‘Two and a Half Men’ for the remainder of the season.”

Charlie Sheen Assails 'Two And A Half Men' Creator Chuck Lorre With Insults & Curses

Yep, things between Two And A Half Men star Charlie Sheen and creator Chuck Lorre just got a lot worse. Following his verbal assault on Lorre, whom he calls by his "real name Chaim Levine", in a radio interview this morning, Sheen went way further in a TMZ interview this afternoon. "I violently hate Haim Levine," Sheen said in what is probably the harshest statement by a series star about their showrunner. "He's a stupid, stupid little man and a p**sy punk that I'd never want to be like. That's me being polite. That piece of s**t took money out of my pocket, my family's pocket, and, most importantly, my second family -- my crew's pocket... You can tell him one thing.  I own him." He proceeded to challenge Lorre to a fight. "If he wins, then he can leave MY show, Sheen said.

PREVIOUS: When we thought Charlie Sheen's planned reunion with the cast and crew of Two and a Half Men next week could not get more awkward, it just did. In another surreal, rambling live radio interview, this time on the Alex Jones Show, Sheen unleashed a tirade at Men creator-executive producer Chuck Lorre over Lorre's recent tongue-in-cheek vanity card at the conclusion of the show's most recent original that ended with "If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I'm gonna be really pissed."

"That's one of few compliments that clown has paid me in freaking almost a decade," Sheen said in the interview posted on TMZ. He referred to Lorre by his "real name, Chaim Levine." "Chaim, last time I checked, I spent close to the last decade effortlessly and magically converting your tin cans into pure gold." He also called Lorre a "charlatan," challenging him with "You've been warned dude, bring it."

In the bizarre interview, Sheen offered Jones' much stronger proof that he is "100% clean" that the host probably bargained for: "Here's your first pee test, next one goes in your mouth. No, you won't get high." Sheen also claimed he cured his drug problems with his mind.

But among ramblings about trolls, Bible grippers and Vatican assassins, one line stood out, a quote from Apocalypse Now: "You do have the right to kill me but do not have the right to judge me."

Lorre and Warner Bros. TV, which produces Men had no comment. For now, the show is scheduled to return to production next week for 4 more episodes. Both the show and Sheen have one more year on their deals.

Charlie Sheen Rant

"Two and a Half Men" was canceled for the season on Thursday, and here's why: Charlie Sheen went on an extended rant on the Alex Jones Radio Show on Thursday, touting his mental curing abilities, ninja training, magic fingertips and, most consequentially, ripping "Two and a Half Men" creator Chuck Lorre -- whom he later challenged to an ultimate fighting match. It's a doozy.

A few select bytes. First, on Lorre:

    "I'm tired of being told 'You can't talk about that, you can't talk about that.' Bull S-H-I-T. 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. 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. Clearly someone who believes he's above the law."

And on his newest addiction:

    "I have cleansed myself. I closed my eyes and in a nanosecond, I cured myself... It's the work of sissies. The only thing I'm addicted to is winning. This bootleg cult, arrogantly referred to as Alcoholics Anonymous, reports a 5 percent success rate. My success rate is 100 percent. Do the math ... another one of their mottoes is 'Don't be special, be one of us.' Newsflash: I am special, and I will never be one of you! I have a disease? Bulls**t! I cured it with my brain, with my mind. I cured it, I'm done ... you don't look like you're having a lot of fun. I'm gonna hang out with these two smoking hotties and fly privately around the world. It might be lonely up here but I sure like the view, Alex!"

Two and a Half Men Kid Star Compensated Nicely

Angus T. Jones, the kid star of Two and a Half Men” just signed a major contract with the show. He will now receive $300,000 every episode.

Jones plays Jake Harper, the nephew of Charlie Sheen on the show. In addition to the $300,000 he will be paid for the 26 episodes he is guaranteed to be in, he will get a signing bonus worth $500,000. This turns out to be a cool $7.8 million. Man, talk about a sweet deal!

Even though Jones is scheduled for 26 episodes, it appears that Two and Half Men will shoot at least 48 episodes, which would effectively double Jone’s payday.

If you think this is a lot of money, consider the fact that Charlie Sheen makes a whopping $2 million for episode. Over two seasons or 48 episodes, he will make $96 million dollars. Not bad at all!!
