Oh, Charlie!

Charlie Sheen unleashes furious radio rant which could cost his career

HIS wild antics are well known but now it seems Charlie Sheen’s words will prove his downfall after fed-up bosses cancelled his US TV series.
The troubled Two and a Half Men star called the show’s creator “a p***y punk”, labelled kiss-and-tell ex-lovers “zeros” – and even branded former US President Thomas Jefferson a p***y in an amazing 20-minute radio rant.
Sheen, in the Bahamas with porn star Bree Olson and model Natalie Kenly, raged against the smash hit comedy’s creator Chuck Lorre.
The Hollywood hellraiser told a US radio show: “He’s a stupid, stupid little man and a p***y punk that I’d never want to be like. That’s me being polite.”
With a rasping voice, the 45-year-old, who insisted he had kicked his drug and alcohol addictions, slammed his critics raging: “I’m not perfect, but look what I’m dealing with – fools and trolls.
“I don’t have time for these clowns and their judgment and stupidity. I’m gonna stay here with these two smokin’ hotties and fly privately around the world. You know it might be lonely up here but I sure like the view.”
After hearing the rant, outraged Lorre cancelled Two and a Half Men, which earns Sheen £1.25million an episode.
Furious Sheen responded with an open letter, raging: “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.”
In his radio rant, Sheen claimed his methods of beating his addictions were more effective than Alcoholics Anonymous. He jibed: “AA has a 5% success rate, my success rate is 100%. Their entire manifesto is built on complete and total surrender, they say ‘don’t be special be one of us’. Newsflash, I am special.”

I have to say, if they fully cancel Two and a Half Men, nothing of value will be lost. It was kind of amusing early on, but now it's just unpleasant, unfunny, and kind of depressing.

It's been on eight years. It had a good run.

Two & A Half Men was very funny early on, but I'm glad it's getting cancelled. It's becoming stupid and just a whole bunch of hedged over sex jokes.

It's become increasingly clear that the titular "half man" is not the kid.

You gotta admire Sheen's capacity for self-delusion. He talks his way out of a hit TV series and a pile of income and then dares claim, “Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words.”

Hey, maybe he's more of a comedian than I thought!

If the show is cancelled he gets to spend more time with the porn stars, who apparently interest him more than his kids.

I always wanted to be Charlie Sheen, but. I guess I'll always just be Bud Fox...

Who can blame him?

The ratings were down for the Academy Awards this year. Want to boost the ratings to extreme levels? Make Sheen the host next year.

What could possibly go wrong?

Shame to see the show canceled. It is one of the few current-running shows I watched regularly. They show is hysterical. I'm hoping it comes back for season 9. But it's looking very unlikely now.

It's a shame he had to be like this. It's not just him it's effecting. With the show canceling there are a lot of people that are now out of jobs. He's effecting everyone with his behavior.

I say him and Lohan need to hook up.

Make Lohan a regular on Two and a Half Men. She needs a job.

My redneck brother-in-law loves Two and a Half Men. I'm not sure if I'm contributing to the thread but I am telling the truth. Personally, I couldn't watch more than a minute of it without changing the channel, but heck, I did the same thing with Seinfeld.

Once she gets out of jail write her in as Charlie's new girlfriend.

What could go wrong with Lohan and Sheen partying during the show?

I thought it was funny, but I got tired of it. Charlie (his character is Charlie also) is a pretty disgusting character, a selfish, shallow womanizer. Usually over the years unlikeable sitcom characters soften. Archie Bunker was practically a McGovern liberal by the time the show went off the air. But Charlie is an even bigger jerk than when the show started.

Mostly agree with Will. I guess it was usually a bit better than most other sitcoms, but that isn't saying much. It's pretty one-note, and I can see how someone might like it as one of those shows you can just turn your brain off and enjoy, but there's too much great TV out there to waste much of it on this.

All that said, I dig Jon Cryer, was happy to see him find this level of success, and I hope he lands on his feet.

Never watched a single episode and I never will. Guy's gonna end up dead and then I'm sure there will be folks that will talk about how tragic it all is.

Apparently Russell Brand is favourite to host next year. Not that he will, of course.

I like Russel Brand, A lot. I know many don't, but it wouldn't bother me any if he hosted next year.

Im not a big fan of two and half man but all i have to say is Charlie must be heartbroken he is not gonna get a 1.2 million dollar pay check anymore.Hopefully he slowsdown on the hookers or maybe go with the cheaper ones.

Quite apt commercial, I think....
