I say good for them.

CBS and Warner Bros. Television say they are ending production on this season of "Two and a Half Men" in the wake of incendiary remarks by star Charlie Sheen.
In a statement Thursday, the network and studio said they were basing their decision on the "totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition."
Earlier Thursday, the studio and Sheen's publicist had said the show would resume production next week after a hiatus intended to allow Sheen to seek rehabilitation.
But in a rambling, often vitriolic radio interview, Sheen blasted "Two and a Half Men" producer Chuck Lorre, along with other targets including Alcoholics Anonymous.

Charlie Sheen Statements:

Charlie Sheen says he's ready to return to work, but is Two and a Half Men ready for him?

The sitcom star let loose on the Alex Jones Show radio program Thursday and took aim at some of the people in his life, including Men executive producer Chuck Lorre, who had run a vanity card on screen after the Feb. 14 episode in which he said he'd be angry if Sheen outlives him.

"I didn't care about that vanity card," Sheen said. "I went straight home and dispelled that, that was actually one of the few compliments that clown has paid me in frickin' almost a decade. I embarrassed him in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace that this un-evolved mind cannot process. I've spent, I think, close to the last decade, I don't know, effortlessly and magically converting your tin can into pure gold. And the gratitude I get is this charlatan chose not to do his job, which is to write."

Sheen's rant ranged from insulting the women he parties with to mocking alcoholism. Here is the breakdown:

About the women: "If I bring up these turds, these... losers, there's no reason to then bring them back into the fold because I have real fame, they have nothing. They have zero. They have that night. And I will forget about them as the last image of them exits my beautiful home. And they will get out there and they will sell me and they will lose. Bring me a frickin' challenge. It just ain't there."

About Alcoholics Anonymous: "I have a disease? Bulls---. I cured it... with my mind. it's all good guys... I can't use the word sober because that's a term from those people, and I have cleansed myself. I have closed my eyes and in a nanosecond I cured myself from this ridiculous... It's just the work of sissies. The only thing I'm addicted to right now is winning. You know? This bootleg cult arrogantly referred to as AA now supports a 5 percent success rate. My success rate is 100 percent. Do the math! ... One of their stupid mottos is 'Don't be special, be one of us.' Newsflash: I am special and I will never be one of you. 'Oh, we have to all sit in here and touch ourselves and frown.' Well, you don't look like you're having a lot of fun. I'm going to hang out with these two smokin' hotties and fly privately around the world. It might be lonely up here but I sure like the view."

About his public image: "I'm so tired of pretending like my life isn't perfect and *****in' and just winning every second. I'm not perfect, and *****ing and just delivering the goods at every f---ing turn. Because look what I'm dealing with, man — I'm dealing with fools and trolls. I'm dealing with soft targets."

A rep for Sheen says the actor is due back on the set of Men on Tuesday. Taping is scheduled to resume three days later.
 
I actually just started watching it in the last 6 months on DVD. I like it, but the more I watch the more it seems like every episode is essentially the same. And, at times, I felt that they crossed the line for what should be on network TV. If it was on cable, I think it would be fine.

On another note, Charlie Sheen recently threw a weekend party for many ex and current baseball players at his home. Why? To get ideas for Major League 2.
 
He's a moron and I can't stand him. No humility whatsoever. I never watched Two and Half Men b/c I really just can't stand him LoL.

Calling the women he slept with turds? Yeah...thats so big of you. I mean yeah its a vicious cycle, they are both using each other. But whatever, I guess that is something that is known going into that kind of situation, IDK? :confused3

He won't say he's sober? I am sorry, I just don't get it. If you were an alcoholic and are no longer one, then yes you say you are sober. I have a friend who has been sober for 5 years now. He is so thankful for it and I am proud that he turned his life around to what it is today. He is studying to be a substance abuse type of counselor and does speeches at local HS and colleges about his past addiction. He wants nothing more than to help people turn their lives around and enjoy life to the fullest, like he is now.
 

Wonder if he headed to the tropics before or after that news came out ;)

Think of all the partying he can do now without work getting in the way :laughing:

Insiders tell Radar Online that the actor is going away with a group that includes Brooke Mueller, Bree Olson and a woman named Natalie Kenly, possibly the mystery woman he was spotted kissing earlier this week.

This shocking/hilarious news breaks just hours after we learned Mueller was moving back in with the man who once threatened to kill her.

"Charlie is back to his old self - and that's not a good thing," a source says. "[He] talked about building a porn family and now he's got these three women all living with him and taking off on vacation with him."

Backing up this story, Olson Tweeted last night: Going to a tropical wonder for a little while to relax with friends :) minimal tweets so hold tight! Be home soon babies!
 
I love the show. Especially Alan and Jake. I have all the seasons on DVD, that along with syndication will get me through.
 
I don't watch the show, but it's too bad that other people are likely to lose their jobs thanks to the fantastic Mr. Sheen. :sad2:
 
Is anyone else seeing what I'm seeing in Imzadi's post :scared1:
 
WHAT THE HECK IMZADI?????????

I can't even alert the mods. The link to report her post is busted (but only on HER post)
 
I thought it was just me that could not report it. It took me a mintue to realize what that was.
