Controversial TV star Charlie Sheen has been on the radio a lot lately, but his last outburst on a radio talk show went too far for CBS and Warner Brothers, which made the extraordinary move to halt production of its top-rated show for the rest of the season. On the Alex Jones show, Sheen ripped into "Two and a Half Men" show creator Chuck Lorre, calling him at one point a "turd" and an "un-evolved mind." He also had strong words for Alcoholics Anonymous, party girls, and even Thomas Jefferson.
Sheen says, "Are they happy with the $5 billion they already made off me or do they think they can turn it into $10 [billion] in a couple more seasons?" Charlie continued. "I'm just saying, you know [the show] is a runaway freakin' juggernaut. Do what you've gotta do -- I'll go make movies with superstars and not work with idiots." In halting production of "Two and a Half Men," CBS said "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."
Ironically, one of Sheen's comments also dared CBS & Warner brothers to pull the plug on the show, saying, "I was told if I went on the attack, they would cancel the show and all that, and so I'm just sort of seeing if they're telling the truth or not." Access Hollywood has the audio of Sheen's comments. Sheen attempted rehab and made news for allegedly involving himself with hookers and drugs. He also angered his co-stars and sitcom show crew when show tapings were first temporarily halted, affecting the schedules and lives of co-workers. Sheen earned an estimated $1.2 million per episode of "Men."
apparently this show is a big hit...
You have to be on drugs to have anything to do with Alex Jones.
The real star of the show is his TV brother, brother Allen (Jon Cryer) - I am amazed that he doesn't have a show of his own, followed by the maid, and the ex-wife of Allen. They can lose the fart belching kid. He's a distraction. They would have been better with a same-age Valley Girl daughter.
BTW. Has anybody ever noticed that the actress who played Chelsea in much of the later years was also a one-nighter on the very first episode?
The link on youtube with the interview with Alex Jones and Whoppi and Bra Bra Walters made my day complete. I laughed, and laughed. I bet those women on the set were spotting their menstrual pads and panty liners, he got the whole set ON FIRE...this link should go viral.
