Charlie Sheen’s Live Tour Sells Out

March 15, 2011 By 1 Comment

If Charlie Sheen is suffering a mental breakdown, it might be the most profitable breakdown in history. The recently-fired “Two and a Half Men” star is taking his “they fired me” schtick on the road, with a series of live comedy performances. Last week two dates were announced for a ‘Charlie Sheen Live: My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option‘ tour and tickets went on sale this past Saturday. Both shows, one in Chicago and the other in Detroit, sold out in 10 minutes, in what Ticketmaster calls ‘record-breaking!’ I guess this just proved that people aren’t sick of Sheen’s craziness because they are willing to spend their hard-earned money to see him live. Since ticket sales did so well, it looks like his tour is expanding to more cities. Rumor has it his tour will grow to 20-30 more cities including some European and Australian dates. So if you were disappointed that he wasn’t coming to your city, perhaps good news will be on the way later this week. A source says that Madison Square Garden is trying to book a date even though “that’s not the ideal venue size for Charlie,” but he’s open to it. As for what we can expect to see on his live tour:

Per 411 Mania:

A source says, “Charlie is first and foremost an actor. There will be a lot of scripted material, plus videos, interactive audience material, the whole range of things that play off Charlie’s strengths. There will be light and dark moments. People will not be disappointed.”

After hearing the news of his sold out show Sheen tweeted “Fastball; Detroit/Chicago sold out in minutes… Thanks to Sheen’s Cadre..! #WINNING”. Since he was fired by CBS, Sheen has filed a $100 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and Chuck Lorre, co-creator of the show. Trouble began after Sheen sought treatment for substance abuse, and the show was put on hiatus in late January. But after he started zinging Lorre in the media, CBS suspended him.

Judging from his behavior in recent weeks, I’m sure we can expect rambling monologues that trash his former co-stars, along with plenty of cigarette-smoking. I am seriously wondering what he is possibly going to do with his “WINNING” comedy tour. Whatever else, it will undoubtedly be a break from reality. Still I am curious, and I may actually have to buy tickets and go just for the pure entertainment factor of it.

Charlie Sheen Suing Warner Bros.; Shares ‘Winning’ Recipes in New Video

March 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Charlie Sheen is suing Warner Inc.’s WB Studio Enterprises unit and the producer of the ‘Two and a Half Men‘ for $100 million plus punitive damages over his firing from the show. Sheen accused Warner Bros. and Chuck Lorre, the show’s creator, of breach of contract and retaliation, among other claims, in a complaint filed today. He also sued on behalf of the entire cast and the crew of the show that was halted last month before all the episodes for the current television season had been finished.

Per TMZ:

In a scathing preamble, legal pit bull Marty Singer writes in the lawsuit, “Chuck Lorre, one of the richest men in television who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, believes himself to be so wealthy and powerful that he can unilaterally decide to take money away from the dedicated cast and crew of the popular television series, ‘Two and a Half Men,’ in order to serve his own ego and self-interest, and make the star of the Series the scapegoat for Lorre’s own conduct.”

“Torpedo away… You corporate Trolls were warned. And now you’ve been served! ” Sheen tweeted earlier today. Much of the basis of the suit seems to be that Sheen hasn’t been fired throughout all his past transgressions, so why fire him now? The lawsuit also lists several shots Lorre has taken at Sheen’s lifestyle, including the infamous vanity card that read, “If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I’m going to be pissed.” But interestingly, the suit states that Warner Bros. fired Charlie during a period of sickness, and that’s in violation of California State Law. If drinking ‘Tiger’s blood, sitting on my couch in my mansion and Twittering, and playing around with a webcam means you’re sick, then where do I sign up?

Sheen has been known for his highly publicized marital, legal and substance abuse problems as much as his acting. The show was put on hiatus after he entered a rehabilitation program in January, and production was halted after Sheen blasted Lorre and Alcoholics Anonymous in a radio interview. He has followed that up with a series of interviews in which he threatened to sue CBS for shutting down the show, demanded a raise from $2 million to $3 million per episode and insisted he was “clean, focused and ready to get back to work.”

Sheen sure is eating up all the media attention and being as crazy as possible nowadays. He did a cooking show for FunnyorDie.com – you know, since he’s been fired from ‘Two and a Half Men,’ he’s got all this extra time on his hands. This new video below is actually the first that I really enjoyed! Sheen filmed a mock cooking show called “Charlie Sheen’s Winning Recipes.” The sketch shows Sheen in his kitchen, sporting a tiger print chef’s hat and wearing an apron.

Per E! Online:

“Yes, I’m doing a cooking show,” he says. “Why? Because if you haven’t noticed I’m winning television right now. My plan is to be the first person to have made an appearance on every television network. Just like I was the first person to get one million Twitter followers in 24 hours. Like I was the first person to build my own rocketship to Cassiopeia using only my mind tools. Here I come, Food Network.”

My favorite line from it: “Face It, I am living the life of a rock star Vatican Assassin, and if you eat like me, you can be like me.” Gotta see this video. He definitely still has a sense of humor even after being fired and throwing out slurs and lawsuits… or maybe he just really is THAT CRAZY?!

Rob Lowe to Replace Charlie Sheen on ‘Two and a Half Men’ ?!?

March 8, 2011 By 2 Comments

The first candidate to replace Charlie Sheen on “Two And A Half Men” is apparently lined up and is also an old friend of the Sheen family. Rob Lowe’s agent has reportedly been talking with producer Chuck Lorre just hours after Warner Brothers fired Sheen from the hit show. But Lowe’s fans shouldn’t get too excited just yet.

Per TMZ:

There are two stumbling blocks for Rob — he currently stars in “Parks and Recreation,” and he grew up with the Sheen family.

Warners and CBS haven’t said if the show will come back without Sheen, but potential legal actions by Sheen’s team could make that hard. Yesterday, Sheen’s lawyers immediately said they would take legal action against ‘Two and a Half Men.’ Sheen allegedly has a “Michael J. Fox” clause in his contract, which allows him to get paid for men for every future episode, even if he is not on the show.

Per TMZ:

When Fox was doing “Spin City,” his contract provided that he would keep getting paid as long as the show was in production, even if he left the show. Ironically, when Charlie took over for Michael, Michael kept drawing his salary. Sources say when Charlie signed on for “Two and a Half Men” … the original contract provided an identical clause, so Charlie’s people believe Warner Bros. is on the hook if they keep producing the show.

Lowe isn’t the only name to be bouncing around as a possible replacement. John Stamos was rumored last week to be in talks to take over, but quickly denied those reports. Sheen didn’t take those rumors too well, saying that Stamos replacing him would be a “tragic joke” and that the creators of the show would “deserve their failures and follies.” Sheen later apologized for those remarks, calling Stamos a “talented man.”

Even if they don’t nab Lowe or Stamos, it looks like Lorre and company are still hard at work trying to find a friendly face to keep the show on the boob tube. Personally, I think they should just let it die. No one can bring Charlie’s brand of crazy to this role. No offense, John Cryer.

Charlie Sheen Fired: Plays with Machete, Drinks Tiger Blood – PHOTOS

March 8, 2011 By 1 Comment

Here is the nuttery of the day brought to you by The Sheen Machine.

Charlie Sheen was officially fired from ‘Two and a Half Men.’ (Click HERE for the first announcement…) Warner Brothers sent him and his legal team an 11 page letter explaining that he is “dangerously self destructive” and committed “a felony offense involving moral turpitude.”

Via TMZ:

“There is ample evidence supporting Warner Bros. reasonable good faith opinion that Mr. Sheen has committed felony offenses involving moral turpitude (including but not limited to furnishing of cocaine to others as part of the self-destructive lifestyle he has described publicly) that have ‘interfere[d] with his ability to fully and completely render all material services required’ under the agreement.”

No longer the highest paid tv actor, Charlie decided to take his Epic Gnarly Warlock of Winning self to the roof of Live Nation building in Beverly Hills. Sheen waved around a machete while drinking a bottle of fake “Tiger Blood.” A real energy Tiger Blood energy drink has actually been created. It was made in honor (read ‘in honor’ as ‘in mockery’) of Charlie’s Adonis DNA. It reportedly tastes like fruit punch and contains 80 mg of caffeine.

As for his reaction to being fired….Charlie merely chanted, “Free at last! Free at last!” He also stated that he would be suing WB and the show creator Chuck Lorre.

Charlie Sheen Officially FIRED From ‘Two and a Half Men’

March 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment

It’s official: Charlie Sheen’s winning is over. The actor is now FIRED from his role as Charlie Harper on ‘Two and a Half Men‘ due to his dangerously self-destructive conduct, derailing production when entering rehab, firing his sobriety coach, and committing “a felony offense involving moral turpitude” in addition to his recent hijinks, including trashing the Plaza Hotel in NYC, numerous coke binges, on-set failures because of drug fatigue, and diatribes against show creator Chuck Lorre.

Per TMZ:

Warner Bros. issued the following statement: “After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on ‘Two and a Half Men,’ effective immediately.”

Sheen, who has been in the news of late due to his erratic behavior and drug use, was reportedly sent a letter from Warner Bros. on earlier today informing him of his dismissal (Click HERE to read that letter). His firing comes as no surprise following a series of bizarre rambling interviews and attacks on the show and creators. Sheen’s recent antics caused Warner Bros. to suspend production on the show for the remainder of the season, sending Sheen into an angry media campaign against the show’s producers. The show’s spokesman says no decision has been made about the show’s production future, other than the fact that Sheen will not be a part of the series any longer.

Sheen’s laywer, Marty Singer, is demanding that Warner Bros. pay Sheen for the eight cancelled episodes this season, or else. Sheen, however, is seeing the silver-lining and has released his own statement to TMZ:

“This is very good news. They continue to be in breach, like so many whales. It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of their bazillions, never have to look at whatshiscock again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension.”

I must admit I found his antics mildly amusing for a while. Until, that is, his children were involved and eventually removed from his custody. Here is someone who had the world at his feet and he is throwing it all away. Now it’s time for him to get some help. It could be the biggest production of his life – America loves a good comeback story.
