Charlie Sheen’s Live Tour Sells Out

March 15, 2011 By Holly Stafford 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’s Partying Shutting Down ‘Two and Half Men’

January 31, 2011 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Charlie Sheen finally realized he has a problem with drugs and alcohol and checked himself into rehab on Friday. This was of course after he had a huge 36 hour house party that involved multiple porn stars, a briefcase full of coke, and a trip to the hospital. CBS and his hit show ‘Two and a Half Men‘ are completely supporting Charlie’s effort to get better. They have shut down production of the show until Charlie is out of rehab. This isn’t the first time production has been shut down because of Charlie entering rehab. Last February Charlie spent some time in rehab and the cast and crew ended up getting partial compensation. So how long will Charlie be in rehab this time?

Per NY Daily News:

The 45-year-old actor is set to be in treatment for the next three months — though his rep has not confirmed that timeframe — jeopardizing eight remaining episodes of the hit CBS show that have yet to be shot his season, TMZ.com reports.

If “Two and a Half Men” shuts down permanently, it could mean a loss of $250 million in revenue for the show’s production company, Warner Bros. Television, as well as millions in lost ad revenue for the network, according to The Hollywood Reporter. CBS made it clear in a statement released Sunday, however, that Sheen’s health was the network’s priority.

“Looking forward, the financial impact of the shutdown is not material to CBS,” the network said. “Any ratings declines will be more than offset by the reduced programming costs for episodes lost this season. We will begin to address the scheduling issues this week. The network is strong and deep with hit series; we’re not reliant on one show. In addition, ‘Two and a Half Men’ has always performed well in repeats, and we have the option of ordering additional episodes of other popular comedies on the network.”

The crew is reportedly not very happy with the hold up, worried that because of Charlie’s 3 month hiatus that they will not get paid. No word on what the studio plans to do this time with crew compensation, but official word is expected to be out soon. Clearly Charlie needs to be in rehab, but I understand the crew’s reasoning for being upset. Hopefully the studio takes care of them.

Charlie Sheen Returns To Rehab

January 28, 2011 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Well this is a long time coming. After all of the begging and pleading by people he works for, his father and his ex-wife (for the sake of their kids), Charlie Sheen has voluntarily checked himself into rehab stemming from his latest 36-hour porn star and cocaine filled bender which landed him in the hospital with a reported hiatal hernia.

Per E! Online:

His rep just released a statement that the embattled sitcom star “has voluntarily entered an undisclosed rehabilitation center today.

“He is most grateful to all who have expressed their concern,” the statement said. “Mr. Sheen asks that his privacy be respected at this time and that no additional information will be provided.”

I have to say – it’s about time! The hospital stay must’ve finally been a wake-up call. We wish him the best of luck on his road to recovery and hope he gets better soon. Kudos to him for getting help before it’s too late!

Charlie Sheen’s Jail Sentence: Rehab

August 3, 2010 By Crista Webster Leave a Comment

It looks like Charlie Sheen found what Lindsay Lohan was looking for a few weeks ago: the shortest jail sentence imaginable.

According to a plea deal Charlie reached in an LA court yesterday, he will serve a 30-day sentence at Promises rehab facility in Malibu, California.

“Sources connected with the case tell TMZ that Charlie will receive credit for ‘time served’ … translation, we’re told Charlie will check into Promises on August 23 and immediately leave.”

Sheen has already completed 36 hours of anger management classes after being arrested and brought up on domestic violence charges by his ex-wife, Brooke Mueller.
