Warner Brothers to Actors: YOU ARE REPLACEABLE

Warner Brothers officially fired Charlie Sheen a few days ago, but the network has been planning his termination for weeks. It’s hardly a surprise as Sheen appears to lost grip on reality and turned into a crazed Warlock of (Not)WINNING! with a superiority complex dipped in narcissism that rivals John Mayer, Kayne West and Mariah Carey all rolled into one. Click HERE to see the network’s “official reason for termination” is…

As Charlie was on a press tour of insanity, WB was quietly scouting out his replacement for the lead role on ‘Two and a Half Men.’ John Stamos was one of the early possible replacements. (Click HERE to see what Charlie had to say about that…) Since then Jerry O’Connell, Jason Bateman and Rob Lowe have all been considered for the lead role. Plans are to introduce the recast as new character that encompasses the same rogue-like womanizer qualities but is a respected professional in the biz. Execs are trying to iron out a deal as quickly as possible to capitalize on the press Charlie is creating and to send the message that he won’t be missed.

Warner Brothers is also using Sheen’s firing as message to other actors. Their power play is to remind all actors that they are replaceable. So the loss of the highest paid tv actor could be a benefit in the long run. As Charlie wields a machete and continues his publicized crazy rants it only helps WB not only prove their decision to fire him was justified, but they benefit from the growing awareness and interest in ‘Two and a Half Men.’

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

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

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 Interview – VIDEO

Nothing good ever happens when Charlie Sheen opens his mouth. When he isn’t getting drunk/high/locking hookers in closets he is ‘chivalrous’ soldier of Jesus. Executives became exhausted in dealing with whether or not Charlie was going to be in rehab/jail/hospital and axed the rest of ‘Two and a Half Men.’ This made The Sheen angry and he is planning on suing CBS and Chuck Lorre. He revealed his tender hurt feelings during an interview on Good Morning America.

Charlie on Being on the Best Drug EVAH: “I am on a drug. It’s called CHARLIE SHEEN! Um, it’s not available, because if you try it once you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body. Um. Too much.”

Charlie Not Being Afraid of a Drug Test: “Sure, you’ve got a cup? I’ve got nothing to hide.”

Charlie on His Mind’s Ability to Become Instantly Sober: “I’ve closed my eyes and made it so…with the power of my mind. I had to unload 22 years of fiction and just decided that I don’t need that anymore. I know my own truth. The fiction of AA. It’s a silly book written by a broken down fool who was a plagiarist. They think it’s one size fits all and it didn’t fit me. I got tired of it.”

Charlie on Why His Plasma Was Replaced With Booze and Coke: I did that because they work. They change the way you see things. Change the way you feel. And yeah, when you’re a little bit bored with redundancy of certain aspects of your life.. Yeah, I think that’s why people do them.”

Charlie on Being Six different kinds of Smart – “I got tiger blood, man. My brain….fires in a way that is — I don’t know, maybe not from this particular terrestrial realm. There’s certain blends I will not entertain because this [is] how people go down. I’m too smart to do that. I’m sorry for the guys that that happened to, but, you know, you should have read the directions before you showed up at the party.”

Charlie on How His Kids Will Find His Penchant for Beating Up Hotel Furniture’s and Chandeliers Educational: “God no. Talk about an education. I mean, this and then that’s the guy and he’s our dad and we can get all the answers and the truth. WOW. Wining! That’s how you perceive it. ”

Charlie on Suing Those Coke Fiend Haters: “Wouldn’t you? I don’t have a job. I’ve got a whole family to support and love. People a lot more important than me are relying on that money to fuel the magic.”

During the interview he barely blinks, speaks about 10,000 words a second while chain smoking and drinking “Juicy Juice.” All the signs of a truly sober and changed man…

(Que the hookers, porn stars and dealers giggling in the closet)

Charlie Sheen Rant Leads to Cancellation Of ‘Two and a Half Men’?!?

Although a weekend bender full of hookers, blow, and porn stars would be enough for some of us, apparently, it’s just another typical weekend for actor Charlie Sheen.

Despite reports that Sheen was completing a stint in rehab “at home,” the ‘Two and a Half Men’ star went on the radio airwaves twice over the last two weeks spouting gibberish concerning his lack of need for such a rehabilitation program.

We told you back in January that Sheen’s partying ways had shut down production of the hit TV show (read about that BY CLICKING HERE). However, the show continued production while Sheen completed in-house treatment.

Not so much anymore…

Sheen first started throwing around hurtful words about the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre. Even going so far as challenging Lorre to a fight.

According to TMZ, Sheen’s actions forced CBS to shut down production of the show for the remainder of the season.

This then led Sheen to release the following letter to TMZ regarding the stoppage of production:

“What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows … 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 — imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong.

Remember these are my people … not yours…we will continue on together…”

Charlie Sheen

Until Chuck is caught snorting coke laced with fairy dust from Lindsay Lohan’s naval, I don’t think he has much to worry about.

Charlie Sheen’s Partying Shutting Down ‘Two and Half Men’

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 Found Drunk and Naked by Cops – UPDATE

Charlie Sheen is a fan of hookers and booze. This tends to get him into trouble in between rehab stays and cars committing suicide. So here we have another Southern Comfort produced tale of drunken debauchery at the hands of a Sheen.

The highest paid actor on tv was kicking at the Plaza Hotel in New York and getting his humps on with a hooker who ended up robbing him. Around 2 a.m. cops were called after he discovered the whore took his wallet and proceeded to throw chairs, tables and damage a chandelier.

Page Six also mentions that Denise Richards was lurking in a room next door with their two daughters. She was in town to try and jump start an actual career with a new series, “Blue Mountain State.” When cops showed up the “Two and a Half Men” star was still drunk and naked. He was taken to the hospital with Denise galloping along.

What is disturbing about this the fact that Denise and Charlie are making nice and even enjoying dinners together. Nothing says great husband/father material than a man arrested for beating his wife on Christmas day. These two tricks are up to something.

Life and Style is reporting that more details and weaves a slightly different tale. Their version states that cops found Charlie passed out from a case of the drunks on his bed while the hooker was locked in a closet.

“She was fearing for her life and was naked,” says the source. “Charlie was incoherent but started screaming slurs at the cops. They recognized him immediately and gave him two options: they could take him to the hospital or take him down to the station. Charlie chose the hospital. The paramedics were heard calling it an overdose,” says an eyewitness. “But he was definitely awake before leaving the hotel as he made the choice to go there and not the jail.”

Locking tricks in a closet with your children asleep next door + beating your wife on Christmas morning = currently highest paid tv actor. His rep/manager has to be Harry Potter because only magic could make this shiz happen.

*UPDATE – Read ‘hooker’ as ‘porn star.’

Charlie Sheen Going to JAIL

Charlie Sheen will reportedly plead guilty for assaulting his wife when he appears in court next week and serve a 30-day jail sentence. Sheen is due in court on June 7 to begin immediately serving his sentence following his arrest on Christmas Day in Aspen, Colorado. He faced a series of serious charges after his wife Brooke Mueller claimed he had held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her (read about that here.) Both had been drinking at the time, and both later entered rehab for their problems. Despite Mueller’s plea to drop the assault charges, prosecutors pressed ahead with the case. By agreeing to a lesser offense, rather than the more serious charges of third-degree assault and felony menacing, he received a reduced sentence of just 30 days. Personally, I think this guy’s whole life is a felony. Sheen must also complete 36 hours of anger management sessions before appearing in court.

Per E! Online:

Sheen is unlikely to make waves while in Aspen lockup and his good behavior will bring his sentence down significantly, meaning he’d only serve about half the time.

I wouldn’t be banking on the “good behavior” part. Sheen hasn’t exhibited good behavior in years! But, hey, he probably can when it suits him, like getting sprung from the clink early. Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin confirmed deal had been reached but declined to disclose details, and a judge has yet to sign off on the deal. Once he’s out of the joint, he’ll be a free man – no probation. Sheen was given a choice of straight probation or jail time, but took the later because the probation option was considered “too risky.” Let’s face it, judging by Sheen’s track record, the chances of him being able to keep out of mischief while on probation are slim to none. We can’t expect him to act like a normal law-abiding citizen! He’ll also get out in just enough time to start filming “Two and a Half Men,” which he recently signed on for two more seasons, getting a huge raise with the contract. How convenient.

Jenna Jameson, Carson Daly and Charlie Sheen Have Babies – UDATED

Wow – was there something in the water?

Adult film star Jenna Jameson and her boyfriend of two years, Tito Ortiz, welcomed twin boys early Monday morning. Jenna’s spokesperson says that mother and both babies are in the pink of health.

Per Us Magazine:

“They’re in very good health,” says her rep. “She’s been taking it easy and even had to be in a wheelchair during one of Tito’s events in Las Vegas,” a source told Us when Jameson was just shy of eight months pregnant. “She’s very excited to be a mom.”

The twins are Jenna and Tito’s first children together. Ortiz has a son from a previous marriage. Jameson herself announced in May of last year that they were trying for a baby and that the good news could be just around the corner. In August of 2008 she excitedly confirmed her pregnancy saying, “I’m so happy!” No word yet on their bundle of joy’s names.

Late night talk show host Carson Daly also became a proud papa this weekend. Daly and his longtime girlfriend Siri Pinter welcomed a boy on Sunday night.

Per People:

“Parents are both ecstatic,” his rep Heather Lylis says. “They have a happy and healthy baby boy.”

Their new son, Jackson James Daly, weighed in at 7 lbs., 8 oz., and is the first child for the couple. They first announced their pending bundle of joy in November.

Two and a Half Men” star Charlie Sheen and his wife Brooke Mueller are the proud parents of twin boys born Saturday night. The boys, named Max and Bob, arrived a few weeks early but are said to be doing great. The boys are the first for the happy couple. Sheen has two daughters with his ex-wife Denise Richards and a 24-year old daughter from a previous marriage.

Congratulations to the happy couples!

UPDATE (From The Dame) -Jenna Jameson’s baby names have been released. Jesse Jameson Ortiz was born weighing 4 lbs, while brother Journey Jett Ortiz weighed 4 lbs, 11 oz.
