"While its war with Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen is raging, Warner Bros. TV just made peace with the show's crew. Sources confirm that the studio has agreed to pay the about 200 core crew members their full salaries for the four episodes of Men that were scheduled to begin production today. According to TMZ, which broke the news of the payoff, the checks for the crew amount to about $2 million in total. Additionally, the timing of the work stoppage on Men is fortuitous for the crew as it's pilot season and they could get work on one of the 80+ pilots - broadcast and cable - that will be produced in the next 2 months.

Before production on those 4 episodes was canceled on Thursday after a serious of public verbal assaults on Two a Half Men co-creator Chuck Lorre by Sheen, Sheen had offered to cover one-third of the crew salaries for the 4 episodes that were lost because of the show's forced hiatus while the actor was allegedly undergoing treatment. That is if CBS and Warner Bros. would cover the rest. Those episodes are probably a lost cause now. (Two and a Half Men ended up producing 16 episodes this season, 8 short of its 24-episode order.)

As for Lorre, he is said to have been instrumental in securing pay for the Men crew members. He has history with a number of them and also employs them on his other CBS/WBTV shows, The Big Bang Theory and Mike & Molly."

Mr. Spock would ask where is the logic in Chuck Lorre, CBS and Warner Bros. driving away the feature attraction in a huge moneymaking tv show?
There isn't any.

Logic dictates that Charlie must have been the problem.

The Pakled in the house is going to tell you that WB is doing this to save face and that they can afford it since it's a drop in the bucket compared to what Sheen rakes in for them.
 
Sheen has actually passed two drug tests one by Radar Online and another by 20/20, but all this proves is that he was smart enough to keep it to coke and booze and it's been a week since he did some coke. The studio might have a problem, because as I understand it, he never let his drug use get in the way of his job. Charlie is epitome of the functional abuser.

I see in Charlie Sheen a man who has fucked up the easiest and greatest job on the planet and is too dumb to even realize it.

People love to gawk at trainwrecks and idoitic characters, watching someone that fails at normal life makes people feel better about themselves. And Charlie landed the job of portraying the bigest disfunctional trainwreck in primetime comedy TV, and for him it was barely acting as he had a history of displaying some of the dysfunctional behavior of his character in his personal life.

Along the way apparently the lines between Charlie Harper and Charlie Sheen became blurred to the point of disappearing altogether. He mistakenly took the popularity of the show as justification and idolization of the lifestyle. He no doubt thinks there are millions of Icebergslim's out there that think he has done nothing wrong and is a powerful warlock 🙂 .

Not long now for Sheenism.

Only the leaders career must die they don't actually have to die in person, then they are eligible for religious status, ala Chuck Norris or Mister T


And IMHO a cocaine and burbon fueled Sheen would rip Chucks arm off and beat Mr. T to death with it😀
 
Next year, I want a one-a-day calendar with a Sheenism quote. :thumbsup:

At the rate he's going, it shouldn't be too long until he reaches 365.

I do hope Tom Cruise and John Travolta come to his aid and convince him to join Scientology. i'm sure the Church is licking their chops to get this trainwreck into the fold....😀

Why does everyone want to use his wealth as a defense for his actions?
His net worth has nothing to do with the fact his behavior just lost him a job at which he was earning $36mil a year. How long do think $85mil will last him?
He's probably snorted that much coke off hookers asses in the last 10yrs.

His choice. He has enough money to survive (most likely) and he's not hiding anything.

They're using it because people had to think he was valuable enough to pay him that much. It proves he's in demand and is a money maker.

All hail the Hypno-Sheen!

$85 million can vanish pretty quick for a fool addicted to drugs. Music producer Scott Storch blew thru 30 million in 6 months from coke and partying. He went from being worth almost $40 million to being flat broke in a years time. And if anything Sheen's worse off than him.

Even if Sheen gives me all his money today, he'll still have plenty to live on from royalties and such. You hear that Charlie?

He's only functional in the sense he is able to earn money. He is not functioning as a member of society. He has had run ins with the law. Been sentenced to rehab. Has only escaped arrest by narrow margins.
It's like saying someone who drives at 180 miles per hour in the pouring rain on a dirt road is functional because he hasn't had a fatal crash yet.

btw did anyone see any of the supposed joy and happiness that all his drugging and whoring are supposed to be bringing him? I see a bitter, unhappy, hateful man in these interviews.

That may be, but if he survives ten years and has to live off the declining $ from syndication, he will still look back on these last few months with major regret. The 30 some million he's living on the table will be a bitter memory.

I don't know why anyone would think sheen as a partier to respect. There are plenty of rich motherfuckers who do drugs, party well, and keep their shit together well into their 60's. Losing control is for amateurs. And your definitely not in control when you're found by the police with a freaked out hooker in your hotel bathroom.

Hunter S. Thompson lived a hell of a lot better life than Sheen, and there are tons of party-but-keep-your-shit freaks at Burning Man every year.

Of course, coke is a terrible drug to attempt to ride into middle age...
