charlie sheen is not bad at the persona that he plays (which is probably just himself).

but good god that show sucks. how could anyone get paid nearly a mil for 21 minutes of complete lack of funny.

Agreed...I think the show sucks.

So how does the name thing work? His father, Martin Sheen, gets a pseudonym and the son adopts it? Sheen? Their real name is Estevez, right?

The local papers here in colorado have been covering this for the last few days.

What's funny, is the Denver Post stated that Sheen is the highest paid actor on a sitcom, making $850,000 + per episode of "Two and a Half Men"

didn't think he made that much.

That show is pretty fucking funny.

Yup. Both his dad and his brother have been on the show too -- both hilarious episodes.

Meh...another Hollywood actor who thinks normal rules don't apply to him.

I like Charlie Sheen, but he's always been this way.

Hell, wasn't he one of the named clients of "The Hollywood Madam," Heidi Fleiss?

Is this a case where he doesn't understand that you can't treat your wife like you would a hooker?

Sheen has been off the deep end for quite some time now. The latest incident is no suprise.

Sheen must have some pretty good hookups...one of the shows I watched had him, Bono, Al Pachino and Sean Penn on screen at the same time playing poker.

The cameos they get on there are pretty insane. Brooke Shields playing the alchoholic nypmho was good too. :)

I saw the episode you referenced a few weeks ago. You've got the names wrong though... it was:

Sean Penn
Elvis Costello
Harry Dean Stanton

NM...I googled the episode. I just saw it in passing as my wife was watching. I don't even know who Harry Dean Stanton was. He did look a hell of a lot like Al Pacino though.

You saw a different episode. In this one they the let Alan join in for a bit until he annoyed them to the point where they duct taped him to a light pole in the middle of a busy street.

Regardless, it's a testament to the names that Sheen can draw in.

Yup, that's the one I'm talking about:

Charlie is having some friends coming over to his house to have a gathering but Alan is not invited. Things got worse when Alan is also not invited to Judith's party even though her guests are Alan's friends.
