Charlie Sheen moves fast. After engineering his own career meltdown with months of drug-and-prostitute-laced scandal -- then topping it all off this week with scathing public rants about his show's creator, Chuck Lorre, prompting CBS to cancel the remaining season of 'Two and a Half Men' -- Sheen is reportedly seeking a new, off-camera source of income.
Caribbean getaways and rooms at the Plaza don't pay for themselves, people! (Neither do children.)
The actor, who recently claimed he kicked drugs at his employers' behest "in about an hour," is now writing a tell-all book about 'Two and a Half Men,' according to TMZ.
Details about life on set, and what led to the abrupt flameout of CBS' longtime hit and No. 1 sitcom cash cow, are expected to dominate the memoir.
'When the Laughter Stopped' is the title he's reportedly pitching, and TMZ says Sheen wants $10 million for the rights to publish his story. No doubt, the audiobook version could be a masterpiece.
The question is whether the suddenly verbose TV star can pull back on the foul-mouthed, wildly descriptive public tirades, and save any of his very colorful take on things for the book. Or will his potential readership feel they've heard enough?
Though he's now shared his low opinion of Lorre (EW.com explains how Sheen's borderline-offensive nickname of "Chaim Levine" was initially coined by Lorre himself, albeit not as a perjorative), as well as his unique rehab program ("I have a disease?" Sheen said during a radio interview this week. "Bulls**t. I cured it...with my mind..."), he hasn't talked about fellow cast members much. In his book, the aspiring author allegedly intends to dish the dirt about co-stars.
