Charlie Sheen is Quitting 'Two & A Half Men', Claims To Be Close to A Deal With HBO - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 02-25-2011, 10:47 AM

Charlie Sheen is not taking the news of Warner Bros. and CBS's decision to suspend production of 'Two and a Half Men' too well.

In a message to RadarOnline.com, Sheen called the decision "crazy" and "sad" and said that he was moving to HBO to do his own half-hour show titled 'Sheen's Corner.' The deal would reportedly get him $5 million for an episode.

Sheen is already the highest paid actor on TV earning $2 million for each episode of 'Two and a Half Men.'

Sheen reportedly said, "I'm close to securing a deal with HBO for a 10 show guarantee. It will be epic, all types of guests, and we will focus on the truth and the absurd!" Radar notes that HBO could not be contacted for comment.

Radar is also reporting that Sheen accepted a challenge to prove that he is clean and sober by agreeing to undergo a drug test on Monday. Sheen said, "I'm so confident where I am at and that these faceless names can't touch me ... I know that I will pass the test and prove my detractors wrong."

Well, if "Two and a Half Men" is still on without Charlie Sheen...maybe they can get Charlie's brother Emilio Estevez to be the new Man...or they adopt a boy because the other Half Man is becoming a Man....

From CNNshowbiz' Twitter account: A rep for HBO tells CNN "there is no truth" to Charlie Sheen's earlier statement that he is moving to HBO for his own show.

And all this time I thought the half-man of the series referred to Charlie.

I'm not surprised. You can't believe anything Sheen says at this time. I also read where the people behind Major League 3 said they wouldn't hire Sheen unless he cleaned up his act. Charlie's ruining his career.

Besides, Sheen is still under contract, so if he did try to leave, he'd be in breach of contract and vulnerable to a lawsuit from the show's producers.

Sheen is an idiot -- he's had so many chances to clean up his act, but always falls back into bad behavior. He's got the tiger by the tail -- a top rated TV show that pays him extremely well to basically play a version of himself -- but can't seem to be satisfied.

I think you give him too much credit, Charles!!

Sheen is nuts. I heard he got fired. I don't think he has appeal to the masses unless he's in his sitcom. Who wants to listen to him espouse his 9/11 "Truther" nonsense. Yesterday he said he was going to be making big movies. I think his best days are behind him; then again, I've been proven wrong before.

catlover79 · 02-25-2011, 03:10 PM

Only time will tell, but I think he'll be in the same boat as Lindsay Lohan. No one will want to take a chance on him, not that I'd blame them!!

TJL · 02-25-2011, 09:06 PM

Wow Charlie, that show sounds like a tremendous pile of crap.

And if you think HBO is going to pay you anywhere close to 2 million bucks an episode, you are on drugs.

Wait, you are on drugs...

catlover79 · 02-26-2011, 03:14 AM

Like I said, NO ONE is going to want to take a chance on him. After the comments Charlie made about CBS prez Les Moonves - I think it's a safe bet to say that CBS will mostly cut their losses with him.
