Well this morning he just filed a $100 million lawsuit against Warner Bros and Chuck Lorre.

Thanks Vinny!

Can't say I'm surprised. Didn't we all know it was coming?

Not necessarily the proper thread but since we covered Lohan.......Mel Gibson settled and will NOT get jail time.


TIS

I saw an entertainment lawyer on Access Hollywood this morning. He says these things almost always get settled out of court. So if Charlie wants a full years pay, and CBS doesn't want to give him anything, the judge will probably place the settlement somewhere around half.

Wait a minute, Lindsay settled? I haven't heard anything about that. That was such a weak case. I would've never settled.

No, Mel Gibson Settled. I didn't phrase that correctly. I'll amend

LAPD raids Charlie Sheen's mansion after receiving tip that actor owned guns, ammo

BY Nancy Dillon
DAILY NEWS WEST COAST BUREAU CHIEF

LOS ANGELES - Cops raided Charlie Sheen's gated mansion Thursday night after hearing the loose cannon had firearms that violated his estranged wife's restraining order.

"Crazy, crazy, crazy. It's crazy here," a source inside the house told the Daily News shortly after multiple cruisers from the Los Angels Police Department arrived.

A police spokeswoman said detectives were investigating a tip that Sheen owned guns and ammunition. They began searching his palatial estate shortly after 8 p.m. Pacific time. A police official tells The Associated Press that officers retrieved one weapon, an antique gun.

Sheen later tweeted the LAPD were AWESOME. Absolute pros! they can protect and serve this Warlock anytime!!!

Sheen's wife Brooke Mueller got a temporary restraining order March 1 after claiming Sheen recently punched her and threatened to send her decapitated head to her mother in a box.

"All good here on the homefront. All reports are false," Sheen tweeted after rumors spread that police were looking for drugs and wanted to place him on a psych hold. "I'll explain more very soon."

Inexplicably, lawyers for Sheen and Mueller said late Thursday that the couple reached an agreement that settles custody issues and will end their pursuit of the restraining order, The Associated Press reported.

A hearing had been scheduled for March 22.

Earlier in the day, Sheen filed a $100 million suit against his former bosses on "Two and a Half Men."

On page after page, Sheen claims show creator Chuck Lorre humiliated, harassed and disparaged him for years, wanted him punished and made him the scapegoat in a diabolical plan to shut down TV's top-rated sitcom.

He says Warner Bros. decided to "placate" Lorre's "massive ego and selfish demands" because he runs two other sitcoms for the studio: "The Big Bang Theory" and "Mike and Molly."

"Lorre is the proverbial '800-pound gorilla,' " the lawsuit says in language only slightly less colorful than Sheen's insult-filled on-air rants against his enemies.

"Lorre's inflated ego, laziness and ill-will toward Mr. Sheen and his perceived lifestyle is in direct derogation of Mr. Sheen's rights."

The lawsuit claims Sheen was clean, sober and ready to return to work Feb. 14, but Lorre "unilaterally" decided not to write scripts in violation of the star's $2 million-per-episode contract.

Sheen, 45, was fired from the hit show Monday, capping a tumultuous run that featured sex-and-drug benders, attacks against his TV bosses, and the launch of a Twitter feed that created a loony lexicon of catchphrases like "tiger blood" and "Winning!"

Lorre's lawyer dismissed Sheen's scenario.

"The allegations in the complaint against Mr. Lorre are as recklessly false and unwarranted as Mr. Sheen's rantings to the media. These accusations are simply imaginary," said Howard Weitzman. "Chuck Lorre's concern has been and continues to be about Mr. Sheen's health."

Attorneys for Charlie Sheen and his estranged wife say the former couple have reached an agreement that settles any custody issues and will end her pursuit of a lengthy restraining order.

Story: L.A. police search Charlie Sheen's home for firearms
Attorneys for Sheen and Brooke Mueller issued a statement Thursday night saying the pair had "reached an agreement that resolves their differences." The statement said the details of the arrangement were being kept confidential for the benefit of their twin sons.

Mueller obtained a temporary restraining order against Sheen earlier this month, claiming he threatened her on a recent trip to the Bahamas. A hearing had been scheduled for March 22.

Los Angeles police went to Sheen's home Thursday night, hours after the agreement was announced, apparently searching for weapons.

Wonderful news. Now we can all relax.

Yes, maybe I can finally move my bowels now. This whole custody thing slammed my sphincter shut.

PB, I think I just threw up reading your post. Please, do you not understand what the acronym TMI stands for????

I saw nothing wrong with that. Man should be able to open up about these things. There is no shame in having an anal sphincter.

Charlie Sheen launched his official website last night, complete with a brand new disturbing rant video.

http://charliesheen.com/

Jesus Christ. He must think his "followers" are laughing with him, instead of at him. I don't find this the slightest bit amusing anymore. It's old news and people will quickly tire of the overexposure. The man needs help and someone who loves him should just grab him by the throat and drag him to a hospital.

And on an unrelated note, how is this still in the news after the worst earthquake in 300 years? This is why I fucking hate the celebrity obsessed media. They're the lowest of the low. Leaches and bloodsuckers. If one of the really aggressive ones (the Hollywood paparazzi) ever got popped by an angry celeb who actually wanted his privacy, I'd publicly cheer the assassination. And I don't care what that makes me.

Well I know Nancy Grace and Geraldo Rivera would probably call your stance despicable. You'd be dirt in their eyes. However, you'd be a warlock in Charlie Sheen's and you'd have me and just about every major celebrity in your corner till the very end.

Neither did I.

And I agree Sheen's gotten WAY too much attention from the media as well as the Gangster BB; the tragedy and loss in Japan should put him at the bottom of the news where he belongs.

What if it's all a dream a la Dallas?

Charlie walks out of the shower and Alan says to him: "I just had the strangest dream. You went bananas and got fired from the show."

watched the show a few times this week..

isn't this show just a blatant ripoff of this show





sheen plays the man's man....but more in terms of bedding women than in being gruff.


his brother is felix unger

Ha ha. I never thought of the comparison but yea. Cryer would be a perfect Felix. I agree Sheen is not as "gruff".


On another note, regarding Sheen..I heard a few days ago on the radio that Sheen was actually taking his show on the road and will be appearing in Detroit with his rants. Seriously! I didn't take it as a joke. They said a huge amount of tickets have already been sold. Perhaps our friend Lilo can confirm.

TIS

Yeah, he's booked in Detroit, New York and somewhere else. My personal opinion: People are going to tire of that act VERY fast. He's not a stand up comedian, he's an actor (and a talented one at that). But doing improv is a whole new ballgame. And I think people are already tired of hearing that he's "winning." What else can he really talk about?

Yup, TIS, PB ..Sheen sold out the Fox Theater in 18 minutes. That's about 5000 seats, give or take.
On his radio show this was a matter of amused frustration to Mitch Albom , who put on a tribute to Ernie Harwell at the Fox before his passing. It took a lot longer to sell those tickets. I'm not sure if that was a sellout ot not.

As far as possible Sheen topics
"Polygamy and you-a guide for the Alpha Warlock"
"Are you crazy or just winning-Tell the difference"
"I'm special, you're not-Deal with it"
"80 million ways to convince women to love you"
"Prison's for other people-10 ways to avoid jail"

I love Albom. I met him once. He's about the same size as a Cadillac hood ornament.

I went to a signing at the Union Square Barnes and Noble to see him, Lilo. My wife was cuckoo for "Morrie," so we shot down and made a night of it. Anyway, I really think he was sitting on a phone book when he was fielding questions. I was going to ask him if he was taller than Mike Lupica, but the Missus threatened to file for divorce right then and there if I did.

I used to read Mad Magazine when I was young.

The tv parodies were HILARIOUS....if a current shw had any similarities to an older show, they'd get called on it.


2 and half men = the Odd Couple but with Sam Malone from Cheers replacing Oscar.

Funny you posted that, Gets. I had to use the search feature to find this, but here's what I posted about the show way back on September 23, 2008, in the "Movies/TV Random Post Whoring" thread:



As far as the Sam Malone/Charlie Harper comparison: Yeah, I can definitely see where you're coming from, in that they were both aging lotharios. But Sam Malone seemed to be a decent person at heart. Charlie Harper may have a "heart of gold," but he's clearly a pretty selfish guy. Plus, Sam Malone beat his problem with booze, and speaking about it was a recurring theme during the 11 year run of "Cheers." Charlie Harper never showed the slighest inclination towards quitting, or even cutting back for that matter.

Of course, the Cheers era of tv was able to be funny without being crude. I don't recall bathroom or similar "humor" in Cheers scripts. Indeed, Malone was a Lothario who, whil e
unrepentent, was not debauched like Sheen's character (on or off the screen).

Sources tell me Charlie Sheen is working on a deal with Fox, which is good news. We all love Fox.

If this ain't winning, then I don't know what is
