Charlie Sheen Chuck Lorre How to Be a Bookie Two And A Half Men

CHARLIE SHEEN GETS ANOTHER CHANCE

SOME people have all the luck. After 8 years of incredible success, Charlie Sheen walked out on his series Two and a Half Men after he had a public meltdown and verbally attacked and insulted his producer Chuck Lorre. This was followed by lawsuits and begrudging settlements. But miracles DO happen. Bad boy Sheen took responsibility for his awful behavior and apologized to Lorre and they are back in business! Charlie will appear on Lorre’s new series How To Be a Bookie starring Sebastian Maniscalco. Given Maniscalco’s current popularity, the new series is already a hot commodity…

Ashton Kutcher Charlie Sheen Chuck Lorre Denise Richards Feuds Two And A Half Men

DENISE RICHARDS DIDN’T WANT TO BE A PAWN IN THE WAR BETWEEN CHARLIE SHEEN AND CHUCK LORRE

Denise Richards is smarter than she looks. We were startled to hear that she was invited to appear on the first episode of this season’s “Two and a Half Men” with Ashton Kutcher. Certainly she can use the money and exposure for her lagging career. But we give her credit for instantly recognizing it was not a generous gesture on the part of producer Chuck Lorre, but simply one-up-man-ship. It would have been a huge slap in Charlie Sheen’s face if Denise had accepted the role. Denise doesn’t want to erode relations with the father of her children so she regretfully turned down the opportunity.

Charlie Sheen Chuck Lorre Emmys Revenge Two And A Half Men

CHUCK LORRE’S FINAL REVENGE ON CHARLIE SHEEN: NO EMMY FOR “TWO AND A HALF MEN”

Producer Chuck Lorre denied himself and his cast and crew the opportunity of winning an Emmy for Best Comedy for “Two and a Half Men” this year because he did NOT submit his incredibly popular show for consideration. The production staff made excuses citing the “circumstances of the past season” which translates to Charlie Sheen’s meltdown. However, our source tells us the REAL reason Lorre didn’t submit the show is because if it won, Charlie Sheen COULD have gotten up on the stage with Lorre and the cast to accept the award and that would have KILLED Chuck. Who knows if Sheen would have, but Chuck Lorre seems to have cut off his nose to spite his face.

IS HUGH GRANT AFRAID TO TAKE CHARLIE SHEEN’S JOB?

Hugh Grant’s career is not exactly on fire – he hasn’t had a hit movie in quite awhile. In fact, he toyed with the idea of quitting acting not long ago. The “Notting Hill” star seems ripe for a lucrative TV offer and it doesn’t get much better than a million dollars an episode for “Two and a Half Men.” According to Deadline Hollywood, Chuck Lorre wants to replace his leading man Charlie Sheen with Hugh, but Grant is playing hard to get. (Do you suppose he’s afraid of the wrath of Charlie Sheen?) Just last night Hugh backed away from the deal due to “creative differences,” but we think he’ll come to his senses.

Charlie Sheen Chuck Lorre Revenge Two And A Half Men

CHUCK LORRE’S REVENGE: THE SHOW WILL GO ON WITHOUT CHARLIE SHEEN!

“Two and a Half Men” producer Chuck Lorre kept silent while Charlie Sheen ranted and raved and called him a “stupid little man,” a “maggot,” and worse. He didn’t respond, but he was apparently quietly and methodically planning his revenge. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lorre has notified CBS, Warner Brothers, and Charlie’s costar John Cryer, that he has an idea that will save the show – it involves rebooting the script and hiring a new character. Everybody wants to see the highly profitable show back on the air so it’s almost certain to return – without Charlie. Although Charlie is still trying to worm his way back in, Lorre is anticipating that speculation and publicity about the new casting will steal Charlie’s thunder.

EGOS AND ETHICS ASIDE, CBS WANTS CHARLIE BACK UNDER HIS TERMS

The Charlie Sheen story took the biggest twist of all today. After Charlie filed suit against CBS for firing him, it LOOKED LIKE producers were thinking of recasting the show. But Charlie’s enduring popularity and ability to sell out concerts must have gotten them thinking they were fools to reject a cash cow – even a mad one. The only easy solution for all the bad press and lawsuits was to kiss and make up. Two and a half million dollars an episode for “Two and a Half Men” will certainly get Charlie’s attention. Chuck Lorre – the target of Charlie’s insults- will have to put his ego aside in the name of profits. Time to forget about taking the high road.
