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…

JON CRYER HAS COME A LONG WAY SINCE “PRETTY IN PINK”

Jon Cryer looks like a whole new – and way more sinister- person with his shaved head. At least until he smiles. Charlie Sheen’s nice-guy costar on Two and a Half Men must be able to retire any time he wants to. Seems like his “Men” series is on TV several times EVERY day – the residuals must be mind boggling. With that kind of financial security, Jon can be choosy about his work. Cryer is married to entertainment reporter Lisa Joyner and they have a little girl Daisy (above.)

ANGUS T JONES: IS THIS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET RELIGION?

angusjonesgCUTTTT

Angus T Jones, 20, admits he walked away from his 6 million dollar a year job on “Two and a Half Men” to get closer to God! This must have been quite a surprise to his parents, who both have criminal records. Jones became a Seventh Day Adventist and shortly after, decided his series was “filth” and advised people not to watch it. That led to his inevitable departure, and he is now living in Colorado where he lectures about God at churches across the country. Fortunately, he is also taking classes at the University of Colorado and MIGHT come to his senses one day. Of course now he can afford to do whatever he wants, and we hope that includes a good education, before his money evaporates. The switch from TV to God certainly hasn’t improved his looks.

WHAT ANGUS T JONES NEEDS IS CULT DEPROGRAMMING

The real tragedy in the Angus T Jones story is not the fact that he bad-mouthed his own TV series, but the fact that the 19 year old actor has been brainwashed into a cult. His parents’ divorce seems to have devastated the kid and he has no close ties to his family now. It’s when young people like him (especially wealthy ones) are adrift and ”lost” that cults like Scientology or “Forerunner Chronicles” step in and offer a solution. That video was a sad example of what they have done with his malleable mind. Hopefully “Two and a Half Men” producers can see what’s happening and NOT take it out on Jones by firing him. And hopefully there is a cult interventionist waiting in the wings…

AGAINST ALL ODDS, CHARLIE SHEEN AND HIS NEW TEETH ARE BACK!

Like most people, we thought the highest paid actor on TV, Charlie Sheen, had pretty much destroyed his acting career when he was fired from “Two and a Half Men” last year. His coke and hooker scandal, public meltdown, and feud with the show’s producers seemed like the last nail in his coffin. When he made a deal to star on another series- Anger Management – for a lot less money, we doubted it would never come to fruition. But now we actually think it might work! Smart producers are basing the character on real-life Charlie (which made Two and a Half Men successful.) His character is a former baseball player turned anger therapist who treats people at his home in the San Fernando Valley. He’s often more messed up than his goofy assortment of patients. Writers promise the show will be even edgier than “Men” and if they are half as good as “Men’s” clever writers, Charlie has another hit on his hands.

DID ASHTON KUTCHER OUTGROW HIS MARRIAGE TO DEMI MOORE?

/a>

Fans are wondering whether Demi Moore, 48, will forgive Ashton Kutcher, 33, for fooling around with party girl Sara Leal, but Ashton might not WANT to be forgiven. Since this isn’t the first time he seems to have succumbed to temptation, it could be that Ashton has decided he didn’t get enough partying out of his system before he got married. Ashton and Demi started dating when he was 25. This year Ashton signed a 20 million dollar contract for “Two and a Half Men” and the show is a hit – many doors have opened for him. The fact that Ashton and Demi arrived at and left Kabbalah counseling in LA separately indicates they are NOT in agreement. Suddenly the age difference IS an issue.

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.

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.

“TWO AND A HALF MEN” PRODUCER PLANS A FIERY DEATH FOR CHARLIE SHEEN

“Two and a Half Men” fans are wondering how Charlie Sheen’s character will disappear and how Ashton Kutcher will fit into the series next season. UK writer Andrew Morton insists that he has inside information. Morton says that it’s likely that Charlie’s character will be killed off in a spectacular car crash when his Mercedes flies off a cliff near his Malibu home. After Charlie’s funeral, his beach house will be put up for sale. Ashton Kutcher will enter the show’s plot line by buying the home. He’ll take pity on Charlie’s broke brother Alan, played by Jon Cryer, and his son Jake, and let them continue to live there. Sounds plausible.
