Taak Farst Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Charlie Sheen gets paid £2m per show, and he has now claimed that he is under paid, and demands a pay rise of £3m per show. in return to his demands, they gave him the sack. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12672676 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 He was pretty much sacked after the radio comments from a week or so ago. Not overly smart to insult your boss on the radio. Better title would be Two and a Half Men sacked by Charlie Sheen because no matter how crazy Charlie Sheen appears he is correct in that that show could never go on without him. Plus I don’t blame him for asking for a raise, do you know how expensive it is today to have two porn stars at your beck and call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well let me scrub my brain out with soap for that image mimartin. Frankly I think someone needs to give a butt kicking to Sheen. He's been in trouble before and I seriously doubt that he would make a comeback. Plus he is a selfish bastard since he affected all the little peons who make the show possible besides his fellow actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverandbacon Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 "We need to cut off his face and wear it and go on a really tightly budgeted shopping spree in stores that don't exist yet." - Charlie Sheen on That Guy who makes his network connection fail. When that's the most rational thing you say in a video, you're having problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommycat Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy... No really, if he had been nicer, they might not have sacked his show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Sheen is an addict. Sober he may be the most giving person in the world, but his addiction causes him to act like a jerk. My real father was like that sober he was a great friend, dad and role model. Drunk…well as a drunk I did not see him the first 13 years of my life.

Q Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 This outcome was pretty much inevitable. I wonder if he'll ever work again, or if he'll just end up dying face-down in a puddle of his own urine and vomit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 *points @ mim* enough of your sappy sob story! As for Charlie Sheen... who cares, people need to stop paying attention to her, but the entire population of asshats can't stop looking at him which is just fueling him to go on with his own asshattery.

Q Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Actually, this is just getting good. He's been ****canned, and now we get to watch his downward spiral into oblivion. Now the real drama begins. Will he make a recovery, or will he die convulsing in the gutter like River Phoenix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Char Ell Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Is fascination with celebrity train wrecks unique to America or do other parts of the "civilized" world get in on this kind of action too? The last movie I saw Charlie Sheen in was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I've only watched a few minutes of the sitcom series he just got fired from and obviously didn't find it of interest to me. Too bad Charlie Sheen's antics have impacted the livelihoods of the rest of the cast and crew for the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, I don't understand how a lot of popular shows got that way. Most network tv sucks. As to Charlie, I guess his downward spiral will be more entertaining than his last role. Too bad for for the rest of the cast and crew that relied on that show for a paycheck.....but that's showbiz in all its ugliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimartin Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 He's a great example of why coke and meth should never be legalized. But Charlie is a winner. I know it was on his tweet so it must be true. Then again he may have been so high that he mistyped and meant to write “I’m a wiener.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Too bad for for the rest of the cast and crew that relied on that show for a paycheck.....but that's showbiz in all its ugliness. I'll grant you that much of the crew will need to find other work, yes, but I can't help but laugh at those who seem to think that the rest of the main cast will be in danger of living on the streets if they don't find work before long. Angus T. Jones, who plays Jake, has been making roughly $300,000 an episode for the last three years. He's the lowest paid actor on the show. The cast will be just fine.

Q Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 John Cryer was always the real talent in that show. I wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qui-Gon Glenn Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Duckie? Yeah, he'll be fine, but has been and always will be Duckie to me. Sheen on the other hand, as I saw Dr. Drew comment on in a plug for Celebrity Rehab, is going to wind up in a ditch somewhere. A shame, as he was really quite good for quite a long while. Waste of a perfectly good white boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I don't care for Charlie Sheen but I do like Charlie Harper. Two and a half man has been an orgasmic show for nearly a decade to me, always a good reason to laugh. Of course the TV moves on but I don't feel it was the show's time right now. Nevertheless, Sheen has dropped the ball. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 mimartin: I get where you're coming at with the addict tale. I have family who are recovering addicts and I remember the pain of that. Still makes me wonder if the combination of drugs, alcohol and sex really messed Sheen up to the point where he just lost his marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus T. Jones, who plays Jake, has been making roughly $300,000 an episode for the last three years. He's the lowest paid actor on the show. The cast will be just fine. Who said anything about living in the streets? Or, for that matter, just the "main" cast? Most shows employ more than just 3 or 4 actors. I seriously doubt that many of the crew will be in the streets either as they are unionized and make pretty good money as a result. Still sucks, though, to have a narcissitic loser like Sheen prematurely take away your bread and butter. Waste of a perfectly good white boy. Wait. I thought that was John Cusack.
