Charlie Sheen Fired from Two and a Half Men!

I'm a little disappointed in you Skip.

Usually post more interesting news than this (even when it is about similarly trivial topics)

ah, hell...Charlie is only self medicating his issues, like 90% of the world...some use chemicals, some use cash, some use bombs. i can't see a difference in Charlie and the rest of the world....i'm self medicating right now!

we're all a bunch of hypocrites.

gaddafi's lookin' good. maybe he could have Charlie's old role when he leaves libya? 'Two and a half dictators'...who would play the other parts?

 

Me too.

 

Skip clearly has a hard on for Charlie Sheen. How many threads has does the dude have anyway?

 

I have not understood the hype, so what, he is messed up, lots of people, and lots of celebrities are. Who cares.

And for everyone doubting that his lifestyle is sustainable without two and a half men. Currently with over 2 million followers on twitter reading his every word, it is rumored that he gets payed 25K a tweet. I am sure he DOES think he is god when you only have to type some kind of drug educed sentence every so often and make a ton of money.

Of course how long that money train lasts is unknown to me.

 

I will admit that I'm amused. The whole "watching train wreck" thing with the bonus challenge of trying to figure out what drug(s) he's on for any given interview. The goddess babes look to me to be exactly that. He just raised his finger to tens of millions of dollars dangled in front of him by a corporation, and there's something amusing about that in any case.

A lot of people roll their eyes at entertainment figures when they give an opinion on anything. Opinions on political, economic, or social issues in particular. They're out of their field, it's said, and out of their league if they offer an opinion on a controversial subject. I no longer see it that way.

Whether a rock star, film star, or pop culture sensation, some (actually very very few) big stars have so much wealth and general appeal that they can, if they choose (fewer still do) to gain insights that few others can. They can take a year off and wander about Nepal, or spend a month in Afghanistan on a USO tour, or spend a month in a refugee camp helping in emergency food distribution after a disaster. They can often speak personally with political people, and powerful figures in institutions such as media and religion. They can travel anywhere in the world, take lots of time, and explore any curiosity. In many cases, they are financially secure enough to be more honest than most are- for instance, I'm no Lady Gaga fan, but it amused me that she supposedly told the press she used to take a lot of LSD in the parking lots of concerts.

Being human, there's usually blunders aplenty in these lives and opinions, but if you really listen to some of these people, they can give clueful insights you're just not going to get elsewhere. The train wreck is just a bonus. And sometimes, you just get the train wreck.

 

This will have the happy side effect of distracting much of the public- and drawing out their ration of outrage at something that does not substantially effect them while the real thugs continue to commit their larcenous deeds under cover of Hollywood's delicious diversion.

The human mind was not engineered to handle fame and fortune particularly well so after the empty and toxic shell of Charlie has been discarded once his mega-meltdown is complete, there will be an ample supply of high profile human train wrecks to utilize like Rodeo (ro-DAY-o) clowns.

 

Two and a half dictators. That's a good one. There may be a bright future for wee man.

 

i wonder how high his tolerance for coke is. its obviously at least enough to kill two and a half men.

 

I loved those shirts. They were the best '50s retro style.

Always wondered where they were from - just wardrobe?

 

I think they should continue 2 and a half men without him, bring in a replacement, maybe Martin Sheen, or be the first show to replace an actor with a CGI replica and dub in old recordings of his voice... I'd still watch it. Jon Cryer's funny as hell.

 

Bring in Emelio.

 

oh my god am I not safe from Charlie Sheen mania anywhere? I thought hipforums would be a refuge but noooo..

damnit.

edit: okay, so maybe charlie sheen mania has gotten me into its vise-like grip after seeing this headline

"Charlie Sheen waves machete on top of rooftop: "Free at last!"

http://content.usatoday.com/communi...heen-waves-machete-on-rooftop-free-at-last-/1

I couldn't resist clicking on it. I mean, a machete? Machetes are awesome. AND he called someone from two and a half men "what's-his-cheese." Charlie Sheen, I see why the public adores you so much. I admit it.

 

He got paid $2 million per episode for being himself on TV?

 

my boyfriend and I are eventually getting a corgi and I think charlie sheen would be a cute name for it

 

He doesn't deserve millions for a few hours work let alone the billions he claims the network made off him. This is really a testament to how out of control the TV industry has become. There is a lot of middlemen between him standing in a "silly shirt" and our living room sets but do a few network execs and producers deserve to hoard BILLIONS from it? While my poor ass spends over $60 a month to my provider for basic television service, these crooked fucking networks are squeezing our providers balls to pay top price for their channel signal.

 

Who really gives a shit what Charlie Sheen does or how he looks in the media.

I'd party with him...like you wouldn't. He'd have you fucked up with a gorgeous whore within minutes of stepping into his house.

 

I find it funny how, in every role Charlie Sheen ever took (with the exception of Platoon), he's at least a misogynistic boozer... even in "all dogs go to heaven"
