Charlie Sheen wants $3 million an episode
Charlie Sheen isn’t on cocaine, marijuana, opiates, amphetamines, alcohol and methadone, but that doesn’t mean he’s not high… on himself.
The ticked off star told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that he’ll sue CBS for breach of contract and NBC that he deserves a 50 percent raise if he goes back to CBS’ “Two and a Half Men.”
That would give him $3 million per episode.
“Because of psychological distress, it is 3 mill an episode, take it or leave it,” Sheen said. “I am tired of pretending I am not special. I’m tired of pretending like I’m not bitching a total freaking rock star from Mars. And people can’t figure me out. They can’t process me. I don’t expect them to. You can’t process me with a normal brain.”
CBS pulled the plug on the hit show Thursday after Sheen’s rant on Alex Jones Radio Show.
Charlie Sheen is the son of Dayton native Martin Sheen.

I liked Sheen in Ferris Bueler’s Day Off. I haven’t watched his sitcom. Now I know why. I feel sorry for his dad who is grieving over Charlie’s behavior. Don’t tell me Charlie’s not on something. If he’s not, he needs to be admitted to a hospital for psychological problems. Anybody who thinks that highly of themself will be put down some day and hard is that fall. At the rate Charlie is going, his money WILL run out. It doesn’t matter how much he has. He’s doing it to himself, or else he needs to be put in a mental hospital—either way, he needs help. I think he’s still on something (user).

The show is okay ,but Charlie Sheen is not worth 3 million an episode. It must be nice to that big of an ego .

If Charlie doesn’t get help, he is a dead man. The sad part about it is he will probably get the three million per episode.

Two and a Half men used to be funny. When you watch it now, it seems to be like watching Sheen’s real live, with boozing and the hookers. The show is not what it used to be. No actor is worth 3 million an episode. Time to take it off the air.

I say refine what ever it is he’s taking and give smaller doses to those suffering from depression to boost their ego a bit. Charlie needs to get off the drug and maybe his sanity could return. He’s no way sane now.

Wife and I like the show. Watch it every night on CW and FX. Know the script so well we both sit and say the line before it is delivered. Only sitcom we watch. However….Sheen is acting like a total brain-dead moron with this outburst and demand for more money. Look at that face on the picture above. Isn’t that the face of a druggie/alcoholic? He looks old before his time and has put 10 years of age on his face in the last year or two with his drug/alcohol habits. Sad to see that the show might end for this reason. Never can replace the original cast and make it work. Just ain’t the same. Grow up Sheen. There are millions who would appreciate being where you are now with your wealth/celebrity status, but not necessarily your lifestyle. You should try our lives on for size. Maybe you would appreciate what you have and stop acting like a spoiled brat.

Look at his pic above.Now tell me he isnt a user. He isnt worth the 3 mil anymore. Has his big ego stopped to think of the cast members out of a job now. I agree his show was starting to mock the lifestyle he lives. He needs to take a few class lessons from his brother Emilio and his dad. He has now officially made his name mud in showbiz and i hardly see him getting that much money since he now is a liability.

Anyone with that big an ego is overcompensating for feeling inadequate. I wonder why he has to prove that he is so far above everyone else, maybe he’s still trying to get his dad’s attention? His dad is sad, and so are the rest of Charlie’s fans…for him. We can see what Mr. Ego can’t, that he’s falling apart and destroying himself from within. He’s not in angst because of his art, he wants someone out there to “SAVE HIM” from himself. Can’t you see that? He’s crying out for help. Instead, people are making fun of him. He needs help before he kills himself. I feel for his family. This is a hard thing. I don’t see Charlie carrying on much more. He will soon go through his riches, no matter how much he has.

Charlie is sick, lonely, unable-to-change, guilt-ridden, and shame-filled (slugs). Such is the nature of addiction. He desperately needs Sobriety, Love, Unity, Growth, and Spirituality (SLUGS). Such is the nature of recovery. Hope he finds his way to the SluggersPath.

The network should take Sheen at his word and leave it. There are lots of aging unemployed actors that would love to take his role.

Squirrelleygirl - Sheen was not in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. That would be Matthew Broderick. Sheen is a fine actor, comedy and drama, his body of work proves that.I hope he gets the help he clearly needs. Although, if he won’t admit to needing it, won’t make any difference. A sad situation.

Null - Sheen WAS in Ferris Bueller’s Day off…he just wasn’t the star. Think about it - the rebel Ferris’s sister ends up with, ring a bell?? 3 Mil an episode? That alone makes me ashamed to be feeding into any kind of entertainment industry…so much money thrown out on the likes of Sheen and Lohan - so they can ruin their life with drugs and alcohol…so many people out there who need help and we are more concerned with our entertainment.

they are trying to treat the symptom and not the source of the problem. It is clear Sheen is Bi-Polar, and THAT is what is causing his addictive, grandiose, narcissitic behavior. Treat the source and the rest will come. That being said, I do like th eshow, and I do like Sheen. I hope he gets the right help he needs to turn his life around. A lot has been made about his negatives, but they really need to examine some of the humanitarian things he has done too…

Charlie Sheen is good but not 3 million dollars good. Give the 3 million to the kid and berta they are funny and deserve it.

The real sad part about Charlie is, he’s on 45 years old. He’s already had plastict surgery and he looks like he’s 60. If you don’t think drugs and alcohol takes a toll on your body, look closely at him.

The press needs to shut him down. Just stop reporting on him & doing interviews. He needs a dose of reality.

Shouldn’t you have to admit to experiencing some sort of psychological problem before trying to sue for “psychological distress?” Just sayin’.

Stick a fork in him. I think he’s done. Like all other drug addicts, a nice foaming at the mouth overdose would do him and the rest of the world good by putting him out of his misery. It would also put a few drug dealers out of biz.

His behavior is pitiful. I feel sorry for his father who has agonized over him for years. I guess you can only put your kid in treatment so many times. If Mr. Sheen is reading these posts, I am truly sorry for you and your family and hope that Charlie can get the help he needs before he wastes his life away.

Sheen is a spoiled brat who never grew up. He chooses to spend time using cocaine and prostitutes but what about spending quality time with his 5 children? He doesn’t even have any of them living with him. And he treatened his ex-wife’s life at Christmas time in Aspen. I think he just a low class punk and I hope he doesn’t ever find work again. No loss to anyone.

Sheen plays a mellowed out version of himself on the show. Berta and the kid are the ones that are funny. Too bad his sorry butt is going to cause the entire cast to lose their jobs!

I watched last night as Charlie was kissing his prostitute and his girlfriend, and I thought that should not be around those kids. All that “lovin’” going on with the children right there can’t be good. I heard this morning that his exwife was doing something about their kids. I also heard this morning that Charlie lost his kids (which means they must have been living with him, too). Today it seems that if you have money you control the courts, but Charlie showed the world what is going on inside his house and dared the public to do anything about it. Well, I hope Charlie gets help and that his kids are taken care of and not involved in the screwy stuff going on there. That’s all I can say.

Come on. CBS should take the 3 mil and pay the cast and crew of the show that show up everyday clean, sober and trying to earn a living.

Charlie Sheen does not deserve the $3 million he is asking. He is out of control. And not a good role model for anyone at all. He does not make that show funny, it is the whole cast. He is a selfish man. And yes, I do believe “bipolar”.

Bipolar? Maybe he’s just a sinner deceived in his own mind by his sins because he would not love the truth. Every one of us need to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Meantime, somebody needs to SAVE those children from that man. He should never be left alone with them. What kind of “man” puts a prostitute and a model in charge of babysitting his own children? He’s not a man. Those poor kids.

I haven’t been watching the show; however, I will for sure not watch the show in the future. This show only depicts his actual lame life is pitiful and makes me feel pity for him. Who wants to waste their time watching somebody act out how they are destroying their own life. It would make me feel like I need a bath after watching it. I’m just sayin’…

Charlie needs to get over himself. A TV show about nothing but sex and that has a young child in it is pathetic. He needs to take his meds before they go after him with a net.
