Charlie sheen rant

charlie sheen rant: It rarely works out well when celebrities decide, on impulse, to telephone radio talk shows and explain themselves. There’s evidence of a cruel sense of mischief, for one thing. Later charlie sheen rant shared his grievances with the gossip site TMZ, with further name-calling.

History shows that in Hollywood employers do find remarkable reserves of toleration for troubled actors, as long as their films or shows are popular and making money. Think of John Belushi. With Sheen there’s an another intriguing angle. The quoted remarks reveal strains of furious self-justification mingled with bitter blaming and invective. I was shackled and oppressed by the cult of AA for 22 years… The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning. I finally extracted myself from [AA’s] troll hole and started living my life the way I want to live it. It’s vintage, outdated and stupid and it’s followed by stupid people. I hate them violently. Debate me on AA right now. Bull****. The thing is, plenty of people who try AA as a way of dealing with their addiction discover, quite understandably, that it doesn’t agree with them. There’s a loose movement dedicated to what’s called “rational recovery” – ie, without the Higher Power. And many respectable authorities, like Stanford Peele, dispute AA’s philosophy and beliefs very cogently. Disliking AA is a valid position.

What I’m thinking of, as a driver of bitter hatred of AA, is that rage produced when an addict tries to come to terms with Step One of AA’s 12 steps. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol – that our lives had become unmanageable. This is the step where the addict admits, to his deepest innermost self, that he cannot run his life any more. He’s lost control.

“Two and a Half Men” star charlie sheen rant has skirted disaster as a wayward, middle-aged party boy who regularly tested the patience of the TV network and studio trying to protect their valuable sitcom property.

It was a violence-tinged and anti-Semitic radio rant that helped push him over the edge and, finally, forced CBS and Warner Bros. Television to take action.

In a one-sentence joint statement Thursday, the companies said they were ending production on television’s No. 1 sitcom for the season, a decision based on the “totality of Charlie Sheen’s statements, conduct and condition.”

Whether Charlie Sheen’s rant went far enough to sink the series and, possibly, his career as one of TV’s highest-paid actors remained unclear.

Sheen’s rambling interview Thursday with host Alex Jones was reminiscent of Mel Gibson’s rant during a 2006 traffic stop – but Sheen knew his rant was public.

The production halt leaves CBS eight episodes shy of the 24 half-hours it had expected to air as the cornerstone of its Monday night comedy lineup. And it makes the network and Warner, which reaps hundreds of millions from the show in syndication, the potential go-betweens between Sheen and “Two and a Half Men” executive producer Chuck Lorre.

Charlie Sheen Rant Airs on 'The Early Show'

Charlie Sheen's rant on the Alex Jones radio show was aired, in part, on 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS). The now-infamous rant reportedly contributed to CBS' decision to shelve 'Two and a Half Men' for the remainder of the season.

In yesterday's radio interview, Sheen takes aim at the sitcom's co-creator, Chuck Lorre, referring to him by his Hebrew name and promising to "destroy" him in a rambling, but exceedingly colorful, way.

"I'm sorry, man. I've got magic and I've got poetry in my fingertips most of the time, and this includes naps, you know. I'm an F-18, bro, and I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordinance to the ground," said Sheen.

Sheen also claimed to have been "cured" of any addictions. "I have a disease? Bulls***. I cured it with my brain, with my mind. I'm cured. I'm done. The only thing I'm addicted to right now is winning," he said.

Whatever Sheen says, we can't help but wonder if this will lead to 'Two and a Half Men' being canceled. What do you think?

Charlie Sheen Rant

"Two and a Half Men" was canceled for the season on Thursday, and here's why: Charlie Sheen went on an extended rant on the Alex Jones Radio Show on Thursday, touting his mental curing abilities, ninja training, magic fingertips and, most consequentially, ripping "Two and a Half Men" creator Chuck Lorre -- whom he later challenged to an ultimate fighting match. It's a doozy.

A few select bytes. First, on Lorre:

    "I'm tired of being told 'You can't talk about that, you can't talk about that.' Bull S-H-I-T. There's something this side of deplorable that a certain Chaim Levine -- yeah, that's Chuck's real name -- mistook this rock star for his own selfish exit strategy, bro. Check it, Alex: I embarrassed him in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace that his unevolved mind cannot process. Last I checked, Chaim, I spent close to the last decade effortlessly and magically converting your tin cans into pure gold. And the gratitude I get is this charlatan chose not to do his job, which is to write. Clearly someone who believes he's above the law."

And on his newest addiction:

    "I have cleansed myself. I closed my eyes and in a nanosecond, I cured myself... It's the work of sissies. The only thing I'm addicted to is winning. This bootleg cult, arrogantly referred to as Alcoholics Anonymous, reports a 5 percent success rate. My success rate is 100 percent. Do the math ... another one of their mottoes is 'Don't be special, be one of us.' Newsflash: I am special, and I will never be one of you! I have a disease? Bulls**t! I cured it with my brain, with my mind. I cured it, I'm done ... you don't look like you're having a lot of fun. I'm gonna hang out with these two smoking hotties and fly privately around the world. It might be lonely up here but I sure like the view, Alex!"
