Report: Sheen in talks to get back on ‘Two and a Half Men?’
If a report out of RadarOnline is to be believed, Charlie Sheen is in talks with the network to get his job back as one of the titular two men in the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men.
No plans for the show’s future without Sheen have been disclosed since his epic flameout from the sitcom amid drug and personal problems. Sheen spent a large part of his media blitz of late attacking the show’s creator Chuck Lorre, and was publicly chastised in his pink slip for the outrageous behavior.
The entertainment site RadarOnline cites an unnamed “insider” as a source, dishing about plans to get Sheen back in the saddle despite the very public tensions:
“[CBS CEO Les] Moonves wants to get the show back on the air. He’s all for it,” the insider adds. “He says certain people need to forget anything and everything Charlie’s done recently and just move on with the business at hand.
“The core issue is, as he put it, the volatile relationship between Charlie Sheen and Chuck Lorre. He believes that if CBS and Warner Bros. TV honchos can find a way to get Chuck and Charlie to speak again, cooler heads will prevail.”
Since his firing last month, Sheen has gone on to book a twenty-show tour and set a world record for his rapidly-growing Twitter following.
