Charlie Sheen to Earn Nearly $2 Million Per Episode

By PopEater Staff Posted May 18th 2010 10:00AM

Charlie Sheen will not only be staying on for two more seasons of 'Two and a Half Men,' the actor is getting a huge pay raise to the tune of nearly $2 million per episode, according to reports.

The deal, between Sheen's reps and Warner Bros. TV, was sealed Monday night and bumps his salary for the CBS comedy from $850,000 to between $1.8 - $1.9 million each episode, Variety is reporting.

He was already the highest paid actor in primetime, but now he'll be getting about what Ray Romano received for the final season of 'Everybody Loves Raymond,' also a CBS show.

Sheen confirmed he was returning to the hit show in an earlier statement. "To put a fitting end on the two-and-one-half months of whirlwind speculation, I'm looking forward to returning to my CBS home on Monday nights," he said.

The actor had been hinting for months that he was going to leave the show, but the salary news hints heavily that he was just merely jockeying for a pay bump, despite his legal woes.

Meanwhile, the TV star is still facing felony menacing and misdemeanor assault charges, after allegedly attacking his wife, Brooke Mueller, on Christmas. Sheen hopes to make a deal in court.

Charlie needs a new woman in his life. Noone better than Alyssa Milano to be Charlie's next love interest or should we say bedroom babe.

By Sheila Robertson

sorry I mean 716 a month!

DISCUSTING ... GETTING A RAISE FOR BATTERING YOUR WIFE..... I SAY BOYCOTT CBS AND WARNER BROTHERS TV PRODUCTS AND THE ADVERTISERS THAT RUN ADS WITH THEM.....IT'S TIME TO SHOW THESE OUT OF CONTROL POWERHOUSES THAT THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY FOR BAD BEHAVIOR

By skn

Charlie Sheen has no talent, the show is one big joke gone bad and TV executives don't have a clue as to what morals are about.
That's why this country is in big trouble.

now we know why they can't pay the NCIS crew what they're worth--you know, the people in the hour long show that has actual acting and plot--they want to keep this piece of stupidity. (Sheen or the show take your choice)

I feel sorry for his family,especially his father.

By wpbdenise

I use to enjoy the show but with Rose no longer on or the psychiatrist, just don't find the show as funny as it use to be. Time to move on.

By Who Dat

I agree Brooke new what she was getting into when she married Charlie.The first clue should have been his last wife having been going thorugh a divorce while she was carrying their last child.She was enjoying the life of partying and drinking now the fun is over move on,Don't expect too much and you won't be dissapointed.Love the show Charlie!!!

Hi everyone...It's me, Butterfly. You know, this CreepaRoo is no Captain Kangaroo...he's as crappy a donkey dung pile! I'm just sorry that the network t.v executives gave into his demands. This snotty, spoiled, selfish piece of trash is a turd that-needs-a-flushin'! Lets face it, Hon, he wouldn't be anything more than a Below Average Joe if his Daddy wasn't in show business. This Sheeny Shmuck needs to be put in a Sling-Shot and catipulted to the moon!...Butterfly...a.k.a...the Butter

Ain't it just grand that a guy like Charlie Sheen makes this kind of money while so many American elders and children lack health care and go to bed hungry each night?

America may be a democracy, but we've gotten our priorities all mixed up. It's a crime in and of itself.

By 4Qand4Q2

Im sure the rest of the cast will feel resentment that he is making more then they are and this probably will be the end of the show unless Charlie can do it on his own THATS HOLLYWOOD

By gordie2324

Sheen, Romano, or likes - 2 mil for half an hour of idiotic work while the rest of the country is trying to make ends meet and facing foreclosures. Only in America. At least Sheen and Romano are funny.

By Drake Dans

I agree with, Butterfly. Who needs this clown? Why do we spoil these people and worship them. The moon is too close though, Butterfly...pluto is better. Drake

By nancy

By Shell

YOU SAD BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THEM

By marge mirro

I guess this is the world we live in today. People have no morals, no courtesy. Do bad behavior and it seems you're rewarded whether in Hollywood, Politics, or Sports. Bad behavior seems to be the norm in today's world. Whatever happened to taking responsibility for bad behavior? I refuse to watch this program. What example are you showing the youth generation of today and tomorrow? NOT MUCH!!!!

By brooks

beat em when they need, it there is no excuse for a misbehaving spouse!
