Charlie Sheen Voluntarily Enters Rehab; 'Two and a Half Men' on Hiatus

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 28th 2011 06:11PM

After spending Thursday hospitalized for a reported hernia, Charlie Sheen left Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Now, Radaronline.com reports that the 45-year-old has checked himself into rehab.

"Charlie Sheen has voluntarily entered an undisclosed rehabilitation center today," his rep Stan Rosenfeld said. "He is most grateful to all who have expressed their concern."

'Two and a Half Men' was rescheduled to resume filming next week, but CBS has now announced the show is being placed "on production hiatus. We are profoundly concerned for (Sheen's) well-being, and support his decision."

Sheen was taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai yesterday morning, following several calls to 911, including two from 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Adrienne Maloof-Nassif and her husband.

According to TMZ, the actor was having severe abdominal pains -- the result of a hiatal hernia -- and did not suffer a drug overdose as many believed.

See PopEater editors sound off on Charlie's latest fiasco:

The star was reportedly smoking cocaine with several women leading up to his hospitalization.

A TMZ report also alleges that prior to the actor's hospitalization, a person showed up to Sheen's home with a designer "briefcase full of cocaine." Sheen allegedly began doing the drug for several hours. At the time, his rep said, "I can't comment because I have no idea if it's true. You choose to believe your source, I don't."

Sheen was previously hospitalized in October 2010 at the tail-end of a night with adult film star Capri Anderson. Authorities found Sheen drunk and naked, having badly damaged his surroundings at the Plaza Hotel in a fit of rage.

They'd better tie up loose ends & finalize his show.The way he's going, he won't live long. Why don't people believe they can die from such abuse?

let me be the first to say, if you were not guilty of using drugs, please forgive us. So many people seem to care, either by insults or get well wishes. dont throw it all away. Give the people who love you as family or actor, the peace of mind they deserve.

this rehab stay will make Lindsey Lohan's look like a roaring success

By britfan

Did you people NOT read the story right? His spokesman said he'd be back Tuesday BEFORE Charlie checked himself into REHAB. Therefore he will NOT be back to work. If it was only a hernia then why did Charlie all of a sudden check himself into rehab. I think something else went down. Hopefully Charlie stays in rehab for a while.

CBS needs to cut him loose. As long as the network enables him he won't get better. I don't watch the show because of Charlie Sheen. I don't and won't condone his conduct.

By Mother Superior

So that is what they call a drug overdose these days. No one is buying it and you don't need REHAB for a hernia. He is a sick person and I don't expect him to live the rest of the year

And if word got out that someone showed up at my house with a briefcase full of bricks of cocaine I'd have every law enforcement person in the county at my house. Why not the same thing for a celebrity?

The headline now has changed, and Charlie is in rehab, thank goodness. Martin Sheen had something to do with this I bet.
When Martin speaks, I bet his sons listen.
I will toss up a prayer tonight for Charlie's family.
I hope he does much better.

Charlie when you get out I'll buy ya a beer and shot of Sambuca... But you gotta pay for your drugs and hookers!!

By Cammer

Hernia and no operation?...hmmm...what about the bust for the briefcase full of tootskis??...hmmm...am I missing something here??

By tmc

Why doesn't he get arrested???

By yeppers

Charlie voluntarily enters rehab? I don't think so. Someone found a way to threaten the fool that scared him enough to get him to go! First time we've seen Father Martin and then.... Oh Charlie voluntarily goes to rehab?

By Barbara

Why do the celebs all go to "rehab." Whatever happened to will power?

By Karen

Charlie who? You mean he's still alive? Darn.

By Davee Grande

Two and a Half Men is my favorite show after Big Bang Theory. The writers should write around Charlie. I would watch it if Alan, Jake, Bertha and grandma were the ones carrying the story lines. The plots are endless.

By bob

GROW UP CHARLIE.....While there is still time.

Charlie....my husband and I LOVE "Two and a Half Men". You are in our thoughts and prayers. Get better and keep us laughing!!!

Heard tonight Charlie has entered Rehab on his own. I pray it works for Him this time. He has to want to do it for himself or it will not work. Glad his Dad and Exwife, Denise are there for Him.If it happens again, it may be too late for Charlie."Good Luck" to Him with his recovery....
