Is Charlie Sheen Ready to Return to Work? His Attorney Thinks So

It looks like 'Two and a Half Men' will be filming again even
sooner than we expected.
Charlie Sheen's attorney, Yale Galanter, told
E! Online that the actor will return to the 'Two and a Half Men' set before the end of the month. "We are thinking Charlie will be going back to work two weeks from today," he said on Monday.
The troubled 45-year-old is currently
seeing rehab specialists in his own home, rather than checking into a clinic as previously announced. "Charlie is fine healthwise and doing really well," his attorney said. "Things are looking good. Everybody's intentions are to get him back in the swing of things as soon as possible."
After being
hospitalized Jan. 27 for severe abdominal pains, Sheen claimed
he had a hernia.
Insiders and the tapes of the 911 call that sent Sheen to the hospital indicate, however, that the actor was finishing up a 36-hour bender which included a suitcase filled with
bricks of cocaine delivered to his home.
A close friend of the actor previously told
PopEater's Rob Shuter that
if 'Two and a Half Men's' ratings soared following the actor's hospitalization, Sheen would be back to work in no time to collect a substantial bonus to
his $1.25 million per episode salary. "If ratings go through the roof again, as they did after Charlie's incident in New York, CBS and Charlie will be out again in no time and back to his old ways," the source said. "However, if the public finally stops rewarding Charlie for his bad behavior, then, and only then, can you expect him to take the situation seriously."
Last week Sheen released a
sobering statement admitting he had "a lot of work to do" and graciously thanked his fans, family, friends and CBS execs. But
RadarOnline.com reportedly got a very different statement from Sheen himself via text message. "I'm fine," he wrote. "People don't seem to get it... Guy can't have a great time and do his job also? Bunch of turds."
Though CBS might want Sheen back to work so they don't lose huge amounts of money in lost advertising, network execs were reportedly looking for a reason to
force him into rehab. Although as one insider said, "Charlie has been partying pretty hard, but he's showed up and does his job. Everyone likes him. He's professional."
The show must go on, that's for sure. Let's just hope it doesn't cost Sheen his sobriety.

"Let's just hope it doesn't cost Sheen his sobriety." How about we hope it doesn't cost him his life! Because that is what is going to happen. Therapy at home isn't going to work. Sheen needs to be in a rehab facility for a very long time. I don't believe the statement taht CBS wanted to force him into rehab. Why would they want that? They would lose a ton of money. I don't think they really care about his welfare. It is all about the money. Same goes for Charlie. He doesn't want rehab. He wants the money so he can continue down his destructive path. I feel sorry for his kids. He isn't going to be around to see them grow up. Unfortunately his kids are probably going to need a lot of therapy once they are old enough to understand all that he has done.
the life of a celebrity....do what you want when you want with no consquences. Well, until it takes your life. How sad!

Charlie is selfish, his ego is huge, and hes not getting any younger. To rehab at home is a joke, it will not work.
The fact Charlie has four kids, should be enough to get Charlie straight. Drugs make people selfish, and charlie is already selfish as anyone can get. Him getting a raise back a few months ago for bad behavior, sent the wrong message to him. Now he thinks he can do what ever he wants, with no consquences.
I dont see anything good happening to Charlie for a long time. When a drug user has so much money, bad things are bound to happen.
I hope I am wrong, for his familys sake.
