Charlie Sheen Now Writing His Memoirs

By Christine Fenno Posted Feb 26th 2011 08:18AM

Charlie Sheen moves fast. After engineering his own career meltdown with months of drug-and-prostitute-laced scandal -- then topping it all off this week with scathing public rants about his show's creator, Chuck Lorre, prompting CBS to cancel the remaining season of 'Two and a Half Men' -- Sheen is reportedly seeking a new, off-camera source of income.

Caribbean getaways and Plaza suites don't pay for themselves, people! (Neither do children.)

The actor, who recently claimed he kicked drugs at his employers' behest "in about an hour," is now writing a tell-all book about 'Two and a Half Men,' according to TMZ.

Details about life on set, and what led to the abrupt flameout of CBS' longtime hit and No. 1 sitcom cash cow, are expected to dominate the memoir.

'When the Laughter Stopped' is the title he's reportedly pitching, and TMZ says Sheen wants $10 million for the rights to publish his story. No doubt, the audiobook version could be a masterpiece.

The question is whether the suddenly verbose TV star can pull back on the foul-mouthed, wildly descriptive public tirades, and save any of his very colorful take on things for the book. Or will his potential readership feel they've heard enough?

Though he's now shared his low opinion of Lorre (EW.com explains how Sheen's borderline-offensive nickname of "Chaim Levine" was initially coined by Lorre himself, albeit not as a perjorative), as well as his unique rehab program ("I have a disease?" Sheen said during a radio interview this week. "Bulls--t. I cured it, with my mind."), he hasn't talked about fellow cast members much.

Well pretty soon, in his proposed book, the aspiring author allegedly intends to dish the dirt about co-stars. Jon Cryer, the one and only original Duckie: Maybe you'd better duck.

How can he remember enough to write a memoir? His brain is fried from booze and drugs.

Charlie.... you are so DONE. All of Hollywood, Producers, Studios (TV and Movie), and publishers have mandated you are to be blacklisted. You went too far when you disrupted all the lives of your cast and crew. You are no Downey Jr. You and Lohan are doomed because you have given The Industry a tool to make an example of.
I love reading this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via agelessc'upid.c'om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends..

I can't imagine anyone who'd want to read the rantings of a drunken, drug addled has-been. Don't go away mad Charlie, just go away.

By Mr. Leo

He is a fool to turn off the CBS money spigot. He had a few good movies 25 years ago. Only Robert Downey Jr. could return from these depths of loserville. Sheen doesn't have his talent.

By JOANNA

Well, for starters, he has blamed...CBS, WARNER BROS, HIS CO WORKERS, THE CREATOR, AA, HBO, AND HAS CALL ALL HIS FAN ...TURDS.

Does this druggie really think anyone with a brain is going to spend money on a book HE wrote (hires) in which he plans to go after and discredit his co-workers?

Peter pan will only put into writing what he has already said
on radio and all other forms of news.
"I am Mr wonderful and everyone is wrong except me".

Gosh, I can hardly wait for it to hit the stands.
Question: Who would want to publish it?

Sorry charlie...gotta throw you back.

Uh, May 5th...got really wasted, pounded a porn hoe. May 7th, got stoned, had a couple actresses over from Spooge Spashed Spluts for a party. Dude, where's my car?

By John

The crack head should write his memoirs now, he may be found hanging in some porn star's bathroom by his Johnson tomorrow.

By New York

Sadly, I was thinking the same thing. The forever in denial Actor better get started soon because the way he is going he may not be alive long enough to finish it.

By YellowRose3218

Who would want to buy this? We all already know how he has been living. Drugs, booze, and lots of dirty woman.
And four children left behind.

By rudewaitress

Sounds more like it will end up in the 'how to' section of the bookstore. As in How To Fcuk-up Your Life, Your Family, Your Career, and so on. Then again, I doubt many porn shops would HAVE a how-to section.

By Gandalf

Yep, in the how-to section of the bookstore, under "Drugs for Dummies"

By ptrcbonn3

He has more than the four kids. I know he at least has a grown child. He's a waste of space.

By leon

He sure is busy. I can see him sitting down with a cup of coffee and pen and paper and writing his own memoirs. He is getting this done inbetween all the other stuff that is going on in his life. The guy is amazing. When does he find time to sleep?

By wynn

It will be one page containing 7 words:

I got drunk, I snorted coke, I smoked crack!

The 'I' only counts once.

By robert

That entry will be on every page for every day, but what about the porn stars and the hookers?

Your forgetting in how "I got caught dealing and using drugs by the Feds. And also how the Feds caught him writing checks to Heidi Fleiss for prostitutes that he used to turned into being a "rat" a "snitch" to cut a deal with the Feds to avoid prison time many years ago. But then how "I" continue to deal and use drugs while drinking. How "I" continue to illegaly buy prostitutes bringing them home near my children, my family and my friends along with illegal drugs I bought and used. Along with how "I" continue to physically abuse, threathen and cause bodly harm to all my wives. And how "I" aslways managed to blame everyone else for my nonsense while at the sametime "I" supposabadly cured myself too. (Not!)

Dear charlie: cemeteries are full of people who thought the world could not get along without them.

By jld

Who cares, his life has been a open book ever since he could say...... where is the booze and coke ............what a waste.

By Ezeestreet

Who wants to read this crap? I just can't stand him.

By angela

Advice for Charlie. Call Deepak Chopra. Aren't you friends with Demi Moore? She could probably hook you up. Calm down a little and stop talking to the media.
