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.

Mel Gibson does not play dumb about 9/11 either.

I never did care for charlie, even back in the 80s when all the ladies thought he was so handsome,, I didnt think so.
Charlie has been handed everything, on a silver platter all of his life, thats whats wrong with him. Marin Sheen, his father helped him and his brother, get into the acting gig. I know because Marin said so years ago, he said 'why should my boys struggle when they dont have to.' Robert Blake said, he wouldnt ever do when Martin did, Robert said, 'if his sons wanted in the business they should work hard to get it their selves,' he said no one helped him. Tough words, tough father to have. I can see both of their sides, and I understand. I would have helped my sons to a point too.
Charlie would have been better off, working in another profession it seems. His brother Emilio had all the same attention, the same things given to him, and not one bad word about him through all of these years. Being spoiled so badly effected Charlie, and not Emilio. If Charlie had to wonder a few times, how he was going to pay his house note, or pay his car insurance, he might be a little more gratefull of what all he has had, and how tough it was to get. This is a fine example of spoiling a child, this is what happens in the long run.
Martin did his job well, its not his fault, there was no ay he could have known Charlie would grown up to be an ungratefull drug using, woman beating, drunken mess.
Its the family I feel bad for, their the ones worried to death over good time Charlie. My heart goes out to Martin, and the rest of the family. Mostly the kids, of Charlie's, their the ones that will end up paying for his selfish ways.
Where will Charlie be when those kids need him for help?
He will either be too sick, or his brain will be melted by then.
Notice how he has not been arrested, he is filthy rich, thats why. My prayers are with the family, I hope Charlie gets better, the family has been through enough because of him already.

I've always like Charlie Sheen (as I know him through the screen and now internet news,) and suspect I always will.
I think Mr. Sheen is a special man.
Thank you Charlie for being brave!
And good luck!
