Did Charlie Sheen Invite Chuck Lorre On Stage to Kiss and Make Up?
Charlie Sheen brought his 'Torpedo of Truth' tour to New York City, headlining Radio City Music Hall on Friday. The warlock continued his trend of wearing the sports gear of each town he visits, this time donning a Yankees shirt and cap. Despite the cloying costume,
EW.com reports that it took less than 20 minutes for the crowd to turn on him and his rambling, "sit-down comedy" storytelling format.
So are hecklers and harsh reviews finally humbling Sheen? Not very long ago, he was
slamming 'Two and a Half Men' and co-creator Chuck Lorre so severely that CBS (who'd long ignored Sheen's string of drug and violence scandals)
yanked the hit sitcom and
fired the ungrateful star. Now, committed to a grinding schedule of live tour stops across the U.S., Sheen may be having a delayed reaction to the mess he's made of his career: contrition.
"Of course I want my job back, man!" he told the Radio City crowd, adding "You guys want me to have my job back, right?...So you guys can keep enjoying the greatest sitcom ever, right?" According to the
Hollywood Reporter, he even invited Chuck Lorre to join him onstage to talk things out. Sheen, you may recall,
filed suit against Lorre in March for $100 million.
However, the 'Two and Half Men' team that Sheen so violently torpedoed away from this year is moving on.
In fact, on the very night Sheen was being jeered at Radio City,
Jon Cryer also
took the stage in Manhattan, along with a star-studded cast -- including Patti LuPone,
Neil Patrick Harris, Christina Hendricks and
Stephen Colbert -- for a one-weekend-only (heckler-free) performance of the musical
'Company' at Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center.
"The show is strictly a limited run, but Jon is happy to be back at work, and looking forward to moving on with his life," an insider tells
PopEater's Rob Shuter. "You don't get better than the New York Philharmonic and [composer] Stephen Sondheim."
Alec Baldwin seems to agree. The '30 Rock' star, who recently published an
open letter urging Sheen to clean up his act, was
spotted at Lincoln Center (rubbing elbows with Woody Allen and John Lithgow) applauding Cryer and his 'Company' castmates on their opening night.

I had the misfortune of attending last nights show. It was the worst thing I have ever seen in my life bar none! That loser better get on his hands and knees to Chuck for his job back. When the dough is gone, so are the goddesses! It would be funny for him to run back to daddy for money to keep his lifestyle going though!

Just curious: Did you buy the tickets or were they handing them out in the street? Because I have a hard time believing anyone would pay to see this washed up junkie do anything.
Charlie isn't playing with a full deck...

The Charlie Show is getting old and stale, and Good Time Charlie must be getting desperate. His Torpedo Show blows, his money is dwindling, and pretty soon the goddesses will be following another money trail. Then what: no job, no money, no more pride and shoveling s*it into the tide.

Sheen is so done. He cant see that, though. Guess we dont see ourselves, as others see us. None of this will end well. It sure is getting old....

In light of these smashing reviews of his show you have to be an idiot to purchase a ticket for this venue! You might as well just send your money to the U.S government. They are very good at spending money on foolish things as well!

As much as I liked the show and Charlie Sheen's performance, I applaud Chuck Lorre for taking a stand. You can only take mud thrown in your face for so long before you fight back! As for Charlie...he hasn't hung up his "crack pipe" yet regardless of what he tells you! You can see it in his face, mannerisms and lifestyle! As for the "clean" drug test? Follow me down to Alvarado Street in Los Angeles and I'll show you how to buy anything you want on the "black market"!

Dear Charlie,
NO I don't want 2 1/2men back on tv with you in it, the last few years sucked big time. It was boring and all the characters were annoyingly stupid.
Move on dude, we alllll did.
Not your fan, never your goddess.YOU FOOL.

Hopefully they won't cave to his request. He is a loser, maybe he is broke and not such a winner as he thought.

Chuck Lorre and Charlie Sheen need each other, for better or worse. The only thing that the gods of TV worship is money and more money. If it is not too late, everyone should shake hands and get on with the show, 2&1/2 Men, although the personal relationships can never be the same. To many bitter words and to many egos have been bruised almost beyong repair.

Clearly Charlie Sheen's acting and entertainment career is over. Some advice Charlie...Take what little money you have left and create your own private label of vodka. Call it "Warlock". i'm sure college kids would make you rich.
