Charlie Hatches Plan to Ruin Ashton's 'Men' Debut

By Rob Shuter Posted Jul 7th 2011 08:51AM

Charlie Sheen has lost every lawsuit against his ex-bosses at 'Two and a Half Men,' but now he has another play to harm the show that kicked him to the curb.

"Charlie's upcoming roast on Comedy Central is set to go head to head against Ashton's debut episode of 'Two and a Half Men' on September 19," a Comedy Central source tells me. "If you think this is a coincidence then you are nuts."

There will be plenty of material to go on at the roast, considering Charlie's bizarre behavior that led to him being fired, and insiders tell me nothing is off-limits.

"This is Charlie getting the last laugh. He doesn't care what they say about him at the roast as long as the show kills CBS in the ratings," a friend of the actor's tells me. "Charlie has a thick skin and can laugh at himself but if you hurt him, like he thinks Chuck Lorre did, then he doesn't forget."

While nothing will be off limits in the Sheen-ripping department, one of his exes -- Brooke Mueller -- has warned of a lawsuit if she's the butt of any jokes. "He better not go there," Brooke's rep told TMZ.

The eyebrow-raising timing of the special was first reported by the Hollywood Reporter. A Comedy Central rep claimed it was merely due to the fact the channel didn't have anything else planned.

"It's definitely fortuitous timing for us," a rep for the cable channel told THR. "Everything aligned. We were dark with 'Daily Show' and Colbert, and yes, you have the premiere of 'Two and a Half Men.'"

What is his problem? Does he reeally think he's the only guy who acts who "deserves' a role on a show he has personal problems with? In any work environment, you don't try to take down/sabotage the person who has been hired to do what you are evidently no longer needed to do. What a sad sack of ish this man is. Kutcher never did anything to him.

hasn't idiot sheen heard of a DVR box or the late night replay or next day repeat? everybody should watch MEN when it's on for the ratings and the stupid roast later or next day, (if you are really in need of seeing it) I'm sure the roast will be kinda sad anyway, they are not that funny anymore...

By Emmett

exactly what I was thinking...and the writer of this meaningless article hasn't heard of it either, I guess...

By NAUGHTY BUT NICE ROB

THIS ISNT RIGHT...OF ALL THE DAYS TO AIR SHOW...REALLY

By Den

Charlie does not have to do anything to ruin the ratings of 2 1/2 men with ashton starring in the show, ashton will kill the ratings all by himself.

By ZippityEh

Charlie WHO????? What a waste he is.... Gotta play school boy vengeance tactics? GROW UP and GROW A PAIR!!! Time to stop whining and look in the mirror. YOU created all this negativity around yourself, all by yourself. Nobody cares about you any more. LOSER....

By sue

charlie has not grown a pair, he lost em'. charlotte has grown his claws out. he should ask if he can join the housewives of la or the bad girls club.

By TemperBoa

way to hold onto the 'terrible two' stage sheen. If you honestly think your 'roast' will upstage Kutcher's debut you really are dillisional! What an absolute moron!!!!!

Some people dont know, that Charlie is miserable with his own life. Drug abuse will do it every time, when done long enough.
He wants to ruin everything, for everyone, its typical drug abuse.
I hope for Charlie's family, he gets better as soon as possible.
Hes living a night mare, and may not even realize it until later. Like all people that live this way, everyone leaves them behind, sooner or later.

It's because of people like Charlie Sheen that the television was nick-named "the BOOB tube".

By Amanda

I will definitely be watching the roast because I have enjoyed the many episodes of CS being excellent. As Chris Rock said on the Oprah show, CS couldn't have lasted this long if he was not a good actor. His private life has nothing to do with me but I do think that is unfair that Chuck Lorre did him in & so I am staying with CS & even going out to buy some of his CDs. To many more years of successful acting ... Charlie. Your fan .... Amanda

I have always liked watching two and a half men and more than likely will continue to because of the supporting staff. Charlie was funny in the show.. but so was the other actors. AND for Charlie to try on purpose to distroy THEIR livelyhood of acting on the show, shows us how immature/sick he truly is. He acted the way he did off camera for years and got by with it. MAYBE that was the problem. He was not held responsible for his actions to keep the show running from day one. I feel for those around him, ex wives, children, parents and again.. supporting staff on the two and a half men show. Charlie you are showing us your true colors now. GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE AND STOP YOUR CHILDISH WAYS. You have more money than you know what to do with.

I've never watched 2.5 men. Why start now?
Charlie needs some help. I hope he gets it.
You all like to kick a man when he's down. Go figure.

We would never have heard of Charlie had his father not been Martin Sheen. Nepotism begins at home.

By sunshine

I will be watching Two and a half Men that night. I like Charlie Sheen so I will watch the roast when it re-runs 100 times...LOL

By fflgopher
