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.'"

im going to watch the raost and record two and a half.

By chrissy

two and a half men was only funny with charlie sheen he may be a jerk but he made the show... the other characters were just there mainly for show... so yea that shows pretty much tanked out ashton cant act for crap

By BigNana

2 1/2 used to be one of my favorites, I never cared about Ashton when he was on That 70's Show, I have always thought his acting sucked Big Time, and I am with you on the "Married his Mother" ditty, Pansy Boy Jon Cryer could not carry "Men" on his own, Bruce and Demi's daughter is a better actor than Ashton ever thought he was, the only reason he stays in the spotlight is that he is Demi's little boy, you know how those Mama's Boys are. So sad that things had to turn out like this, will have to try to find something else to watch.

By vicki

Even if they aired at the same time, i'd be watching taahm and dvr'ing the roast. yet another of sheen's plans backfires. so pathetic.

By kutcherisabust

Ashton certainly will not make the show a continued success. He IS NOT funny, boring and acts rather childish. The show is doomed, especially with him. Thank God let it get taken off the air with minimal episodes......

Well since I do not condone any of his actions why would I help sponsor him in sabotaging the people who had a right to say sorry Charlie but enough is enough. So I am going to watch 2and1/2 men. All I can say is the same as sunkist: Sorry Charlie but only the very best can be on my screen... (Okay so I tweeked it a little, Sue me and can you say Winner?)

By jonnie

ever hear of Tivo?

By dave

Why do some of my posts from time to time disappear? Sheen is done, 'Men' will survive. All that is left is if he gets hospitalized with another overdose or does himself in.

By SUE

Charlie go away, Beck went away, Palin has gone away. Please Just GO AWAY.

By Terry

Charlie Boy....face facts. You messed up. Move on. You may still be able to get parts playing a crack or heroin addict--or maybe somebody's grandpa. Drugs and alcohol and hard living have taken their toll. Get straight, humble up, and try to live out the rest of your already shortened life and career with dignity.

Charlie Sheen WHO?

By lostlawoman

has Charlie ever heard of this thing called a DVR? one doesnt have to miss either show if one doesnt want to.

By Sara

Charlie makes me laugh....it's a healthy thing to do,...try it sometime...I sure love all the Sheen's especially Charlie, what was CBS thinking? I'll just keep on watching his reruns...So sorry Charlie, I loved you" and your work...you have talent, Kucher can't say he does.."WINNING" my Charlie, God Bless you always!

By SkyBlue

his plan should work, right? After all he's good at ruining things. That's called winning, huh, Charlie?

By INK

Will Ashton gonna have to report his show jog's with his mammy first, that he is married too, or gonna played Man, and then apologize to mammy?

By LST

Idiot obviously is incapable of learning his lesson, the drugs have fried his little pea brain. Its called "dope" for a very good reason. I won't be watching, I'd prefer to sit out front and watch a puddle evaporate.

By kelly

Charlie is so ugly...

By Margie

AND JUST WHAT MAKES SHEEN THINK WE ARE GOING TO WATCH HIS NUTSO SHOW? IF YOU ENABLE HIM HE WILL THRIVE.
WHAT A HAS BEEN.

By Tom

OMG - 2 shows I want to watch on at the same time.
What to do?
Too bad technology doesn't have an answer for that.

Glad I have that DVR whatchamacallit

By Nancy

Sheen is pathetic -- I'll watch "Men", I won't WASTE MY TIME watching the roast!
