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.'"

When you look at Charlie Sheen, he looks so mean, doesn't he? And frankly, he always has to me even in old pictures. He just is not a happy man. It sure shows up in pictures. The man needs alot of help.

Does anyone else think Ashton Kutcher is the worst ever choice for replacing Charlie Sheen. UGH. Not a good idea at all, total twit. Get some guy with some edge to him. Ashton Kutcher, UGH again.

Charlie...do us all a favor and Overdose and go away forever. Your life is a sad example of those morons who want to legalize drugs

Charlie Sheen is a has-been. He looks old, bitter, and dried up. His behavior may be part of a late-life crisis. I wouldn't waste my time watching him being roasted, but also didn't watch 2.5 Men. Maybe I'll give it another try with Ashton on it.

I loved 2 1/2 Men for so long and still like the show. Charlie did it to himself and I have lost all respect for him I hope Ashton can pull it off. He is a much loved actor, but it will be different. Wonder is the rest of the clan will still be there..

I will watch Two and Half Men before I watch Charlie Sheen be roasted. We have all been roasting him for months for being an idiot. Hey Charlie....you are LOSING!!!!
