Not sure if this was posted somewhere on here but this is great stuff. He needs his own reality show.

Haha he quoted Allen Iverson. Ironic it was about that time that Iverson's career began tanking after he made that statement.

His own reality show...I love it! Not going to say it will be the only work he can still get, but the image rehabilitation going on is a bit interesting. I mean, at this point, we pretty much know who Charlie Sheen is and that only death will change him.

The sad part is that he's in complete denial about his addiction problems. A few weeks ago he said he didn't have a problem and that he was never drunk on the set (being extremely hung over is apparently perfectly acceptable, however). Think he even said something along the lines of having tried sobriety and it's not for him.

He's a functional alcoholic, even if he sobers up long enough to do his job. Clearly he can't see the problems, which have been extensive over the years. This latest stint is, IMO, nothing more than an attempt for CBS to put lipstick on a pig to rebuild enough image and recover enough PR to milk this show for another season or two.

After watching that sensational video I hope he calls his dealer as soon as he gets home.

I think he said he was sober for eight years, and was totally bored.

It's stupid. I'd like people like this to quit getting headlines, acclaim, and notoriety.

I wouldn't mind not hearing about him, Lohan, Jersey Shore, and whomever else is similar to these people ever again.

Indeed. I think if I had the choice of partying with any person from history it would be Carlos Estevez.

"Headed to Will and Graceville"

That was truly awesome, and to an extent he has a point. The ratings werent going down, and if Sheen is speaking the truth about not missing work and not being "altered" at work, than CBS should really only make suggestions about how he lives his life.

Gotta love that if they want him back and head to a season 10 Sheen is demanding 3 million an episode!

They'll never pay him that, I don't think. At some point you wonder how much money the show makes, although Friends and Seinfeld both paid their regulars $1M an episode at the end, so that's $4-$6M per (several years ago), plus the role players.

They should play off all this and have an episode or two where Charlie Harper meets and parties with Charlie Sheen (played by Emilio Estevez!).

He currently gets 2 million. I think for the last couple seasons. If Season 8 is truly the highest rated to date, paying him 3 million is better than no seasons.

Wow, words cannot do that piece justice. And we get treated to more tomorrow?!? It's almost impossible to describe the fruitcake narcissism rampant in that interview.

There's the most priceless look @ 10:00 where Sheen is asked how he convinces people to hire him again and he has just the most incredulous look on his face.

I don't think there's anything possibly he could say about Two and Half Men that would either be (i) interesting or (2) shocking.

What would be more interesting is how such a vapid show would still be on the air after so many years and shocking why people watch it.

Good point. Perhaps it's the kissing the feet that will be the deal breaker.
