Charlie Sheen Rants -- 'Two and a Half Men' Production is Discontinued

From "Charlie Sheen slams 'Two and a Half Men' creator in multiple rants," by James Hibberd of "Inside TV:"

Charlie Sheen ripped Two and a Half Men co-creator Chuck Lorre — as well as Alcoholics Anonymous and women he parties with — in a stunning live radio rant Thursday, and then followed up a few hours later with a reported second rant to TMZ directed at Lorre specifically. ...

... Calling into the Alex Jones Show radio program, according to TMZ, Sheen called the executive producer of his hit TV show a “clown” ...

... Seemingly referring to women he parties with, Sheen says, “If I bring up these turds, these… losers, there’s no reason to then bring them back into the fold because I have real fame, they have nothing. They have zero. They have that night. And I will forget about them as the last image of them exits my beautiful home. And they will get out there and they will sell me and they will lose. Bring me a frickin’ challenge. It just ain’t there.” ...

... Regarding AA, Sheen called the organization a “bootleg cult” with a five percent success rate. ... "This bootleg cult arrogantly referred to as AA now supports a 5 percent success rate. My success rate is 100 percent. Do the math! One of their stupid mottos is ‘Don’t be special, be one of us.’ News flash: I am special and I will never be one of you. ‘Oh, we have to all sit in here and touch ourselves and frown.’ Well, you don’t look like you’re having a lot of fun. I’m going to hang out with these two smokin’ hotties and fly privately around the world. It might be lonely up here but I sure like the view.”

“I’m so tired of pretending like my life isn’t perfect and bitchin’ and just winning every second,” he continued. “I’m not perfect, and bitching and just delivering the goods at every f—ing turn. Because look what I’m dealing with, man — I’m dealing with fools and trolls. I’m dealing with soft targets.”

Inside TV's article has been updated with a link to an announcement by CBS and Warner Bros. Television. They are discontinuing production of the show for the rest of the season. The show had been scheduled to resume production on Monday, with Sheen back on the set Tuesday.

This post's photo is taken from The Los Angeles Times' Show Tracker column, "'Two and a Half Men' faces uncertain future after CBS shuts down season in wake of Charlie Sheen outburst," which adds: 'In a letter to TMZ issued after the network decision had been made, Sheen wrote of Lorre: “Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words -- imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists.”'

Radio lives. It's a quality rant, no? Much better than anything you can find on internet forums. Check-out the vocabulary: "Unevolved minds," "bootleg cults," "fools and trolls; soft targets," "Vatican assassin warlocks," and "fire breathing fists." Have you ever wanted to defeat an earthworm? Would words do that? Whether Charlie Sheen is embarrassed by his rant remains to be seen; however, he will certainly regret it, if only because its result will be a loss of income, now that production of the show has stopped.

You can hear Sheen ranting at the TMZ link, "according to TMZ," above.
