In an interview with NBC’s Jeff Rossen that aired on TODAY Monday morning, Charlie Sheen, the combative star of long-running hit “Two and a Half Men,” demanded a raise from approximately $2 million to $3 million per episode to come back to the set of the show. CBS and Warner Bros. Television have currently halted production for the show’s ninth season in the wake of Sheen’s very public rants against “Men” creator Chuck Lorre and Alcoholics Anonymous.
“I’m not angry, I’m passionate,” Sheen told Rossen. “It’s everybody thinks I should be begging for my job back, and I’m just going to forewarn them that it’s everybody else that’s going to be begging me for their job back.”
Though he claimed he has been swamped with offers for movies, Sheen said: “I am a man of my word, so I will finish the TV show. I’ll even do season 10, but at this point, [because of] psychological distress, oh, my God, it’s 3 mil an episode.”

Charlie... is that you?
If you are going to be vulgar, at least man up and make it in the form of a declaration or an exclamation and not as a question.
When you stop being such a jerk, I’ll stop removing your responses. Oh, and profanity is not allowed here, either.
A man who knows his priorities and limits like yours will arrive one day where we all will end up. But you will have more fun getting there!
To paraphrase Dudley Moore in the movie “Arthur”, when giving his dying Valet great food, “I don’t want his/my last meal to be JELLO!”..

Used to be that the rude posters were few and well identified - usually getting them banned eventually. But now almost every thread seems to attract folks who have forgotten their manners. Even a thread like this which has no consequences for any one other than those directly connected with the show.
I do not envy the Mods. their job.
Some people have a hair trigger - I admit I got baited and reacted badly too. I appreciate your comment.
Thanks, we're down to our last bottle of Tattingers and tin of caviar, but we'll muddle through.
Sidebars always start out with such highbrow tastes. We’ll have you down to Meisterbrau and Slim Jims in no time.
Do you heat your slim jims with a lighter like Wendy Williams does on her show?
But the recruitment brochure said....
You should have demanded collective bargaining.
LOL.
Hat tip to the Lady.
We hired an infomercial firm for that one.
C'mon, we're more sophisticated than that. 20 seconds in the microwave does the trick nicely.
Classier, too.....and you get that great warmed grease smell ;^)
I have never attacked anyone first on this site. Only when the misinformed lie and take to name calling do I respond in kind. If you want to pretend they’re the poor poor victims then you haven’t been paying attention.
