Charlie Sheen may think he’s “winning,” but one thing he didn’t win was an invite to his sons Max and Bob’s birthday bash at Paris Hilton’s parents’ Bel Air estate.
In a piece for the Huffington Post, Baldwin, who was bounced from The Hunt for Red October sequels for another star, tells Sheen pointblank, “You can’t win. Really. You can’t… No actor is greater than the show itself when the show is a hit.”
He explains that TV execs will win this fight because Sheen’s “a drug-addled, porn star-squiring, near-Joycean Internet ranter, and they really want you to go.”
Baldwin feels Sheen might be able to get his job back, but in order to do so, the “30 Rock” star suggests, “Take a nap. Get a shower. Call Chuck [Lorre]. Go on Letterman and make an apology. Write a huge check to the B’Nai Brith. And then beg for your job back.”
“Sober up, Charlie. And get back on TV, if it’s not too late,” says Baldwin.
Adds the actor, “P.S…. buy [Jon] Cryer a really nice car.”
“I’m sending my thoughts and prayers and love to those in Japan who are hurting,” Swifttweeted.
Bieber wrote, “Japan is one of my favorite places on earth…it’s an incredible culture with amazing people. My prayers go out to them. We all need to help.”
Kardashian tweeted, “My prayers are with everyone in Japan!”
Hilton expressed her shock at the devastation, writing, “The images on the news are breaking my heart. I am so worried for everyone in Japan. My thoughts are with you Japan. God bless you all.”
And Milano urged her followers to help out, asking them to donate to the Red Cross.
Even Sheen took a break from his personal media campaign to think of the victims, writing, “Curveball; Warlock edict; pain & devastation in Japan demands us all to dig deep & LOVE THEM VIOLENTLY Dogspeed my cadres of the Far East! c”

Weitzman said in a statement: “The allegations in the complaint against Mr. Lorre are as recklessly false and unwarranted as Mr. Sheen’s rantings in the media… The accusations are simply imaginary. This lawsuit is about a fantasy ‘lottery’ pay-day for Charlie Sheen.”
Weitzman added, “Chuck Lorre’s concern has been and continues to be about Mr. Sheen’s health.”
In legal papers filed today by Sheen’s attorney, Marty Singer, it’s alleged Lorre “believes himself to be so wealthy and powerful that he can unilaterally decide to take money away from the dedicated cast and crew… in order to serve his own ego and self-interest, and make the star of the series the scapegoat for Lorre’s own conduct.”
Charlie Sheen hosts the “Winning Recipes” cooking show in a new video for Funny or Diet hat’s only 15% crazier than his real life.
As warlock of his kitchen, Sheen shows viewers how he uses tiger blood, jaguar tears, ground dinosaur fossils and other Vatican assassin ingredients to create the perfect meal.
Charlie Sheen broke his one minute of silence to call into Los Angeles radio station K-Earth 101 this morning. He chatted about his former “Two and a Half Men” co-stars,Jon Cryerand Angus T. Jones, as well as to discuss Rob Lowe, who is in talks to replaceon the hit CBS show.
Sheen also spoke about traveling “soon” to Haiti withSean Penn and Scarlett Johansson, who he said he hopes “live forever together,” and how he’d like to “jump in the ring” with addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky.
After calling Cryer a “troll” yesterday,” Sheen today he was sorry for calling him a name and offered “a half apology – it’s an apol!”
He wouldn’t fully divulge what he spoke to “Half Man” Jones about, but said the teen actor had “an interesting take… He’s a beautiful young man… you should reach out to him.”
Sheen also said she spoke to possible replacement Rob Lowe. “He’s a buddy of mine. He’s a beautiful man. He’s a brilliant actor, and I hope he does it and kicks its a** because I still get (paid),” said Sheen.
And should Lowe or John Stamos, whose name has also been bandied about, take the job, Sheen recommended, ”Don’t look at the 177 episodes that I brilliantly did. Just park those! Ignore the 400 reruns every week that you can’t avoid. Cancel your Sheen app. I would recommend, in all seriousness, that they make it their own.”
The star, however, was less kind to Dr. Drew, who he’d be willing to fight. “Bring it little man,” he challenged.
Sheen said, “My days on TV might be a little bit behind me,” adding, “I got no job, I got no dough.”
Listen to the full interview below and tell us what you think.
Charlie Sheen will talk for the first time since his firing from “Two and a Half Men” tonight when he hosts a LIVE CHAT with fans during “Sheen’s Korner” on UStream.
UPDATE – Well, Sheen didn’t chat after all.
What he DID do at 10:00 p.m. ET was air a brief montage of movie clips, followed by a blistering, bizarre ten-minute attack on his “unwanted guest list,” including “Two and a Half Men” creator Chuck Lorre and CBS president Les Moonves.
Charlie Sheen has been fired from “Two and a Half Men.”
“After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on ‘Two and a Half Men’ effective immediately,” Warner Bros. tells MC in a statement.
“No decision’s been made on the future of the show,” a rep for Warner Bros. tellsGossip Cop, which leaves open the possibility, at least for now, that a Sheen-less “Two and a Half Men” could air next year.
“This is very good news. They continue to be in breach, like so many whales. It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of the bazillions, never have to look at whatshiscock again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension,” the actor says in a statement to TMZ.
As bizarre and angry as ever, Sheen recorded a late Sunday call with friend Bob Maron in which he rants about needing to overhaul his webcast to get out his message.
“I’m gonna write my sermons, [and] I’m gonna deliver them like truth torpedoes,” explains Sheen.
At various points there are references to orange juice, jumping out of a plane, his “magic tray,” and how his telephone is an instrument of the “trolls.”
After the call, Sheen spends a few minutes rambling about the expression “it is what it is,” certain tenets of his philosophy, and the death of his dog Betty.
The media-shy “winner” told Access Hollywood that he intends to go to earthquake-ravaged Haiti with Sean Penn.
“Looks like we’re heading down,” said Sheen. “I’m excited as hell, because if I can bring the attention of the world down there, then clearly this tsunami keeps cresting.”
Penn, who founded the J/P Haitian Relief Organization after the nation endured the catastrophic earthquake of 2010, says he’d welcome Sheen’s help.
Penn tell MCin a statement: “I think [Sheen's] energies, intelligence and passion could be both of service and servicing to him, as it is to all who are touched by the struggle of the Haitian people. Charlie is one of the very few public people who cannot be accused of using the media to his own benefit. I would very much like to show my old friend the world of needs on the ground in Haiti, and introduce him and his tremendous wit to our hard working Haitian staff.”
If he chooses to give support, I’ll trust it,” added Penn.
The Charlie Sheen roller coaster that has transfixed America now features a new player – Paris Hilton.
During a taping of “The Ellen DeGeneresShow” scheduled to air on Monday, Hilton tells the host that her upcoming reality series with Sheen’s estranged wife Brooke Mueller will feature some of the Sheen drama, from Mueller’s perspective.
“The World According to Paris” will debut this spring on Oxygen, and Mueller’s involvement has taken on new significance amid Sheen’s many controversies.
“You had no idea all this stuff [with Sheen] was going to be happening when you shot that,” DeGeneres says to Hilton, who replies, “Let’s just say there’s a lot of drama in the show.”
Hilton confirmed that they’re still shooting for the series.
“Oh, wow. So you’re capturing her side of all this stuff?” asks DeGeneres, to which Hilton nods her head, but refuses to offer specifics, only saying, “It’s a surprise… It’s really good. There’s a lot that happens.”
Are you curious to see Mueller’s side of the Sheen craziness?
Just an hour after the troubled actor tweeted that he and Mueller “verbally reached a deal” to settle a dispute triggered when she obtained a restraining order against him on Monday, Mueller reportedly called it off because Sheen continues to talk to the media, according to TMZ.
Sheen’s interviews and tweets on the subject of the custody drama are said to violate their agreement.
It’s likely that the two parties will have to be in court on Monday to resolve what’s become an ugly fight over the couple’s twin toddlers.
One day after his blistering rant that killed “Two and a Half Men,” the troubled star called in to Fox Sports Radio and host Pat O’Brien – himself a recovering substance abuser.
Was Sheen more thoughtful and polite after a good night’s sleep?
Uh… not exactly.
Sheen calls the “Two and a Half Men” set “toxic” and a “sludge pit” and labels the people there “turds” and “knuckleheads.”
Hollywood’s highest-paid sitcom actor says he felt like “an unwanted relative being given cold coffee at 9:00 p.m. every night.”
Asked what he had to say to the show’s crew, Sheen declared, “We are at war, and there are ways to deal with these clowns and take all their money.”
He added, “Defeat is not an option… They picked a fight with the wrong guy.”
He also insists that he’s “100 percent” sober while continuing to blast Alcoholics Anonymous.
“If you want to meet me for one of my workouts at 5:00 a.m., you’re going to find out that smoking cocaine just does not fit in with that snapshot,” Sheen tells O’Brien.
He called “Two and a Half Men” co-creators Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn “a couple of AA Nazis and really just blatant hypocrites.”
The star discussed his next chapter: “It’s called life and fatherhood and fun.”
When O’Brien tells Sheen that people just want him to be “normal,” the star fought the label.
“I’m not normal,” Sheen tells O’Brien. “And that’s something they’ve never gotten their minds around. And people are still getting used to that.”
“But if people want me to succeed, they should find their most comfortable chair, in their frickin’ house and sit in it and pop open a beer and lean back and watch the show because it’s about to get really gnarly!”
One of the most controversial points from yesterday’s Charlie Sheenradio rant comes when the actor refers to “Two and a Half Men” creator Chuck Lorre as “Chaim Levine.”
Sheen’s peculiar use of that name – made in the midst of a longer screed against the man he calls a “turd” – has been interpreted by many observers as anti-Semitic, especially given his hateful tone and the implication that Lorre avoids his “real name.”
It is worth pointing out, however, that Lorre (who was born Charles Levine), recently referred to himself as “Chaim,” too.
The February 7 episode of Lorre’s show “Mike & Molly” carried a Chuck Lorre Productions title card that the producer himself wrote while visiting Israel.
Using the card to ponder his Jewish roots, Lorre reflects, “Why have I spent a lifetime moving away from that group? How did Chaim become Chuck? How did Levine become Lorre?”
(Note: the Hebrew version of Charles is Chaim.)
So it’s very possible that Sheen’s allusion to “Chaim Levine” was, as he claims to TMZ, done to call out Lorre “the man, not the bulls**t TV persona.”
Sheen himself was born Carlos Estevez, and it’s reasonable to say that someone referring to Sheen by that name isn’t necessarily denigrating his Latino heritage.
Still, the use of Lorre’s Hebrew name in the context of Sheen’s diatribe raises eyebrows.
Following CBS and Warner Bros. announcing today that they were shutting down production of “Two and a Half Men” for the rest of the season, stemming from Charlie Sheen’s earlier outlandish outbursts, the actor has now shot back in a venom-filled letter given to TMZ.
Sheen spews:
What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows … I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can’t handle my power and can’t handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words — imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong.
Remember these are my people … not yours…we will continue on together…
