EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Sheen Reveals To Radar: 'I'm Moving To HBO For My Own Show'
Posted on Feb 25, 2011 @ 07:15AM
Charlie Sheen has fired back on the decision to suspend Two and Half Men, labeling the move “crazy” -- and boldly declaring that he is switching channels to HBO.
In a text message from the Bahamas where he is vacationing, the 45-year-old actor described CBS and Warner Bros. decision to immediately stop production of Two and a Half Men for the rest of the season as “crazy” and “sad”.

The Hollywood superstar revealed he was in serious negotiations to star in his own half-hour show, titled Sheen’s Corner -- a deal that would reputedly land him a whopping $5 million an episode.
“I’m close to securing a deal with HBO for a 10 show guarantee,” Sheen told RadarOnline.com’s Dylan Howard, exclusively.

“It will be epic, all types of guests and we will focus on the truth and the absurd!”
Despite Sheen’s claims, a spokesperson for HBO said the network had not done any deal with the star.
Earlier, CBS and Warner Bros. released a statement, saying: "Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production of Two And A Half Men for the remainder of the season."

In an open letter to his fans, Sheen also wrote:
What does this say about Haim Levine 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...
Sheen earned $2 million an episode from CBS and Warner Bros.

He has been a womanizing self indulgent jerk his whole life. I feel for his family but have no sympathy for Charlie. I hope we don't have to see this idiot anymore.

Notice the sound of crickets chirping in HBO's corner? That silence speaks volumes.

HELLO?! Before you all crucify Charlie has it dawned
on ANY of YOU (including his
family) that this guy is BI-POLAR?
Conspiracy theories, extreme
highs and lows, self medication,
sexual permissiveness?
He's sick and will destruct without
HELP!

He did it to himself and I'm tired of these self indulgent idiots. Put him in a padded room or send him to Canada....I don't want to hear about him anymore.

Charlie's nuts! But what about Brook moving back in with him??? She's even crazier than he is. The only ones I feel sorry for are his kids. Why are they being allowed to spend even one minute with him?

Sheen has lost it if he thinks HBO is going to pay him $5m for a half hour of his brain droppings.?

Brain is fried. Sober/clean will most likely save his life, but not the brain. George Carlin said:"Cocaine makes you feel like a new man....and the first thing that new man wants is more cocaine" And
Sheen added meth to it...

Has anyone checked out the recent bikini photos of Denise Richards? Wow! And she gave birth to two kids. She's a hundred times better looking than his porn stars and has a thousand times more class.

In LA Times article, Sheen is described as referring to Chuck Lorre as "Chaim Levine" and article states Lorre's actual birth-name is Charles Michael Levine. But Lorre states his real name is Chaim Levine. I'm confused.
