Shocking news, Charlie.
CBS President and CEO, Les Moonves, wants Charlie Sheen back and Two and a Half Men airing again!
Charlie was summarily fired from Men for vague “morality” concerns, but the real issue was his fued with show producer Chuck Lorre. In response, Charlie has sued the show for $100 million, and gone on a much publicised rant. His shenanigans have earned him 3million Twitter followers, a $7 million per month comedy tour, numerous interviews and merchandising income.
A CBS source says,
Moonves wants to get the show back on the air. He says certain people need to forget anything and everything Charlie’s done recently and just move on with the business at hand.
The core issue is, as he put it, the volatile relationship between Charlie Sheen and Chuck Lorre. He believes that if CBS and Warner Bros TV honchos can find a way to get Chuck and Charlie to speak again, cooler heads will prevail.
Well, this is a massive shift in attitude for the CBS – although who knows if he really will be able to convince Warner Bros? Secret talks have already been going on for the past few days!
As we all know, bringing the show back will just mean more money for the producers and the network. Coming back to the show now would actually mean a paycut for Charlie!
We all know that Charlie’s “winning”; what side of Chuck Lorre will win – greed or ego?
