Charlie Sheen tells 'Good Morning America' he will show up for work despite suspension of 'Two and a Half Men'
Charlie Sheen says that he is 100% clean and plans to show up for work on the set of "Two and a Half Men," despite the fact that CBS suspended the show, the actor told "Good Morning America" on Friday through a series of text messages.
Sheen also said he's thinking about switching channels to HBO, where he plans to star in his own show called "Sheen's Corner." HBO says there’s no truth to Sheen’s claim.
The actor's text messages to "Good Morning America" arrived shortly after he addressed his suspension Thursday night in an open letter obtained by TMZ. The letter found him continuing his ongoing attacks on the show's executive producer Chuck Lorre, referred to by Sheen as "Haim Levine," in an apparent slur against Lorre, who was born Charles Michael Levine.
"What does this say about Haim Levine after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me," Sheen wrote. "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."

I once had a business partner frighteningly similar to Charlie Sheen. He was supposedly clean and sober when I met him but then the old demons once again took over. He was also a TV actor. He destroyed everything that myself and others had worked hard to achieve and there was nothing to be done but close down the company. His bizarre and destructive behavior scared off all business associates even though it also cost him money and success. The producers were right to cancel production. There's no other choice.

Charlie Sheen is so full of himself. He is a disgrace to the great legacy his father earned. it's clear that the chemicals he is ingesting for pleasure has cause permanent damage. If any network allows his conduct to influence you children they should be held accountable. As for HBO, are you willing to promote this rediculous strung out addict?
What are you thinking by putting this ignorant person to young children who may want to mirror him. HBO has always been a responsible network that families could trust for their children. Charlie Sheen doesn't live in reality.
Keep this spoiled nut out of people's home.

Didn't know Charlie wrote all those words that made the show what it was...guess all the other actors on that show were just houseplants on that show and never uttered a word....Chuck...here's an idea, show a little loyalty to the people who were on that show with you.....now they don't get paid cuz you can't control yourself....now THAT is an INJUSTICE!!!!

Keep going Charlie, You are already in my top 3 on my deadpool along with Tila Tequila and Jeremy London. You're going to make me money.
It's hilarious how you actually thought you could give Lindsey any advice. Delusional much?

How funny. What, is he going to turn on the lights and cameras and just do the show by himself?

Charlie Sheen reminds me of Jim Belushi. Two people who wouldn't be working actors if it wasn't for someone else in their family.

Have some pride and dump the guy. Don't let him back in. CBS should have hired me for the part years ago. HA!

Mel Gibson owes Charlie big time for taking over the spotlight like that.

A joke would imply wit. I prefer the term "jackass" for this sadsack

Poor Charlie... I've been there. Full flight from reality. Just so sad that everyone is out of work. There's hope for you too Charlie. I hope he get's the help he needs and the crew finds work quickly.

What day and time slot for the new HBO series? Will that be broadcasted on cable or a frequency that only you can see?

Charlie Sheen called Obama "a coward in a cheap suit" on the Alex Jones show for refusing to answer Charlie 's 911 questions
(see Alex Jones website - http://www.infowars.com/sheen-on-obama-a-coward-in-a-cheap-suit/)
Why is nobody talking about that?
