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."

Let's not start comparing Charlie to Lindsay. Charlie is a proven star with years of credits in acadamy award winning films (remember Platoon?) among others. Lindsay has been in what again? Why are we talking about her? How many top rated tv shows has she been in? Charlie is Hollywood royalty and when you get to the point where you are able to write your own ticket, you get to be a little "eccentric". Lindsay hasn't earned the right to do that.

Charlie's luck has run out,he has never been a very good actor.He never had a life plan except to live off of Daddy while doing drugs,getting drunk and having sex with hookers.He makes big bucks for simply playing himself on tv but still cannot keep it together.I feel for his poor kids..I believe he has a grown child from a former gf, 2 beautiful daughters with Denise Richards(this woman is a saint in my opinion to have put up with this crap while protecting her children)And then there are the twin boys with Brooke Mueller(the jury is still out on her but from what I read she struggles with sobriety as does Charlie)Charlie's whole life is a mess but what the hell,just order in more crack and hookers . He will feel at home on the streets...guard those gold teeth Charlie with your superpowered fists....you won't be in Beverly Hills anymore.

he talks about the show's fans being on his side marching up steps- um dude i think most of them think you are a joke by now.
The show is awful and how it lasted as long as it did- i don't know- he plays a watered down family version of himself- the smartest thing to do now is to end the show or continue on without him because I am sorry but with his downward spiral being displayed so publicly, how is it funny to watch him play a drunken womanizer?

Enough of him, he is not news worthy. People are suffering, dying, men and women are @ war, babies and miracles are being born and he is having a hissy fit with a porn star.......really?

I thought Sheen was pathetic but his fans are the real losers. I mean at least Sheen is getting paid.

Lorre's words are "tin cans" and Charlie Sheen has for ten years "turned them into pure gold" seems to be a claim made someone who thinks the delivery is more important than the message. If Charlie perceives himself to be more talented than Chuck Lorre, he is mistaken. Lorre created the show. I believe another actor can speak the words as well. I think the words are pure gold and maybe Charlie is trying to turn them into tin cans.

Drug induced paranoid schitzophrenia. Gotta love the fact that he is of the age that he will be this way the rest of his life.I hope the will is in order.

Granted, after his irresponsible rants that were way out of line, He deserves this but not the others. They ought to stop the show, right now, and re configure it with out this ungrateful thing named Charlie Sheen.

The show of 2 and Half Men should be banned from television. It is not suitable for children which airs too early in the evening. It is full of sex ideas which certainly gives kids a lot of ideas. No wonder Charlie Sheen is so messed up. It is really not a healthy way to live .
