Charlie Sheen Wants $100,000,000!
Friday 11 March 2011
Wayward actor, Charlie Sheen is suing Warner Bros and its executive, Chuck Lorre for $100,000,000 (That’s around £62.5m to you and me).
Sheen’s demands have surfaced after he was fired from hit American show, Two And A Half Men. Although the letter firing Sheen cited his drug problem, it coincided with Sheen’s public outbursts making disparaging remarks about Lorre.
Sheen is filing his lawsuit with top lawyer, Marty Singer and wants costs for 8 scrapped episodes as well as punitive damages and in a bizarre humanitarian ploy, is suing Warner Bros for the loss of earnings to his co-stars.
TMZ.com cite that in the lawsuit, Singer states “Chuck Lorre... believes himself to be so wealthy and powerful that he can unilaterally decide to take money away from the dedicated cast and crew of the popular television series Two And A Half Men in order to serve his own ego and self-interest, and make the star of the series the scapegoat for Lorre’s own conduct."
Singer goes on to claim that Lorre fired Sheen when he was ill which goes against state and federal law.
With all that money, Sheen will be able to buy as much Tiger Blood as he wants!

So charlie sheen has finally lost the plot and to use his co-stars as an excuse to file a law suit is inexcusable. Kendra is quite right that no-one will want to work with him anymore as he's totally unreliable. He obviousy thinks he's untouchable as well. if he'd just sought help for his problems and kept his trap shut he would probably still have his job. Although i doubt he'll be destitute now he's lost his high paid job, his extensive drink/drug problem will probably eat its way quickly through his fortune. AS for his co-stars, i feel very sorry for them and its only a pity Charlie can't be replaced to let the series continue. That would sicken him!
