Charlie Sheen’s crazy radio rant shuts down his show

Following Charlie Sheen‘s 18-minute rant yesterday on radio’s Alex Jones Show, in which he insulted numerous people including Two and a Half Men creator/writer Chuck Lorre, CBS shut down production of the show. “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,” they said in a statement released just hours after Sheen’s radio interview. During the interview, Sheen said a number of shocking things that demonstrate the magnitude of his self-importance, including: “I’ve got magic. I’ve got poetry in my fingertips. Most of the time – and this includes naps – I’m an F-18, bro. And I will destroy you in the air.” About Lorre, he said: “There’s something this side of deplorable that a certain Chaim Levine – yeah, that’s Chuck’s real name – mistook this rock star for his own selfish exit strategy, bro,” Sheen said in the radio rant. (Lorre’s given name is Charles Michael Levine). “I embarrassed him in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace that this un-evolved mind cannot process… And the gratitude I get is [that] this charlatan chose not to do his job, which is to write.”  He also called Alcoholics Anonymous a “bootleg cult,” saying, “I have a disease? Bullshit. I cured it . . . with my mind. . . I can’t use the word ‘sober’ because that’s a term from those people, and I have cleansed myself. I have closed my eyes and in a nanosecond, I cured myself. . . . It’s just the work of sissies. The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning. You know? This bootleg cult arrogantly referred to as A.A. now supports a 5 percent success rate. My success rate is 100 percent. Do the math! One of their stupid mottoes is, ‘Don’t be special, be one of us.’ News flash: I am special and I will never be one of you. . . . I’m going to hang out with these two smokin’ hotties and fly privately around the world.” After the announcement regarding the show being put on hold for the rest of the season, Sheen wrote a note to TMZ, calling Lorre “a contaminated little maggot” and said he had defeated “this earthworm with my words – imagine what I would have done with my fire-breathing fists.”
