Charlie Sheen is Awesome!

Part 1
"I said, 'Stay away from the crack!' which I think is pretty good advice. Unless you can manage it socially, Dan!  If you can manage it socially, go for it.  But not a lot of people can, ya know?" -Charlie Sheen on The Dan Patrick Show yesterday

Part 2

Deadline.com- Charlie Sheen made another bizarre public statement this morning, this time on live radio. The Two and a Half Men star, who is undergoing rehab treatment at home, called into the Dan Patrick Show to complain that CBS andMen producer Warner Bros. TV would not allow him to return to work despite, according to him, being ready to do so. "They said 'You get ready and we'll get ready'," he said in the 30-minute interview. "I got ready and went back and nobody was there ... I don't know what to tell ya," Sheen said, adding that he lost his voice banging on the show's stage doors. He stressed that the show's hiatus has been "forced". He cracked that "at this pace", Men will return to production in "August 2014". Full Article

I respect Charlie Sheen in the sense that he doesn't hide who he is.  And why should he?  He's the highest paid actor, on the the network's most successful show, for acting like himself.  And it's funny as hell!  But when he continues to be himself after the cameras stop rolling, then it's a problem.  If he shows up to work on time and does the job you pay him to do under contract, isn't it impossible to reprimand him?  That's why I love the fact that even though he's in the middle of so much controversy, he's still knows that the whole situation is comical and he's in the driver's seat with the network.  That's why he can go on national radio and blast his employers.  


P.s. what are the odds that at the end of this season, when they wrap-up taping, Charlie goes on a bender?  2-1? 5-2?
