Just when you thought the celebrity news couldn't get any worse, Charlie Sheen drops this bombshell: He's not a wack job any more.
Great. So what do we do now?
First Britney Spears cleans up her act, now Charlie Sheen. Who's next? Lindsay Lohan?
Some celebrities are so inconsiderate.
Sheen made a highly popular guest appearance Sunday at the Fox “all-star party” for TV critics, and used the occasion to announce, “I’m not crazy any more. That was an episode.”
Now he tells us.
Sheen was in the house to promote “Anger Management,” the appropriately-titled new show he will be making for Fox's cable sister channel FX. It is based on the 2003 Adam Sandler/Jack Nicholson movie of the same name.
Casting is under way, according to the Hollywood Reporter, with filming set to begin in March and the on-air premiere in June.
Sheen’s deal reportedly is that if the first 10 episodes reach a satisfactory ratings level, 90 more episodes will be filmed. A hundred episodes is considered the necessary number for a show to eventually go into syndication.
Sheen said he’s “happy to be in a situation where the people I work with are excited about my input. That hasn’t happened in a long time.”
That was a mild slap at CBS, which fired him last year from the hit sitcom “Two and a Half Men” after his behavior spun out so far out of control it became an international story.
In the first episode this season, “Two and a Half Men” killed off his character in a funeral sequence that suggested one of his ladies finally got tired of his act.
On Sunday night he called the CBS decision “a little mean-spirited,” but said he thought the episode itself was well done.
He said his replacement, Ashton Kutcher, is doing a good job, and that “it’s a different show now.”
Looking relaxed and upbeat, with his new tooth firmly in place, Sheen said he has backed off from a life of multiple drugs and multiple women.
“I think I’m a different person than I was yesterday,” he said. “Everything is a lot more mellow and focused and much more rooted in reality.”
Sheen’s track record suggests, of course, this might not necessarily be a permanent situation.
