According to TMZ, Charlie Sheen’s at-home rehab will barely interfere with production of his hit CBS comedy, Two and a Half Men. It’s thought that Charlie will be back on set within 3-4 weeks, which will ensure that the show remains on the air and that cast and crew don’t go without pay while they wait for him to decide whether his life has become unmanageable.
Charlie Sheen will return to “Two and a Half Men” in 3-4 weeks — at least that’s now the plan — and producers will make up the episodes so no one from the cast or crew will be out any money … TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with the show tell us … although nothing is in stone … they’re told by the addiction specialist that Charlie could be back to work next month. If that happens, producers would most likely make up the two missed shows at the end of the production season.
Bottom line — no one will lose money and the show could be back on track.

As E! reports, the show is just as popular as ever and was top in its time slot on Monday. That means that the star and chief money-maker Charlie will be propped up and shipped back to work, where he’ll act like everything is fine and bring in the big bucks to fuel his drugged out orgies.
There’s news that Charlie’s famous parents, Martin Sheen and Charlie’s mom, Janet, are working to establish some kind of conservatorship over their 45 year-old son. They realize it’s a long shot, but are so worried for him that they’re considering it. Radar Online quotes an insider who says “Charlie’s parents are discussing getting a conservatorship of their son. Martin and Janet know that it’s highly unlikely their petition would be granted, but they are trying to do whatever possible to save Charlie’s life.”
Charlie’s most talkative paid company from the night he was rushed to the hospital with a “hernia,” porn star Kacey Jordan, was on Howard Stern this week where she gave a more salacious version of her adventures with the TV star than the one she told GMA. On Stern, Jordan mentioned that Charlie has a mouth full of gold teeth that he covers will some kind of veneer grill.
TMZ has a photo of Charlie taken on that night, when he was presumably in the midst of his crack, pot and booze binge. He looks like death. As long as the dude is still breathing and making people money, they’ll put him on the job.

People actually watch this show?
oh come onnnnnnnnnn
seriously cancel this show already!!!
And the shit goes on…and keeps getting worse. As long as these money hungry networks can milk his drunken, cracked-out sorry ass-wipe then he will continue on his self-destructive ways
I confess, I watched it in syndication the other night, and my husband and I, who rarely laugh out loud at much, laughed at several times-admittedly, more at John Cryer, who I really appreciate. Then I looked at him and said, “We’re paying for a Charlie Sheen coke-and-hooker binge right now.” It was depressing to realize. We went back to ESPN after that.
@prettytarheel
If everyone turned the channel or stopped patronizing celebrities who flaunt society’s norms and laws, we’d be better off for it an get better entertainment because of it. Good job.
By the way, when I first read your comment I thought you were depressed for having to have to watch yet another sporting event lol.
There is not one reponsible person in this whole sick situation…really disgusting.
Those jackals at CBS will continue to milk their cash cow until he dies, then they can haul his dead ass onto the set – a la Weekend At Bernie’s, prop him up, and he can spit out some one liners. That’s basically the premise of the show now, isn’t it?
“According to TMZ…”
That just made me think of Jon Cryer who before this last binge happened talked about how he checked tmz to see if he had to go to work. lol. He wasn’t lying! Im sure he’s thinking “Oh no, i jinxed it!”
@Rita: Nah, when you name yourself PrettyTarheel, it’s probably pretty clear you spend a lot of time watching ESPN. Plus, Mr. Tarheel lives and dies by the Steelers, so we’re NFL Network 24-7 until Sunday.
How embarassing that a 45 year old man’s parents are considering legal conservatorship because he can’t get his sh*t together? The man has EVERYTHING=a steady job,money,a roof over his head, food to eat, family, etc Alot of people don’t have these things and are homeless and/or jobless it sickens me that he squanders millions of dollars on hookers drugs and booze. Where are the cops to throw his a** in jail?! They may be the only ones who can save his life by keeping him in jail for a couple months to get detoxed
My man watches the show and it’s become way more focused on Jon Cryer and his son’s character. I’m sure they’ll be some sort of spin off when Charlie dies in real life and they kill him off on the show and leave all his crap to his brother and the kid. What is it, CBS? They don’t care about personal issues. They care about the money. TV is big business. There is no responsibility other than getting the show out on time. Jackals is the right name for them.
@Prettytarheels
Don’t you mean Steelers:24 Green Bay:7?
lol
does that many people watch this stupid show? I tried to watch it couple of times and is just awful: is not even funny and Charlie Sheen’s face looks like what he is a pervert. If I worked at that show, I will constantly sanitize anything Charlie touches for fear of catching some STD. Ugh!
why is this show still on? it is the tv equivalent of “weekend at bernie’s” -propped up and limping along.
never seen the show BECAUSE of charlie sheen.
he has always been a supreme douche.
wife beating, pedophile porn watching, drug addicted father of little girls. so classy.
i hate to say it, hollywood keeps giving him a free pass despite every terrible thing he has done for the past 20 some odd years. i am so sick and tired of the hypocrisy: i am ready for him to star-wipe and out.
yes, i said it. i’m a bitch. i not wishing death on him, just will be happy when it happens.
god, help those girls and his family.
i laugh at jon cryer. he’s fantastic. the only good thing i have to say about this story is at least the crew will get paid. they depend on charlie for their livelihood, and i’m happy they won’t suffer-at last not yet.
This is such a bad influence show on kids and I find it disgusting to watch, Jon Cryer is at least better than Charlie. Why does the network think this is a funny show, it’s horrible. Shows network doesn’t care what they put out over the air, just money hungry. Charlie needs his ass kicked.
Who cares???
Always thought the ‘Men’ show was lame, not funny and never understood the appeal of Charlie Sheen anyhow. He’s not even goodlooking. He looks like a nasty old perv.
I find it odd that so many people are blaming CBS for milking Charlie… If one of us regular people had a drug habit, we’d be lucky to keep a job and nobody would be blaming our bosses. His bosses have no bearing on his inability to be a functioning adult.
I just read some article that said the crew is PISSED. Many of them do not get paid when they’re not working, and this is the second time production has shut down because of Charlie’s “rehab”. They’ll probably still do the ordered # of episodes, but until they go back to work, they aren’t getting paychecks. I feel really bad for them. Charlie should pay them himself, like some late night guys did during the writer’s strike, which wasn’t their fault. This is 100% Charlie’s fault, and he should financially take care of the people who make the show that pays him millions per episode.
This is totally unrelated, but it has be bothering me for a while (sad but true):
TMZ needs to use a thesaurus. Every other post is ” has learned” or “has exclusively learned”.
also, it should be “learned exclusively”.
I feel better now.
So the show really IS true to life! Charlie’s life. No wonder he plays it so seamlessly. It’s him!
Bring back Smurfette (Kelly Stables). I still think she torched the house of Alan’s lover.
@ Rita – Actually, many of us commented on (and wrote letters to CBS regarding) CS’ “Boy Blohan” behaviour* when this mess first started last year. Nothing happened. CBS stood by their boy.
* Technically, I guess I should re-name Blohan “Twattie Sheen” since he’s been around longer (and is w-a-y badder) than Blohan.
I love two and a half men. I don’t think it right that someone should be so highly paid for re-enacting their own existance. There’s no skill in that.
John Cryer may be a supporting actor but without him there would be no point in watching Charlie Sheen. The rest of the cast just make the show.
