The ‘losing’ actor has finally settled his lawsuit…
Now what? Where to now Charlie, what’s your next move? How are you going to make an idiot out of yourself this time around? Any major movie roles or television offers to consider? I didn’t think so.
Yet, no doubt, someone will come knocking on your door – it’s only a matter of time. This nation of ours is very forgiving, and those of you fortunate enough to be in the spotlight will always be in demand – and the more problematic and controversial you are the “better.” Hopefully you can keep your alcohol and drug consumption in check and turn things around. Only time will tell… TGO

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Charlie Sheen has settled a lawsuit with the makers and creators of “Two and A Half Men” over the actor’s dismissal from the top-rated U.S. television comedy earlier this year, Warner Bros. said on Monday.
Sheen had filed a $100 million lawsuit against the studio behind the CBS comedy and its creator Chuck Lorre after he was fired from the show in March.
Warner Bros. did not put a figure on the settlement. The case had been settled through arbitration.
“Warner Bros. Television, Chuck Lorre and Charlie Sheen have resolved their dispute to the parties’ mutual satisfaction. The pending lawsuit and arbitration will be dismissed as to all parties. The parties have agreed to maintain confidentiality over the terms of the settlement,” Warner Bros said in a statement.
Sheen, the highest-paid actor on U.S. television, was fired from “Two and A Half Men” after publicly insulting Lorre in a series of bizarre interviews. His remarks followed a series of trips to rehab that had forced production on the TV comedy to be suspended in early 2011.
Monday’s settlement announcement followed months of acrimonious exchanges, tempered by contrite appearances by Sheen on TV talk shows and at The Emmys in the last two weeks.
Sheen was replaced on “Two and A Half Men” by Ashton Kutcher. The new season debuted last week to a record 28.7 million U.S. viewers — a bigger audience than any episodes in the comedy’s first eight seasons with Sheen in the starring role as a womanizing bachelor.
