Charlie Sheen Fired, what now?

[Skuzzy]

Charlie Sheen 47, is all over the news because he's a celebrity drug addict. While Andrew Wilfahrt 31, Brian Tabada 21, Rudolph Hizon 22, Chauncy Mays 25 are all soldiers who gave their lives this week with no media mention. Honor THEM!

You see this thread?  Do you see a thread about the dead soldiers?

This is how our society works.  Only question is this;  Is it this way because of the media or is the media reacting to what the people really want to hear about?

Its time the show changed actors anyways. What made it real fun to watch was two guys and a kid dealing with womanizing troubles of the main character.

The boy isnt a boy anymore... and they cant just dump a new kid into the show and keep Sheen and his overpaid BS.

Start the show anew. Two new adult male actors and a new kid.. same scriptwriters. After all its called Two and a Half men not 'Sheen and 2 other guys' .

FAIL. Kill the show, it would never be worth watching with a different cast.

I don't care who you are, but the Charlie Waffles episode was about one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Unfortunately thats the society we live in, celebrities going insane gets higher ratings then talking about actual American heroes.   

Oh comon, say it.  It is not the society.  I did not choose not to see it in the news.  It is the country we leave in and the country those guys died protecting.  Those things are not on tv for a reason and society has nothing to do with it.   

If you watched the news every day you would have no idea there has been a war going on

if the people and the news programs would just quit there obessions with hollyweird actors, having to know everything they do at all times of the day, honetly it's Trash media and the sheeple love it for reasons i'll never know, who really cares about drugged out Charlie, i mean what am i suppose to say?  " Poor rich actor pissed his life away on booze and drugs "  who flippin cares, he brought it upon himself and the media is running with it for Ratings

[Puma44]

Who cares?!  And why is anyone wasting time on this thread about a grossly overpaid child?

I respect Charlie's movie career but not so much on some of the things he has done off the screen and in his own personal life. If he wants to drink and snort his way to death eventually, or completely get clean and try to live longer for his kid's sake (for their sake alone, hopefuly he does) then who are we to judge him either way because we are just 'the little people' (according to some celebs, such as Russell Crowe). As for the show, well I have only seen one esp. and I wasn't too impressed to say the least. I hate to say it but Sheen was the only one reason why that show was popular. As for the other actors in it, it would only setting them up for dissapointment if they tried to replace him with someone else. So in other words, cancel the show.

Probably 50-50%.

The media covers whatever they think will get RATINGS.

People see high-profile people and celebs as a sort of reality soap opera as well as what trax referred to as watching some NASCAR 20 car pileup in slow motion over a period of weeks.  Can they pull the P-38 (their lives) out of the compression dive before they end up like John Belushi or Chris Farley?  "Inquiring Minds Want to Know".  Sad.

Same for Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton, Michael Jackson, etc., etc., etc.

There was a day when TV and film stars private lives were "off limits" in the press and media.  By the late 60's...those days were gone.  Today, some celebrity's personal nose dive into H-E-double-Hockey Sticks becomes fourth story on national news and water-cooler talk.
