Two And A Half Men Continues Production After Sheen's Bender

The internet has been ablaze the last few weeks with gossip about Charlie Sheen’s personal life. Over the Christmas holiday, the Two and a Half Men star lost a reported twenty-five pounds, leading CBS to mull over halting the series entirely to let the actor go into rehab. He refused, and the cast was left wondering whether or not they’d be shooting any new episodes anytime soon. Apparently, they will be.

According to TMZ, Sheen went on another bender this last weekend, complete with heavy boozing and several porn actresses. On the heels of this, many outlets including Deadline were openly speculating on Two and a Half Men’s future, but the actor reportedly showed up lucid and prepared this morning. One unnamed insider even called him a highly functioning addict.

Things were so bad over the weekend, CBS reportedly got a press release together discussing their abrupt shutdown of the highly popular sitcom, but after Sheen procured a lawyer and threatened to sue the show if they shut down without cause, all was quietly dropped.

This can’t end well, can it? Stay tuned as the drama continues to unfold.
