Charlie Sheen just can't seem to get Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre off his mind.
During a Friday gig at New York City's Radio City Music Hall -- the fifth stop on Sheen's "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option" tour -- the unemployed actor offered Lorre an open invitation to his next show in hopes of "work[ing] this s--t" out."

"They fired me, man. I made them $5 billion and gave you guys almost a decade of entertainment and they fired me," the Associated Press quotes Sheen, 45, as saying. "I was having too much fun. What did they expect [when they paid me that kind of money]?" Then he added, "Of course I want my job back."
The actor -- let go from the CBS series March 7 -- then extended an olive branch to Lorre, whom he sued for a whopping $100 million in March and blasted for his "dictatorial laziness."

"Let's get Chuck Lorre at Radio City and let's fix Two and a Half Men," Sheen told his NYC audience. The series has been on hiatus since Sheen's dismissal and a possible Sheen replacement has yet to be named.
While Sheen may have made some progress in mending his relationship with Lorre, the rest of his Big Apple show was a bomb.

"[It was] a total disaster," an eyewitness tells UsMagazine.com of the sold out gig, which ran about an hour instead of the promised 90 minutes. "Just like in Detroit, he got booed and walked off stage early." (The actor's debut show April 2 prompted boos, demands for refunds and mass walkouts.)

17As much as I like Charlie Sheen, it's time to for him call it a day! You know what they say, Charlie: CRAP or get off the proverbial POT!
I really don't give a crap what he does in his personal time! I just want two and a half men back. I miss it! and all of you know the show can go on without charlie but you have to admit its f*in great when he and alan pick on one another! either way just get it back on the air!
Beg, slimeball, beg. LOSING!
Ughhh I am so over hearing about Sheen, who cares, he is a waste of space.
I AM SURE CHUCK LORRE WILL BE ADAMANT AND REHIRE CHARLIE SHEEN. I BELIEVE HE A GENTLEMAN AND ABOVE ALL THE BAD FEELINGS THAT HAD ENSUED DURING CHARLIE'S BAD TIME. CHARLIE IS REACHING OUT TO CHUCK AND I KNOW HE WIL GET A POSITIVE REPLY.
No-Way,Should Lorre deal with Sheen again.he gave him enougn chances, and the guy is a idiot.
He is a h0 monger and junkie, and all around trash. Some of his audience booed when he said he gave up drugs. That tells me many of the people who are his fans are of the same character.
He's a loser, beg now Charlie..scank!
Two and a Half Men will never be the same without Charlie being on there it will lose so many fans!!!
u got to get ur un know what together, papi, i know u can do it.
Amanda, you are not very bright are you? chuck Lorre is Two and A Half Men...you probably think Charlie writes his own lines too??
They should write him out of the show by him having a drug oc=verdose and keep the show alive with the rest of the cast.That cast is so hilarious that they could carry the show to anothe place.
Uh..Amanda...if they drop Chuck Lorre...they drop Two and a Half Men. You see...he is the guy who *created and produced the show* So by your logic it means Charlie Sheen would still be out of a job because it is Chuck Lorre's show, and this is a guy who has a record for *creating hit shows* that does not have Sheen attached at all. You seem to have mistaken Charlie Sheen for Alan Alda. You see Alda was bright enough to invest in his hit series he was the star of instead of spending his millions in his trailer having "Too much fun" There will be other widely successful shows that are stupid filled with actors spending their money having "Too Much Fun" and producers who enable them until it affects the cash cow. Trust me on this. It's Hollywood. There is always three actors to one Charlie Sheen in Los Angeles California waiting for their chance to have *too much fun*.
Why don't they fire Chuck Lorre and get Charlie back? the show is stupid but it WAS wildly successful and made them a fortune, and the first episode back on the air would have ridiculous ratings!!
forget it......to little to late! Now that his tour is bombing, he thinks he should have his job back?? Producers would be A-Holes if they did!
I agree with Breanna; yet, I suspect that a portion of his crazy way, he's "acting". Be serious, Charlie, drop 20% of the acting portion and, then, talk to the Producers. You want the show to continue and so do the million of people who helped make the show the success that it is! J. Shamburg
Sooo... He's KIND of in his own crazy way admitting he needs help. And wants his show back
