Charlie Sheen Turns Anger Toward Jon Cryer Now But Wait Till “Two and a Half Men” Hires New Lead

(HMG Celebrity News) – I was just reading where it looks like “Two and a Half Men” is likely to continue without Charlie Sheen, and was thinking how that should give him lot’s of fuel for his ongoing hyper-manic rage.  Although executives at CBS and Warner Bros. had no public comments on “Two and a Half Men” and its future Tuesday, rumor is they intend to hire a new lead actor soon, while publicity is at it’s peak.  While John Stamos was rumored last week to be in talks to replace the actor, “Parks and Recreation” star Rob Lowe is reportedly the new favorite to replace television’s highest-paid actor.

TMZ says show creator Chuck Lorre has been holding internal meetings about keeping the show going.  Various options have been discussed, and they have a short list of replacements for Charlie’s character.  TMZ points out that there are two stumbling blocks for Rob to accepting the role, one being he is currently tied up with “Parks and Recreation,” and he grew up with the Sheen family.

Meanwhile Charlie is busy being mad at his former co-star Jon Cryer for not supposedly calling to support him.

“Jon has not called me,” Sheen told E! Online. “He’s a turncoat, a traitor, a troll… Is it going to take me calling him a ‘traitor, juvenile and scared’ for him to get it?”

Sheen, praised his other co-stars and director because they have reached out to him. Actors Angus T. Jones (nephew), Conchata Ferrell (Berta the housekeeper), Melanie Lynskey (Rose the neighbor), Marin Hinkle (Judith Harper) and show director Jamie Widdoes, are “not trolls,” he said.
What if Cryer contacted him now? “What’s there to say? I’ll tell him, ‘You’re a little late. Goodbye, troll,” the 45-year-old actor said.

“When I’m starring in multimillion-dollar films and he’s begging me for a supporting role, I’ll say, ‘You left me out in the cold with all of your guilt and stupidity,’” he concluded.

A a source close to Cryer tells E! Online that Cyrer and Sheen have communicated and that Cryer did reach out to Sheen, but that out of respect, Cryer was not going to comment publicly.

Don’t worry though if “Two and a Half Men” gets back on the air with a new lead, Charlie is going to have plenty of people to rage against.  The fact is though he should be angry at himself.
