People Magazine broke a rumor Thursday claiming Charlie Sheen is considering leaving CBS’ hit comedy “Two and a Half Men.”<\/p>\n
According to sources, Sheen has said that he is tired of his work on the show and “wants to move on.”<\/p>\n
\u201cCharlie\u2019s just done,\u201d said the People source. \u201cAnd he\u2019s quietly telling his friends he\u2019s not coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those who do not believe this is a mere April Fools joke believe Sheen’s sentiment is simply a public attempt to negotiate for a better contract. Though “Men” is picked up through a ninth season, Sheen’s deal currently expires at the end of the current season, its seventh.<\/p>\n
TMZ additionally noted that sources from the show are “laughing” at reports that Sheen might leave.<\/p>\n
Said the TMZ source, “This deal will be made at midnight on the day CBS announces its new fall schedule. Everyone plays the brinksmanship game.”<\/p>\n
According to TMZ, Sheen wants his current fee of $825,000 an episode to be raised to $1.5 million an episode through the 2011-12 season. Producing studio WB’s offer is reportedly $1 million per segment.<\/p>\n
Neither CBS nor WB have commented on the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
