Charlie Sheen...

[KingIsaacLinksr]

You couldn't pay me enough $$ to be associated with that show or anything similar of its kind.  I would never want it on my resume. 

King

I highly doubt that statement. I'm willing to bet that there is NO One on this board that wouldn't do the show for something as "little" as 40k and episode.

Show me someone willing to pass up that and I'll show you a fool. At 40k per ep, that more than a million a year. Hell, I'd do it for 10k and a trailer.

Then I'm a fool.  To me, there is more to life than $$ and yes, I would turn it down.  If anything, $$ has not brought me happiness yet, how would 40K per episode bring me any? 

King

[KingIsaacLinksr]

And yes, that statement has little weight, considering I will never be asked to be involved in that show ever (why would I?).  But I still stick by it.

Money hasn't done Charlie Sheen any favors either, it is partially responsible for him being able to afford his drug and alcohol and porn problems which has contributed to the train wreck that is his life, several divorces, arrests, assaults etc because of the above. All being equal more money would be great, if you didn't have the alcohol, drugs etc issues that he has, As far as I am concerned I don't think all the problems and issues he has is worth the money. Sometimes more money can lead to other problems that one wouldn't normally have otherwise. More money does not always guarantee more happiness in ones life either.

Aaaaand - he's fired:

What do you bet he sues for breach of contract.

[KingIsaacLinksr]

Wow that took cajones to fire him.  It'll be interesting to see how this ends...

NBC and Russell Dalrymple just called - they want to go with the pilot...even after the cleavage peek.

(sorry, couldn't resist the Seinfeld nod)

He says in his statement that he's glad he doesn't have to wear those shirts, i quite like those bowling style shirts. Bit of a rip off from Chandler, but "Hey Charlie, can i have your shirts".

[Pyrovile]

At the rate he's going I'll be amazed if he lives long enough to litigate.

I agree. I will not do anything for $$. I will not and never have sold my soul for $$. If that makes me a fool, then we need lots more of people that are willing to turn down money as it's does not buy happiness.....

No one asked you to sell your soul. King said they couldn't pay him enough to be associated with Two and a half men or anything like it. Are you saying that you wouldn't work on Two and a Half Men for no amount of money ever?

[X]

There is an old saying. "Anyone that thinks money can't buy happiness hasn't been spending it in the right place.". I totally agree. Having wealth enough to have zero debt, go on vacations with your loved ones when you want, pay off the parent's mortgages, not worrying about the bills.

I'm pretty sure that when you're rich and sad, it's still a lot better than being poor and sad.

Money is one of the primary tools in reaching happiness. Without money, any of those dreams that you are looking to reach are that much harder or out of reach.

Oh, that one strikes close to home and is so far OT I won't go into it, but I have certainly seen the opposite, trust me on this one.

[KingIsaacLinksr]

To answer your first question X, I wouldn't work for that show ever. 

And if I must live the rest of my life poor, at least I can live it knowing that I lived how I wanted.  I pity Sheen, he is surrounded by people that may not be his true friends and a broken family.  When the limelight disappears, I wonder what will happen to him.  I would never want his fate.  His fate that riches has a hand in.

Very good for them.  If they have to pay him off something - fine.  But if it was me running that show, I'd never let him back.  Too much bad blood has been shed.
