Charlie Sheen had his second night in a row of doing press for Scary Movie 5 Thursday evening. He followed up his Jay Leno appearance with a stop by Conan where he also promoted Anger Management (again.) This is the actor’s first time coming back to the Warner Bros. lot since being fired from Two and a Half Men, thus the grandiose entrance after the jump. Continue Reading

Anger Management airs Thursday nights of FX.
The cable channel has just revealed that they will be airing 45 episodes a year with almost every Thursday night featuring a new episode for the next two years. That’s right. By time 2015 hits, the world will see 100 installments of Charlie Sheen’s Two and a Half Men follow-up. FX Chief John Landgraf made the announcement earlier today at TCA. Continue Reading
Naturally, this is the primary draw to the actor’s new movie A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III from Roman Coppola who is best known as a second unit director with credits on that end inclusive of The Darjeeling Limited and Lost in Translation. That should explain the cast list that surrounds the former Two and a Half Men star as Bill Murray, Aubrey Plaza, Patricia Arquette, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Katheryn Winnick are also on board. Go ahead and take a look at the premiere trailer which just hit the web. Continue Reading
Less than two months out from the return of Anger Management to FX and on the heels of a 90-episode order for the series, Charlie Sheen has seen fit to casually extend an offer to his former co-star to join the program saying, “My former nephew is welcome at the Goodson Anger Management home anytime.” He would be the second high-profile addition to the show since its inception as Charlie’s own father Martin Sheen has been added in a recurring role near the end of the show’s first season. Continue Reading
Of course, FX will have first run priority and will not be obligated to air all those installments at once, but considering that the goal was to build a block of repeat comedy programming, they might just surprise us and air something in the realm of 20+ episodes a year. That is just speculation though as the real details today come after the jump via an official press release. Continue Reading
Today we focus on Charlie’s most recent talk show interview where he addressed the rumors that he may become an American Idol judge. Much to our amusement, the actor never even heard from the reality series’ producers in the first place making this purely a piece of tabloid fiction. He reportedly thought it was wise to send out his terms to the press anyways just in case the folks at Fox wanted to buy in, but ultimately it sounds like a horrible idea so this should put those rumors to bed.

Charlie Sheen took to The Tonight Show Wednesday evening. The actor was on the program to promote his on-going second season of Anger Management as well as his small supporting role in Friday’s release Scary Movie V. He and Lindsay Lohan were used mostly as marketing tools for the slapstick horror comedy’s return to the silver screen. The question now lies with whether or not the audience will return based on what they have seen so far. Historical box office revenue for the franchise’s opening weekend is near $40 million–something analysts expect to be halved thanks to a seven-year layover and the absence of Anna Faris. 
Lindsay Lohan has already grabbed herself another gig to follow-up the almost assuredly disappointing movie The Canyons. The actress will be reuniting with Scary Movie 5 cameo artist Charlie Sheen in the sitcom star’s FX comedy Anger Management. This role is said to be that of love interest following an initial stint as Charlie’s patient. So what do we think of LiLo the sitcom star? Well, it could not possibly be as bad as her dramatic vehicles so why not? Oh, and let’s not forget there’s a double end to all this. Anger Management has only had so-so ratings as of late which is what happens when you’re a multi-camera sitcom airs on a network known for its single-camera dramas. Repeats should loom large, but this might give the show just the type of boost it needs to keep rolling in originals.
Charlie Sheen visited The Tonight Show last night, perhaps to bolster the sagging ratings of his FX comedy Anger Management in addition to promotion for Charles Swan. The show is in the midst of its 45-episode second season which will air pretty much non-stop until the next year, but Nielsen data communicated a lack of enthusiasm for the CBS-style comedy even with the full-time addition of his real-life father Martin Sheen. Hopefully Leno helps because if not, those super low licensing fees will look like even less of a bargain to the program’s cable home going forward. 
It looks like audiences will have their pick of two Paranormal Activity parody movies next year as the first trailer for Scary Movie 5 reveals that the found-footage property plays big to the film’s central plot. While the fifth installment of this slapstick comedy series also pokes fun at a handful of other big screen offerings, the lack of the R-rating might make this a second tier offering to Marlon Wayans’ A Haunted House which 
As expected, FX went through with the 90-episode order of Anger Management they were on the hook for as it was announced today that the show has met the obligated ratings goal to trigger the deal. What this means is that Lionsgate will move forward with supplying some 40 episodes a year to the cable network and presumably start working out broadcast syndication deals.
Less than two weeks ago, it was announced that 
Charlie Sheen has had no problems bringing in people he has known or worked with in the past for his new FX series. This was best evidenced when even his ex-wife Denise Richards showed up for an episode earlier this season, but what we are hearing today is a bit beyond that. Word is that Charlie’s real life father Martin Sheen has been set to become a series regular as the actor’s on-screen father.
