Charlie Sheen’s Picture Removed from CBS Studio Lot – New Season Plot Update

Poor Uncle Charley.

It’s seems that CBS called his bluff.

And today they made it official.

After announcing that Ashton Kutcher will be joining the cast starting next season, CBS and Warner Brothers made the first move in changing the shows external look. 

Maintenance workers removed the giant “Two and a Half Men” banner from the studios exterior and replaced it with a more generic banner.

We suspect as soon as CBS gets Ashton Kutcher cleaned up they will install a new banner showcasing the current cast including Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones.

And there is also a bit of news about the new seasons plot and how Sheen may be written out of the show.

TMZ says they talked with a production insider and the dirty deed may actually play off perfectly from the last show of last season.

This was the last episode Sheen filmed before going all tiger blood on us, where he had just purchased two tickets to Paris and was going to take Rose – and ask her to marry him.

Insiders say executive producer Chuck Lorre is planning to use the flight to Paris as the exit for Charley – and that it will NOT be a plane crash.

While subject to change, and it probably will, Uncle Charley just may decide to stay in Paris and say goodbye to Malibu.

There are still a few plot twists that need to be worked out like what happens to the beach house, and how does Rose get back to California while leaving Charley in France.

After all, the show will be better without Sheen but suck if Rose can’t still play in the sand box.

‘Two and a Half Men’ has 50/50 Chance of Returning Says CBS - Decision Soon.

CBS Network brass is still contemplating what to do with “Two and a Half Men”.

With television sweeps starting next month (May), and up-fronts looming, CBS has to make a decision on what to do with season 9 of the once golden sitcom – and fast.

Ever since Charlie Sheen was fired from the show there has been speculation it might return for another season – with or without Uncle Charlie Harper.

Since his firing, Sheen has been on the road with his “Violent Torpedo of Truth” tour and has been telling his audiences that he desperately wants back on the show.

Not so fast says the show’s production staff.

One insider says that there is a 50/50 chance the show will return for another season. And if it does return – there will be changes.

Here is what we know for sure:

- Charlie Sheen is not welcome back on the show.
- Executive producer Chuck Lorre has a plot workaround to either replace Sheen or write him out of the series.
- No official offers have been made to any new actors.
- A decision has to be made before May 18, 2011.
- CBS really does want to try and salvage the show

Chuck Lorre has been telling the media that he has several ideas on how to continue the show – one that increases Jon Cryer’s role, and another puts Ryan Stile’s “Herb Melnick” character in a lead role.

We have also heard a couple unofficial “plot” ideas, sans Charlie Sheen, that all include using the existing actors, sets, writers, and facilities. Seems like a smart idea to us.

Our favorite has Rose downsizing and buying Charlie’s house after he gets thrown in jail in Bangkok. She then allows recently thrown to the curb Herb Melnick to move in with her, Allen, and Jake. Even Berta likes the idea and agrees to stay on.

One insider told reporters,

“The idea would be Rose buys the house and lets Alan, Herb, and Jake live there. We call it ‘Two and a Half Men – and Rose’. There have been lots of variations but it always comes back to the same fundamental movement of actors and their roles. It would be easy – and funny.”

It does sound like a nice clean, and believable, transition that could actually propel the sitcom into a whole new direction – both retaining the old fans and creating new ones.

We say bring us “Two and a Half Men & Rose”

Soul of the Island: The Culture and Wisdom of Rose Nadler in Lost by Pearson Moore

Her wisdom was not our wisdom.

Rose’s wisdom was greater than Jack’s, for she possessed it prior to his enlightenment. Greater even than Locke’s, because it guided her actions before fate brought her to the Island.

Our wisdom is logical. It tells us Rose had cancer, the Island cured her cancer, therefore Rose must stay on the Island. Rose’s wisdom was not confined by anything as crude as logic. Her wisdom told her violent people have a disease worse than cancer, violent people inhabited the Island, therefore Rose had to leave the Island.
Rose followed Jack but she did not follow him off the Island. She stayed. Of the seventy-one who survived Oceanic Flight 815, in fact, only two individuals never left the Island: Rose and Bernard Nadler.

She wanted to go, but decided to stay. She rejected Locke, yet no one was closer to him in the end. Her wisdom is not of the Island, yet she is soul of the Island. She is a bundle of contradictions—if we understand her through our wisdom. The most fascinating story of LOST is reduced to this strange truth: There are no contradictions. Rose Nadler never wavered.
