Charlie Sheen filed a $100,000,000 lawsuit against Warner Bros. and Chuck Lorre on Thursday (March 10th). TMZ.com reported that Sheen is demanding payment for the eight episodes of Two and a Half Men that were canceled this season — as well as payment for the cast and crew. He is also asking for punitive damages.
Sheen’s lawyer Marty Singer wrote in the lawsuit, “Chuck Lorre, one of the richest men in television who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, believes himself to be so wealthy and powerful that he can unilaterally decide to take money away from the dedicated cast and crew of the popular television series, ‘Two and a Half Men,’ in order to serve his own ego and self-interest, and make the star of the Series the scapegoat for Lorre’s own conduct.”
Justin Bieber almost got arrested — for causing a riot! The pop star was holed up in his hotel in Liverpool, England as a mob of screaming fans waited outside. Police warned Justin that it could turn into a possible riot situation and advised him to stay inside. Justin tweeted that he was upset that he couldn’t show love to his fans. He tweeted, “i cant even say hi to my fans outside cuz of the police. some bull. trying to work it out so i can say whatup to my fans.”
Eventually, once the Liverpool police believed that they could contain the mob, Justin was allowed to go on his balcony and wave at the fans surrounding his hotel.
