Charlie Sheen Enters Rehab, 'Two and a Half Men' on Hiatus
Troubled 'Two and a Half Men' star Charlie Sheen has entered rehab, causing his CBS sitcom to extend its production hiatus."He is most grateful to all who have expressed their concern," Sheen's spokesman told The Hollywood Reporter. "Mr. Sheen asks that his privacy be respected at this time and that no additional informational will be provided."
CBS released a statement saying the show's production will go on hiatus. "Due to Charlie Sheen's decision to enter a rehabilitation center, CBS, Warner Bros. Television and executive producer Chuck Lorre are placing 'Two and a Half Men' on production hiatus. We are profoundly concerned for his health and well-being, and support his decision."
Sheen was released from the hospital last night after being treated for severe abdominal pain, though the actor reportedly received a briefcase full of cocaine at his home during a wild party the night before he was rushed to the hospital.
Earlier this month CBS President Nina Tassler said she had a "high level of concern" for the actor, and yesterday THR reported that network executives have been trying to get Sheen to enter rehab for a while, even coming up with contingency plans in case they had to shoot without him.
