Charlie Sheen Says 'Thank You' from Rehab

Yesterday, we reported that Charlie Sheen could be reporting back to work within the next couple of weeks. Today, we hear that the rehabbing star is feeling contrite. Sort of.In a statement released to the media by Sheen's publicist, Stan Rosenfeld, the actor said: "I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people. I want to say thank you to my fellow castmembers, the crew of 'Two and a Half Men' and everyone at CBS and Warner Bros., especially [CBS CEO] Les Moonves and [Warner Bros. TV President] Bruce Rosenblum for their concern and support."
Comparing himself to another infamous Hollywood hellraiser, Sheen continued: "And to my fans, your good wishes have touched me very much. Like Errol Flynn, who had to put down his sword on occasion, I just want to say, 'thank-you'."
However, E! Online reports that the statement was issued shortly after Sheen entered into a less-guarded interview via text with E! News.
Denying reports that his father, actor Martin Sheen, was seeking a legal conservatorship, he texted: "Believe nothing. I will never speak about any of this as long as I'm alive. You're all gonna have to keep towing the same redundant line, guessing wrong."
He also described the media interest in his private life as "pathetic," texting "BTW, two wars are in an endless state of sorrow. Egypt about burned to the ground, and all you people care about is my bullsh-t....?"
There have been several reports over the last few days that the crew on 'Two and a Half Men' are worried that any production shutdown could result in them losing out on some paychecks. Although no date's been given for Sheen's return to the set, if he does return to work in the next few weeks, there would be enough time for production to resume without any missed episodes or paychecks.
