• While Charlie Sheen is the focus of an upcoming Comedy Central roast, the actor hopes that it’s his old network, CBS, that gets skewered on Sept. 19. As previously reported, Sheen’s roast will air the same night that “Two and a Half Men” returns to TV for its Sheen-free debut — and that’s no coincidence. "This is Charlie getting the last laugh,” a source close to the actor told PopEater. “He doesn't care what they say about him at the roast as long as the show kills CBS in the ratings. Charlie has a thick skin and can laugh at himself but if you hurt him, like he thinks ("Men" creator) Chuck Lorre did, then he doesn't forget."

The 'Glee' writers like his Sam character, and have plans to write for him. He and his reps have been told that he is welcome back to 'Glee,' and everyone hopes he will show up on Aug. 10 when filming begins.”
