Video: Scoop: Charlie Sheen ready to walk?

  1. Closed captioning of: Scoop: Charlie Sheen ready to walk?

    >>> actors. the scoop from pop culture columnist courtney hazlett, i saw the headline yesterday and i said that's what we'll talk about tomorrow.

    >> a story broke, it was reported he was not return to two and a half men. the statement was carefully worded. he said charlie's deal does not extend through the year. what does it really mean? it's probably just a bargaining chip. the network has this show, "two and a half men" scheduled to run through the 2011 season. charlie's deal doesn't extend that long. currently he makes almost $900,000 per 30-minute episode. sources are saying he would like some more money. the network reportedly has offered him something closer to a million dollars. he's not taking it. to put some of this in perspective, if you recall "friends" the very successful nbc show, the cast was making a million dollars each per episode. more recently ray romano was making close to $2 million per episode. this is a precedent, a huge show for cbs . they don't want to have to rename it one and a half men. i have a feeling they will come to an agreement and we'll see it back last fuel.

    >> it does seem the show is about him regardless of his personal news.

    >> better news, sat night live news. april 24th , gabourey sidibe will be hosting, that's only if they survive april 109 when tina fey and justin beber will be there. i think the fever is escalating around these parts. we'll see how we make it through that weekend. people are excited about her coming on the 249.

    >>> finally this weekend at the movie theater , big, big weekend . huge 3d movie , " clash of the titans " i'm expecting that to be number one at the box office .

    >>> who is in that? is it the event of the movie itself?

    >> it's the event of the movie. it's a remake of a famous movie with harry hamlin . with the 3d premium, it doesn't matter how many people don't see it, because these ticket prices are so expensive now, other big releases like this weekend's "why did i get married 2" doesn't stand a chance, even though that tyler perry franchise is so strong. they have the whole cast back from the original "why did i get married" janet jackson is in it and she and tyler perry have been promoting the heck out of the movie. it's still not going to stand up well. give it a run for the money is "the last song".

    >> is that finally out? i feel like i've been seeing that for a long time.

    >> we see her all the time. this is her film, which has nothing to do with her hannah montana character. this is an interesting foray into can miley really be an actress. that's what she says she wants. the buzz is she's good despite the screen play . according to most of the critics, i have not seen it yet, she didn't have a lot to work with but she holds her own.

    >> you mentioned gabourey sidibe. everybody loves this girl. does she have a project coming up? is she working on something now?

    >> once under the circumstances the type of box office exposure she got, you tend to get a lot of other offers. nothing i know of that she's signed on for right now. i think it's going to be great to see her outside of this "precious" role. i got to see her at an award, because mo'nique got so much attention, you didn't get to see her be herself. i thought, this is a fantastic young woman . i wish we had heard more from her and her personality before now. a lot of people saying she could be typecast because of her role and her weight, this will be a fantastic opportunity.
