This week Charlie Sheen, the highest paid actor on network television, said that after seven years, he's ready to move on from Two And A Half Men.
And why not?
His recent run in with the law for alleged domestic abuse for choking and hitting his wife is generating the kind of publicity for him we haven't seen since he had Heidi Fleiss on speed dial. You can't blame him for wanting to strike while the iron's hot.
Okay, bad choice of words.
But it's pretty clear his statement was the first step in preparing both the network and the audience for his post TAAHM career.
The second was his new headshot.
