Charlie Sheen, star of CBS’ Two and a Half Men entered a rehab center Tuesday as a “preventative measure,” according to Sheen’s spokesman, Stan Rosenfield. The statement further said Sheen would take some time off from the series but no timeline was released. Filming on episode 19 was scheduled for this week, making the sitcom six episodes shy of its 24-episode order for this seventh season. A joint statement from Nina Tassler, President/CBS Entertainment, Peter Roth, President, Warner Bros. Television and Creator/Executive Producer of the show Chuck Lorre said “CBS, Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre support Charlie Sheen in his decision today to begin voluntary in-patient care at a treatment center. We wish him nothing but the best as he deals with this personal matter. Production on ‘Two and a Half Men’ will be temporarily suspended.” Sheen was recently charged with felony menacing following a Christmas Day altercation with his wife, actress Brooke Mueller.

Pernell Roberts, 81, best-known for his stint as Adam Cartwright on Bonanza, died Sunday of cancer at home in Malibu. As one of the Cartwright brothers, Pernell stayed with Bonanza for six seasons, opting to leave the show in 1965. Pernell’s departure from Bonanza, after fulfilling his initial six-year contract, shocked Hollywood and many thought his career would be forever hurt as a result of leaving a top-rated show at the pinnacle of its popularity. For the next 14 years, Pernell made numerous appearances on TV shows including The Virginian, Hawaii Five-O and Mission Impossible among others. He also toured with theatrical musicals The King and I, Camelot and The Music Man. In 1979, Pernell was cast in the title role of series Trapper John, M.D., a spin-off of MASH. The series was on the air until 1986. Later, Pernell was host and narrator for the TV series FBI: The Untold Stories from 1991-1993.

Continuing the shake-up at NBC concerning its recent late-night programming announcement, Conan O’Brien released a statement yesterday denouncing NBC’s plans to move The Tonight Show to begin at 1205a following The Jay Leno Show which would switch to 1135p. In his rather long statement addressed to “People of Earth,” O’Brien is forthright in saying he will not continue as host of The Tonight Show under these terms and also declares he has no other offers to jump to a different network. O’Brien’s full statement is as follows:

“Last Thursday, NBC executives told me they intended to move the Tonight Show to 12:05 to accommodate the Jay Leno Show at 11:35. For 60 years the Tonight Show has aired immediately following the late local news. I sincerely believe that delaying the Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn’t the Tonight Show. Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the Late Night show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.

 “So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of The Tonight Show. But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the Tonight Show, I believe nothing could matter more.

“There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next. My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.

“Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it’s always been that way.”

Yours,
Conan
