An insider tells Popeater that the reason Charlie Sheen is suing CBS and Warner Bros. and why he joined Twitter to do paid tweets is because he’s “cash poor” and “desperately needs the money to maintain his vast, complicated estate.” Apparently addicts aren’t good at money management. Weird.
The source claims most of Charlie’s funds are tied up in property or business dealings and that he needs cold hard cash. The $16 million he’s suing CBS for should help. Charlie says he has a “Michael J. Fox” clause in his contract that allows him to keep earning money from the show even after he leaves. And if the rumors of the show continuing with Rob Lowe are true, he wants his money.
Joining Twitter won’t help either. A recent report claimed Charlie was paid the highest of any celebrity, five figures, to endorse internship.com which he’s using to find anyone brave enough and dumb enough to work for him.
Five figures can’t even buy one goddess let alone two. He’s going to have to find another way to convince them to stay. Which is what that machete is for. According to an ancient saying, “where begging and pleading fail, a big f**king knife won’t.”
