Sheen 'wants Lorre, Moonves to call'

Charlie Sheen has used his appearance on Piers Morgan Tonight to appeal for senior staff involved with Two and a Half Men to contact him.

Sheen invited CBS president Les Moonves, Warner Bros president Bruce Rosenblum and the show's creator Chuck Lorre to phone him, claiming that he hadn't yet heard from them since news that production on the current season had been cancelled late last week.

"I would urge Les, Bruce, Chuck Lorre or anyone to call in while we're here," Sheen said.

He explained that his plea "isn't about me", but relates to his desire to see the show's crew receive full compensation.

He told Morgan: "[Today], we caught wind that they agreed to pay the crew for four episodes. That's okay, it's a start. I'm not stopping until they give them eight. Then, I'm gonna work on my cast, then I'm gonna finish with me."

Warner Bros confirmed earlier that it would pay the crew for the four remaining unproduced episodes of the season.
