Charlie Sheen’s New Gig

It’s official: Charlie Sheen is set to star in “Anger Management,” a new sitcom loosely based on the 2003 film of the same name, Lionsgate said. Reports about the project have been swirling for weeks but its producers did not confirm it until now. Lionsgate said Sheen will retain a significant ownership stake in the series about a mild-mannered, non-confrontational man who is ordered to attend group anger management sessions led by a therapist who could probably use some anger management himself. No word on which network it will air on.
