\u201cIt never got there…but everything else.\u201d
\n\u2013 <\/em>Charlie Sheen<\/strong>, when answering Bill Maher<\/strong>\u2019s question about his role in gay sex \u2013

Violence is never the answer.  And I say that as someone with a big mouth (you\u2019re welcome).  If someone was going to be a target, I\u2019d be at the top of the list.  In 30 years, I\u2019ve pissed off just as many as I\u2019ve titillated.  I own that, and am happy to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune \u2013 as long as they aren\u2019t real arrows (real slings are fine).  I have taken issue with people and then run into them days later.  But you know what\u2019s never happened?  Nobody\u2019s ever taken a swing at me.  The most violent act was when a gay celebrity couple threw a dinner roll at me.  I mean \u2013 carbs!  For the most part, people are civilized.  Could we keep it that way?<\/p>\n

\"colorbar1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Which brings us to Tyler Perry<\/strong>.  I\u2019ve not had any major interaction with him, so there is nothing personal in this story.  We\u2019ve heard it all before.  Mogul meets hot cater waiter.  They exchange digits.  Cater waiter gets cast on the mogul\u2019s show.  Mogul makes a pass.  Waiter declines.  Waiter is killed off the show.  Nothing to see here \u2013 move along.  Still, you may ask if I have a problem with any of that?  Not really.  If everyone\u2019s getting what they want, great.  If someone isn\u2019t and they want to end the \u201cassociation\u201d, that\u2019s also fine with me.  Quid pro quo<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Since we\u2019ve discussed the specifics of this story before, why are we going into it again?  Because said waiter, Derek Dixon<\/strong>, did an interview with ABC<\/em> News <\/em>last week.  It doesn\u2019t sound like he\u2019s backing down or even considering a settlement.  He feels that he was sexually harassed on a job and is going forward with his suit.  How do I feel about that?  Again, fine with me.  If a line was crossed and he legally prove that, great.  But is it worth $260 million?  That\u2019s a whole lotta pigs in a blanket.  When asked how he came up with that amount, he said, \u201cPart of that number is my lost job, my lost income, the loss of the show.  The other part of that is a deterrent for…you know, how do you stop a billionaire who won\u2019t stop themselves from doing this.\u201d  Thank you, Derek, but you lost me at the word \u201cmillion\u201d.  I call that a money grab.  You got a job.  You got paid for the job.  You also got some additional \u201cperks\u201d.  You said no, and got fired.  If you want to sue to get what you would have been paid for another couple of seasons, fine.  $260 thousand sounds more reasonable to me.  But millions?  I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
