Charlie Sheen's 'Today Show' & TMZ Interviews Lead To Publicist Stan Rosenfield Quitting

Guess he's not on the drug called Charlie Sheen. Probably for the best.

Charlie Sheen's publicist, Stan Rosenfield, has quit his long-time job, citing Sheen's increasingly erratic and bizarre behavior and public statements. The final straw seemed to be Sheen's appearances Monday on "The Today Show," in which he vowed to battle CBS violently and demanded a raise for his postponed show, "Two and a Half Men," and then his long, unwieldy backyard appearance with TMZ.

"I worked with Charlie Sheen for a long time and I care about him very much, however, at this time, I'm unable to work effectively as his publicist and have respectfully resigned," Rosenfield said in a statement to TMZ.

Afterward, of course, Sheen struck back, saying, "P**sy. He's not allowed to quit, so you're fired."

Well then.

Sheen had commented on Rosenfield's efforts in the interview with the website, crediting him for doing his best when he issued a statement saying that Sheen was hospitalized for an "allergic reaction" in November. In reality, Sheen said he was asleep when the statement went out thanks to Ambien, and only went to the hospital because the police threatened him with jail otherwise.

Sheen's interviews last week probably didn't help; talking to Alex Jones, he called out AA, said he cleansed himself in a nanosecond, lived a b**chin' rockstar life and called out "Two and a Half Men" producer Chuck Lorre.

This, of course, comes after cocaine and porn star-filled weekends and near overdoses, so that probably didn't help with Sheen's image, either.

Charlie Sheen's publicist did about as good as a job as George Bush's speechwriter.

Well, it takes Superman to squeeze coal into diamond, so, maybe we shouldn't judge either of those people too harshly. Look at what they had to work with.

Charlie Sheen has definitely burned his brain with drugs and alcohol. He needs to be evaluated for the looney bin. He's a very sick man and needs someone to take charge of him and his actions. Put him where he can't do any damage. I think he's a time bomb waiting to explode even more.

Sounds like Corey Haim is going to have some company before long.

I hear he's being considered for the lead role in "Three and a Half Mile Island--the Musical."

Everyone has to stop giving Charlie Sheen a chance to speak. Seriously. Someone be a hero and say "no" if feeling the urge to pass him a microphone.

Stop giving? More like milking ratings and views from a trainwreck. Sheen isn't the only sick person in this situation http://bit.ly/hhuxuN

I'd heard someone on TV suggest replacing him with Christian Slater...why not? He hasn't really done anything for a while and he's essentially Charlie Sheen's doppelganger as far as the walk the talk and the smug self importance. Nobody would know the difference...and wait a minute...they have the same initials too... (insert Twilight Zone theme)

His publicist can only blame it on 'Bieber Fever' for so long...

Meanwhile, all the other publicists have put Sheen's phone number on call-block.

This story is quickly becoming a convenient diversion for the news agencies to take their eyes off the nation wide labor protests. I have no doubt this will get far more coverage than 100,000 people protesting in Madison.

What an embarrassment our media is.

Waste of time. He has a great job and instead drinks and snorts his way to an implosion. No one is doing him any favors by publicizing his tirades. Ignore him until he gets his act together. The same for Miss Lohan.

If this is how he is sober I prefer him him to be on drugs. What a train wreck.
