Report: Rep Says Sheen Wants To Return To Work In Late February

Just a week into rehab, Charlie Sheen is already making plans to return to work. A rep for the "Two and a Half Men" star says Sheen plans to return to the comedy series in late February. The 45-year-old actor entered rehab last Friday, one day after he was hospitalized for what his rep later said was a painful hernia. In the leadup to his hospitalization, Sheen had reportedly played host to a marathon party session at his home. CBS suspended production on "Two and a Half Men" after the actor entered rehab treatment. The network has not commented on Sheen's schedule or his plans. According to "The Hollywood Reporter, CBS has ordered additional episodes of two of its other half-hour comedies -- "Rules of Engagement" and "Mike & Molly" -- to fill the "Two and a Half Men" gap if necessary.

Sheen issued a statement on Wednesday thanking his fans, his co-workers, and CBS executives for their support during this time. This current stint in rehab is the actor's third in the past 12 months.
