Here's a selection of Charlie Sheen links from the weekend through Monday morning. Wiretap wishes you a winning week.

RadarOnline is reporting that a production source indicates a "secret compromise deal" is being suggested which could see CBS and Warner Bros. TV install a new head writer/producer to oversee "Two and a Half Men," thereby clearing the way for Sheen to return to work. The new writer/producer in question is said to be Don Reo, of whom Sheen is reportedly a "big fan."

"It's been suggested that a compromise deal could be struck: Reo could take on the main role and essentially become a point person for Charlie, ensuring he avoids the regular contact he once had with Chuck Lorre," the Radar source said.
