LOS ANGELES – Charlie Sheen is not done talking.

Amid high-profile interviews Monday that managed to upstage post-Oscars buzz, the "Two and a Half Men" star showed no signs of slowing his media blitz against the producers of his top-rated television comedy.

Television crews came and went from the actor's hilltop home — which he dubbed "Sober Valley Lodge" — the setting for segments scheduled to air on "Extra" and NBC's "Today" show.

Sheen told The Associated Press he wasn't satisfied with an agreement by Warner Bros. Television to pay the "Men" crew for only half of the eight episodes canceled when producers tired of their star's off-screen antics.

He called it "a start" and said his efforts "are paying off," but declared: "I won't sleep until I get all eight. I don't care about me right now."

He told the AP he planned to keep up his media blitz until the show's crew was paid for the rest of this season's shows. He also said getting compensation for series co-stars Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones was "next" on his to-do list.

Warner Bros. denied that anything Sheen had done — which included threatening to sue the show's producers and extolling the virtues of his hard-partying ways — contributed to the decision to pay the crew.
