Turns out that trashing a hotel room might be a good way to get a raise.

Instead of destroying his career, Charlie Sheen's drugged-up antics have his bosses jumping for joy and thinking that it will boost ratings on his long-running hit sitcom "Two and a Half Men."

"They're quietly thrilled," a network insider said. "They think it will open up the show to a whole new segment of young viewers, the 17-to-23 crowd. They feel like it's millions in free publicity."

Sheen's dad, Hollywood legend Martin Sheen, however, is not -- and is even weighing organizing a family intervention to try to get the troubled actor off booze, drugs and prostitutes, a source close to the family said.

In other Sheen news, the New York Post reports  porn star Capri Anderson is getting ready to drop a legal bomb on Sheen, suing him for the events that went down during his hotel meltdown, claiming that she felt her life was in danger ... and she also felt like she was being held in the room against her will.
