Charlie Sheen's arbitration injunction rebuffed
(CBS) Private arbitration between Charlie Sheen, "Two and a Half Men" co-creator Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros. will continue, a judge has decided.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, attorneys for Sheen had filed for an emergency restraining order Wednesday morning to get an injunction against the arbitration. A judge denied the injunction.

Warner Bros. started arbitration against Sheen before he filed the $100 million lawsuit against the studio and Lorre, reports THR. It is yet to be determined whether an arbitration clause in Sheen's contract means that all disputes between Sheen, Lorre and Warner Bros. will be private.
THR reports that Sheen wants the proceedings public - i.e., in court, where they can be heard by anyone - and the ruling by a judge Wednesday morning kicks the matter to Judge Allan Goodman, who's presiding over Sheen's lawsuit.
Sheen's attorney, Marty Singer, told THR he'll be in court Thursday to ask Goodman for an injunction against arbitration.
