Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst has been accepted for a half-hour sitcom by CBS. The show will focus on a “rock legend looking for balance between his high-profile lifestyle and trying to raise a family.”

The script is being written by Matthew Carlson and Durst reunited with the original lineup of Bizkit earlier this year for a comeback, but it failed.

It was the season premiere that ate its competition: 28.7 million viewers for Two and a Half Men with its new star Ashton Kutcher. But Charlie Sheen, who was axed by his old CBS bosses, did just fine with record-breaking numbers over at Comedy Central, which aired the ex-star’s potty-mouth roast on the same night.

Stunningly, it was Charlie.

Here’s what two of Sheen’s old worker-bees had to say:

“[Ashton] is really a nice guy. Just a nice guy. And he’s OK on set. He gets the job done—that’s what we all want.”

If you’re thinking this a slightly less than glowing review, listen to how another former colleague of Charlie’s (who’s also still employed by the show), broke it down about Demi‘s husband:

“He’s just not as funny as Charlie. Not that we’d want Charlie back if you doubled our salaries.”

The Emmy-winning host has signed a new deal to return for two more seasons of TV’s longest-running hit reality competition series, which CBS just renewed for 2011-12. But is Probst still in talks to replace Regis Philbin? We have some answers, plus the rest of the news from TV world in today’s roundup…MORE: Glee-Dux: Who brought sexy back, and who stopped it dead in its tracks?

Before Piers Morgan replaced Larry King, Probst had been considered one of the candidates for the retired talk-show host’s job, and he is still being name-checked as a possible successor to Philbin, who is leaving Live With Regis and Kelly sometime this year.

CBS has not yet announced Survivor‘s next location (back-to-back seasons are now filmed at the same site), but fans can look forward to seeing Probst in his signature chambray shirt and khakis when the 23rd and 24th seasons air in fall 2011 and spring 2012.

1. Perfection? Pshaw! Sheen’s claim that he was still killing it at work no matter how little he rehearsed or how much he partied is absolute BS, according to Warner Bros. He had “difficulty remembering his lines and hitting his marks

2. We Prefer Our Stars Alive, Not Shooting:

3. Chatty Charlie: Sheen’s series of radio call-ins before the show was suspended turned up the heat, and his postsuspension interviews decimated the thin ice he was already on.

4. Section 12: While Sheen’s team, headed up by Singer, says it plans to go after CBS and Warner Bros. for breach of contract, they say they had every legal right to axe the star

5. Section 13: Sheen’s own admission that he’d only go back to work if the “turds” currently in charge were replaced and some major changes were made also violates Section 13b of his contract’s Standard Terms and Conditions, according to Warner Bros.

At long last, you can watch Dr. Frasier Crane on Netflix insantly

Netflix has signed a licensing deal with CBS, under which Netflix will now be able to provide popular CBS shows like “Frasier,” “Cheers,” “Medium,” and “Flashpoint” to its Watch Instantly streaming option.  The new content is scheduled to be available this upcoming April.
