Charlie Sheen Fired From "Two and a Half Men"

Warner Bros. has made the decision to fire Charlie Sheen from TV’s Number 1 comedy “Two and a Half Men.”

“After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on ‘Two and a Half Men’ effective immediately,” Warner Bros. said in an email statement.

Sheen responded to the news of his job loss in a statement to TMZ.com:

“This is very good news,” he said. “They continue to be in breach, like so many whales. It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of the bazillions, never have to look at [expletive] again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension.”

Since 2003, Sheen had starred in the sitcom as Charlie Harper, a playboy who mimicked Sheen’s real life persona. Last year he raked in $2 million per episode.

“Two and a Half Men” went on hiatus in January following Sheen’s hospitalization and return to rehab. Sheen slammed the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre, Warner Bros. and CBS in a series of recent interviews, claiming he’s ready to return to work and will sue for being barred from the show.

Since CBS and Warner Bros. canceled the remainder of “Two and a Half Men’s” season, Sheen has been everywhere, coining catchphrases in TV sit-downs (“winning,” “tiger blood,” “adonis DNA”), tweeting about his philosophies and live-streaming his life online.

Over the weekend, Sheen launched a web show on Ustream called “Sheen’s Korner.” Though Sheen quickly gained 1 million followers on Twitter in 24 hours, his online show only drew in 150,000 viewers.

Looks to me like Sheen isn’t winning!
