Charlie Sheen Officially Fired From 'Two and a Half Men'

By PopEater Staff Posted Mar 7th 2011 04:52PM

Charlie Sheen may be winning, but he just lost his contract with Warner Bros Television.

"After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen's services on 'Two and a Half Men' effective immediately,' a statement from the company read (via The Hollywood Reporter).

Sheen himself responded to TMZ, in typical Sheen fashion. "This is very good news. 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 whatshisc--k again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension."

Update: TMZ just obtained a copy of the termination letter sent to Sheen's attorney by Warner Bros.. The letter stated the actor was fired because he committed a felony involving "moral turpitude." The 11-page letter also said: "Your client has been engaged in dangerously self-destructive conduct and appears to be very ill."

As for the absolute reason why Sheen was fired, the letter states it was due to Sheen selling "cocaine to others as part of the self-destructive lifestyle he has described publicly... that have 'interfere[d] with his ability to fully and completely render all material services required' under the agreement."

Sheen told TMZ that he's not buying it and plans to sue Lorre and Warner Bros. He believes they fired him because he insulted Lorre--which they technically can't do.

According to TMZ, the decision to cancel the series entirely, or bring it back in the fall, has not been made.

This is just another twist and turn in the Sheen saga that has erupted over the past few weeks. After his hospitalization led to a postponement of taping 'Men,' the troubled actor went on several radio shows to vent his displeasure -- ultimately insulting his boss Chuck Lorre, prompting CBS and Warner Bros. to cancel the rest of the season.

Then Charlie continued his media blitz with appearances on '20/20,' 'The Today Show' and even a live chat with TMZ and made several quotable quips about warlocks, Adonis DNA, tiger's blood and winning.

During this time, Sheen also turned to Twitter, becoming the fastest person to ever earn 1 million followers, and even set up an Internet chat with UStream, naming his show 'Sheen's Korner.'

jaguar8450, the show was on top of the ratings after EIGHT seasons, not your 4 to 6 seasons. This country has a track record of being obsessed with train wrecks which is exactly what Sheen is. The ratings would have been even higher when he came back. Whether you like or approve of him, he still would have drawn millions to the TV screen. He will be back and he WILL have the last laugh.

Now King Troll can live in his Skank palace with his harem of skanks and they can all self destruct together. He does'nt think he needs his family right now except for the skank family he created. I bet things will be different when his druggie lifestyle catches up with him and he winds up in a nursing home..drooling and in diapers. And those low lifes hanging around him for the money and 'fame' will be long gone. What an idiot. I feel sorry for his kids.

There is no show without Charlie-it's as simple as that!

By TER BEAR

I THINK THAT THE SHOW WILL DO JUST FINE WITHOUT HIM.
THEY COULD HAVE A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM AND CALL THE FIRST EPISODE...INTERCEPTION...

THE FIRST SHOW OF THE FALL SEASON SHOULD BE HIS BROTHER WAKING FROM SLEEP IN HIS BED. HE LIKES SCREAMS AND WAKES....EVERYONE RUNS INTO THE BEDROOM...OR THE LIVING ROOM COUCH...AND THE BROTHER SAYS...OMG! I HAD THAT NIGHTMARE AGAIN. JAKE, BERTA, MOTHER AND SEVERAL OTHERS WERE THERE. BUT CHARLIE WAS CHARLIE BUT NOT CHARLIE...(THE WAY BECKY WAS EXPLAINED FROM ROSEANNE)
SO THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE LAST 9 YEARS....THEN JOHN STAMOS COULD WALK IN AND SAY...OH GEEZE...NOT WITH THAT FREAKING DREAM AGAIN!!!

OH YEAH...THIS IS LIKE THE DREAM EPISODE FROM DALLAS....IT WOULD SO CAMPY AND FUNNY....LOLOLOL

What's really bad is before all of this I had no idea Charlie Sheen was working or on a tv show. Shows what I know.

I thought the show was wonderfully funny, and Charlie Sheen was a part of that fun. Both sides (Sheen's and CBS') are very angry. I hope everyone calms down, and the show can go on with all of the original cast.
