Charlie Sheen Sacked! 1 and a half men left.
Tuesday 08 March 2011
After weeks of speculation, Warner Bros have finally issued a formal statement revealing that Charlie Sheen has been sacked from his U.S comedy show, ‘Two and a Half Men’.
The show, which premiered on American channel CBS in September 2003 is about hedonistic jingle writer Charlie (played by Sheen), his uptight brother, Alan; and Alan's growing son, Jake. It proved incredibly successful and saw Sheen earn $2m per show.
Sheen has been in rehab for drug abuse since January prompting the show to go on a hiatus; a decision that Sheen was unhappy with and he wasted no time in slamming the show’s producer Chuck Lorre as well as Network CBS and production company Warner Bros.
With alleged cocaine benders lasting in excess of 36 hours, holidaying with three women at a time and giving bizarre interviews in which Sheen disparages his former bosses, it’s no surprise Warner Bros issued a letter to the star firing him with references to his drug habit.
With the help of his lawyer, Marty Singer, Sheen plans to launch a lawsuit to sue Warner Bros for their ‘bazillions’ with Singer stating ‘Warner Bros. position is ridiculous,'
Singer told the website, RadarOnline. ‘We will proceed with our claims against Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros. Nothing has changed in terms of that.'
The case continues, watch this space!

RE: Charlie Sheen Sacked! 1 and a half men left.
I think all the years of drugs and drink binges have killed off his last remaining brain cells. He really does look awful in the current series being aired on comedy central at the moment and its obvious that his lifestyle has taken a terrible toll on his looks. Although he says he was still able to fulfill his acting commitments and although he was making Warner Bros billions, they obviously view him as a liabiity and are now willing to cut their losses. i do love the series, but haven't found this one to be particulary funny. I now feel sorry for the other actors in the show coz they also made it successful.

I agree, the others actors must be sooo pissed off with him! I love Alan as much as him, but just don't know if would work without him or via versa.
How stupid is he! He had everything going for him, looks, money, fame beautiful wives that he lost and young children that will probably soon left without a father,and he is blowing it all for drugs, what an idiot.
Thats what happens when you have too much. He came from a privileged background from the day was born and has had everything handed to him on a plate. If these spoilt idiots had to worry about keeping a roof over their families head, and putting food on the table,
maybe they would grow up and realise how bloody lucky they are.
