Charlie Sheen is losing and Warner Bros and CBS are winning because they officially fired him Two and a Half Men. WBTV released this statement, “After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on ‘Two and a Half Men,’ effective immediately.” And Sheen responded to TMZ by saying, “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 their bazillions, never have to look at whatshiscock again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension.” TMZ also posted the letter that was sent to Charlie Harper about his firing.
As of now, Warner Bros and CBS have not made a decision whether or not the show will go on without him but I think it will for at least one more season. Now it will be interesting to see who they get to replace him. Who do you want to movie in with Jon Cryer???
Two and a Half Men’s future is in questions, so CBS is looking at its options. One of the options is to replace Charlie Sheen and Jerry O’Connell’s secret audition was leaked on Funny Or Die.
Maybe CBS should just give the role to Rebecca Romijn since her current husband (Jerry) and her ex-husband, John Stamos are both the front runners for the role. Heck what about a sitcom with the three of them to replace 2.5 and call it One and Half Marriages?
Charlie Sheen has been bashing his Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre left and right and I have been wondering if he had gotten to him? Well the man who has the three of the top rated sitcoms on TV today, doesn’t seem to be letting it get to him because yesterday he attended the Venice Family Clinic Silver Circle 2011 Gala with a big smile a face. And while he was enjoying himself, we got to his enjoy his take on Sheengate in his Vanity Card at the end of Mike and Molly. So do you think Sheen won this match in the octagon? I think considering the actor is being considered beyond certifiable by some, the biggest joke since Mel Gibson and is basically out of a job? I say the man who still has two TV shows on the air is the winner. But I am hugely biased because I have a huge crush on Lorre!!!
BTW here is a fun way to watch Charlie Sheen’s rant as provided by Kimmel Kartoon on Jimmy Kimmel Live!!!

The Big Bang Theory’s Johnny Galecki and Simon Helberg were at the Montblanc Cocktail Party Co-Hosted By Harvey And Bob Weinstein and looking at the way Leonard is holding Howard’s stomach like that I have to wonder if they have something to tell us? Are Simon and his wife expecting a baby or is that how Johnny poses with all of his friends?
So you know what Charlie Sheen has been up to for the last few weeks and today the sh!t hit the fan. Sheen called into The Alex Jones Show (via THR)and bashed his Two and a Half Men boss Chuck Lorre.
Well Lorre and Warner Bros. have had enough of him and said, “Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen’s statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros TV have decided to discontinue production of Two and a Half Men for the remainder of the season.”
So Sheen responded to the news by writing this letter to TMZ:
What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows … I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can’t handle my power and can’t handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words — imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong.
Remember these are my people … not yours…we will continue on together…

And here is how Chuck Lorre responded to the whole situation in tonight’s censored Vanity Card:
It was more fun writing these things when I was fairly certain no one was reading them. That is no longer the case. These days it seems like every vanity card is getting scrutinized and criticized by network executives, corporate legal departments and publicity departments, TV journalists and tabloid bloggers. Believe it or not, my musings have been both cheered and jeered by TV Guide! But lately it’s gotten out of hand. Which is why I’ve decided to take a break for a few weeks. Let things cool off a little. Instead of writing short essays that upset people, I’ve decided to use my one second of network TV to do something simple and hassle-free. Starting with this card, I’m going to display a photograph of a part of my body that is entirely innocuous. No longer will I share some troublesome piece of my mind. Now I will share an actual piece of Chuck that is incapable of offending anyone. You know, a foot, a hand, or maybe a toe. So with that in mind, behold…
my knuckle.
When it comes to who won this fight, the answer is easily Chuck Lorre because he is still has two other comedies still on the air and I think Sheen is easily the loser because he is out almost $10 million for the 8 episodes that will not be produced because of all of this.
Although the real losers in all of this are the cast and crew of the show who were royally screwed by all of this. Money they were expecting to get from those 8 episodes is now not going to happen. Those are the people I feel bad for.
