Maybe the fact that they just announced FIRING him about 90 minutes ago?

Remember, they'd only suspended production until now.

I'd love to see those million people who so quickly 'followed' him on Twitter, to collectively click at an appointed time to 'unfollow' him.

Raise the man up and drop him as quickly!!! He'd then b|tch about that too as everytime someone says something negative, they are on his hit list. He truly needs to have his ego deflated.

GOOD! Now will the media whores quit shoving this pitful loser in front off our faces...?

Never saw any of these shows.

Now I will have to look for a rerun somewhere............. Maybe.

Naaahhh.

Two Million per episode .... and he want three? ... Must be a tough life & a lot of hard work ...

most Americans can only dream about a fair working wage, much less a raise from two million to three million dollars .... for a few days work ..

And if YOU were the one who was funny enough to make a sitcom #1 for 7 years running, you probably wouldn't blink at taking $2-3M per episode either. Those who've got it, flaunt it. Those who don't got it, want it.

That is still a ridiculous sum of money.

I think Robert Downey or Brendan Frasier would make a great replacement.

Trust me, Phydeux, whatever Charlie Sheen has, I don't want. Although I don't doubt it's horribly contagious. Woof, woof.....

Am I the only one who see's it this way . . . he thinks he is Charlie Harper . . . his character in the show . . .

Exactly! Only we squirm with disbelief at Charlie Harper, the morally debased character, not admire him. I hope he gets help, but he is out of touch with his own identity as a responsible human being.

I read Warner's 11 page letter to which was attached 10 pages of publicity issued by Charlie Sheen. 10 PAGES IS A LOT!

Nonetheless, my prediction is that Sheen will be paid for the remaining 8 episodes and the attorney who drafted Sheen's agreement WILL BE REASSIGNED.

Warner DID NOT have a clear cut reason for termination (in accordance with his contract anyway) based on my read of Warner's letter.

Maybe All this notoriety would make his show even more popular is debatable. Sheen is a Druggy and getting $1,800,000 PER episode is a Dream which HE scuttled.... Robert Downey Jr. went through this SAME scenario; got the Right Judge, Trial and Jail time and look at Iron Man Now!!! Well Done Robert!!! Charlie?? Pay Attention!!!!!!!

What happened to Charlie Sheen was Supposed to.

Oh, And Charlie, Don't even Snurffle Think about suing CBS and Your Producer, 'Cause You're gonna Lose BIG TIME!!! Take Your Money and RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The people who think Charlie will lose the case are definitely not legal professionals nor Hollywood insiders.

PoorBaby: Because - just look at the number of posts in response and then try to estimate how many non-posters have looked in vicarious pleasure at the self destruction of an over-indulged and over-indulgent sociopath, euphemistically lapping up the spilled blood of yet another failed child of privilege.

it is about time that producers showed some of these actors that entertaining is the occupation they chose, and as in any job, if you behave badly or use drugs and are a falling down drunk....you will get fired!

Hope the show survives without him.

I don't think you understood what you read if you read the letter or the contract. I doubt Charlie's contract is online and if it is....

Nonetheless, I read the letter to Charlie's lawyer and know that the terms they cited MEANS THEY ARE GRASPING AT STRAWS for grounds to fire him. "Force majeure?" - PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ME LAUGH.

Charlie's lawyer pretty much laughed at the letter and I did too.

Hope the show survives without him.

Charlie Sheen WAS the show. Without him, there is no show. Whether you all want to admit it or not, Charlie Sheen is a damn good actor.

And like most actors, he's a little eccentric.

What a penis Sheen turned into.

MAN HE IS SOOOO HIGH!

Charlie Sheen is a damn good actor????? He was portraying the PG-13 version of his own life. How is that acting? The only major roll he had that was worth noting was Platoon and that was a long long time ago. Other than that, he has been in a lot of crap. Don't get me wrong, it was money making crap like Hot Shots but not something to brag about at an Oscar's after party.

The big winner will be his attorney because not only will he have this lawsuit with CBS/Warner, I'm betting that the goddesses will come up with something. He still has the hotel incident with the porn actress and everyone else will start crawling out of the woodwork. If it was just the women he could hang with Tiger Woods but the drugs and alcohol will make it really tough to remember his side of any story.

Life is funny. On one hand you have a man that has everything and can afford his illegal lifestyle but is going to ruin everything because of his lifestyle. On the other hand you have the regular working stiff who hates their life and wants drugs and alcohol to escape their pathetic reality but can't afford it. They become the criminals.

It amazes me that famous people still believe they are bulletproof and even more amazing it is usually the comedic actors that fall the hardest. Who wouldn't like to see John Belushi or Chris Farley back on the big screen? At least they weren't obnoxiously public about it. They didn't flaunt it.

How is it that Sheen can go on television and on radio spouting off about his illegal drug use but yet hasn't been arrested? We aren't talking about a bag of weed we are talking about the hard stuff. Must be nice to be able to openly live an illegal lifestyle without any repercussions. Hell he could probably fire up a joint at a police convention and nobody would question it.

Down the rabbit hole he goes and if this doesn't end in death it will end with his career going the route of a Danny Bonaducci. All the attention he is getting from the media over his lifestyle plus the fact that he is still being offered work. Why quit?

I have never once seen a Two and a Half Men where anyone told Charlie that he needed help. Just jokes about being an alcoholic, jokes about popping pills and jokes about being a man whore. No wonder he thinks it is all acceptable. I think a big part of his problem is that there is no separation between Charlie Harper and Charlie Sheen. The goddesses prove that. It's just a shame that he has kids involved.

With all that being said, I am no saint and I have lived through my partying and one night stand years and it was fun. I am also currently 45 years old and have responsibilities like family and kids and that lifestyle was left behind. I'm thankful I never got into the hard stuff because who knows where I would be today.

He has the means and the wealth to get help and really could use the Robert Downeys of the world to get there. Now that he is unemployed he needs to get past the denial stage and get some serious help. Six months out of the spotlight wouldn't kill him.

Leaping of my two and a half soapboxes.

With all that's going on in the world, you had this much time to post a comment about Charlie effin' Sheen?

We spend too much media time for someone like Charlie Sheen and his hideous life style. Everyone should just stop already and he will go away either in a casket or loose all his money and be a nobody which is becoming more apparent every day.

Agreed - never thought he was much of an actor either. He's always playing some version of his sorry self - not that talented. Also, never thought the show was funny either - but I hope it goes on without him.

Hopefully, they'll do the "full South Park" - the next episode will feature the remaining "man and a half" returning from his funeral, resulting from his drunken high-speed chase in his car, where he ran off a cliff. Then the car caught on fire. Then the car bounced down a cliff. Then was washed into the ocean. Still on fire. And then an empty plane would crash into it.

Then Uncle John Stamos can come join the family, because Jon Cryer's character would still have to have help with his son. There - done. Then I'd watch.

What took them so long?? LOL I feel we are watching the male equivalent of Britney Spears - Whackos!!!!

I hope the mothers of the various kids all get Court orders about the kids and visitation as the safety issue of the revolving door of the porn workers and who knows who else through the house is not safe for those kids. Sheen has surrounded himself with 'yes' people whom he pays and who DO NOT have the best interests of the children in mind. All the 'yes' people are 'enablers' including his Celeb buddies supposedly supporting him. One, if truthfully supporting him being Sean Penn - I just lost all the respect for him and what he has done for Haiti. The last thing people in Haiti need is Sheen going there. Penn needs his freakin' head read.

He gets paid, what, $2 million a show? Goes on binges and gets time off? And then complains how abused he is?

Listen Charlie, there are a lot of people dieing for a job, any job today. Take your money and just go away.

did that $25 bucks include the parking for your car, too? LOL!!

Had a VIP pass..how you think she came around..need connections.

Bernie Bernie Bernie

Hmmmm....the Joaquin Phoenix angle actually hadn't occured to me. For the sake of his kids, I hope you're right!

It wasn't interesting when Joaquin did it and its even less interesting if Charlie's doing it.

He could really cash in cause people are hanging on to his every word...

charleyfarley - do you really think that "people are hanging on his every word"? Eighty-eight percent of the voters said he should be fired. Does that imply that people are hanging on his every word? Apparently you haven't been reading all the negative comments that have been written for this article and others concerning Sheen.

Mark Cuban has hired him for a show already - WHATEVER CHARLIE WANTS TO DO.

And what's with the article starting out by saying CBS "blinked?" Firing someone is not a blink -- that's a shot.

One would hope that those in power at CBS have consulted heavily with their lawyers as to whether Sheen could win a lawsuit. Surely they have a leg on which to stand considering the number of times that his shenanigans have halted production.

is OJ's defense team available? "if the glove don't fit..." now it will be, "if his marks he hit, you must acquit."

Sheen admitted in one of these tirades that he's moved his marks from time to time because he was so zonked, just so he'd have something to lean on.

He's given them everything they need to legally walk away, I believe.

The show stinks to begin with..nothing to replace him..replace the whole show..sick of it.

Replace the show with a spin-off that keeps the other members of the cast. Those actors are funny and talented.

I feel so sorry for Jon and Angus, and the rest of the great cast, they are, in my opinion, funnier than Charlie! Jon should have his own show.

Let's forget about Charlie and focus on his children. He should not be allowed to see any of his kids at this time, what a scary time for them. Let's talk about how vunerable they are and please, x-wife's don't let him snow you as well. He is in a world of trouble and it doesn't look like it will end in a good way.

But... But.... He's WINNING!

Keep on winning guy, just keep on winning.

Picture his desk to have a pile of coke like in the movie 'Scarface', and he buries his head into the pile of coke and sniffs. LOL. That's what I picture as being his winning strategy.

I don't think he should get his kids back. With his lifestyle it would be disasterous and the kids would just turn out like him, another rich, spoiled kid who can get by with anything as long as he is popular.

Oh absolutely thank you. I love Jon he is funnier than Charlie

Rose...obviously, you haven't seen the Neilson ratings lately...CBS has most of the top 19 programs week after week. I never watched his show and I certainly won't miss it...and that's because of him and his lifestyle and his lack of responsibility and morals.

Rose - you overlook the fact that Sheen has turned off so many of the loyal viewers. His actions have caused the show to lose more viewers than it will gain. I used to watch it. I didn't approve of the innuendos and fart jokes, but I liked the supporting cast. Jon Cryer and the others are very talented. However, I'm so sick of Sheen and his inflated ego after the past couple of weeks that I refuse to even listen to reruns.

Yes replace this sorry punk and get the show going again. With all the talent out there these days they could do better.

See if his brother is available to finish out the contracted episodes ... just get him to dye his hair dark and nobody will notice.

I'll notice-- and I might watch it, for once. I like Emilio Estevez! Unlike his brother, he would have to act!

I think it would require the addition of long lost more talented brother Emilio Estevez, death of Charlie's character, and the removal of that dang laugh thingy for me to enjoy the show.

they didn't say a word because they are smart

Just cause one moron from the show decided to blow his face off with TNT doesn't mean everyone in the show will follow suit. You'd be stupid to follow in this idiot's footsteps.

Maybe the other members of the cast simply have more class. Why does it have to "smell bad" simply because no one else chose to stoop to his level?
