'Tough Love: New Orleans' Swamp Date
Warner Bros. has fired Charlie Sheen from the hit CBS show "Two and a Half Men."
The move comes after several weeks of very public battling between the actor and CBS, Warner Bros. and "Two and a Half Men" co-creator Chuck Lorre.
In a statement, the studio said, "After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen's services on 'Two and a Half Men' effective immediately."
Production on the show was stopped in late January after top executives from CBS and Warner Bros. confronted Sheen about his private life. Sheen has made no secret of embracing a sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle. Messy divorces, accusations of violence toward women and trips to rehab have been staples of his life for over two decades.
None of his personal life seemed to have any impact on his career. He is the highest paid actor in television, with a salary that reaches $2 million per episode when his portion of rerun money is included. Although production was also shut down last year because of Sheen's personal issues, CBS and Warner Bros. never publicly came out against that star.
That all changed last month when Sheen suddenly became very critical of Lorre, Warner Bros. and CBS. He made fun of Lorre, and CBS and Warner Bros. announced they were suspending production of the show for the rest of the season.

I don't think anyone could replace Charlie in "Two and a Half Men". The show is great and I want to see more of it. They found a winning situation and made the most of it. So Charlie Sheen had a meltdown. So what? Get over it.
Professionsl Athletes can go to court for rape and still be on the team, so what's the big deal?
I'll stand behind Charlie Sheen to continue with "Two and a Half Men". I don't watch the show because all the actors are squeaky clean people, I watch it because it's funny and I like all the players.

I don't know why black blogs keep posting stories about Charlie Sheen. This has nothing to do with black people.
