Charlie Sheen gets fired. Will 'Two and a Half Men' become 'One and a Half Men'?
After weeks of public battles between Charlie Sheen and the forces behind the hit series "Two and a Half Men" -- CBS, Warner Bros. and series co-creator Chuck Lorre -- the actor has been fired. Is anyone surprised?
“After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on 'Two and a Half Men' effective immediately,” a statement from the studio announced.
Neither the studio nor CBS have commented yet on whether there's a chance of the show carrying on without Sheen. (Our readers offered some thoughts on how "Two and a Half Men" might continue without him here.) The network's deal had the series running through next season at a cost of about $4 million per episode. For more on Sheen's termination, read reports at Company Town here and here.

One day when Coco is scraping the remnants of a spilled vodka lime milkshake off his lapel he will suddenly catch a reflection of himself against the breezy ocean that will be making out with him and his vodka straw and wonder for every drop in the ocean, there was always another dollar he should have made.

Charlie Sheen is obviously a mentally ill individual. I do not think that the publicity that he is receiving right now is beneficial to him or to individuals who are catering to his tirades. Hopefully he will realize that he has hit bottom and needs to get help before he becomes another disturbed Hollywood celebrity who ends up dead.

It will be entitled "One Man" because Sheen has been fired and they had to give mom custody of the remaining half.
