Warner Bros. Fires Charlie Sheen For Being 'Self-Destructive and Ill'; Charlie Sheen Calls This 'Good News'
After two weeks of badmouthing, insane salary demands and general craziness from Charlie Sheen, Warner Bros. and CBS have finally had enough. In a joint effort this afternoon, the pair officially fired their "warlock genius" Two and a Half Men star, citing "dangerously self-destructive conduct" and the fact that Sheen "appears to be very ill." Unsurprisingly, Sheen has already responded to these allegations.
"This is very good news," Sheen told TMZ just minutes ago. "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 the 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."
The 11-page termination document, written by said "breached whales," includes the following passage, detailing why the star was fired -- as if you didn't already know:
"There is ample evidence supporting Warner Bros. reasonable good faith opinion that Mr. Sheen has committed felony offenses involving moral turpitude (including but not limited to furnishing of cocaine to others as part of the self-destructive lifestyle he has described publicly) that have 'interfere[d] with his ability to fully and completely render all material services required' under the agreement."

In other news, today Emilio Estevez made some nachos and did some laundry.
Hahaha
Mmm, nachos.
What's particularly vexing is that there were no signs of moral turpitude before they hired him. None.
Yes, he was a pure, chaste boy in those days.
If he had gone into seclusion two weeks ago he would still have a job. I'm sure CBS would have kept him on if he had agreed to STFU in public. I guess this can be used as a measuring stick for exactly how much crap a network will take before firing a star.
No fair! Just last week, he directed...someone to the Interstate.
He didn't want the job anymore. But he still wanted the money. Hence all the insane poo-flinging, soon to be followed by lawsuits. Which we won't be able to avoid reading about for the rest of the year.
Can't wait. Sigh.
Sheen wasn't the star. He was the draw. There's a difference. The show is called Two and a Half Men, not One Pervy Slob and His Extended Family. It's like saying The Odd Couple was The Oscar Show. It's just not so.
Moral of the story: Don't shit where you eat.
Dude, not to get all serious and nonsnarky all of a sudden, but that interview w/ Emilio and Martin was...heartbreaking. I can't imagine having a family member do this kinda stuff, much less do it so publicly. I kinda started laughing at some of the #winning stuff earlier, but now, whenever something Charlie related happens, I just sigh. Bummer dude.
