Charlie Sheen Fired from Two and a Half Men

Good! This is the news I have been waiting for — Charlie Sheen has been fired from “Two and a Half Men” show.

As the very public meltdown of Sheen continues to unfold, the powers that be behind TV’s top-rated sitcom have decided that the actor has done irreparable harm to the show. As a result, CBS, Warner Bros. TV and executive producer Chuck Lorre announced Monday that they were pulling the plug on the actor for good.

The decision gives the network and studio more time to plot out a future without Sheen — if there is a future at all. Firing Sheen rather than canceling Two and a Half Men opens up the possibility of a new star. CBS and Warner Bros. earlier shot down rumors that John Stamos was a candidate, but all options would appear to be on the table. The network and studio already have a deal in place for the 2011-2012 TV season.
