Warner Bros fire Sheen from sitcom

WARNER BROS Television last night said it had fired Charlie Sheen from the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men.

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.”

Sheen’s erratic personal life had prompted Warner to suspend production on the show for the season, and Sheen in return had been waging an angry media campaign against the show’s producers.
