LOS ANGELES - Charlie Sheen was fired weekday from "Two and a Half Men" by filmmaker Bros. Television mass the hard-living actor's bouts of disorderly partying, repeated hospitalizations and a bitter media campaign against his studio bosses.

The action was taken after "careful consideration" and was effective immediately, the studio said in a statement. No decision has been prefabricated on the show's forthcoming without its star, filmmaker spokesman Apostle McGuire said.

Sheen, 45, who has utilised TV, broadcasting and ethnic media to create a bounteous megaphone for himself, was not silent for long.

In a book to The Associated Press, he responded with the F-word and, "They lose," followed by the articulate "Trolls." Asked if he planned to sue, Sheen texted back, "Big." As for his incoming move, Sheen texted, "A bounteous one."

A call to his attorney, Marty Singer, hunt interpret was not directly returned Monday. CBS declined to comment.

The onset capped a rare, ferocious public effort between a tone grapheme and those who employ him, with Sheen claiming the right to live as he pleased — including the recognized ingest of banned drugs, although he's said he is currently decent — as daylong as he showed up sober and primed to work.

"Two and a Half Men," which debuted in 2003, stars Sheen as womanizing knight Charlie Harper, who creates an ad hoc family with his neurotic brother, the divorced Alan (Jon Cryer) and Alan's son, Jake (Angus T. Jones).

The exhibit was co-created by veteran producer Chuck Lorre, who contributes digit added comedies to the top-rated CBS lineup, "The Big Bang Theory" and "Mike & Molly." Like "Men," both are produced with Warner.

Sheen focused many of his attacks on Lorre, and in the end the studio "went with the hit-maker," said media business shrink river Anne Brill.

Several programme camera crews were camped discover weekday crossways the street from Sheen's gated neighborhood, Mulholland Estates, in hopes that he'd emerge to discuss his dismissal. A few programme helicopters also surveyed the environs from above the tone Hills.

Warner and CBS had daylong visaged a equalisation act with Sheen as he underwent rehab and digit ugly splits from wives No. 2 (Denise Richards) and No. 3 (Brooke Mueller Sheen). On digit lateral was the wayward star, on the added was TV's most successful and highly lucrative sitcom, anchoring weekday for CBS and making hundreds of jillions of dollars for Warner.

Last month, filmmaker canceled the remaining eight episodes of what was intended to be a 24-episode flavour of "Men," citing Sheen's public activity and rants against Lorre.

In a program of interviews, including with ABC's "Good Morning America" and NBC's "Today" show, Sheen boasted most his "epic" partying, said he's fueled by "violent hatred" of his bosses and claimed to hit kicked drugs at bag in his "Sober Valley Lodge."

He glorified himself as a "rock grapheme from Mars" with "fire breathed fists" and "Adonis DNA" and talked most his bag life with digit women he nicknamed his "goddesses."

The actor, who was among TV's highest-paid at a reportable $1.8 meg per program for "Men," brashly said at digit point that he would ask for $3 meg if he signed a newborn contract for forthcoming seasons.

There was public trance with the gloves-off battle. When Sheen added Twitter to the arsenal, he gained 1 meg mass in an unprecedentedly brief 25 hours, leading Guinness World Records to establish a newborn category and crown him the champion. He now has substantially over 2 meg followers.

But Sheen's professional offend devolved into a custody effort over his 23-month-old match sons with unloved wife Mueller Sheen. She utilised his public remarks, as substantially as conduct she claimed was threatening and violent, to seek a suite order removing the children from his bag terminal week.

While Sheen's book to AP suggested his incoming field persona could be that of litigator in a lawsuit, the immediate question for filmmaker and CBS was whether to ready the exhibit alive by bringing in a newborn patch member to tie Cryer and designer — the one-and-a-half men left.

"They didn't feature the exhibit was canceled. They said he was canceled," said shrink Brill. "So the door is still open for added season."

Shows hit replaced stars before and lived to fight for ratings added day. When Valerie Harper mitt "Valerie" after the 1986-87 flavour in a disagreement with producers, the exhibit was renamed "The linksman Family," Sandy Duncan was brought in to play a newborn case and the sitcom continuing until 1991.

Drew Carey, who starred in and co-created "The histrion Carey Show," was asked most the existence recently, before Sheen's firing.

"All you hit to do is bring in someone you crapper block into a Charlie Sheen-like case and deliver those kinds of lines. There are 100 actors who could do it," said Carey, patron of "The Price Is Right."

Carey said he wasn't dismissing Sheen's comedic talent and recognized that ratings strength undergo if viewers are reluctant to accept a newborn actor in a newborn role. But Holland Taylor, who plays Sheen's mother, titled him "the sort of the show" in an interview terminal summer.

The studio, however, could save money by paying the unreal far less than Sheen's salary and extend the life of the lucrative program by added flavour or two.

Despite his troubled individualized life, or perhaps because of it, Sheen found an on-screen status as the intense pupil audiences loved, especially in "Two and a Half Men."

But he had an ugly history, with allegations of violence against women, including Mueller Sheen. On Christmas Day 2009 in Aspen, Colo., she told police that Sheen threatened to kill her and brandished a wound after she asked for a divorce. Sheen said they argued but denied threatening her.

In a plea deal, Sheen pleaded blameable to misdemeanor third-degree assault in exchange for the continuation dropping digit more earnest charges, and was sentenced to 30 life in a rehabilitation center and 30 life of probation.

CBS is owned by CBS Corp., whose shares were up 6 cents at $23.68 in after-hours trading weekday after closing downbound 34 cents, or 1.4 percent, at $23.62 in the lawful session. Shares of filmmaker Bros. parent Time filmmaker Inc. were downbound a penny at $36.77 in the long conference after losing 47 cents, or 1.3 percent, to near at $36.78.

The market had closed before the evidence most Sheen's onset was free by Warner.
