Charlie Sheen, just days after being fired from CBS' "Two and a Half Men," has fired back with a $100-million lawsuit on behalf of himself and the show's crew against Warner Bros. and Chuck Lorre, the studio and executive producer of the show, respectively.

The suit, filed Thursday morning in Santa Monica Superior Court, charges that Sheen was only fired from the show because he had recently criticized Lorre both on radio and television. Warner Bros., in a letter to Sheen's attorney Martin Singer, had said Sheen was fired because he had become a liability on the show and his erratic off-stage life had started to affect his ability to perform. (Here is a copy of the suit.)

Don’t eat the purple mushrooms on Planet Charliesheen
cause you’ll cry when you hear the trumpetcarrots sing
sleep all day and party all night at the Tiger Blood Den
live with goddesses (in sin) and walk out on comrades in 2 1/2 men

I don’t recommend it, if you have a heart condition
you can drink the Koolaid but it has no nutrition
Mt. Nebo is haunted with floating apparitions
Nobody goes there because of the superstitions

I started talking gibberish from the very start
people laughed but it was what was on my heart
there you can be anybody - even be a king
that’s what life is like, on Planet Charliesheen

Money means nothing compared to a principle
in the mists of Halcyon, a person feels invincible
freedom from all wants, everythings dispensable
it seems all mixed up to the ones who are sensible

The sky is kinda yellow, the water kinda green
nothing here is dirty, nothing here is clean
you can scream your head off, it doesn’t make a scene
and that’s how it is, on Planet Charliesheen

The lawsuit reads like it was written by Charlie.

Delusional...

Awesome!!

What? You mean it’s not okay for a business to fire a drug-addicted, loudmouth lunatic who caused cancellation of half the season with his BS?

[Howie66]

Maybe Charlie should sue his parents.

Being a “gentleman”, I’ll not elaborate on exactly why...... Just take my word for it.

Warner Brothers’ best writers couldn’t have written a more entertaining script than what is playing out live.

The lunacy of Hollyweird is on full display in all its glory!

Sheen knew what he was doing. I know some people at that specific court and they mostly tend to lick the bottom of the shoes of celebs. Away from the studios, and lib-actor friendly. Someone coherent is nudging him on what to do in the background..

Anyone know how 2 1/2 Men ratings are since this all started?

Good job. Chuck Lorrie and Warner Brothers are just as slimy as crazy charlie.

You know, Sheen was just peachy for them even after he held a knife to his wife’s throat. But insulting them in public, and badda-bing, he’s fired. Interesting.

Twenty Minutes With The President By Charlie Sheen Tuesday, September 8, 2009 I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with our 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, while he was out promoting his health care reform initiative. I requested 30 minutes given the scope and detail of my inquiry; they said I could have 20. Twenty minutes, 1200 seconds, not a lot of time to question the President about one of the most important events in our nation’s history. The following is a transcript of our remarkable discussion. Charlie Sheen – Good afternoon Mr. President, thank you so much for taking time out of your demanding schedule. President Barack Obama – My pleasure, the content of your request seemed like something I should carve out a few minutes for. CS – I should point out that I voted for you, as your promises of hope and change, transparency and accountability, as well as putting government back into the hands of the American people, struck an emotional chord in me that I hadn’t felt in quite some time, perhaps ever. PBO – And I appreciate that Charlie. Big fan of the show, by the way. CS – Sir, I can’t imagine when you might find the time to actually watch my show given the measure of what you inherited. PBO – I have it Tivo’d on Air Force One. Nice break from the traveling press corps. (He glances at his watch) not to be abrupt or to rush you, but you have 19 minutes left.

In Caliphate-pornia he might actually win.
