 Charlie Sheen fired from Two and a Half Men TV show: "Actor Charlie Sheen has been fired from the hit US sitcom Two and a Half Men by Warner Bros Television.

The studio said it had acted after 'careful consideration'. The news comes amid a frenzy of US media reports on Sheen's controversial personal life.

No decision has been made on the future of the television series, a spokesman for Warner Bros said on Monday.

Sheen, the highest paid actor on US television, has also appeared in films including Wall Street and Platoon.

Production of Two and a Half Men had been suspended since late January after Sheen, the son of Hollywood actor Martin Sheen, entered rehabilitation for reported drug and alcohol abuse.

The sitcom is the most popular series on the CBS television network.

'After careful consideration, Warner Bros Television has terminated Charlie Sheen's services on Two and a Half Men effective immediately,' Warner Bros said in a statement.

When asked by the Associated Press news agency if he would sue, Sheen replied via text message with the word 'big'. He added his next move would be a 'big one'.

'This is very good news,' he said in a statement obtained by celebrity website TMZ."
