And the best bit is, it happened via text message - which is fitting 'cause Charlie is currently undergoing an Age of Aquarius like transition in his view of terrestrial technology. Although this might true, the text did not please Charlie. Instead, he is angrily insisting it's a "juvenile" firing by a bunch of "yellow cockroaches."
The 45-year-old "winner" says he heard that he was officially dumped from his hit show Two And A Half Men just minutes before the rest of the world. And he appeared most upset that the news - which had appeared to the larger majority to be inevitable - came via text rather than in person.
"I got a text or something - these guys are such yellow cockroaches that they didn't even have the decency to call me," he angrily said in a call to a US TV show just minutes after getting the news. "I put 5 bill[ion] in their cheap suit pockets and another half a bil' in what's-his-cheese's pockets and this is the f***ing respect I get? It's just deplorable and they should be ashamed of themselves!... They exercised such a cheap move and this is so silly and so transparent and… it's so juvenile. It is the work of infants."
He, of course, insists that his firing had nothing to do with his mad media blitz, but instead just that his TV bosses never understood him: "I guess if you can't process a guy, or realize his value, you must terminate him. That's real high-brow thinking, really evolved thinking. I don't know. It is what it is. I'm more worried about my children [Bob and Max] (never mind the three daughters, sure they're grand) right now than any of this nonsense, you know... It is the work of silly infants and it's just - if this is what it had to come to, to get me out of those silly shirts (nothing about the shorts, socks and shoes combo?), then so be it. So maybe I'll wear one, just on the final day when I go and remove all of their bazillions."
Indeed, for Charlie is going to sue Warner Bros for bazillions. This is what his lawyer, Marty Singer, had to say: "They have no basis to suspend or terminate Charlie Sheen.We will sue. It's a matter of when. It could be this week, it could be in a little while. We're in no rush. But we will sue. This is nothing but Warner Bros acting on behalf of Chuck Lorre."
That's funny, 'cause Warner Bros are instead using the rather clear argument that Sheen was fired due to his "felony offenses involving moral turpitude", his "declining condition" and "dangerously self-destructive conduct".
By way of retort, Charlie has started referring to himself as an "unemployed winner" and has one last thing to say about those shirts: "This is very good news. I can take all of the bazillions and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension."
Yesterday the warlock paid L.A.'s Live Nation HQ a visit, with only one of his goddesses, (he probably had the other one tethered to a radiator) where he drank from a bottle marked "Tiger Blood" and "waved a machete around."
Next stop, Smithfield "horse market".
