CBS today finally handed Charlie Sheen that pink slip he's been begging for over the past few weeks, reports People. "After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen's services on Two and a Half Men effective immediately," says a statement from the network. CBS says "no decision has been made" about whether to hire a new star or cancel the show completely. Sheen, meanwhile, is busily tweeting about Tiger Blood. (More Charlie Sheen stories.)
