SNIPPET OF THE DAY – AT 8:27 P.M. ET:

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Charlie Sheen was fired Monday from "Two and a Half Men" by Warner Bros. Television following repeated misbehavior and weeks of the actor's angry, often-manic media campaign against his studio bosses.  The action was taken after "careful consideration" and is effective immediately, the studio said in a statement. No decision has been made on the show's future without its star, said Paul McGuire, a Warner spokesman.

In the grown-up world someone like Sheen would have been fired years ago.  But Hollywood is not the grown-up world.  You may be sure that, as this is written, other suits in other studios are figuring out a way to get Sheen to work for them...for more money than Warner paid.  Hey, he's hot.
