Is Charlie Sheen Leaving "Two and a Half Men"?

Just as I was about to turn over to the two syndicated episodes of “Two and a Half Men” I watch each night, I got this disturbing piece of news from my second favorite Canadian…

People.com is reporting that Charlie Sheen is leaving “Two and a Half Men.”

The magazine’s sources say that Charlie refused to sign a new deal and is ready to leave the show. Charlie’s rep would only say that his deal is only good through this season. CBS would not comment.

There have been a lot of boneheaded decisions in the world of TV—David Caruso leaving “NYPD Blue” after one season for a movie career, the whole NBC late-night fiasco—but I have to say this could be the most boneheaded move ever.

“Two and a Half Men” is the #1 comedy on TV and Sheen is the highest paid actor on TV. Yes, he’s having a lot of personal issues, but this is just messed up. And honestly I don’t know how the show could survive without him.

And after I had just rediscovered it…

There’s a good chance that this could just be a negotiating ploy and that Charlie has no intentions of walking away, but it annoys me either way. I adore Charlie but I have to say this is a pretty selfish move. Piled on top of his decision to not make a plea deal, thereby forcing the show to shut down production early, it makes it a lot harder to be on his side.

I REALLY hope this is not true…
