It appears that Charlie Sheen entered Mel Gibson territory Thursday.

The actor went on the radio program The Alex Jones Show, in the morning and let loose with a heap of insults targeted at Two and a Half Men showrunner, Chuck Lorre as well as Alcoholics Anonymous calling it a “bootleg cult” with a “five-percent success rate,” as opposed to his own success rate of “100-percent.”

Sheen went on with his venomous rant about Lorre with anti-Semitic overtones, “There’s something this side of deplorable that a certain Chaim Levine — yeah, that’s Chuck’s real name — mistook this rock star for his own selfish exit strategy, bro. Check it, Alex: I embarrassed him in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace that his un-evolved mind cannot process.”

He wasn’t done, but apparently Warner Bros and CBS finally were. They shutdown shop of his hit TV sitcom - four episodes early citing the “totality of Charlie Sheen’s statements, conduct and condition.”

It didn’t take long for Sheen to react to the studio and network’s actions with an open letter sent to the website TMZ.com. In that letter Sheen called Lorre a “contaminated little maggot,” then added, “Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words — imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists.”

The actor called on his fans to help him “right this unconscionable wrong,” but all he’d have to do is read the comments from his audience to realize that they’re fed up too and ready for his permanent – though ungraceful - exit.

Over the years we have interviewed Sheen, both sober and wasted. He’s often been entertaining when trashed, but at 45 years old, his charm is wearing thin.

At the interviews for Money Talks in 1997, we witnessed just how wild the actor can be. Sheen began the interview for that film by saying, “You don’t want to hear about the movie, you want to hear about the drugs and the whores.” He later accused co-star Chris Tucker of stealing his car. Tucker claims Sheen gave him the sporty wheels as a gift.

Then there was the intervention by is famous father Martin Sheen and brother Emilio Estevez followed by a stint in rehab.

This latest behavior is just one of the many antics Sheen has engaged in lately. The most recent was a trip to the hospital after a reported wild night involving women and substance abuses.

Now, it finally seems his bad behavior has caught up with him. CBS had original planned to air 24 episodes; an amount that was decreased to 20 because of Sheen’s reported substance abuses. Shutting down the show has left the network with just 16 episodes in total.

The question is, can the series survive without Sheen? Will CBS want the show to continue? And if he returns for another season will the audience be willing to forgive his goof-ups?

If not, maybe he can use his magic fists of fire to pull himself together and create a new opportunity for himself.
