Alas, the news is that fabulously popular actor Charlie Sheen has been canned or at least suspended from his show Two and a Half Men. Though the show has been CBS and Warner Bros. Television's top-rated sitcom for the season, Charlie crossed the line: He said something construed as anti-Semitic.

He also derided [Two and a Half Men producer Chuck] Lorre in an attack that reeked of anti-Semitism. "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 unevolved mind cannot process," Sheen said. "Last I checked, Chaim, I spent close to the last decade effortlessly and magically converting your tin cans into pure gold.
