Charlie Sheen is suing Warner Bros. for $100 million, claiming he was wrongfully fired from Two and a Half Men. Forget the fact that Sheen went crazy, started snorting suitcases full of coke and production had to be stalled because of his behavior, costing the studios what was probably the equivalent to millions of dollars, Sheen still believes he can win in a court of public opinion.
Actually Charlie thinks he can win in an actual court of legal fact, announcing on Wednesday that he wants his day in court with the studio, rather than going through legal closed-door arbitration.
Sheen says arbitration won’t work since many of the judges in the area do business with Warner Bros, providing them with an unfair advantage.

Charlie Sheen is an idiot. First he does enough coke to kill a village, then he tarnishes his own image by creating a home haven of porn stars, then he has the gull to actually sue CBS, Warner Bros. and Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre for $100 million, claiming wrongful termination after he had to abandon the show to undergo rehab treatments.
On March 7 Warner Bros. issued a statement about Sheen's firing:
“After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on ‘Two and a Half Men’ effective immediately.”
To which Sheen responded with:
“This is very good news. They continue to be in breach, like so many whales. It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of the bazillions, never have to look at whatshis[expletive] again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension.
In his lawsuit Sheen is stating that since he wasn't fired through all his other transgressions in the past, the studio had no reason to fire him this time around.
