Troubled actor Charlie Sheen is suing the producers of the top-rating television show Two and a Half Men for $100 million over their decision to sack him and suspend the show for the rest of the season.
The off-the-rails star filed a lawsuit in a Los Angeles court today against Warner Brothers and the sitcom's co-creator Chuck Lorre, alleging they breached contracts with the cast and crew by suspending the show before the end of the season.
He is seeking $100 million plus punitive damages on behalf of the cast and crew.

He then tweeted: "#Fastball; Torpedo away ... You corporate Trolls were warned. And now you've been served!"
In the suit, Sheen alleges that Mr Lorre only fired him because he had recently criticised Lorre both on radio and television.
Sheen alleges Lorre had decided to sack him before his public outbursts because Lorre wanted to work on other television shows.
This week, Warner Brothers - which produces the CBS series - terminated Sheen's contract, alleging he had committed a serious crime involving "moral turpitude".
