He called Lorre a "clown" and a "turd" and said he had been turning the producer's "tin cans into pure gold." After the bizarre on-air railing, CBS and Warner Bros. released the following statement: "Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition, [we] have decided to discontinue production of Two and a Half Men for the remainder of the season."
Charlie fired back with an open letter, which reads in part: "What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me? I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows... I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can't handle my power and can't handle the truth."
He later told TMZ, "I violently hate [him]. He's a stupid, stupid little man and a punk that I'd never want to be like." The Wrap reports Charlie won't be paid for the remaining salary left on his contract. (--He earns $1.8 million an episode. There were eight shows left on the season.)
TMZ has the rant and more details here.

JLO'S IDOL MOMENT: JENNIFER LOPEZ "suffered" an on-screen "breakdown" Wednesday night after telling fan favorite CHRIS MEDINA he would NOT be in "American Idol's" Top 24 this season. (--Chris is the guy who's taking care of his fiancée, who suffered brain damage in a bad accident in '09, just two months before they were supposed to get married.)
On RYAN SEACREST'S radio show yesterday, J-Lo explained why ... "I just couldn't believe I had to deliver this news to this person who had been through a lot and is going through a lot. I felt like I didn't do it well enough to send him into where he needed to go in his life and be OK.
And I didn't want to be a part of that moment in his life. He handled it with such dignity and such class, that made it worse for me"
Now that we've had about a month to evaluate the SIMON COWELL-less judging panel, what are your thoughts? Better? Worse? Like it? Hate it? What about "Idol" in general?
