Charlie Sheen: No Bridges Left to Burn

Sheen wants to be perfectly clear: Without me the show cannot go on.

Charlie Sheen's scorched earth campaign cannot be contained.

Yesterday, Chuck Lorre, the creator of Two and a Half Men (and Mike & Molly, The Big Bang Theory, Dharma & Greg and other sitcoms) floated the idea that maybe he could simply write Sheen out of the show, bring in a new comic foil and expand the part played of Jon Cryer.

A perfectly logical, last-ditch effort to keep TV's top comedy afloat. But Good-Time Charlie didn't see it that way. He fired off a scathing, ad hominem attack on Lorre.

He sent the letter to the scandal service TMZ to be forwarded on to Lorre. Apparently paparazzi are quicker and more efficient than postal workers.

"At the end of the day, no one cares about your feeble show without me," Sheen wrote "Shame on you. Not even a phone call to the man that put you on the map? The man that put $500 million in your pockets?"

Apparently Lorre should have made a courtesy call to Charlie asking for his permission to rescue the show from Sheen's ashes. Just a polite conversation among colleagues.

"You created a show based on my awesome life," Charlie continued. "You sad, silly fool."

You left out one thing, Charlie: "You never call; you never write."
