Three years after Charlie Sheen’s rancorous departure from CBS’s "Two and a Half Men," the Hollywood bad boy appears to still be thinking about his old show.
TheWrap.com reports that Sheen has suddenly unleashed a Twitter tirade against Ashton Kutcher, who replaced Sheen in the lead role on the sitcom. Among other things, Sheen reportedly called Kutcher not only "lame," but also "really lame."
"Sheen’s social-media blitzkrieg against Kutcher began on Sunday, when he posted a photo of his former ‘Men’ co-star Jon Cryer with Kutcher," the story reports. Sheen reportedly wrote: “hey Jon!!! u r a GENIUS!!! I effin love and MISS YOU old pal! Q; who’s your lame side-kik?”
"Sheen added the hashtags #NiceTryCanonBoy and #CH, seeming references to Kutcher’s endorsement deal with Nikon cameras, and to Sheen’s old ‘Two and a Half Men’ character, Charlie Harper," the piece adds. "By Monday, Sheen must have experienced some backlash — because he published an update to his supposed detractors, along with an even bigger insult hurled at Kutcher."
In that post, Sheen reportedly wrote: “Hey relax everyone! read the hash tag! oh and Jon I’m so sorry I insulted your sidekik I meant REALLY lame." He included the hashtag “#HyLmN," which the report was unable to decipher.
"Sheen also asked Kutcher to stop ‘barfing’ on ‘Two and a Half Men,’ while making a reference to Kuthcer’s former reality prank show ‘Punk’d,’" TheWrap adds.
That post from Sheen reads: “Hey Ashton sorry bro all good. now quit barfing on my old brilliant show. Remember Punk’d? how duz it feel?”
"Sheen, who was ousted from ‘Two and a Half Men’ in 2011 and currently stars in the FX adaptation of the film ‘Anger Management,’ hasn’t been shy about criticizing the show since his departure. He’s characterized the series as ‘dead’ and said that Kutcher sucks on the show," the report notes. "However, he recently indicated his interest in playing nice with his former ‘Men’ boss and arch nemesis Chuck Lorre, reaching out across (what else?) Twitter to tell Lorre, ‘I have an idea that u need to hear after I make amends to you and yours, which I will do in person.’”

Pool Charlie. Two and Half Men is just as good with Kutcher. C’mon, how hard could it be to just move on.
Gotta agree. The start with Ashton was pretty awful but quite frankly the show has become really entertaining. And it’s taking some leaps and bounds with the lesbian storyline that almost crashed and burned but even that has an engaging twist. Kutcher surely has found his place on this show. Charlie’s making his money and you can be sure Ashton Kutcher could care less what Charlie Sheen thinks.
