Charlie Sheen has fired back on the decision to suspend Two and Half Men, labeling the move “crazy” -- and boldly declaring that he is switching channels to HBO.

In a text message from the Bahamas where he is vacationing, the 45-year-old actor described CBS and Warner Bros. decision to immediately stop production of Two and a Half Men for the rest of the season as “crazy” and “sad”.

The Hollywood superstar revealed he was in serious negotiations to star in his own half-hour show, titled Sheen’s Corner -- a deal that would reputedly land him a whopping $5 million an episode.

“I’m close to securing a deal with HBO for a 10 show guarantee,” Sheen told Breaking Celebrity News’s Dylan Howard, exclusively.

“It will be epic, all types of guests and we will focus on the truth and the absurd!”

Despite Sheen’s claims, a spokesperson for HBO said the network had not done any deal with the star.

Earlier, CBS and Warner Bros. released a statement, saying: "Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production of Two And A Half Men for the remainder of the season."

In an open letter to his fans, Sheen also wrote:
