Charlie Sheen and his powerful manager Mark Burg had a blowout argument over the telephone as the Two and a Half Men star continues his meltdown.

“Charlie was furious at Mark because he thinks Mark rolled over and allowed the number of episodes for the season to be cut,” a source very close to the situation told Breaking Celebrity News exclusively.

“He felt that Mark was telling him what to do and that always infuriates Charlie. He screamed at him and told Burg that he was letting (show producer) Chuck Lorre walk all over him.”

Burg has made a fortune from Two and a Half Men and has always been one of Charlie’s main apologists, even as scandal rages.
