CBS are desperately trying to convince Charlie Sheen to return to sitcom 'Two and a Half Men', reportedly telling show creator Chuck Lorre to let them handle the actor.

Charlie Sheen's former bosses at CBS are desperately trying to convince him to return to 'Two and a Half Men', according to reports.

The 45-year-old actor - who was fired from the sitcom earlier this month for insulting producers and for his general wild drug-fuelled behaviour - is reportedly being pursued by chief staff at the TV network which makes the show because they want him back.

Although Charlie is involved in a public feud with programme creator Chuck Lorre - calling him "Chucky Cheeseball" and "s**tbrain" - CBS president and CEO Les Moonves has now intervened.

A source told RadarOnline.com: "Moonves told Chuck Lorre that he should 'let us handle Charlie'."

However, getting the series back on track could be difficult as Charlie recently blasted his co-star Jon Cryer in the mistaken belief he has issued a statement against him.

He said: "Like I said, you're with me, or you're with the trolls.

"Jon has not called me. He's a turncoat, a traitor, a troll. Clearly he's a troll. He issued a statement. Is it gonna take me calling him a 'traitor, juvenile and scared' for him to get it?

"What's there to say? I'll tell him, 'You're a little late. Goodbye, troll.' When I'm starring in multimillion-dollar films and he's begging me for a supporting role I'll say, 'You left me out in the cold with all of your guilt and stupidity.' "

Meanwhile, Charlie reportedly had a meeting with CBS rival FOX recently where a group including Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment for FOX and Peter Rice, Chairman of Entertainment for FOX Networks Group, discussed possible projects for Charlie, including a late night show.
