Aaaand He's Back! Charlie Sheen Says Ashton Kutcher Sucks

As of yesterday, the burden of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" became too much for Charlie Sheen to bear. After what must be months of having to occasionally not talk shit on "Two and a Half Men," the star broke down and called TMZ.
And he told them what he really thinks.
"I'm tired of lying," he said. "I'm tired of pretending the show doesn't suck...I'm tired of pretending Ashton doesn't suck."
What a relief that must be, to finally unleash the truth. And to be fair, he's right -- Ashton does suck. And so does the show, although some of us kind of thought it sucked all along.
Sheen added that perhaps the downfall of the show he once headlined isn't completely Kutcher's fault. "It's nothing personal," he said. "I just feel bad for him...he's saddled with such bad writing."
Welcome back, winner.
