Charlie Sheen has signed on for two more seasons of Two and a Half Men. (Chris Pizzello/Associated Press)After a few months of uncertainty, Charlie Sheen has decided to continue with his top-rated CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men, the actor announced late Monday.
"To put a fitting end on the 2½ months of whirlwind speculation, I'm looking forward to returning to my CBS home on Monday nights," the 44-year-old actor said in a statement issued late Monday.
Sheen's new contract binds him to the CBS show for another two seasons, according to his spokesman, Stan Rosenfield. Other details of the contract were not revealed.
CBS recently renewed Two and a Half Men, which also stars Jon Cryer, through the 2011-2012 season, but Sheen's contract was up at the end of the current, seventh season.
Sheen took a break from the show, which halted production temporarily, in February when he checked into a rehabilitation facility for an undisclosed treatment.
Rumours also emerged that the actor had been feeling limited by the confines of a weekly TV show and was itching to return to films. He makes a cameo in the forthcoming film Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, a sequel to the 1987 classic Wall Street in which he starred.
Sheen's personal life has also been a whirlwind. He faces a trial in Colorado this July over an alleged domestic violence incident involving his wife, Brooke Mueller Sheen.

FILM REVIEW: Men in Black 3 by Eli Glasner May. 25, 2012 11:40 AM Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back in the action sequel Men in Black 3, a third instalment of a series now 15 years old. Though new addition Josh Brolin manages some amazing mimicry as a younger version of Jones, the story doesn't measure up to the weird and wonderful charms of the original, says film reviewer Eli Glasner.
