Charlie Sheen says he's sorry for calling former co-star Jon Cryer 'a turncoat, a traitor, a troll.'LOS ANGELES - Hedonistic hellion Charlie Sheen dialed down his rage a day after pelting his former TV bosses and co-star Jon Cryer with his most vicious verbal assaults yet.
Sheen called the KEARTH 101 radio show Wednesday to offer an apology, endorse Rob Lowe as his sitcom substitute and gloat about his future.
Then he called the Dan Patrick radio show to claim his media blitzkrieg was coming to a close.
"I'll apologize to Jon right now," he told the KEARTH hosts after calling Cryer a "turncoat, a traitor, a troll" in an interview with E! Online Tuesday. "I was in a mood, and I threw that out there. It's a half apology -- it's an apol!"
He admitted the "die has been cast" in terms of his firing from "Two and a Half Men" and said he's not bothered by rumors Lowe is on a short list of possible replacements.
"I'm talking to Rob, he's a buddy of mine, he's a beautiful man, and he's a brilliant actor. I hope he does it and kicks it's a-- because you know I still get pizayed," Sheen said, still confident he'll prevail in his contract dispute.
He also laughed off spoofs of his behavior on "Saturday Night Live" and "House," calling them "warm hugs."
"If it's done tastefully and with really smart humor, I just think it's totally gnarls gnarlington," said the actor whose tasteless barbs have made him infamous.
Sheen, 45, also claimed he's still planning to visit Haiti with actor pal Sean Penn.
"(I will do) whatever is asked of me," he said of the trip, "whatever I can do to deliver a little bit of faith?maybe put a smile on a few faces that wouldn't otherwise happen if I wasn't there."
He also kissed his TV career good-bye.
"I'll go make some movies with some brilliant directors," he said, mentioning Roman Coppola and Nick Cassavetes and possible partners. "I've got geniuses like waiting for me to just say let's do this. I'm not really worried."
Sheen lost his job Monday when Warner sent his attorney a scathing 11-page letter saying he broke his $2 million-per-episode contract with "self-inflicted disintegration."
The letter listed his antics in painful detail, including his "disturbing rampage" at Manhattan's Plaza Hotel in October and the drug-fueled bender that landed him in the hospital in late January.
Sheen and his attorney have vowed to fight back, claiming "Men" creator Chuck Lorre conspired to have him fired in a battle of egos.
Lorre made his last public comment on Sheen's spiral back on Feb. 14 but recently hired his own legal gunslinger to prep for battle.
"The conspiracy theory is pure fantasy," Lorre's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, told the Hollywood Reporter. "Chuck is very concerned for Charlie's health. We all believe Warner Bros. did the right thing given the situation Mr. Sheen created."
