    Things have gone from bad to worse for the troubled star, after being fired from the Two and a Half Men show

    After weeks of incredible ups and downs, Sacked Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen has finally admitted he needs help, confessing in a recent interview: ‘I’m starting to lose my mind’.

    MORE CELEBRITY SCANDALS The American TV’ star’s bizarre – and reportedly drug-fuelled - behaviour has spiralled out of control in recent weeks, with a series of dramatic events leaving staff and friends increasingly worried for his health.

    So far, Sheen’s actions have resulted in his children being removed by the authorities, a restraining order being issued by his ex wife, Brook Mueller, and his sacking from the Two and a Half Men show.

    Shortly after his suspension, he was pictured on top of an LA building drinking 'tiger blood' and waving a machete, and has since made a series of rambling broadcasts from an internet channel titled ‘Sheen’s Korner’, branding himself and ‘warlock’ and ‘winner’.

    Now the unhinged star – once the highest paid actor on US TV - has given a new interview, admitting he is in desperate need of help.

    ‘I'm really starting to lose my mind. I'm ready to call anyone to help,’ he told American Magazine Life & Style, adding he has been struggling to keep his life in order since his ex-wife was granted temporary custody of his children.
