The former star of the Chuck Lorre-produced show told TMZ, "Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there." Sheen has been openly and vehemently critical of Lorre.

Sheen also predicted that the show would fail without him. Of course, he's been saying that for months. "Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB," Sheen told TMZ, referring to the show's ratings.

Kutcher starred on "That '70s Show" and recently appeared alongside Natalie Portman in the romantic comedy "No Strings Attached."
