Charlie Sheen has been named the Highest Paid Actor on TV, despite being fired from his hit sitcom, Two and a Half Men.

The actor lost his role as Charlie Harper in the sitcom in March after a huge fall out with co-creator Chuck Lorre, but still topped the list compiled by Forbes.com who estimates he earned $40 million from syndication and pay owed between May 2010 and May 2011.

Charlie also filed a lawsuit against Lorre and the show's makers, Warner Brothers, over his dismissal, but this was settled out of court. Although the sum of the settlement has not been made public, it has widely been reported to be a $100 million deal, starting with a $25 million lump sum payment to Charlie.

As RadarOnline.com was first to report, Charlie has inked a deal with Lionsgate TV to create a new sitcom, and he’s set to make more money than ever!

The James Spader era began on Thursday's season premiere of NBC's The Office.

Spader, who replaces longtime star Steve Carell, plays new the new boss of the Scranton, Pennsylvania-based Dunder Mifflin paper supply company, Robert California.

After seven years on the NBC comedy, Carell, who played office manager Michael Scott, wrapped up his stint on the hit show this past spring to further pursue his film career. (In the storyline, his character, Michael Scott, left the job to move to Colorado.)

Spader collected three Emmy awards playing lawyer Alan Shore on The Practice and Boston Legal; the wins made him the only actor to win consecutive Emmys playing the same character on two different shows.

Modern Family was the big winner at Sunday's 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre, as the hit ABC series swept the five categories it was nominated in: best comedy, best supporting actor (Ty Burrell), best supporting actress (Julie Bowen), best writing and direction.

The night definitely had its share of surprises -- Melissa McCarthy captured best actress in a comedy for Mike & Molly while Kyle Chandler won best actor in a drama for Friday Night Lights.

After her second straight nomination, Julianna Margulies finally won Best Actress in a drama for her critically acclaimed starring role in The Good Wife; Kate Winslet won best actress in a miniseries or movie for Mildred Pierce; Martin Scorsese took home best direction in a drama for Boardwalk Empire; and Mad Men captured the award for best drama series.

Tell us how you really feel Rainn!

The Office star Rainn Wilson is not happy that Steve Carell did not win best actor in a comedy at the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday night in Los Angeles.

After the ceremony, Wilson  -- who plays quirky Dwight Schrute on the show -- tweeted: “The world of TV should be ashamed of itself that Steve Carell never won an Emmy for Michael Gary Scott. Goodnight.”

Oscar, who? Primetime television was honored Sunday and RadarOnline.com has all the winners for you.

Glee star Jane Lynch hosted Sunday's show at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre and said, "We want to make a splash, I want it to be the best awards show ever!"

In Dinner for Schmucks, Paul Rudd and Steve Carell play an odd-ball pair of unlikely friends with a lot to teach other and an avalanche of catastrophe along the way. Rudd plays pretty-boy Tim, an ambitious businessman with a mean streak, while Carell plays Barry, a quirky guy with no social skills who wreaks havoc on Tim’s life. The broad farce is beefed up with physical comedy aplenty (a car crash! a sword fight! flying wine bottles!), and chugs along unevenly, with a hilarious joke here and poignant moment there mixed in with pregnant, squirm-worthy scenes that just won’t end.

Movie Review: Angelina Jolie’s Salt

Much of the movie is supposed to be squirm-worthy: Tim’s main goal is to get a promotion and impress his artsy girlfriend Julie (Stephanie Szostack) enough so that she’ll marry him. So when his boss invites him to a dinner where the powerful make fun of misfits, he jumps at the chance -- even if he has to bring an idiot with him. Julie, however, isn’t down with the dinner, rightly decrying it as “messed up.” Still, when Tim literally runs his Porsche into hapless Barry, he can’t help but think it was meant to happen (which becomes its own little running joke).

Movie Review: Inception

After the collision, antics ensue as Tim’s relationship hits the rocks in a major way and Barry just won’t get a clue. The saving grace between some of the less-funny, over-the-top moments (one of which involves a tall blond with a vinyl outfit and an obsession with Tim) are some of the smaller ones that pack a bigger punch. As Kieran, a self-obsessed artist with a thing for animal art (and a thing for Julie), Jemaine Clement delivers lines so over-the-top -- and so dead-pan -- that it’s tough not to laugh even before he opens his mouth.

At other times, it’s director Jay Roach’s (Meet the Fockers) feel for poignancy that adds a layer (however thin) of nuance to the movie. Carell, meanwhile, walks the line between irritating and pitiful with ease, letting us cringe at Barry one minute and feel sorry for him the next, especially when he shows off his art built with dead mice, which he calls “mousterpieces.” Dinner for Schmucks is a comedy through-and-through, but also offers a heavy dose of redemption -- that is, if you can stomach the bumpy ride there.

Kenneth Turan thought watching it was "something of a chore", but fans lined up in droves. Despicable Me brought in an astounding $60.1 million at the box office this weekend, exceeding expectations by at least $20 million.

Steve Carell, going into his last season in The Office, is the lead voice in the animated 3-D Despicable Me.
