I know you were all worried that actor Charlie Sheen was nearly out of money, after his last goddess took of with a pile of Tiger Blood swag and souvenirs and branded Warlock Tour merchandise (allegedly) to sell on eBay.

But you "Two and a Half Men" Sheen fans can rejoice: Charlie Sheen is winning once again and will be on TV (network TBA) in Lionsgate produced: "Anger Management."

Radaronline and TMZ both broke the news first that the smallcreen series is a television adaptation of the 2003 movie Anger Management.

Sheen, 45, broke bad with showrunner Chuck Lorre over his antics on the CBS hit sitcom series "Two and a Half Men."

"Charlie is excited about going back to work and looks forward to playing a different character other than [Two and a Half Men's] Charlie Harper," Sheen's manager, Mark Burg, whose production company Evolution Management is one of the show's creators, said to People.com. "I can guarantee you that Charlie will not be wearing a bowling shirt on the new show."

"I chose Anger Management because, while it might be a big stretch for me to play a guy with serious anger management issues, I think it is a great concept," Sheen says in a statement released by Lionsgate TV. "It also provides me with real ownership in the series, a certain amount of creative control and the chance to be back in business with one of my favorite movie producers of all time, Joe Roth."
