The latest report from TMZ 6-18-13 1pm PST:

Charlie Sheen has told “Anger Management” producers — FIRE SELMA BLAIR ASAP OR ELSE HE’S QUITTING THE SHOW … TMZ has learned.

We broke the story — Charlie has been on a mission to get Selma 86′d from the show because he believes she’s been complaining about him behind his back … trashing his work ethic.

Now, sources tell TMZ … Charlie returned to work Monday and told producers he wants the termination process started TODAY … or else he’ll walk.

It’s a big threat from Charlie — who’s set to make between $75 and $200 MILLION if he completes the 100 episode order for “Anger Management” … depending on how it does in syndication. We’re told Charlie’s completed roughly half of the 100 episode order.

We’re told Charlie understands that there can be complications with firing someone from a TV show … but he wants producers to begin drawing up an exit strategy for Blair by the end of the day.

Sources connected to the production tell us … Selma was not on set yesterday, though it’s unclear if she was scheduled to work.

This morning, Blair was spotted out on a walk with her kid — and when asked about her potential termination from “Anger” she just shook her head and replied, “I don’t know anything.”

We’re told FX network execs are currently in talks about how to handle the situation … but it’s unclear if Blair’s fate has been decided.

From TMZ this morning (6-17-13):

Charlie Sheen At War With Selma Blair – She’s Fired!

Charlie Sheen and Selma Blair are in an all out WAR on the set of “Anger Management” … so much so, Sheen says he fired the actress and REFUSES to shoot if she comes to set today, this according to sources connected to the show.

We’re told it all started when Selma complained to “AM” execs that Charlie was a menace to work with — claiming he’s late all the time and has a shoddy work ethic.

Problem is … the actor found out about it and was super pissed. We’re told Charlie felt Selma was out of line considering he’s the star of the show. And he specifically referenced himself learning 40 pages of lines per episode compared to her 2.

But sources close to Sheen tell us the actor did more than just complain … he told everyone HE FIRED SELMA altogether — although it’s unclear how official it was.

Charlie then made it clear to “AM” honchos … if Selma shows up to set Monday — when the show is scheduled to shoot — he’ll refuse to work.

And there’s this … we’re told Charlie now wants to extend an offer to Mila Kunis (a.k.a. Ashton Kutcher’s GF) for a 10 episode arch … at $1 MILLION per episode.

As for the network honchos … our sources say the execs are hoping it will all blow over. But we’re told Charlie specifically asked FX to support him in his decision. Calls to Selma’s people were not returned.

Now here they are in happier (scripted) times …
