OS ANGELES - Machete-waving mad dog Charlie Sheen tapped a new wellspring of hatred Tuesday, showering scorn on co-star Jon Cryer and attacking his former bosses in a venomous video diatribe.
Sheen stared straight into the camera, puffed on a cigarette and seemed to be reading cue cards as he called his Monday termination from "Two and a Half Men" an "illegal" act of "high treason."
Dubbing himself the "Malibu Messiah," he methodically maligned CBS head honcho Les Moonves, Warner Bros. TV President Bruce Rosenblum and the hit show's creator, Chuck Lorre.
"Think of me often, loser, during your most quiet moments," he said to Lorre. "All alone in the world, staring into the mirror, your least favorite activity. Think of me as you pray to the silly god of AA while begging refuge from the contaminated image of hatred and dismay that so painfully glares back."
He then called Lorre a "feeble abortion" and said, "you picked a fight with a warlock, you little worm. Remember this, after your first drink back. The drink you know you want."
The latest installment of his "Sheen's Korner" show on Ustream.tv followed an outburst earlier in the day directed at Cryer.
Sheen posted yet another foul-mouthed UStream rant Tuesday night.
"Jon has not called me," the out-of-control actor grumbled to E! Online. "He's a turncoat, a traitor, a troll."
He vowed their relationship, like his job on "Two and a Half Men," is kaput - so Cryer shouldn't bother reaching out now.
"What's there to say? I'll tell him, 'You're a little late. Goodbye, troll,' " Sheen said.
"When I'm starring in multimillion-dollar films and he's begging me for a supporting role, I'll say: 'You left me out in the cold with all your guilt and stupidity.'"
Sheen said other cast and crew members - including "half man" Angus T. Jones and director James Widdoes - were "not trolls" because they called.
Cryer has declined repeated requests for comment, but a source close to the actor said Sheen was off base.
"Jon has reached out to Charlie. He decided not to speak publicly out of respect for what he's going through," the source said.
Sheen, 45, was fired from the sitcom Monday after a bizarre two weeks in which he trashed his TV bosses, shacked up with two girlfriends, launched a Twitter feed that attracted 2 million followers and coined self-promoting catchphrases like "Winning!".
The pink slip didn't deflate his ego, and he continues to attack the show's producers.
"They viewed me as fool's gold. I am pure gold. They are the fools," he told the Daily News in a text message.

He's already vowed the "biggest-ever" lawsuit, and his lawyer Martin Singer told TMZ.com they plan to start with Lorre. Sheen's contract battle with Warner Bros. is headed to arbitration.
Warner sent Singer a scathing 11-page letter Monday arguing that Sheen broke his $2 million-per-episode contract with "self-inflicted disintegration."
"Mr. Sheen's physical appearance, inability to deliver lines, inability to collaborate creatively with staff and crew, inability to work with the executive producers, inflammatory comments poisoning key working relationship" and drug use nullified his contract, the letter first obtained by TMZ.com says.
After he was canned, Sheen expressed relief that he was "free" and later climbed to the roof of a Beverly Hills office building to wave a machete and drink from a bottle labeled "Tiger Blood."
He claims he doesn't care if the show returns with a new actor in the lead.
TMZ reports that Sheen has a so-called "Michael J. Fox" clause in his "Men" deal that means he keeps drawing a paycheck as long as it's on the air.
An ailing Fox kept earning his salary when Sheen replaced him on the sitcom "Spin City" in 2001.
Sheen told the News he's got bigger plans to worry about now.
"Movies? Hello!? Duh!!!" he said in a text.
