After weeks of enduring his ranting and raving, after he hit them with a $100 million lawsuit, do CBS and Warner Bros. really want Charlie Sheen back?

The internet is currently ablaze with reports that the network and studio have offered Sheen his old job on "Two and a Half Men," the same one from which he was fired earlier this month.
RadarOnline.com reported that CBS president and CEO Les Moonves has been in talks with executives at Warner Bros. and "Two and a Half Men" creator Chuck Lorre about finding a way to work with the trouble star again. HollywoodLife.com has alleged that Sheen's discussions with rival Fox about a late-night chat show sparked CBS into action, with the network trying to win him back.
Watch: Will CBS take Charlie back?
NBC's Jeff Rossen, who interviewed Charlie for his multi-part NBC special report, is in a Twitter over the potential re-hiring. "Sources close to Charlie Sheen tell NBC News, CBS has offered him his job back. Discussions ongoing. Not a done deal," Rossen tweeted.
Reps for all entities - Charlie Sheen, CBS and Warner Bros. - declined to comment to ABCNews.com when contacted about the matter.

The popular sitcom, "Two and a Half Men," was put on hiatus in January after Charlie was hospitalised and sent to rehab. Following this, Charlie publicly condemned show-creator Lorre, Warner Bros. and CBS, via a series of TV and radio interviews, alleging they barred his return to work. Charlie then filed a $100 million lawsuit, alleging a conspiracy among Warner Bros. and Lorre to shut down the show.
