Hanes Strips Down Charlie Sheen Commercials

Gone are the days of Michael Jordan palling around in TV ads for the T-shirt brand with the embattled actor

Someone's tighty-whities must be in a bunch.

In the wake of Charlie Sheen's domestic woes, underwear powerhouse Hanes immediately pulled the actor's advertisements from on-air rotation.

"Hanes is not running the television commercials featuring Charlie Sheen, and those commercials will not run again," company spokesman Matt Hall tells E! News. "The commercials were suspended effective Dec. 28, the first date possible after Mr. Sheen's Christmas Day arrest."

Fortunately for Two and a Half Men's embattled star, we haven't seen the last of his face rocking the casual duds—on paper, at least.

"There are a few trade advertisements featuring Mr. Sheen scheduled to run this spring. Unfortunately, the production schedule of those publications does not allow us to pull those ads."

One important question still remains: Who will Michael Jordan diss now?
