After two months of negotiations, "Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen is close to finalizing a new salary pact with producer Warner Bros. Television that would make him the highest-paid comedy star in television today.

Sources said Sheen will earn in the neighborhood of $350,000 per episode this season under the new deal, a big increase from his previous salary in the low six figures. Sources said CBS is kicking in some money for the pay raise for Sheen, as has become common practice for networks in high-level actor renegotiation deals.

Sheen also is known to have a significant profit-participation stake in the series, now in its fourth season. The top of the sitcom actor pay scale remains the nearly $2 million per episode Ray Romano pulled in for the final season of CBS' "Everybody Loves Raymond" in 2004-05.

He began renegotiating his deal with WBTV for "Two and a Half Men" in July, shortly after the studio sold the comedy to Tribune Broadcasting stations for big bucks in broadcast syndication and to FX for cable syndication for about $750,000 per episode beginning in 2010.

Reps for WBTV, CBS and Sheen declined comment Wednesday.
