Chuck Lorre is no stranger to public feuds, and he’s now stirred up a fresh fight with “The Bachelor.”

The TV show runner, who infamously butted heads with his former “Two and a Half Men” star Charlie Sheen, triggered the latest clash with the vanity card he produced for the end credits on “The Big Bang Theory” this week.

Lorre’s missive was mostly political (slamming Mitt Romney and certain policies), but also included the line, “What does it say about us when we think the institution of marriage is threatened by gay people who love each other, but not by idiotic game shows like ‘The Bachelor’?”

New year, new Charlie Sheen.

“I’m not crazy anymore,” the actor announced at a Television Critics Association event on Sunday, explaining, “That was an episode.”

The “episode,” of course, refers to Sheen’s months-long, tiger blood-infused meltdown last spring that led Chuck Lorre to fire him from “Two and a Half Men” and the world to wonder whether the often-troubled star had finally spun totally off the rails.

Now Sheen says that’s all behind him.

Although Charlie Sheen and “Two and a Half Men” creator Chuck Lorre reached a settlement yesterday in the lawsuit related to Sheen’s termination from the show, Lorre may not entirely be ready to put the matter behind him.

Last night, Lorre posted a vanity card at the end of the sitcom — now starring Ashton Kutcher – in which he alluded to the Sheen saga, saying, “Sometime last year I realized I had become the unwilling contestant in a reality show. I didn’t understand the rules, wasn’t sure if there even were any, and pretty much hated every second of it. For many months I kept hoping and praying that it would end. But it did not.”
