Ashton Kutcher Replacing Charlie Sheen on Two and A Half Men

Although studio executives are not confirming it at this point, sources are telling Hollywood Reporter that Ashton Kutcher is going to get a huge payday for replacing Charlie Sheen on Two and A Half Men.

Apparently Hugh Grant passed on the opportunity so Chuck Lorre wrote a storyline that would fit Ashton Kutcher. And according to a source: “It’s really funny,” People are going to love it.”

If you think about it, he will be a fabulous asset. He soared to fame in That 70′s Show and his personality and comedic timing are perfect for Two and A Half Men. It’s doubtful his character will be like Charlie’s but that doesn’t mean it will be less funny. True to the original timeline of May 18, a decision is all but inked.

At one point they were considering a few guys including Jeremy Piven, who if you think about it, would be very similar to Charlie’s character (and FABULOUS).

Despite formal confirmations not coming from CBS, Warner Brothers or Kutcher’s rep, Kutcher did tweet about 1/2 hour ago:

what’s the square root of 6.25?

Duhhhhhh 2.5. Winning. What do you think? A good fit or not?
