Aw, man, in news that couldn’t suck more, this is really up there: both Ashton Kutcher and CBS have alluded to the idea that Kutcher will be taking over Charlie Sheen‘s vacant role in Two and a Half Men. After a deal with Hugh Grant reportedly fell through (and I personally think a witty, hot British man is EXACTLY what the show just happens to need), Ashton swooped in to take a chance, and producers and executives have given it the OK so far:
Two sources close to the deal-making tell The Hollywood Reporter that the actor is putting the final touches on a deal to replace Charlie Sheen as the star of TV’s No. 1 comedy. CBS, studio Warner Bros. and Kutcher’s reps at CAA declined to comment on the situation but a deal is said to be all but signed. The exact dollar figure he will be paid is not known but a source says Kutcher is getting a “huge payday” to join the hit sitcom.
Even Ashton isn’t really trying to hide it – yesterday, he tweeted ‘What’s the square root of 6.25?’ (The answer, of course, is two and a half.)
Honestly? I’m not all that happy about this. I was an avid That 70’s Show fan, and it took me YEARS to take Ashton Kutcher seriously. Now it seems like he’s probably going to reprise his Michael Kelso-ish role, and I just don’t know WHAT to think.
This is too much to handle on a Friday.
Having NEVER found HG funny, I am glad.
Having AK replace CS is not correct, he is NOT stepping into the same role, it is a new role made for him. CS character is gone.
It’ll be the like the first episode of Kate Plus 8. People will watch to see how they deal without the main male character, then never watch again.
No
John Gosselin would be better than Ashton Kutcher at anything, including making love to Bruce Willis’ ex-wife. Looks like Charlie Sheen was right, that writer he was fighting hasn’t got a clue.
I love Charlie SHeen and I refuse to watch this hot mess that will be replacing him. CBS nd Warner Brothers needs to suck it up and get the real man back.
I think ashton will be way better then the other loser guy he is a drug head and a ass hole
