Ashton Kutcher to Replace Charlie Sheen on ‘Two and Half Men’: Report

Ashton Kutcher is set to replace Charlie Sheen on CBS’ Two and Half Men, two sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The former star of That '70s Show is reportedly putting the final touches on a contract that will net him a “huge payday,” though no specific number has been revealed. Since Sheen’s public-relations fiasco got him axed from the successful sitcom, CBS has been looking for a big-name replacement to keep the show, a cash cow, running, and reportedly considered Hugh Grant as well. Executive Producer Chuck Lorre, who publicly feuded with Sheen, is said to be “really happy” with the Kutcher deal. Ashton himself has remained mum, cryptically tweeting, “I'm starting to become convinced that people put my name in articles just to improve their SEO or hoping I'll tweet it.”
