Ashton Kutcher is replacing Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men. Negotiations came down to the last minute as Chuck Lorre, executive producer to the show was also talking to Hugh Grant about taking over the lead role and network upfronts (when the networks announce their new and returning fall shows) next week. The clock was ticking pretty loud. Jon Cryer (Duckie) and Angus T. Jones will be returning. Ashton will reportedly receive a payday of $800,000 per episode which is just over half of the $1.4 million per episode that Charlie was making.
Of course Charlie Sheen couldn't leave this news without two cents...here it is.
"Ashton Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer. Oh wait, so am I!!" the actor griped Friday. "Enjoy the show America, Enjoy seeing 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB. Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there."
