[5/13/11] Acting with an imminent deadline to keep alive a hit comedy after it had been derailed by Charlie Sheen's troubles this season, CBS and Warner Bros. Television said Friday that actor Ashton Kutcher will replace Sheen in "Two and a Half Men."
The show goes into production this summer and will be on CBS' schedule in the fall.
The deal apparently came together quickly, following reports earlier this week that negotiations with film actor Hugh Grant to join the show had fallen through. Kutcher is familiar to television audiences through his role on Fox's "That 70s Show," film roles like the romantic comedy "No Strings Attached" and for producing and hosting the prank show "Punk'd."
A deadline on deciding whether the show would continue was looming with CBS set to unveil its fall schedule to advertisers in New York next Wednesday.
Kutcher is not as well known as Sheen but is 12 years younger and has a huge following of fans who check in on his ever utterance on Twitter. He said Friday he believes that "we can fill the stage with laughter that will echo in viewers' homes.
"I can't replace Charlie Sheen but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people," he said.
Kutcher gave his followers a big clue Wednesday on Twitter that he may be joining "Two and a Half Men."
"What's the square root of 6.25?" the actor asked in a tweet.
The answer is 2-1/2.
Sheen offered his replacement a welcome on Friday — sort of.
“Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer ... Oh, wait, so am I,” Sheen said.

[4/4/11] By all accounts, Charlie Sheen's traveling stage show, "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option," failed bigtime on its opening night. The sellout crowd at Detroit's Fox Theater on Saturday booed the erratic star, shouted for refunds, and walked out early, leading Sheen to curtail his appearance after an hour. His broadly reworked second show, in Chicago on Sunday, went better. But repercussions from his disastrous effort in Detroit are already souring ticket sales for the tour's remaining 20 or so stops.

[3/10/11] Sheen filed a lawsuit Thursday against Warner Bros. and "Two and a Half Men" producer Chuck Lorre for $100 million, plus punitive damages, TMZ reports.
Sheen, 45, is demanding he get paid for the eight "Two and a Half Men" episodes that were canceled this year, and he's also suing to gain lost wages and benefits for the show's crew.
Sheen's lawyer Marty Singer drafted the suit, and, according to TMZ, writes in the preamble: "Chuck Lorre, one of the richest men in television who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, believes himself to be so wealthy and powerful that he can unilaterally decide to take money away from the dedicated cast and crew of the popular television series, 'Two and a Half Men,' in order to serve his own ego and self-interest, and make the star of the Series the scapegoat for Lorre's own conduct."

[3/6/11] Charlie Sheen has jumped from 112 to 85 with 1,895,761 followers. Two spots ahead of him? Denise Richards! Oddly, going to his actual page, Charlie has "only" 1,810,129 followers.
[3/5/11] Charlie Sheen now has 1,755,443 twitter followers and apparently set the record of most followers in a 24 hour period.
Still has a ways to go to catch Oprah who has 5,250,998 followers and Ashton Kutcher who has 6,407,439.
Looking now at twitaholic, Oprah is only tenth and Kutcher sixth. The others in the top eight (starting from number nine): Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Ellen, Kim Kardashian, Barack Obama, Britney Spears, Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga.
Charlie Sheen is currently 112th with 1,707,580 and rising. Just behind John McCain and just ahead of Women's Wear Daily. He'll probably break into the top 100 in a day or two.
... Here's how fast Charlie's followers have grown:
3/1/11 - 141,468
3/2/11 - 837,124
3/3/11 - 1,244,318
3/4/11 - 1,551,589
3/5/11 - 1,707,580
So it's slowing down with the big jump of nearly 600K on 3/2 and only 150K on 3/5.
