Charlie Sheen’s replacement revealed

Ashton Kutcher has signed with CBS and Warner Bros. to replace Charlie Sheen on the hit sitcom, Two and a Half Men. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Kutcher will be paid $1 million per episode (Sheen was paid $2 million per episode). Kutcher let the news slip last night when he tweeted the cryptic message: “What’s the square root of 6.25?” His twitter followers realized what he meant when they figured out the answer is two and a half. According to The Hollywood Reporter, series creator and writer Chuck Lorre has crafted an ingenious storyline to introduce the 33-year-old actor to viewers. A source said: “It’s really funny. People are going to love it.” Another source added, “Chuck’s really happy.” It’s believed that Kutcher will bring a younger fan base to the show, and with 6.7 million Twitter followers, he’ll be an asset to CBS as far as promoting the show through social media. Sheen was fired last March after he publicly insulted Lorre on a radio show, then called him “a contaminated little maggot” in a note to an entertainment site.
