Huffington Post - The former "That 70's Show" and "Punk'd" star has agreed to join "Two and a Half Men" as Charlie Sheen's replacement, The Hollywood Reporter relays. He's putting the final touches on his contract, which will offer him a "huge payday," according to THR.
Rumors around Kutcher's casting began to swirl earlier on Thursday. He most recently starred in the romantic comedy film "No Strings Attached."
Kutcher replaces Sheen, who, after having helped make the show the number one comedy on television, was fired for a long set of rants against the series' creator, Chuck Lorre.
He has since gone on to mount a very public life with his porn star
girlfriends, continuing to rail against Lorre and CBS in his "Violent Torpedo of Truth" road show. At one point, he said he wanted old friend Rob Lowe to replace him.
That's like saying you can replace Michael Scott on The Office. It just can't be done. Two and a Half men should have died right when Charlie Sheen got fired. Although I still plan on watching The Office because pretty much every person on that show is funny, I will no longer be watching Two and a Half Men without Sheen. I would rather kill myself that watch that Jake, Allen, and Ashton Kutcher together. Bad move CBS. Long live Sheen.
