Bye Bye Sheen - Hello Ashton

Heartthrob and Mr Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher is to replace the Warlock Charlie Sheen in hit US show Two and a Half Men when production restarts. Kutcher made his name in the Fox teen comedy That 70s Show and has gone on to host the prank show Punk’d and star in numerous movies (not all of them worth checking out).

"I can't replace Charlie Sheen but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people," Kutcher said.

"We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Ashton joining our family," added Chuck Lorre, the show's creator and executive producer.

"Added to that is the deep sigh of relief knowing that our family stays together. If I was any happier, it'd be illegal."

Sheen hasn’t commented yet but I am sure when he does it won’t be short of controversy.
