Producers of the hit TV show Two And A Half Men, have reportedly found a younger replacement for Charlie Sheen, none other than heartthrob Ashton Kutcher.
Sheen, 45, was fired by producers Warner bros and CBS, three months ago after bouts of wild partying, repeated hospitalisations and a media campaign against his studio bosses.
And Kutcher, 33, signed a deal with producers Warner Bros last night to play lothario Charlie Harper on the show, reported E! Online. Hinting at his new role, Kutcher wrote on Twitter, “What’s the square root of 6.25?’... The answer being 2-1/2.”
Sources close to Warner confirmed that Kutcher signed on the dotted line to replace Sheen following months of uncertainty over the future of the CBS series. Meanwhile discussions with Hugh Grant’s representatives are said to have faltered, ending his chances of being on the show. The actor was in negotiations to take on the role of Sheen’s character Charlie Harper.

Brangelina sued by their ex-secretary
London: Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are being sued by a former employee at their French estate after she was fired while on a sick leave.
The woman, who has remained anonymous due to confidentiality clauses in the contract she signed before being employed, worked as a secretary at their Miraval chateau in the South of France.
She was dismissed by a manager at the estate and is now seeking 80,000 euros in compensation for unfair dismissal, reported Femalefirst.
“It’s a drop in the ocean for these stars. She has nothing against them personally and says she was always treated well. But they did not step in to prevent her being dismissed,” said the former employee’s lawyer Emmanuel Ludot.
