Charlie Sheen has broken his silence about being replaced by Ashton Kutcher. Guess what? It's not profanity-laced! The axed 'Two and a Half Men' star told TMZ that "Kutcher is a sweetheart
and a brilliant comedic performer ... Oh wait, so am I!!"
"Enjoy the show America," Sheen said. "Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB." The "2.0" is in reference to the Nielsen demographic rating, which Sheen seems to think will slip now that he's no longer with the show.
"Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton," Sheen told the gossip site in reference to 'Men' creator Chuck Lorre. "There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there."
Sheen's last public communication with Lorre was a letter ripping the executive producer's plans for rebooting 'Men.'
"My fans may tune in for a minute, but at the end of the day, no one cares about your feeble show without me," Sheen said in the profanity-filled letter. "Shame on you. Not even a phone call to the man that put you on the map. The man that put 500 million dollars in your pockets."
"I can't wait to get to work with this ridiculously talented '2.5' team and I believe we can fill the stage with laughter that will echo in viewers' homes," Kutcher said in a statement. "I can't replace Charlie Sheen but I'm going to work my a** off to entertain the hell out of people!"
After months of much speculation, Charlie Sheen's 'Two and a Half Men' replacement has finally been selected and it's not Hugh Grant. CBS and Warner Bros. Television confirmed on Friday that
Ashton Kutcher has landed the plum role of the lead star in CBS's comedy hit.
"I can't wait to get to work with this ridiculously talented 2.5 team and I believe we can fill the stage with laughter that will echo in viewers' homes," Kutcher said in press release about the move. "I can't replace Charlie Sheen but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people!"
Chuck Lorre, creator and executive producer of the show, also chimed with praise for the film and TV star. "We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Ashton joining our family," Lorre said in the CBS-Warner Bros' annnouncement. "Added to that is the deep sigh of relief knowing that our family stays together. If I was any happier, it'd be illegal."
The Hollywood Reporter was first to report the casting on Thursday night. Sources also said Kutcher is set to get a "huge payday" for joining the show, but no word on the actual amount. According to TMZ sources, Kutcher will be making between $625,000 - $900,000 per episode. Sheen's base salary was $1.25 million an episode.
Kutcher added fuel to the casting fire Thursday night, when he cryptically tweeted, "What's the square root of 6.25?" The answer, it turns out, is 2.5.
In the casting announcement, WB TV boss Peter Roth called Kutcher a "big-time talent whose unique style will blend seamlessly with Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones and the rest of this terrific ensemble."
'Two and a Half Men' producer and Charlie Sheen-nemesis, Chuck Lorre, has reportedly put together a clever storyline for Kutcher. "It's really funny," one source said. "People are going to love it."
The role will mark Kutcher's first regular series acting gig since his star-making turn on 'That 70's Show.' The 33-year-old actor has been doing movies and executive producing TV shows like MTV's 'Punk'd' since the FOX series ended in 2006.

It's only a matter of time before Charlie Sheen's face is plastered next to the word 'winning' in the dictionary -- but for now, he'll just have to settle for a 'Winning' musical collaboration with Snoop Dogg.
Although the entire song will not premiere in full until it drops on iTunes tonight at midnight, E! Online has the warlock and the Dogg's video preview of the musical snack -- and we have a feeling with the amount of puff puff pass going on in the video, some literal snacks were involved in the making of the video as well.
Sheen debuted the collaboration with Snoop and Filter guitarist, Rob Patterson, at the Detroit stop for his 'Violent Torpedo of Truth' tour last month but after being booed off the stage, he ripped the video from the majority of his latter national appearances.
"Well, the genesis of the song is about, you know, winning," Sheen told E! "I think Snoop did a really good job at kind of encapsulating the whole vibe of, you know, the movement."
But the single won't only further catapult Sheen into winning warlock status, it will also help victims of the tornadoes that hit the South last month -- a portion of the proceeds from 'Winning' will be donated to Sheen's 'Torpedos Against Tornados' initiative.
Although the jury is still out on whether 'Winning' will be an actual success, Sheen is counting his tour as one for the maniacal.
"Overall as a grade on this as a team I think we went 17 [wins] and 4 [losses]," Sheen said. "I know there's a couple in there that felt sorta phoned in but gave me the inspiration for the following night when it was all passion and lunacy."
'Passion and Lunacy' -- we couldn't have said it better.

It was the shot heard round the world more than 20 years ago when it hit newswires that Charlie Sheen had accidentally shot, then, fiancée, Kelly Preston. But now, Sheen is changing his story.
According to TMZ, during his live 'My Violent Torpedo of Truth,' show in Vancouver, he said that Preston shot herself.
In fact, Sheen wasn't even in the same room as Preston when the shot was fired, he was downstairs drinking coffee. As the ex-'Two and a Half Men' star tells it, Preston picked up a pair of his pants from which a concealed revolver fell to the bathroom floor and discharged before the bullet or shrapnel ricocheted from the toilet and into Preston.
Quite an intricate story for someone who wasn't there, no? But Sheen says the next thing he knew, Preston was standing at the top of their stairs, naked and covered in blood.
So why take the bullet for the bullet? According to TMZ, Sheen said he knew he would be blamed for it anyway.

What do you get when you combine Bieber Fever and Tiger Blood? A “winning” collaboration. No, Justin Bieber is not hopping on Charlie Sheen’s “Torpedo of Truth” Tour, as he is busy on his own
World Tour. However, the 17-year-old singing sensation does support Charlie and his influence on today’s society.
Justin was asked by Time magazine who he thinks is the most influential person in the world right now.
His response, via NY Post, “[It] has got to be Charlie Sheen. He’s got a million followers in one day on Twitter. And… I’ve never seen that happen before. Plus, he’s got tiger blood, and he’s always winning.”
But Charlie reportedly didn’t make the annual Time 100 list, which is revealed tomorrow.
You think Justin made the list? Who else would you like to see on it? Was Charlie snubbed?

Charlie Sheen, the formerly winning "warlock," is still on a rampage with ex-wife Denise Richards, saying he will keep trashing her during his stage show until the actress returns the dogs he has
accused her of stealing. However, a source with direct knowledge of the situation says Denise will never return the pets because she claims at least one dog and two lizards have died under his supervision in the past.
"You can trash Denise all you want, but one thing you can't say is that she doesn't love and care for her animals," a friend of the former sitcom star tells me. "These poor dogs were in a terrible condition when he gave them back to her."
As was previously reported, Charlie returned two pugs to Denise, but one of them died of malnutrition. Now, he wants the surviving dog back to be his companion on his tour bus. Denise, of course, has declined. During a Cleveland performance of his 'Torpedo of Truth' tour, Charlie led the audience in a chant of "f**k that b***h" aimed at Denise.
My well-placed source also delivers the shocking claim that Charlie is at least partly responsible for the deaths of two prized lizards as well at the now-Sober Valley Ranch.
"His Chinese water dragon died because he didn't take care of it and a while back, when he was married to Brooke, his bearded dragon fell in the pool and died," my source says. "Again nobody was watching the poor thing."
This latest attack on Denise comes after months of name-calling, public verbal abuse and ugly emails. All because Denise refused to allow her daughters, who she has full custody of, to be part of a Dateline special where Charlie wanted to show what a great parent he was after his twin sons got removed from his home.
"I know Denise well and if Charlie wants to continue slamming her in his show that's his choice. She is not backing down," a friend of Charlie's tells me. "What's amazing is how little regard he has for how this affects his children."

On March 29, Miley Cyrus did something she swore she'd never do again: She returned to Twitter.
Cyrus quit the social networking site in 2009, claiming it interfered too much with her private life,
and shut it down for good. She has since been Twitter-less -- until now.
Most recently, Cyrus tested the waters and tweeted via her producer Rock Mafia's page two weeks ago. "This is my new way to connect," she tweeted. "When I need to speak out I will tweet from @Rock_Mafia."
Just four days later, Cyrus opened her own account under the name "gypsyhearttour."
Cyrus mentioned that one of the main reasons she came back on Twitter was to follow Charlie Sheen, "Do not fear...the Sheenius is here!" I'm not gonna lie. I came back to twitter for 2 reasons. My fans and to follow @charliesheen #winning."
Her new Twitter account may be a promotional tool for her upcoming Gypsy Heart tour, but Cyrus has already slipped into her old routine, tweeting, "Yo guys! Its MC! Thank you so much for my KCA! PS I am taking over the Gypsy Heart twitter! Gotta keep ya posted on tour ... Lets get me back to as many followers as before!!!!!! SO EXCITED FOR TOUR I CAN BARELY STAND IT."
Cyrus' return to Twitter seemed unlikely since she recently told Australia's Sydney Telegraph that she does not tweet. "I do not social network, I try to stay out of it," she said. "I complain enough about people knowing too much about my private life, so to go out there and exploit myself would be silly and hypocritical."
Miley Cyrus' Gypsy Heart world tour kicks off in Quito, Ecuador, on April 29.

From warlock to recording artist, Charlie Sheen has been making some major moves in the past few months. His latest? He's recording a song with Snoop Dogg.
According to PEOPLE, Sheen and Snoop have recorded a song for Sheen's upcoming 20-city tour, 'My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option Show.' The first show is set to hit the stage in Detroit this weekend, so we have a feeling our ears will be tickled with Sheen and Snoop Dogg's jingle soon enough.
Word of the song first came to light after Sheen tweeted a photo of himself, the rapper and producer, Rob Patterson, getting down to business in the studio. What we wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall when those two were pitching lyric ideas to one another.
Sheen tweeted, "Warlock meets his makers-music makers that is @SnoopDogg @robpatterson666 get ready to rock the Sheenius within!"
Snoop, himself, has also been quite the busy doggie lately. According to Billboard, he just released his album, 'Doggumentary,' and is also in talks to appear in a comedy alongside fellow rapper, Wiz Khalifa.

Everything was going along rather normally on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' Monday night. He was interviewing Mark Cuban, but in doing so they inevitably started talking about Charlie Sheen.
What they may not have realized is that all that tiger's blood in his veins allows Sheen to hear his name being mentioned anywhere in the greater Los Angeles area.
"Charlie's a smart guy," Cuban was saying. "He doesn't get near the credit that he deserves for being smart." At that moment, Sheen erupted onto the set, flinging curse words and T-shirts at Jimmy Kimmel's audience. He'd brought in several samples of his own line of T-shirts emblazoned with his new catchphrases, like "Duh, Winning!" and "I Have Tiger's Blood in Me."
Sheen brought something even more special for Kimmel himself. He extended his hands out, pulled Kimmel in and planted a big kiss on him.
When Kimmel asked him how he was doing, he responded, "Your lips are very moist." Same old Charlie Sheen, he seemed as scattered as ever

Just when it seemed like the drama in Charlie Sheen's life was settling down a bit, things have once again taken a turn for the worse.
Sheen's porn star pal Kacey Jordan, with whom he allegedly partied during the January binge that culminated in a trip to the hospital, began tweeting messages that indicated a very disturbed mental state prior to her admission at Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital today, according to RadarOnline.com.
Jordan, whose real name is Courtney Roskop, wrote, "I just snorted a fat line," followed by admissions "i've over done it... the more i do...i keep passing out... i just pray i wake up each time" and "i keep fainting. i guess i'll have to do more and see what that does."
The XXX star, who had an abortion last month after allegedly becoming pregnant with Sheen's child, wrote, "i took a bunch of pills...drank a hotel size bottle of jack... stumbled to the bathroom to weigh myself.........86 lbs," following which hotel staff allegedly raided her room.
As to her reasons for the disturbing behavior, Jordan described, "those 16 hours i was with charlie sheen... messed me up... i can't get that image out of my head... i think i keep trying to feel his pain."
According to TMZ, when police arrived on the scene, Jordan was surrounded by pill bottles and broken glass and even tried to cut herself with a corkscrew when authorities tried to speak to her about her seemingly suicidal messages.
Despite her brush with death, Jordan seemed to be back to her old, er, tricks, soon enough, tweeting, "i will be better in no time...I'm Soooo bored in this hospital bed! I wanna have someone save me... And kpuff doesn't have underwear?

While Charlie Sheen and the rest of the happy campers at the Sober Valley Lodge drink tiger blood and win all day, goddess Rachel Oberlin has been dealing with some less-than-glamorous issues of
her own.
During the first installment of his online chat show, 'Sheen's Korner,' this weekend, Sheen mentioned that Oberlin, better known as porn star Bree Olson, had to "take care of some business" in "some small town in the middle of America."
Sheen and his other girlfriend, Natalie Kenly, mentioned that Oberlin hadn't disclosed the specifics of where she was going, and for good reason: RadarOnline.com reports that the allegedly sober XXX star has been in Fort Wayne, Ind., attempting to resolve the case surrounding her arrest on a charge of DUI last month.
Oberlin was arrested by police in Fort Wayne on Feb. 3 on suspicion of DUI and was held in the Allen County Sheriff's office for more than 12 hours.
Although her lawyer has not entered a plea as of yet, the judge has chosen April 26 as the jury selection deadline, with the trial to begin on June 8.
A court official says, "The case will not go to trial if she pleads guilty before these dates, but that did not happen today."

Charlie Sheen sat down with the 'Today Show' for a candid conversation Monday morning and gave some insight into what is no doubt one of the more bizarre celebrity stories in recent memory.
CBS, home to Sheen's sitcom 'Two and a Half Men,' voiced concern over the actor's reported drug binges involving multiple porn stars during the past few months -- concern the actor took offense to, claiming he is at war with CBS.
"[We're] definitely at war. The war is that they are trying to destroy my family, trying to take all my money, leaving me with no means to support my family," Sheen told 'Today.
Sheen, who (until recently) starred in the hit CBS comedy, is lauded as the highest paid television actor, reportedly making close to $2 million an episode.
Those paydays, however, are now long gone, according to CBS. The network released a statement Friday evening announcing it had halted production on the sitcom for the remainder of the season.
"Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production of 'Two and a Half Men' for the remainder of the season," the network said in a statement, first reported by TMZ.
Sheen fired back, claiming he's clean of all drugs.
"Look at me, duh ... drug tests don't lie. The scoreboard doesn't lie," he said.
Sheen said that boredom led him to alcohol and drugs. He has also voiced his distaste with Alcoholics Anonymous and said he overcame his addiction problems himself.
"I closed my eyes and made it so with the power of my mind," he said of his new sobriety. The actor completed treatment with an at-home "crisis management center," which he dubbed the "Sober Valley Lodge."
"It's primary patient achieved radical success," he said with a grin, adding that he's not concerned about relapsing. Sheen labeled those who relapse as "trolls" and "weak."
He also claims he'll not pass up a glass a champagne when celebrating, but has "no interest in cocaine."
And as for continuing his Hollywood career, Sheen said he wants to continue working in TV and movies, hinting that the world has yet to see his best work.
"Come on, bro, I won best picture at 20. I wasn't even trying," he said, adding that he'll continue to work on 'Men,' but not without some more pointed comments aimed at show runner Chuck Lorre over the status of the show's scripts and the fate of the cast and crew.
After spewing out direct questions to Lorre -- including "Why is it that when I was ready to return to work, you told me there were no scripts ready to shoot?" -- Sheen read a passage from the AA Handbook about acceptance.
"Accept me, Chuck," Sheen said.
Sheen's rants toward Lorre -- including an alleged anti-Semitic remark -- and his recent radio interviews bashing CBS led to the network's decision to halt production on 'Men.'
The second half of Sheen's 'Today' interview airs Tuesday morning on NBC
