It took less than a day, and the legend that is Charlie Sheen came out to speak about his “Two and a Half Men” replacement, Ashton Kutcher.
Sheen spoke with TMZ yesterday, and while his words toward Kutcher weren’t anything horrible, he did let his opinions known about the WB and Chuck Lorre. His choice quotations:
About Kutcher: “Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer … Oh wait, so am I!!”
About the Ratings and the WB: “Enjoy the show America…Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB.”
About Chuck Lorre: “Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton…There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there.”
Well, then!
Luckily, the non-fired “Two and a Half Men” star, Jon Cryer, is looking forward to the new path of the show, and it just happy that it’s coming back! In a statement to E! News, Cryer said
“I’m jazzed about the news this morning that Two and a Half Men is coming back! I want to express my enormous gratitude to Charlie Sheen for eight great seasons. I’m extremely proud of the work we’ve done together, and I will miss him. But I’m also looking forward to this new beginning.”
Concerning Kutcher, Cryer says:
“Ashton is an extraordinarily talented guy, and his presence will be an asset to our show…We are old friends from our male modeling days, and we’re both looking forward to being judged for our comedic artistry, as opposed to our exceptional physical beauty.”
Taking the high road. I like it….
However, in the end, when Sheen got word of all the good vibes coming from his replacement, he seemed to have changed his mind (whether genuine or not), tweeting, “#Winning Congrats to the cast and crew…CBS & WB..! My best to @aplusk !! The show must go on… You got the right guy! c.”
Kutcher replied, “#2.5 @charliesheen Thank man. Always been a fan, always will be! BTW you were ‘born big.'”
Let us know…will YOU watch the show when it comes back next season? Are you looking forward to Kutcher, or could no one replace Sheen?
This show is going to fail, I loved Two and a Half Men and I really don’t see how it can be the same…or better….without Sheen. Charlie Sheen and Charlie Harper are the same guy…so what if he parties, his lifestyle mirrors his character on the show, does he look too hung over when he goes into work…to play a role of a hungover guy? Getting rid of Charlie is a huge mistake…and seriously, Ashton Kutcher? I mean hes funny….but not the right kind of funny for Two and a Half Men.
