Charlie Sheen Tweets Congrats to Kutcher


CBS and Warner Bros. have officially welcomed Ashton Kutcher to the "Two and a Half Men" family.

"We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Ashton joining our family," "Men" creator Chuck Lorre said in a statement. "Added to that is the deep sigh of relief knowing that our family stays together. If I was any happier, it'd be illegal."
Kutcher concurred. "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," the actor said. "I can't replace Charlie Sheen, but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people!"
How much will Kutcher make working on the show? The Wall Street Journal reports Kutcher will be paid around $1 million per episode, but it wasn't clear if the actor would share in any back-end profits.
Cryer chimed in, "I'm jazzed about the news this morning that 'Two and a Half Men' is coming back! For all the rest of the cast and crew I'm sure they are equally excited. I want to express my enormous gratitude to Charlie Sheen for 8 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. 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."
Former "Men" star Charlie Sheen said in a statement, Ashton Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer. Oh wait, so am I!! Enjoy the show America, Enjoy seeing 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB. Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there."
Later though, Sheen tweeted his congratulations to Kutcher. "#Winning Congrats to the cast and crew...CBS & WB..! My best to @aplusk !! The show must go on... You got the right guy! c," to which Kutcher replied, via his own tweet, "@#2.5 @charliesheen Thanks man. Always been a fan, always will be! BTW you were 'born big'"
Kutcher, whose career began on FOX's "That '70s Show," will join Jon CryerAngus T. JonesHolland TaylorMarin Hinkle and Conchata Ferrell on the top-rated series. Production on the ninth season of the Emmy Award-nominated series will begin this summer for broadcast in the fall on CBS.

Lindsay Lohan -- I'm Staying Clean ... FOR LIFE


Lindsay Lohan plans to stay on the straight and narrow for the REST OF HER LIFE -- telling friends, she's serious this time ...  no drugs, no booze, no breaking the law ... ever again ... PERIOD.

Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ, the actress had an epiphany after her sentencing -- and is completely at peace with the judge's decision ... community service, fines, counseling, shoplifters alternative class ... the whole package.

Technically, Lindsay is REQUIRED to stay sober during her formal probation -- which ends after she completes her 480 hours of community service -- but we're told, it doesn't matter ... Lindsay's committed to sobriety for the long haul.

One thing ... Lindsay does take issue with the three-year probation itself -- telling friends she doesn't think she deserves it -- but que sera sera ... she has learned to accept her fate.

Bottom line -- her friends are adamant ... Lindsay has learned her lesson once and for all.

Kristen Stewart Praises Foster's Influence


Kristen Stewart says her favourite actress is Jodie Foster.
The 'Twilight' star appeared in the movie 'Panic Room' when she was just 12 and she admits the double-Oscar winner has had a huge influence on her career.
She said: "One of my favourite actresses is Jodie Foster. I think this has a lot to do with me starring in my first movie with her. I watched her a lot on set. Jodie is not the kind of person to give advice, but she was definitely a strong influence on me."
Kristen's influences don't only come from her professional peers, she also is a huge music fan and admits her favourite artists have had an effect on her.
She added: "I'm a bit of an old soul when it comes to my musical tastes. My all-time favourite song is 'Madame George' by Van Morrison. That song never gets old to me. There's something comforting and raw about it."

Jon Cryer: Excited for New Two and a Half Men Co-Star

We already know what Charlie Sheen thinks of Ashton Kutcher coming on board Two and a Half Men. But what about the man who will actually be starring alongside him?
Jon Cryer released his first statement on the addition of Kutcher today, saying:
"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."





Adding that he's "jazzed" to work with Kutcher, Cryer actually gave Sheen - the man who once called him a "troll" - a shout-out: "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."
What a class act.

Jesse James: I Am One F*%ked Up Individual!

Jesse James is forthright if nothing else. In an interview with Men's Journal, he continues to open up about how he ruined his marriage to Sandra Bullock.
"I never shied away from anything I did. I took full responsibility," he asserts. "I cheated on my wife. Guess what? So do millions of other men."
"To be honest, it was unfair for me to even be in a relationship," he says of their marriage. "I sabotaged everything. I was never 100 percent in."
"I'm self-destructive. I made some seriously f*%ked-up choices."



Jesse James checked into rehab shortly after news of his infidelities broke, a decision that he says changed his life forever, and for the better.
"I was an animal in a cage. I needed to escape before I cracked up or did something really stupid. I don't know why I went. I just needed help."
"I went into it thinking, 'All these people in this place? They are really f*%ked-up.' I figured out pretty fast that I was the really f*%ked-up one."
"I realized I was addicted to anger. And it was going to be up to me to straighten sh!t out. My life kind of started over. I hit the reset button."
James turned to his friend (and now his fiancee) Kat von D for help.
"Back when I was listening every day to some new person say what a f*%k-up I was, I hit the wall. I had a day where I was literally wondering how much more of this I could take. And one person reached out," he recalls.
"Guess who that was? Everyone else thought I was toxic. The fact that Kat is willing to be with me now? And get demonized in the tabloids for it?"
"God, I really love her."
Helps that Kat's amazing in bed, of course.
But seriously. It doesn't excuse or change what he did, and he will have to live with that forever. But here's hoping Jesse really has turned the corner.

Rihanna and Chris Brown: Following Each Other on Twitter!


Chris Brown is totally following Rihanna on Twitter! And vice versa! Let's hear it for letting bygones be bygones and patching things up via social media!
According to an impromptu investigation, both are not only following each other, but added each other very recently. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?!?!?
Asked by a fan why she would follow Brown and if this meant something significant, Rihanna Tweeted back, "its fu**in twitter, not the alter! calm down."

A judge recently lifted the restraining order prohibiting them from having contact. It had been in place since he beat her up more than two years prior.
Rihanna basically said at the time that she was doing him a favor - no restraining order makes it easier for him to attend award shows and the like.
Just the same, she clarified that they have no relationship. If nothing else, following each other's Tweets implies some kind of relationship. Right?
