Winning...Winner ..Won...Aston Kutcher Replaces Sheen In "Two And A Half Men"

Ashton Kutcher is a winner! Charlie Sheen is now sipping on "puppy blood" these days.

After Kutcher cryptic Tweet dropping a big hint on his Twitter page late Thursday, asking, "what's the square root of 6.25?" (We did the math: it's two and a half.) CBS confirmed Friday morning that Ashton will be joining the cast of Two and a Half Men.

The show will start filming this summer and will air in the fall. While Charlie Sheen begged for his job back after eviscerating show creator and executive producer Chuck Lorre, Ashton won him over.

"We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Ashton joining our family," said Lorre. "Added to that is the deep sigh of relief knowing that our family stays together. If I was any happier, it'd be illegal." read more

Whenever you put out a new song, it seems to generate a catchphrase. Is that something you think about?


That’s what I always want to do – I’m attracted to songs that will become a dinner conversation! [laughs] With “Single Ladies,” clearly I’d just gotten married, and people want to get married every day – then there was the whole Justin Timberlake thing [recreating the video] on “Saturday Night Live,” and it was also the year YouTube blew up. With “Irreplaceable,” the aggressive lyrics, the acoustic guitar, and the 808 [drum machine] – those things don’t typically go together, and it sounded fresh. “Crazy in Love” was another one of those classic

moments in pop culture that none of us expected. I asked Jay to get on the song the night before I had to turn my album in – thank God he did. It still never gets old, no matter how many times I sing it.

The new single, “Run the World (Girls),” is a very bold statement for you.

It’s definitely riskier than something a bit more…simple. I just heard the track and loved that it was so different: it felt a bit African, a bit electronic and futuristic. It reminded me of what I love, which is mixing different cultures and eras — things that typically don’t go together — to create a new sound. I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That’s how I’ve gotten to where I am.


The new album is called “4.” Aside from this being your fourth solo album, what significance does that number hold?

We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me. It’s the day I was born. My mother’s birthday, and a lot of my friends’ birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding date.

What Caused Plus Sized Model Mia Amber Davis Death

Popular plus-size model Mia Amber Davis passed away yesterday due to complications following knee surgery. 

Davis’ husband, comedian Michael Yard, told celebrity gossip site TMZ.com that Davis was going to a Los Angeles hospital to have corrective surgery performed on her knee. Soon afterwards came the shocking phone call informing him that his wife had tragically passed away.

The plus-size model and actress, who scored some of the biggest laughs in the 2000 comedy Road Trip, could very well have suffered a pulmonary embolism—a blood clot that travels to the lungs—after undergoing surgery the day before, Dr. David Baron, former chief of staff at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center & Orthopaedic Hospital, tells E! News.

"It's rare, but it's a known complication of surgery," Baron said.  Davis, however, had outpatient surgery—common protocol for arthroscopic knee surgery, he adds. When a patient is sedentary after surgery, clots can develop, Baron says.

Davis was pronounced dead at Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center yesterday at 9:39 a.m. after collapsing at home.

"It depends how big the clot is," he says regarding the severity of the condition. "If it is a big one and it gets stuck in one of the major arteries of the lungs, there is a threshold where it is not survivable."

While Filming ,Will Smith 1,100 Ft Movie-Set Trailer Pisses NYC Neighbors

Multi-Millionaire and Star of MIB 3 has some explaining to do. The megastar has docked a gargantuan, double-decker moveable mansion for his "Men in Black III" shoot smack in the middle of SoHo -- even though he's renting a luxury apartment less than a mile away.


Clocking in at 1,150 square feet, the titanic trailer is larger than most two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments in the city. Rent is $9,000 a week

"Its ridiculous! I've lived here 26 years, and I've never seen anything this size," wailed Myrna Reisman, 62, who lives next to where the trailer was parked yesterday at Broome and Greene streets.

"This thing is like a duplex," said Reisman. "How would Will Smith feel if I parked that thing out in front of his house? People forget this is a residential neighborhood, not a film lot -- that thing is taking up half our gasoline reserve."

Rahman said the production arrived Monday with around 25 trucks -- including a second, 55-foot trailer featuring Smith's full-sized gym.

A satellite uplink on the roof can send Smith's movies to and from a 50-inch plasma TV or 37-inch TVs that pop up from cabinets. The trailer also features a 100-inch roll-down movie screen. Upstairs holds a lounge with a bar, enough office space for 30 people to hold a meeting, and the mobile offices of Smith's assistant and his personal writing staff.

Star Jones Ex-Husband Wants 50 G's For Talking Slick About Him

"Say My Name"...Say My Name" and have to pay me $50,000, at least that's what Star Jones ex- girlfriend Al Reynolds is hoping to gain. 

Fired "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant Star Jones' ex-husband, Al Reynolds, is demanding $50,000 from the loose-lipped diva for trashing him on "The Wendy Williams Show" and blasting his rumored current girlfriend -- her TV nemesis, NeNe Leakes.

Sources say Jones herself pushed for stipulation in her 2008 divorce agreement with Reynolds that they would not make "disparaging remarks" about each other's "personal, private or family life . . . including, without limitation, the other's family, companions, dates, acquaintances, or future spouses." Her lawyers insisted a breach of the clause requires the offending party to pay a $50,000 "liquidated damage penalty."

But, according to Reynolds, Jones forgot, went on Williams' March 25 show and trashed her almost four-year marriage, saying, "You know what . . . the wedding was fabulous, but the marriage was kind of booty."

To add insult to injury, Jones then went after Leakes, who became her biggest "Celebrity Apprentice" rival. After Leakes said that she "wouldn't spit on Jones" if she were on fire, Jones told Williams: "That is not a ladylike thing to say. Oh, but then again, we are talking about someone else here."


Banker-turned-professor Reynolds refers to outspoken "Real Housewives of Atlanta" reality star Leakes in the court papers as his "acquaintance." But Leakes has denied recent reports she was "revenge dating" him to get back at Jones, saying; "I don't know Al from a can of paint!"


Jones ignored the letter, we're told. Reynolds' attorney filed a complaint in Miami-Dade County Court last night.  Read  More
