Not Punk'd! Charlie Sheen Replaced By Ashton Kutcher

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Unless CBS, Warner Bros. and actor Ashton Kutcher are punking us, it looks like the former "That 70s Show" star is going to replace Charlie Sheen next season on "Two and a Half Men."

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that "a deal is all but signed."

In Kutcher, CBS adds a well-known comedy name, a Twitter-universe star, a tabloid darling and business executive and TV producer ("Punk'd," "True Beauty" and "Beauty and the Geek, to name a few) who, by all accounts is always easy to work with.

Kutcher, 33, remained mum about the impending deal but did Tweet: "I'm starting to become convinced that people put my name in articles just to improve their SEO or hoping I'll tweet it."

If Kutcher isn't joining the cast, he's having fun with his fans and followers and increasing speculation. Ever-clever, Kutcher asked his fans "What's the square root of 6.25"? (The answer is, hold for it...2.5)

The former male model has been married to actress Demi Moore since September 2005.
