There’s been a lot of buzz today regarding the news that Hugh Grant was in talks to replace Charlie Sheen on “Two and a Half Men.”

Gossip Cop confirms the British star had been in serious negotiations to assume the role of Sheen’s philandering Charlie Harper, but the talks seemingly fell through.

We’re told it’s “unlikely” that the negotiations will resume.

The site Deadline reported that Grant had been offered more than $1 million per episode, but an insider familiar with the discussions tells Gossip Cop that figure is dead wrong, and way too high.

Still, the news about Grant shows that Warner Bros, who produces the CBS show, is serious about keeping the series on the air, even without Sheen.

Gossip Cop will update when we learn more about the show’s fate.

Would you watch a Sheen-less “Two and a Half Men”?
