“Two and a Half Men” fans may have another season with Ashton Kutcher to look forward to.

The actor, who had signed a one-year deal after Charlie Sheen was fired from the hit series, said on Wednesday he “would be interested in doing more.”

Kutcher and some members of the “Men” cast and crew, including creator Chuck Lorre, discussed the show’s future at the Television Critics Association’s winter gathering in Pasadena, California.

“The deal that we structured for the show was kind of a test deal,” Kutcher explained, adding that “having a show people like and want more of, that will dictate my decision” on whether to continue.

During the show’s summer hiatus, Kutcher says he’ll film “a couple of movies.”

Kutcher’s return hinges on whether he and CBS can come to an agreement.

New year, new Charlie Sheen.

“I’m not crazy anymore,” the actor announced at a Television Critics Association event on Sunday, explaining, “That was an episode.”

The “episode,” of course, refers to Sheen’s months-long, tiger blood-infused meltdown last spring that led Chuck Lorre to fire him from “Two and a Half Men” and the world to wonder whether the often-troubled star had finally spun totally off the rails.

Now Sheen says that’s all behind him.

On Sunday he said, “I think I’m a different person than I was yesterday. Everything is a lot more mellow and focused and much more rooted in reality.

Sheen’s traded in porn stars and drugs for quieter pursuits.

“I’ve been spending a lot of time with the kids, a lot of time with the family and I’m getting back into work mode,” says the actor, whose new FX show, “Anger Management,” will begin production shortly.

He says he’s not been in touch with Lorre, but hopes to “get some closure” with his old boss at some point.

MTV is bringing back “Punk’d.”

The hidden-camera celebrity prank show, originally hosted by Ashton Kutcher from 2003 to 2007, will return with Kutcher as an executive producer.

But the “Two and a Half Men” star will not be in front of the camera.

As Gossip Cop reported back in August, a rotating group of hosts including Justin Bieber is expected to be involved.

According to new reports, MTV will announce more details about the revived “Punk’d” – including hosts – during its New Year’s Eve countdown on December 31.

The network has been in the nostalgia game recently, bringing back old favorites like “Beavis and Butt-head” and “Yo! MTV Raps.”

In a new interview with TV Guide, Chuck Lorre says he had no choice but to shut down production on “Two and a Half Men” during then-star Charlie Sheen’s troubles, explaining, “You can’t do that much cocaine and work.”

“I didn’t want to be writing a sitcom while my friend died. Or worse, hurt someone else,” says Lorre.

He adds, “We couldn’t be complacent. There was a tragedy unfolding right in front of us. There was violence and blackouts. On a certain level, if you’re looking the other way, you’re responsible.”

Lorre also talks about bringing in Ashton Kutcher to replace Sheen.

“I thought, why not find out if we can do it? If we failed, what have we failed at? Making a sitcom? Then it became exciting. We got to do something none of us ever dreamed of doing: We got to end a series and start a new series in 20 minutes.”

Charlie Sheen is returning to TV this summer.

His show, “Anger Management,” based on the Adam Sandler-Jack Nicholson film of the same name, has been bought by FX.

So far, 10 episodes have been ordered of the comedy about a mellow guy who’s ordered to take anger management classes from a hothead therapist.

Sheen is set to star as the therapist, the role played by Nicholson in the movie version.

And here’s the best part — FX is also where Sheen’s last show “Two and a Half Men” is shown over and over in reruns.

At the time it was announced Sheen signed up for the show, the actor cracked, “I chose Anger Management because, while it might be a big stretch for me to play a guy with serious anger management issues, I think it is a great concept.”

FX beat out ABC, FOX, NBC, and cable networks Comedy Central, TV Land, and USA Network among other for the series.

On Monday night’s “Two and a Half Men,” Kutcher’s recently divorced character Walden Schmidt hits a bar with Cryer’s character Alan Harper to get back in the game.

After attempting to pick up a couple of women, one of them finally tells Schmidt, “I’m going to have to spell it out for you,” and then kisses her girlfriend.

Not willing to admit he was trying to pick up the lesbian couple, Kutcher responds, “Oh, you thought we were hitting on you,” and kisses a very surprised Cryer, who mutters, “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.”

WATCH:

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were spotted a couple of times together over the past few days.

The actress reportedly visited Kutcher on the set of “Two and a Half Men” on Friday, spending the day in his luxurious trailer while he filmed scenes for the show.

Moore’s daughter Rumer Willis is said to have accompanied her for the visit.

A source for Us Weekly says that when Kutcher wrapped filming for the day, ”He put his arm around Demi and they acted like a couple. They were talking and smiling at each other. Everything seemed just like normal.”

Kutcher and a thin looking Moore were also photographed taking a drive in his car over the weekend.

The couple has not commented on rumors that Kutcher cheated with 22-year-old Sara Leal after a boozy night out in San Diego last month.

Gossip Cop has reached out to reps for Moore and “Two and a Half Men” to confirm that she visited the set.

Ashton Kutcher cheated on Demi Moore with Sara Leal, according to Us Weekly.

The new report expands on last week’s rumors that the couple’s marriage is in trouble after Kutcher allegedly cavorted in San Diego on his sixth wedding anniversary.

According to the magazine’s source, a “raucous party” at the Hard Rock Hotel included Kutcher having sex with Leal and hooking up with her friend in his high-priced suite’s hot tub.

The night before his anniversary reportedly began with the “Two and a Half Men” star hanging at nightclub Fluxx with friends including Danny and Chris Masterson, chatting up women before heading back to his hotel suite.

Described as “a fixture on the San Diego party scene,” Leal – and her friend – were invited from a neighboring room into Kutcher’s place after 4:00 a.m. on the morning of September 24.

Within minutes, says an Us source, “they were all naked in the hot tub, making out! They left about an hour after and said they both hooked up with him.”

While acknowledging that the couple appeared together at Rosh Hashanah services after the alleged scandal first broke, Us points out that there have been no comments by either star’s representative, nor has Kutcher stridently denied the rumors as he did last year when a tabloid linked him to a woman named Brittney Jones.

There’s still been no word from Kutcher’s camp.

Amid rumors of a split and allegations that Ashton Kutcher was unfaithful to Demi Moore while partying in San Diego last week, the two were seen together today at the Kabbalah Centre in L.A., where they took part in the services for the second day of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

Paparazzi tried to get shots of the two together, but were unable as Kutcher pulled the couple’s Lexus to a side exit, which Moore came out of and quickly jumped into their car.

So far, neither Kutcher nor Moore have directly addressed the reports.

However, yesterday the “Two and a Half Men” star took to Twitter to post a link to the Spotify page for the Public Enemy song, “Don’t Believe the Hype,” as well as tweeted, “When you ASSUME to know that which you know nothing of you make an ASS out of U and ME.”

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have not directly addressed reports that they have split — amidst allegations that the “Two and a Half Men” star was recently unfaithful — but the actor has turned to Twitter to hint that what’s being said is not entirely accurate.

Early this morning, Kutcher simply posted a link to the Spotify page for the Public Enemy song, “Don’t Believe the Hype.”

And just a little while ago, he tweeted, “When you ASSUME to know that which you know nothing of you make an ASS out of U and ME.”

Meanwhile, Kutcher remains on the West Coast, where he’s filming his TV show, while Moore has been in New York.

Reps for the two stars have still not commented.

Was Ashton Kutcher naked – for real – on the “Two and a Half Men” set?

Amid speculation that he’s splitting from Demi Moore, Life & Style magazine claims to know “The Naked Truth About Ashton,” alleging that the star went all the way when he stripped down for his show’s premiere.

“Actors usually wear underwear in front of the studio audience, but not Ashton,” says a so-called “set insider,” who insists, “He walked around buck naked, take after take.”

According to Life & Style, the chance to catch a glimpse of Kutcher in the buff has created a frenzy.

“Being naked a lot is part of his story line. Now everyone in Hollywood is clamoring for tickets to tapings,” explains the mag’s source. “It’s a sight to see!”

Actually, it’s a sight no one sees.

Despite tabloid fantasies, there are no naked “Men” on set.

A spokesperson for Warner Bros. tells Gossip Cop the story is totally “inaccurate.”

Once again, Life & Style is the one getting exposed.

Star magazine is reporting that Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher have split up after six years of marriage.

A source for the tabloid says, “They’re finally done for good,” explaining, ”Ashton was a serial cheater, and Demi just couldn’t take it anymore.”

The mag says Kutcher was “flirting up a storm with hot, scantily clad partiers at San Diego’s Fluxx nightclub on September 23,” and cites a report on TheDirty.com, in which an unnamed source tells the blog Kutcher hooked up with a 23-year-old blonde named Sara Leal.

“The fact is, Ashton really misses the bachelor lifestyle,” says a supposed insider for Star, adding, “He’s been setting up dates with tons of girls behind Demi’s back for a while now.”

The tabloid also claims the couple has been “living separate lives for months,” noting that Kutcher is filming “Two and a Half Men” in Los Angeles, while Moore has been spending time in New York.

Star says Moore has been seeing other people as well, quoting another so-called “insider” as saying that she’s been “setting up lunch and dinner dates with several of NYC’s most eligible bachelors,” although the names of the supposed suitors and when the alleged outings occurred are conveniently left out.

While Star‘s reporting should be taken with a grain of salt, Kutcher and Moore’s Twitter activity — or lack thereof — has certainly raised some red flags regarding the state of their marriage.

Neither tweeted any mention of their sixth wedding anniversary on September 24, and they spent the day apart.

The day before their anniversary, Moore wrote, “When we are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself & study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger,” quoting Greek philosopher Epictetus.

Gossip Cop has reached out to reps for Moore and Kutcher, but has yet to hear back.

A year ago, Star wrongly reported Kutcher cheated on Moore with a woman named Brittney Jones.

Although Charlie Sheen and “Two and a Half Men” creator Chuck Lorre reached a settlement yesterday in the lawsuit related to Sheen’s termination from the show, Lorre may not entirely be ready to put the matter behind him.

Last night, Lorre posted a vanity card at the end of the sitcom — now starring Ashton Kutcher – in which he alluded to the Sheen saga, saying, “Sometime last year I realized I had become the unwilling contestant in a reality show. I didn’t understand the rules, wasn’t sure if there even were any, and pretty much hated every second of it. For many months I kept hoping and praying that it would end. But it did not.”

Lorre further wrote, “Somewhere along the way, something inside me died. Anyway, now, suddenly, I’m being told that the reality show’s been cancelled. Apparently, it was just one of those things that somehow got out of control. Sorry. Whoops. Live and learn. Moving on. Game over.”

“There’s just one problem. That thing inside me that died? It walks at night. It’s angry. It’s hungry. And worst of all…it’s writing a tell-all book.”

Back in February, Sheen himself was reported to be shopping a book to publishers.

Do you think Lorre is serious about penning a Sheen expose, or is he just taking another rip at the Warlock?

Gossip Cop has reached out to the writer/producer’s rep for a comment, but has yet to hear back.

Charlie Sheen and Warner Bros. have settled the lawsuit related to his termination from “Two and a Half Men.”

“Warner Bros. Television, Chuck Lorre and Charlie Sheen have resolved their dispute to the parties’ mutual satisfaction,” reads the official statement.

It continues, “The pending lawsuit and arbitration will be dismissed as to all parties. The parties have agreed to maintain confidentiality over the terms of the settlement.”

As Gossip Cop reported last week, a deal between the two sides had been close.

Now it’s official.

Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed, but it’s believed Sheen will be paid roughly $25 million.

Sheen originally sought $100 million from executive producer Lorre and the studio behind the hit sitcom on which he starred for eight seasons.

The ninth season premiered to enormous ratings last Monday, with Ashton Kutcher joining the cast.

Ashton Kutcher and Charlie Sheen were both winners last night.

Kutcher’s debut on “Two and a Half Men” drew an audience of 27.8 million, a record for the show — more than any episode during Sheen’s eight-year reign.

But Sheen was a winner, too.

His Comedy Central roast last night had a record-breaking 6.4 million viewers, the most the cable network has ever had for its annual insult-fest. The term #SheenRoast and the names of some of the comics who skewered him were also trending topics on Twitter.

So, the question is… who do you think was the bigger winner?

Charlie Sheen and Warner Bros. are reportedly close to hammering out a deal to settle their legal issues.

Sheen, who began his legal battle with the studio after being fired from “Two and a Half Men,” will be paid approximately $25 million to settle his contract, reports the Los Angeles Times.

In the wake of Sheen’s partying, refusal to seek help, and publicly blasting Warner Bros. and “Two and a Half Men” creator Chuck Lorre this past spring, the studio canceled the remainder of last season. And following more of Sheen’s verbal attacks, Warner Bros. eventually fired him.

The highest paid actor on TV, Sheen was making $1.2 million an episode. For just the remaining eight episodes that were nixed last season, and the 24 shows he was supposed to have shot this season under his contract, Sheen would have earned $38.4 million — not to mention the millions more those 32 episodes would have generated in rerun residuals.

Whether it’s genuine contrition, growing up, or part of the settlement agreement, a humbled, more apologetic Sheen has emerged this past week.

Sheen admitted to Jay Leno on the “Tonight Show,” “I would have fired my a**, too,” and at the Emmys told the “Two and a Half Men” cast and crew, “From the bottom of my heart I wish you nothing but the best for this upcoming season.”

The new “Two and a Half Men” premieres tonight with Ashton Kutcher.

Charlie Sheen dropped in on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on Thursday to promote his upcoming Comedy Central roast and discuss his wild ride through 2011.

The former “Two and a Half Men” star actually sounded humble and reflective during his appearance, agreeing with Leno that he was “out of control” during last spring’s media frenzy and saying of his bosses’ decision to dump him, “I would have fired my ass, too.”

Sheen describes his catchphrase-laden interviews earlier this year as “a runaway train that I was the reluctant conductor of – and it just kept going.”

As for his “Two and a Half Men” replacement, Ashton Kutcher, Sheen is fully supportive. “It’s hard to give advice to a guy that accomplished… I would just give him a hug and just say, ‘Make me proud, dude.’”

Charlie Sheen was roasted Saturday night for a Comedy Central special that will air on September 19, and Gossip Cop has some of the jabs directed at the former “Two and a Half Men” star.

“Family Guy” creator and the evening’s Roast Master, Seth MacFarlane, first introduced Sheen, who came onstage as Slash jammed in the background [See VIDEO below].

MacFarlane then said that “Two and a Half Men” will soon have a funeral for Sheen’s character on the show, but noted, “You can just wait a couple months and see the real thing.”

MacFarlane next read an obituary he wrote about Sheen dying in his apartment, and cracked, “I kinda just copied Amy Winehouse’s obituary,” though he said he “had to change a few things… like calling [Sheen] a ‘talent who will be missed.’” [VIDEO below of MacFarlane's "obit."]

“Charlie, you claim to have ‘tiger blood,’” said MacFarlane, “but after all the porn stars you’ve banged, it’s probably Tiger Wood’s blood.”

Jeff Ross, who was on tour with Sheen, held no punches. The funnyman, dressed Muammar Gaddafi, joked, “Charlie if you’re ‘winning,’ something is wrong with the f**king scoreboard.” He added, “If you’re winning, this must not be a child custody hearing.”

Ross then said, “The only time your kids get to see you is in re-runs — don’t you want to live to see their first 12 steps?”

Jon Lovitz first cleared up that Sheen is “nothing like character he plays on TMZ.” He then jabbed, “How much blow can Charlie Sheen do? Enough to kill ‘Two and a Half Men.’” The former SNL star continued: “Charlie is still close to all his exes. Why he just took Brooke Mueller to Mexico where he banged her a** so hard three bags of coke fell out.”

Kate Walsh, not known as a comedienne, joked, “Charlie, you’re an incredible medical specimen, one of the benefits of waking up at the crack of crack.” She then zinged, “It’s amazing, after abusing your lungs, liver and kidneys, the only thing you’ve had removed is your kids.”

Comedian Anthony Jeselnik, whose humor can be very dark, referenced Sheen’s stint on “Spin City.” Jeselnik said, “The only reason you got on TV in the first place is because God hates Michael J. Fox.”

Steve-O said, “Charlie and I have a lot in common. We both love porn, we’ve each done a ton of drugs, and neither of us are actors.” He then directed to the roastee: “Your nose is like my a**, there’s nothing you won’t shove up there.”

William Shatner pointed out, “I’ve had sex in space with green women. You’ve had sex with blue women — because they couldn’t handle their drugs.”

Comedienne Amy Schumer cracked, “You’re just like Bruce Willis… You were big in the ’80s and now your old slot is being filled by Ashton Kutcher.”

Then it was time for Sheen’s rebuttal. And he came out swinging at the previous roasters.

The actor said, “Seth MacFarlane, dude to dude, what’s Comic-Con p**sy like?… Kate Walsh, I don’t know anybody who watches your show, because I date woman who can still get their period.”

“Jon Lovitz,” said Sheen, “just last week we chatted in the backyard and had a few laughs, then he got back on the mower and drove off.”

Sheen explained, “I asked William Shatner to be here because I needed some clean urine — I had to wring it out of the diaper, but it did its job.”

The star ended by saying, “Once again, I come out unscathed. You can’t hurt me… I did porn stars. I did drugs. Then I did the one thing everybody in America wishes he could do. I told my boss to f**k off… I’m done with ‘the winning’ because I’ve already won.”

Jon Cryer is allegedly terrified about a battle breaking out during his September 19 Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony.

According to the National Enquirer, it’s all because former “Two and a Half Men” co-star Charlie Sheen is making waves about coming, even though the event will also be attended by series creator Chuck Lorre, whom Sheen considers his archenemy.

The tabloid claims a “nerve-jangling text” from Sheen to Cryer that “virtually guarantees all-out war” has sent Cryer into a tizzy.

“He knows fireworks are certain if The Warlock and his nemesis, The Head Troll, come face to face – with him in the middle,” explains a so-called mag “insider.”

The source adds, “Jon doesn’t want to rock the boat with Charlie, but he’s not about to piss off the man who signs his paycheck, either,” leading the actor to fret, in the Enquirer‘s words, “that if both archenemies show, his big day’s ruined!”

Far be it from Gossip Cop to suggest the Enquirer is creating panic out of thin air, but this is the same publication that once said Robert Downey, Jr. could be Sheen’s “Two and a Half Men” replacement.

In other words, the tabloid’s “insiders” when it comes to the show and its stars seem to be on the outside.

Don’t expect any kind of Lorre-vs.-Sheen brouhaha on Cryer’s big day.

Jon Cryer must continue paying $8,000 in monthly child support to ex-wife Sarah Trigger, even though her parental rights over their son, Charlie, have been reduced drastically.

The “Two and a Half Men” star has been arguing that he shouldn’t be forced to pay his ex, whom he divorced in 2004, because the court cut her time share from 65 percent to just 4 percent over the years.

Cryer paid $10,000 per month through 2009, when Charlie lived mostly with Trigger.

He now has primary custody, but must still pay $8,000 as per a family court decision that was affirmed by an appeals court yesterday.

The court says that erasing Cryer’s monetary obligation to Trigger entirely could have a detrimental effect on their child.

Cryer’s been married to Lisa Joyner since 2007.

The couple adopted a baby girl named Daisy in 2009.

Jon Cryer dishes on the new season of “Two and a Half Men” with Ashton Kutcher in a revealing interview with Entertainment Weekly.

The actor, who plays Alan Harper on the hit sitcom, says Charlie Sheen‘s character will not simply go away after his tragic death on the season premiere.

“The history of the show does not go away at all,” says Cryer. “It will be dealt with all through the first season. It’s not, ‘Oh, that character’s gone, let’s forget completely about him.’ There will be ramifications all through the season.”

As for his dynamic with Kutcher’s character, Internet billionaire Walden Schmidt, Cryer says, “I can only say my character ends up being the more romantically experienced one of the two of them. So Alan becomes sort of a mentor character to Ashton’s character. And as bad as an idea as that sounds, it’s just as bad on the show — I’m a terrible mentor.”

Cryer also tells the mag the plot details of the upcoming season are highly secretive, and that producers have only “cryptically hinted at stuff,” such as that “One of the characters will be institutionalized, but they don’t say which character or what kind of institution.”

“I don’t mind that because to me that feels like life — you never know what’s going to happen next. And God knows last year proved that to me,” notes the actor, referring to Sheen’s notorious meltdown and subsequent firing from the sitcom.

But will Cryer be tuning into Sheen’s Comedy Central roast?

“I’ll DVR it, out of curiosity,” he says.

“Denise Richards has turned down an offer to appear on the premiere episode of ’Two and a Half Men,’ because she thinks Charlie Sheen would make her life miserable,” claims TMZ.

According to the site, “Producers offered Denise a guest starring role for the debut with Ashton Kutcher, but they say she told them she wouldn’t do it because ‘She would never hear the end of it from Charlie.’”

Really?

Well, yes and no.

While Gossip Cop can confirm that the show offered her a role and “she passed,” a source close to Richards tells us it’s “not true” she turned down the guest spot because she Sheen would make her life “miserable,” and she would “never hear the end of it from Charlie.”

Ashton Kutcher might be making even MORE money from “Two and a Half Men” than initially believed.

Charlie Sheen‘s replacement is set to earn between $800,000 and $900,000 per episode, with “back end” profits that could lift him above the $1 million mark each week, according to TMZ.

That’s a lot of money – even more than the $700,000 figure widely reported when he first struck his “Two and a Half Men” deal.

Sheen, of course, wound up raking in roughly $2 million from each episode of the hit sitcom once his own profit-sharing was factored in, making him far and away TV’s highest-paid sitcom actor before his termination.

Kutcher now holds that title.

Charlie Sheen will star on the upcoming season of “Celebrity Big Brother,” reports the Daily Star, which says the actor has signed a $10 million deal to appear on the U.K. reality show.

The outlet writes that Sheen is “due to jet to Britain in the next two weeks” to begin filming the series.

According to the paper, “Bosses are convinced Sheen’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ involvement will make it ‘unmissable TV.’”

A so-called television “insider” explains, “No one would want to miss the chance of seeing what he’s up to and hear the wacky things he’s saying. And let’s face it, he’s been saying some crazy stuff recently.”

But while it’s true that the former “Two and a Half Men” star’s appearance on the show would attract high ratings, everything else about this story is FALSE.

A rep for Sheen tells Gossip Cop that reports of him joining “Big Brother” are ”totally untrue.”
