Ashton Kutcher is winning. Is a winner! Has won!

After his 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.

"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," Kutcher said in a statement released by the network. "I can't replace Charlie Sheen, but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people!"

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."

CBS was smart to let Charlie show the world what a mean spirited person the REAL Charlie is.The CHARACTER the fans loved was created by Chuck. I am fed up with the real Charlie as he continues to spew hatred.

Charlie may have addictions, but who doesn't. It is the degree that separates us. But Kuston's 'little boy marries his mommy' relationship is just sick, sick, sick. Would never want my children to even get near him or her.

Ya know, a lot of times , a t.v. show can survive on its on air people and lousy writers for a time. But this shows success clearly lies in the writers.I think charlie secretly knows this, and I think he knows he blew it big time on this one.
