Ashton Kutcher will be taking the reins from Charlie Sheen on CBS? hit show ?Two and a Half Men,? according to multiple reports.
The actor, who is married to actress Demi Moore and got his start in showbiz on ?That 70?s Show,? is finishing up a deal to join the cast, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.�
A source says Kutcher is getting a ?huge payday,? according to the magazine.
But its nowhere near Sheen's haul.
Sources tell TMZ that while Sheen made a base pay of �$1.25 million an episode, Kutcher will be getting somewhere between $625,000 and $800,000.
She received upwards of $2 million once profit participation was factored in. Kutcher won't be getting a slice of that pie.
The news comes just after Hugh Grant reportedly ended discussions about joining the show, citing creative differences.�
Other Hollywood stars like Rob Lowe, John Stamos and Jeremy Piven were also reportedly considered to assume the lead role.
Sheen was fired from ?Men? in March after a series of booze and drug benders and tirades against CBS executives and Chuck Lorre, the show?s creator.
