  Charlie Sheen's successor has been chosen, and it's not the rumored Woody Harrelson, Jeremy Piven or Rob Lowe. Twitter lovin', light-hearted actor Ashton Kutcher has accepted an offer to replace the troubled actor on Two And a Half Men, according to TMZ. A few changes will ensue: Kutcher won't revive Sheen's role as Charlie Harper, and he'll also get a butchered paycheck compared to his predecessor.

While Charlie raked in $1.25 million per episode, Kutcher will be cashing in at somewhere between $625,000 and $900,000 per show. The show's creator, Chuck Lorre, has scripted a new character for Kutcher to portray alongside returning star Angus T. Jones. A source said Lorre, who's been in a public embittered battle with Sheen, is "really happy" with the choice.

Kutcher took to Twitter on Thursday evening with a telling riddle: "What's the square root of 6.25? The answer is 2.5, or Two and a Half."

What a trickster. How long do you think Two And a Half Men will air with its new frontman?
