CBS is clearing up any confusion and speculation about the rebooted version of Two and a Half Men before it premieres in September. There has been a lot of speculation about how Charlie Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper, will be ejected from the show since Sheen was fired by Warner Bros. Television in March.

According to the President of CBS, Ashton Kutcher will officially be replacing Charlie Sheen, which we have heard numerous times over the past few months now. Kutcher will be playing an “internet billionaire with a broken heart” who will share no family connection to any of the other characters on the show. It should be pretty interesting to see how Chuck Lorre will be incorporating a broken-hearted, internet billionaire into the show and how he ends up having a connection with the existing characters.

As for how Charlie Harper will be leaving Two and a Half Men, the first episode of the new season will kick off with Charlie Harper’s funeral. Someone is really going for the jugular with this not-so subtle dig at Charlie Sheen.
