Ashton Kutcher Lands $700,000 Per Episode 'Men' Deal?

Ashton Kutcher might not be having much luck with his love life right now but his career certainly seems to be working out okay. Since he took over from the troubled Charlie Sheen in the sitcom Two and a Half Men, the programmes ratings haven't exactly soared, in fact, they appear to have plummeted. Regardless of this, CBS executives are rumored to be preparing a $700,000 per episode deal for Kutcher to remain in the show next season.

OK! Magazine have reported on this staggering news, with the additional news that the ratings have dropped from an estimated 13 million households tuning into Sheen's episodes, to a disappointing 10.3 million. There were high hopes for Ashton's inclusion in the popular comedy, and a whopping 28 million were curious enough to tune in for his premiere in September but it looks as though the majority of those decided not to stick around. Clearly, Cbs have cash to burn when it comes to Two and a Half Men, as Kutcher's co-star Jon Cryer will be getting an equal pay-check, with Angus T Jones on $300,000. Nina Tassler, the Entertainment President at Cbs, described Ashton as "an extraordinarily professional, talented, funny, gifted actor who comes with a tremendous amount of commitment and enthusiasm."

Ashton's buddy Mila Kunis recently denied the rumors that the pair had started dating, saying that the claims were "ridiculous." She's not the only celebrity who's had to do that recently; Rihanna also laughed off claims that she and Ashton were stepping out together.
