Charlie Sheen's Replacement Is Who? (CBS)

It's quite obvious to everyone that Charlie Sheen won't be back as his role of Charlie Harper in CBS' CBS hit sitcom, 'Two and a Half Men.' E!Online is reporting that CEO Les Moonves met with John Stamos about replacing Sheen in the show, not as a replacement for Sheen, but as an additional character. "They were at the bar talking and Les asked John if he'd be interested in replacing Charlie," one source close to the situation says. "It wouldn't be to play Charlie's character but they talked more about introducing a new character." On Friday, Stamos denied those rumors. In a tweet, he wrote, "Contrary to the rumors, I am not replacing Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men. however, Martin Sheen has asked me to be his son." Benzinga will have more on this story as it develops, and how it will ultimately affect CBS's stock performance in the short and long runs.
