Ashton Kutcher renews 'Two and a Half Men' contract

Washington, May 14 (ANI): Ashton Kutcher has reportedly decided to renew his deal to return as Warren Schmit for the tenth season of the long running sitcom 'Two and a Half Men'.

Kutcher was brought in to replace Charlie Sheen on the show after his flare-up against the show's creator, Chuck Lorre, saw him lose his role on the show and begin a well documented descent into debauchery and hedonism.

According to Tinsletown journal The Hollywood Reporter, Kutcher will make slightly over 700,000 dollars he already makes, moving up to 725,000 dollars per episode (or about 15 million dollars to 16 million dollars per season).

Jon Cryer, who plays Alan Harper and has been in the show for all 10 seasons now, is said to make a little less than that, whilst Angus T. Jones, who plays Jake Harper, earns about half what Kutcher does. However both will experience similar pay increases to go with the one Kutcher is receiving, Contactmusic reported. (ANI)
