Hugh and a Half Men?

Ha! I bet no one else came up with that headline to report the news that Hugh Grant is in talks to take over from Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men! (*conducts Google search*) Oh. Oh, right.

With its lead actor fired in circumstances that garnered very little publicity, and in no way brought to mind the phrase 'massive great mountain out of a molehill', Two and a Half Men finds itself in limbo halfway through its eighth season.
