Culture: “Two & a Half Men” not so bad without Charlie Sheen

  • Ashton Kutcher didn’t bomb during premiere? According to USA Today, the introduction of his new character to “Two and A Half Men” was nearly seamless. Sure, they had to start with a funeral for Charlie Sheen’s legacy, but the show picked up with the same tone as before. Whether or not that’s a good thing, we’re still not sure of. source

  • nice When asked to react to news that Ashton Kutcher would replace Sheen on “Two and a Half Men,” he had this to say: “Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer.” And he has way more followers than Charlie.
  • not-so-nice However, Chuckie had more to say to the producers of the show. “Enjoy the show, America. Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB,” he said. Hear that? That’s the sound of a man with a chip on his shoulder. source

Culture: We just found the most useless slideshow in online news history

  • Mila Kunis. Ashton Kutcher. Topher Grace. Most of the cast of “That ’70s Show” is still famous and in the news enough that a “Where are They Now?” slideshow isn’t really necessary. But that didn’t stop CNN from making one. The only real surprise is the very last one. source

U.S.: Chatroulette’s maker more interested in surprise nudity than school

  • The last three years at school, I haven’t done anything. I just can’t make myself. There’s so much interesting stuff in the world, and I have to sit there with textbooks?
  • Chatroulette creator Andrey Ternovskiy • Regarding his feelings on school. An apparent juvenile delinquent, the Russian teenager created his way out of ever needing to finish school with Chatroulette, which is insanely popular, to the point that he only started making an effort to crack down on the nudity after Ashton Kutcher personally said something to him about it. Which is kind of hilarious. Actually, everything about this story is awesome. Well, except for the nudity. That’s pretty scary. source

Culture, Tech: Oprah and mikeyy: Two people Twitter users hate, apparently

  • Oprah’s a tweeter! Oprah, as promised, covered Twitter on her show today, giving the site the same sort of mainstream recognition that Jonathan Franzen didn’t want a while back. Some Twitter users apparently don’t want it either; one of the the trending topics today is #unfollowfriday, a reaction to Oprah, Ashton Kutcher and other celebrity tweeters diehards think are overexposing the service.
  • Mikeyy says “hayyyyyyy” Mikeyy, the Twitter worm that’s been spreading around for the last week, started populating Twitter in another set of mutations, this time welcoming Oprah to the service, trashing Soulja Boy, hitting on Ellen DeGeneres and overall just being a pain in the butt. Mikeyy doesn’t harm your computer, he just annoys you and all your friends because he thinks it’s funny. source

One of Moore’s fans called (not tweeted) the authorities, who put the woman in the hospital for a 72-hour psychological evaluation. And Moore, Ashton Kutcher’s wife and uber-tweeter, apparently sent a message thanking her fans for responding so quickly to the tweet. Nice work guys! source
