Royal wedding gets Disney treatment on the Web

Prince William’s marriage to Kate Middleton had all the elements of a fairytale, and some have created Disney comparisons to prove it.
A side-by-side image of the now Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their wedding day and a shot of Prince Charming and Cinderella has become just as popular as images from the real-life April 29 ceremony. The image has clearly been doctored, as the original Prince Charming has dark hair and was wearing a light-colored jacket, but even without the touch-ups they bear a few similarities.


William and Kate's wedding day kiss – which was more of a peck, but whatever – also apparently looks a lot like the smooch “The Little Mermaid’s” Ariel shared with Prince Eric.
And although there wasn’t an evil sea witch or stepmother bent on ruining Kate’s walk down the aisle (thankfully!), every fairytale has to have a villain or two and in this case….well, the Internet has handed those roles to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

The two women, who sparked plenty of chatter thanks to their creative fascinators on the day of the wedding ( Princess Beatrice is currently selling hers on Ebay for charity), have been compared to Cinderella’s mean ugly stepsisters more than once.

Kutcher replaces Sheen on 'Two and a Half Men'

It's official: Ashton Kutcher is filling the gap left by Charlie Sheen on "Two and a Half Men."
"I can't wait to get to work with this ridiculously talented 2.5 team and I believe we can fill the stage with laughter that will echo in viewers' homes," Kutcher said Friday in a statement released by CBS and Warner Bros. Television.

"I can't replace Charlie Sheen but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people!"
Kutcher, who gained his early fame on a TV sitcom, "That 70s Show," has more recently been seen on the big screen. His last film was "No Strings Attached," which hit theaters in January.
He's also made his mark as a TV executive producer, most notably for MTV's hidden-camera show "Punk'd."

"Ashton is a pop culture triple threat -- film star, cutting-edge producer and a social media pioneer," said Nina Tassler, the head of CBS Entertainment. "He brings creativity, energy and personality to everything he touches. We are thrilled to have him."

CBS and Warner Bros. did not disclose how much Kutcher will earn. Sheen, who is embroiled in a lawsuit over his sudden dismissal from the show in March, was earning a reported $2 million for each episode.
Sheen responded to the news by praising Kutcher while taking a shot at the show's executive producer, Chuck Lorre.

"Ashton Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer. Oh wait, so am I!!," Sheen said in a written statement. "Enjoy the show America. Enjoy seeing 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB. Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there."

Producers had been scrambling in recent weeks to find a replacement for Sheen to keep one of TV's highest-rated sitcoms on the air for another year.
