Jon Cryer is 'jazzed' about future of 'Two and a Half Men'

Jon Cryer is 'jazzed' about future of 'Two and a Half Men'

Good morning! USA TODAY's Olivia Barker here, updating throughout the weekend.

Ashton Kutcher's new other half, Jon Cryer, has opened up -- and giddily so -- about the changes rocking the set of his old CBS show.

"I'm jazzed about the news this morning that Two and a Half Men is coming back!" he said yesterday in a statement that was notably diplomatic, praising both his former, now infamous co-star and his new, wildly popular one.

"I want to express my enormous gratitude to Charlie Sheen for eight great seasons," Cryer, 46, said. "I'm extremely proud of the work we've done together, and I will miss him. But I'm also looking forward to this new beginning.

"Ashton is an extraordinarily talented guy, and his presence will be an asset to our show." Seeming sincerity aside, Cryer then went for the deadpan: "We are old friends from our male modeling days, and we're both looking forward to being judged for our comedic artistry, as opposed to our exceptional physical beauty."

Maybe Cryer's diplomacy inspired Sheen, who sounded bitter in an earlier statement reacting to the Two and a Half news, to tweet an olive branch? "#Winning Congrats to the cast and crew...CBS & WB..! My best to @aplusk !! The show must go on... You got the right guy! c."

Kutcher sounded, well, jazzed by the shout-out: "#2.5 @charliesheen Thank man. Always been a fan, always will be! BTW you were 'born big.'"

Britney Spears -- Y'all Wanna Drive My Car?


Britney Spears' famous black Mercedes -- once known as the most dangerous car in L.A. -- will soon be displayed in a Chicago auto museum ... and TMZ has learned the people behind the exhibit are letting one lucky fan get behind the wheel.

0513_Britneys_car_volo_auto_museum_ex

Britney has one hell of a history in the 2008 Mercedes Benz SLK 320 -- she blew through red lights, wreaked havoc at all hours of the night and smashed into another car in a parking lot ... for which she was later arrested on a hit-and-run charge. 051311_britney_x17_still

Now, the car is set to go on display at the Volo Auto Museum just outside of Chicago on June 26 ... the same day the museum will hold a drawing to let one lucky Britney fan drive the car around town for a day ...

... as long as the winner agrees to obey all traffic laws.

Tom Sizemore's Missing Girlfriend -- FOUND


Megan Wren, the missing girlfriend of actor Tom Sizemore, has been found ... TMZ has learned.

0514_tom_sizemore_EXD

Wren had been missing since March 31 -- and, as TMZ first reported, Sizemore was questioned by law enforcement as part of the investigation into her disappearance.

We're told Wren is with her father at the moment.

Sizemore tells TMZ, "I am relived and happy Megan is safe and sound. It is unfortunate that she did not come forward immediately as this has caused me a lot of concern. However, I am pleased no harm has come to Megan and I wish her and her family the best and I am putting this matter behind me."

Sizemore's manager tells TMZ the Tom and the girl were never together romantically, they were just neighbors.

Shy Kate Middleton got dating advice from little sister Pippa

Kate and Pippa competed over boys

Pippa and Kate Middleton | Pictures | Photos | New

Pippa and Kate Middleton are very different

For years Pippa Middleton's been overshadowed by her big sister Kate, who's been loved-up with Prince William for nearly a decade.

But within minutes of arriving at Westminster Abbey in that dress, Pippa, 27, overtook her sister to become the most sought-after Middleton.

Pippa's relationship with her sister Kate, 29, is clearly a close one - but that wasn't always the case.

'Pippa was always more liked at school than Kate because she was very outgoing while Kate was more of a loner,' an insider tells Now.

'This led to a bit of friction between them and Pippa would sometimes take pleasure in winding her up.

'Things got better by the time Kate was 18 as she'd be invited to parties and Pippa would always want to tag along.

'As always, all the attention would go to Pippa and she'd compete with her sister over boys.

'In fact, Kate tended to get dating advice from her little sister.'

Dancing With the Stars pro Kym Johnson was taken by ambulance to a Los Angeles area hospital Friday after falling and injuring her neck.

Johnson suffered the injury while practicing with her partner, Pittsburgh Steelers player Hines Ward, for Monday's performance show featuring the remaining four couples.

"After several tests, she was cleared by the medical staff, though she is bruised, sore and currently wearing a neck brace," the show says in a statement. "Kym plans to continue with Hines Ward in the competition and resume rehearsals as soon as possible."

This is the latest injury on the show. Last week actor Ralph Macchio hobbled through his waltz and cha cha routines because of a ruptured cyst behind his right knee. Vignette StoryServer 6.0 Sat May 14 13:02:42 2011

Having a body or a boyfriend like Anna Kournikova's may seem a little out of reach, but you can live just like the tennis star ? for $9.4 million.

Kournikova's 6,630-square-ft. Miami Beach mansion is on the market ? even if she's not.

The ivy-covered, waterfront house boasts seven bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, a sauna, a pool, a dock and a two-story guest house. Notably missing? A tennis court.

The market description says the gated Sunset Island abode is "perfect for outdoor entertaining" ? perhaps something she took advantage of with longtime boyfriend Enrique Iglesias. Vignette StoryServer 6.0 Sat May 14 10:50:53 2011
