Angus T Jones Rant Gets Him Fired, Miley Cyrus Replaces Him

Culture

Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Hannah Montana, could replace Angus T. Jones in CBS' wildly popular sitcom Two and a Half Men — reported Celebuzz.

Jones fell from grace earlier this week when a YouTube video of a supposed "religious awakening" showed him calling his own show "filth" and telling viewers to stop watching the very same program that had made him a millionaire.

According to Celebuzz, an unnamed "insider," said, “there are talks to replace Angus and the perfect person would be Miley Cyrus [...] the episodes that she appeared on brought in the highest ratings of the season. One possibility is that she could easily be written into the show to go to college.”

Cyrus appeared as a guest in the show, playing Missi -- the daughter of a friend of Walden’s (Ashton Kutcher) who has a brief romance with Jake (Jones). She won praise from the cast and also critics for her performance and 'work ethic."

Jones' meltdown is the second incident of the popular CBS sitcom, which was starred by troubled comedian Charlie Sheen until 2010 when a rehabilitation-related episode prompted his firing and subsequent replacement.
