Hilary Duff will be returning to TV again to guest-star on the CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men.”

Duff will play a love interest named Stacey for Ashton Kutcher’s billionaire character, Walden, and will appear on the show’s season finale. But according to E! News, Kutcher won't fall for Duff. Instead, he becomes attracted to Stacey’s grandmother, who will be played by actress Marilu Henner of TV’s “Taxi.”

The season finale of the sitcom, which will finish its tenth season, is set to air May 9.

“Two and a Half Men” starred actors Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, and Angus T. Jones for eight seasons, though the eighth season was abbreviated because Mr. Sheen entered a rehabilitation facility. In the show’s ninth season premiere, Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper, was revealed to have died and Kutcher’s character, Walden Schmidt, was introduced as Cryer and Jones’ new roommate.

Industry watchers say the odds are good that “Men” will return for an 11th season next year, with negotiations currently underway. 

Hilary Duff rose to fame as the title character on the Disney TV series “Lizzie McGuire,” which aired from 2001 to 2004 and was turned into a movie titled “The Lizzie McGuire Movie,” released in 2003. She also starred in the films “A Cinderella Story,” “Raise Your Voice,” and the 2003 remake “Cheaper by the Dozen” and that film’s 2005 sequel. Duff guest-starred as movie actress Olivia Burke for a series of episodes on the CW soap “Gossip Girl” as well as appearing in a 2010 episode of the NBC comedy “Community.”

Duff also has a successful music career, selling more than 13 million albums worldwide and has performed in four concert tours.

Kutcher first became well-known as spacey best friend Michael Kelso on the 1999 sitcom “That ’70s Show,” and has since starred in movie comedies such as “Dude, Where’s My Car?,” “Just Married” and “New Year’s Eve.” He was cast as Steve Jobs in the biopic “Jobs,” but the film’s release was recently changed from April 19 to an undetermined date.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
