"When CBS&amp;apos;s hit sitcom Two and a Half Men returns this fall, the show will be half a man down. CBS announced Friday, Apr. 26, that though the show -- and actors Jon Cryer and Ashton Kutcher -- will be returning for an 11th season, child star Angus T. Jones will not be signing on as a regular cast member.\r\nJones, 19, could reportedly return to the series periodically as a recurring character, however, Deadline.com reports. Both Kutcher and Cryer have signed on for one-year contracts for the series.\r\n\r\nA source tells Us Weekly that one of the reasons Jones will not be returning is because his interests now lie elsewhere: Music.\r\n&amp;quot;They tried really hard to keep him, but he was just done done,&amp;quot; the source said, adding that the young actor is interested in &amp;quot;Skrillex style&amp;quot; tracks specifically.\r\n\r\nJones made headlines in November 2012 when he released a YouTube video slamming Men and calling the show &amp;quot;filth,&amp;quot; asking viewers to &amp;quot;please stop watching.&amp;quot; Shortly after the video went viral on the Internet, Jones came forward to apologize for his harsh words, offering a mea culpa to the cast and crew.\r\nThe actor apologized for &amp;quot;showing indifference and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIn January 2013, CBS entertainment chief Nina Tassler told reporters that she accepted the apology and was looking forward to having Jones back on the show. &amp;quot;The kid is 19 years old. I&amp;apos;ve got a 24-year-old,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Between the ages of 19 and 24, there&amp;apos;s been plenty of things my kid has said that I wish he hadn&amp;apos;t. The bottom line is that cooler heads prevailed.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
