Two and a Half Men's new female character, the daughter of the late Charlie Harper (formerly played by Charlie Sheen), has at least one thing in common with her long-lost father -- his taste in women. The character, who is set to make her debut in the season 11 premiere this fall, has been written as a lesbian, TV Line confirms.

Per a description of the role, 21-year-old Jenny "likes everything her dad liked, including women." She's also "beautiful and sexy," and she "uses her hotness when she needs to."

As Us Weekly previously reported, Jenny shows up at the home of Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher) and Alan Harper (Jon Cryer) looking for her dad. The plan, if she clicks with viewers, is to ultimately have her move in with the duo, filling the void left by Jake (Angus T. Jones).

Jones, 19 -- a series regular on the CBS sitcom since its debut 10 seasons ago -- decided this spring not to return for another year. Rumors of his exit started circulating as early as last November, though, after he released a YouTube video slamming Two and a Half Men as "filth" and asking viewers to "please stop watching." (He later apologized for "showing indifference and disrespect" toward his colleagues, but the damage had already been done.)

"They tried really hard to keep him, but he was just done done," a source told Us Weekly when CBS announced his departure in April.

Carmen Electra's Ex Rob Patterson: Charlie Sheen's "Act of Kindness Saved My Life"

Famed Carmen Electra ex and Charlie Sheen pal Rob Patterson is spilling his secrets in his new memoir, You'll Never Rock in This Town Again. The book, which Patterson is busy writing right now, details his life with Electra ("filled with passion"), his avid drug use, and his experience on Sheen’s My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option tour.

"During my time living with Carmen, I used heroin habitually," the former Korn rocker writes. "Mostly I would sneak off and get high… To this day I don't know to the extent she knew I was shooting dope. It's not as if I was fooling her. Sometimes she would look at me and say, 'I hate seeing you so sad.' That's how she perceived my addiction, as sad, which it truly was."

The guitarist, who split from his fiancee, describes his heroin addiction in the book, noting "I was a bloody, f---king mess, shaking profusely."

But an unlikely friend helped him clean up his act. "On September 16, 2011, I checked into the Hills Treatment Center…. I paid cash and as collateral, I gave Dr. Samuels a Rolex watch that Charlie had bought me. When I finished rehab, Dr. Samuels handed me back the watch. 'You earned it,' he said. Charlie's act of kindness saved my life."

A source close to Patterson says, "Charlie is still one of Rob's best friends."

The book does not yet have an official release date.
