Ashton Kutcher cheated on Demi Moore with a 22-year old in San Diego named Sara Leal. Case closed, right? This explains why the actress filed for divorce from her husband of six years last week. Not exactly, friends say. In the latest issue of People , an insider says Kutcher and Moore’s marriage “[had] been deteriorating for a long time. Ashton was ready to end it, [but] he wanted to wait for Demi to actually do it. He loved her but couldn’t live with her. Among the issues that reportedly plagued the couple? Their age difference, his promiscuity and her insecurities. One friend of the actor’s goes as far as to say “they were fed up with each other,” adding: “If anyone was uncomfortable with the age difference, it was Demi, not Ashton. She drove him crazy after a while with questions and doubts.” Pick up the latest issue of People for a lot more on this split.
Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher’s divorce has been a surprise to some, but an inevitable outcome to others. When the two married 6 years ago, all anybody could talk about was their 16-year age difference, but after chronicling their coupledom on Twitter for all their fans to see with cutesy messages back and forth, we all ate our words, assuming that they were solid. However, when rumors of Ashton’s infidelity hit the net in October, it was clear that everything that glittered on the red carpet wasn’t gold. Sure enough, less than month after the reports surfaced, Demi decided to file for divorce this week. Could their age difference have had something to do with it, too? Here are 5 other “cougar” relationships that have failed! Halle Berry & Gabriel Aubry (10-year age difference) The Oscar-wining actress and French-Canadian model met in November 2005 while shooting an ad for Versace and were inseparable from then on, even welcoming a daughter, Nahla, in March 2008. However, just two years later in April 2010, the couple split and have been engaged in a nasty custody battle ever since. Vivica A. Fox & Omar “Slimm” White (20-year age difference) The actress and her club promoter boyfriend dated for over year before he proposed to her with an 8-carat diamond ring the day after Christmas 2010. She bragged about their love on camera, but less than a year after their happy announcement, Slimm confirmed their split, blaming “negativity.” Madonna & Jesus Luz (28-year age difference) The iconic artist and Brazilian model caught each others’ eyes while shooting a spread for W magazine in December 2008 – the same year she split from her (10-years-younger) husband Guy Ritchie. They traveled the world together and were photographed showing passionate PDA everywhere from Italy to Brazil to London. But in February 2010, Luz reportedly dumped Madge; though she wasted no time scooping up another boytoy later that year, French dancer Brahim Zaibat – also 28 years her junior. Tameka Foster & Usher (7-year age difference) The singer and his stylist got hitched in August 2007, much to the chagrin of his loyal (and mostly female) fans. Just 3 months later, their son Usher Raymond V (aka “Cinco”) was born and in December 2008, their second son Naviyd arrived. But the kids couldn’t keep them together; in June 2009, Usher filed for divorce from Foster after claiming they lived separately for nearly a year. Following the announcement, Tameka made sure to stay in headlines through magazine interviews and Twitter rants. Eva Longoria & Tony Parker (7-year age difference) The actress and French basketball player met in the San Antonio Spurs locker room in 2003 and tied the knot on the (not so) lucky date of 7/7/2007. Just three years later, in November 2010, the couple announced their divorce following Tony Parker’s sexting scandal with a teammate’s wife. Eva quickly rebounded, however, with actress Penelope Cruz’s brother Eduardo – 10 years younger – and is now rumored to be dating another NBA baller, Matt Barnes , the ex-fiance of “Basketball Wives” cast mate Gloria Govan. 9 Shortest Celebrity Marriages Of All Time Mariah Carey Slams Kim Kardashian’s Marriage
Brittney Jones may be an attention-starved sex tape star , but she’s not a liar! That’s the message this brunette would like to send, as approximately one year after she first made allegations that she slept with Ashton Kutcher during his marriage to Demi Moore, the couple has now split following a second publicized claim of infidelity against the actor. “I do feel somewhat vindicated,” Jones tells TMZ, adding: “For so long people have thought that I was dishonest or just making up my passionate nights with Ashton, when in fact I was being used. Ashton told me that both he and Demi had an ‘open relationship’ and that he was not in fact cheating. Now I can tell all the facts about how Ashton really was, and hopefully people will believe my side of the story. “I feel for Demi very much and wish her nothing but the best during this hard time.” But, Brittney concluded without overtly saying, if she becomes more hurt as a result of my profitable story-telling, hey, that’s not my fault!
‘It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton,’ Moore says in a statement. By Jocelyn Vena Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore Photo: Getty Images After dodging separation and affair rumors for months now, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher officially announced plans to divorce Thursday (November 17). “It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton,” Moore said in a statement to The Associated Press. “As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life. This is a trying time for me and my family, and so I would ask for the same compassion and privacy that you would give to anyone going through a similar situation.” “Two and a Half Men” star Kutcher took to Twitter to confirm the split. “Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail. Love and Light, AK,” he wrote on the social networking site. As of press time, Moore’s Twitter handle was still @mrskutcher. The two had no children together but did start the DNA Foundation last year to raise awareness about the sexual exploitation of young women around the world. People magazine reports that in the wake of Kutcher’s affair scandal earlier this fall, the two had been working on their relationship. “Demi loves Ashton as much as she hates public humiliation,” a source told the website around the time the affair rumors broke. “The marriage isn’t good right now.”

Ashton Kutcher reacted with shock and ignorance to Joe Paterno’s firing last week, creating quite an uproar when he accidentally defended a man who helped cover up a child abuse scandal at Penn State. Many followers couldn’t help but wonder: How could Kutcher have been unaware of this controversy ?!? It’s simple, an insider tells The New York Post : the actor has been living in a constant “bubble” for weeks now. “He works 12-hour days, is trying to save his marriage and is involved in the management of close to a dozen Internet companies, so he didn’t really know what he had done until it was too late,” this source claims . “He feels terrible.” About that marriage… is there still hope for Ashton and Demi Moore? “They both want to work things out,” the mole added. “They are doing a lot of talking and Kabbalah counseling. Despite all that has happened, when it comes down to it, they both really love each other.” It’s been a “painful time,” for Moore, this friend concluded, referring to chatter over her severe weight loss and gaunt figure. But she and Kutcher “need each other” and reportedly aren’t ready to file for divorce any time soon.
Poor Demi Moore. The actress turns 49 today, but is she really in a celebratory mood? Consider: Ashton Kutcher almost definitely cheated on her ; she looks as if she hasn’t eaten a full meal in weeks; and her husband, aside from being a liar, is a complete idiot who has to actually hire a management team to monitor his Tweets . In other words, Moore could really use a few birthday wishes, and a few steak dinners. Send them her way now. Also celebrating a birthday today: Leonardo Dicaprio (37), Calista Flockhart (47) and George Patton, who would be 126. [Photo: WENN.com]
Actor removes tweet supporting fired Penn State coach, admitting he didn’t know ‘rest of the story’ involving child sex-abuse scandal. By James Montgomery Ashton Kutcher Photo: Dr. Billy Ingram/ WireImage Ashton Kutcher is apologizing for a controversial tweet he wrote following the ouster of longtime Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, who had come under fire in recent weeks due to an ongoing child-abuse scandal that has rocked the university, community and highly respected athletic program. In the hours after Paterno — who had served as head coach of the Nittany Lions for 46 years — was fired by Penn State, Kutcher took to his Twitter account to criticize the move, writing “How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass … I find it in poor taste.” Of course, after that tweet earned him thousands of rebukes from fans, the actor deleted it from his account and admitted that he wasn’t aware of the full story when he wrote it. “This is an insane story, I just heard Paterno was fired, getting the rest of the story now …” he wrote. “Fully recant previous tweet. “As an advocate in the fight against child exploitation, I could not be more remorseful for all involved in the Penn State case,” he added . “As of immediately I will stop Tweeting until I find a way to properly manage this feed. I feel awful about this error. Won’t happen again.” Kutcher is a co-founder of the DNA Foundation, an organization that aims to “help end child sex slavery.” Paterno and Penn State University president Graham Spanier were let go during an emergency meeting by the school’s board of trustees Wednesday night, just hours after Paterno announced he planned to retire at the end of the football season. The announcement of his firing led to student protests and rioting in downtown State College, Pennsylvania. The drama stems from an ongoing investigation into child sex-abuse accusations filed against former PSU defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and perjury charges against two university officials. Since news of the scandal broke, Paterno had come under increasing scrutiny for how he responded after learning of an alleged incident involving Sandusky and a child in 2002. After learning of the incident from an eyewitness, Paterno reportedly told the school’s athletic director, but not police, according to prosecutors in the case. Sandusky, a PSU coach from 1969 to 1999, has been charged with 21 felony counts of sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year span.
Demi Moore is looking REAL skinny these days, but she’s also looking happier than you might think, according to people who saw her at a recent shindig. Maybe reports of her marital struggles have been exaggerated. Maybe Mariah Yeater has replaced Sara Leal as celebrity gold-digging skank du jour. Whatever the reason, Moore was all smiles at Friday’s A-list-packed Lanvin (Hearts) LA fashion show and dinner at Casa Carondelet in Los Angeles. Supposedly reeeling after husband Ashton Kutcher’s alleged affair with 22-year-old Sara Leal , the actress, 48, “looked skinny but happy” at the intimate event. The Margin Call actress was “very chatty” with fellow celebs at the party, adds the witness : “Demi came across the runway to kiss and say hi to Katie Holmes.” Later in the evening, Zoe Saldana made a similar trip across the runway to kiss and greet Moore, who also chatted with Lanvin’s designer, Alber Elbaz. “The whole vibe was super friendly and relaxed,” adds the witness. Moore wore “nerdy glasses, but [she] looked amazing. She stayed for the whole dinner.” Close pals say Moore – who is also accused of cheating – has had good days and bad days in her marriage lately, but all has been relatively quiet of late.
