The recently announced project set to feature Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs has revealed its first reported look at the actor in character as the late Apple co-founder — or at least wearing the standard black mock turtleneck, blue jeans and sneakers (Ascis, not Jobs’s preferred New Balance, but whatever) so closely identified with the late Apple co-founder. As for the rest, I can’t really see it. You? Paparazzi shots are what they are, however, so perhaps we should all withhold judgment until he’s standing in front of some massive screen introducing whatever device changed your life 10 or 15 years ago. “I give you… the Puck Mouse! ” Etc. etc. [ TMZ via /film ]
For a phony online dating ad – in which he stars on behalf of his role as Popchips’ “president of pop culture” – Ashton Kutcher dons multiple costumes and pretends to be four different eligible bachelors. There’s a character named Raj, for example, that features the actor in brown face and and with an Indian accent. And while it’s all meant to be in good fun, many on the Internet have not reacted with laughter. Ashton Kutcher Dating Site Commercial “I can’t imagine I have to explain this to anyone in 2012, but if you find yourself putting brown makeup on a white person in 2012 so they can do a bad “funny” accent in order to sell potato chips, you are on the wrong course,” wrote Anil Dash , a tech blogger, in response to the spot. “Make some different decisions.” And Popchips now has: the company has pulled the ad from YouTube and Facebook, while releasing the following statement: “The new Popchips worldwide dating video and ad campaign featuring four characters was created to provoke a few laughs and was never intended to stereotype or offend anyone. At Popchips we embrace all types of shapes, flavors and colors, and appreciate all snackers, no matter their race or ethnicity. We hope people can enjoy this in the spirit it was intended.” What do YOU think? Should the spot have been removed from the Internet?
Former NFL great Junior Seau was found dead in his home in Oceanside, Calif., today. Police say the likely cause of death was suicide. He was 43 years old. Law enforcement sources reportedly believe Seau, a USC and pro football standout for 20 seasons, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.
Okay, this is pretty darn funny. Ashton Kutcher, who knows a thing or two about dating around, is featured in a new video advertisement for worldwidelovers.com. Well, actually, it’s a video advertisement for Popchips, for which Kutcher serves as the brand ambassador. But the important part is this: in the spot, the Two and a Half Men actor – who may or may not be doing Mila Kunis – portrays four characters: A Bollywood producer. A stoner. A Karl Lagerfeld clone who shares food with his dog. A tattooed biker. Demi Moore may not laugh at the ad, but we’re guilty of doing so: Ashton Kutcher Dating Site Commercial
Earlier this afternoon Max Silvestri Tweeted , “Which PopChips Ashton Kutcher character is your fave? It’s so hard to pick! (how I’m gonna drown myself fastest),” with a link that sent us into a world where Kutcher portrays a diva; a hippie; a biker; and Raj, an Indian. Soon after, New York band Das Racist—who are 2/3 Indian—also noted the ad campaign on Twitter , calling Kutcher out for playing a… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Gothamist Discovery Date : 02/05/2012 13:28 Number of articles : 2
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis spent all of last weekend together on a getaway. An insider says the actor has always thought of his former That 70s Show co-star s a “goddess.” They are both EXTREMELY good looking. But Kunis and Kutcher as a couple?!? Please, the actress says. Kunis responded to the rumors that she’s dating Kutcher by telling Extra , during a stop in Las Vegas yesterday for CineCon to promote her role in the upcoming Oz: Great and Powerful , that the possibility is “absurd.” Yes, the two have been hanging out – but Mila has a simple explanation for the time they spend together: “A friend is a friend,” she told the entertainment news show. Still, a different source says otherwise. “They’re both single, having fun,” a mole tells People . “There’s nothing serious going on – just friends having fun.” Translation: uglies are being bumped. Darn you, Ashton. But at least we can stare at these Mila Kunis photos for awhile. [Photo: WENN.com]

Rumors of Ashton Kutcher and Rihanna hooking up apparently didn’t sit well with ex-wife Demi Moore, who was “sick to her stomach” and “devastated.” Grazia magazine quotes a source as saying, “Demi is constantly keeping tabs on Ashton. When these pics came up she was understandably crushed.” “Demi’s convinced something happened between them and felt sick.'” The publication also cites a source saying that the alleged relationship between Rih and Ash – which was a one-night stand, if that – ” sent Demi spiraling .” This comes just weeks after Moore checked out of rehab, though. Another source tells Closer magazine, which not only exists, but features Octomom nude on its new cover: “Demi can’t believe Ashton would do this.” “She’s really hurt by the recent rumors and feels humiliated he’s being linked to other celebrities just a few weeks after she got out of rehab.” “She feels it cheapens their marriage even further.” Moore and Kutcher ended their marriage in November 2011 amidst rumors of repeated infidelity on the part of the Two and a Half Men star. Meanwhile, at a press conference in London for her new movie Battleship , Rihanna was asked by a ballsy reporter if Kutcher would be visiting her. “Wow, how disappointing was that question,” the 24-year-old singer said. “I’m happy and I’m single, if that’s what you’re really asking.” Which clears up nothing, as you can be single and have one-night stands all the time … but she was disappointed by the question, so there’s that. It’s also worth noting that Rihanna’s security team and her car were seen at Ashton’s place, late night. There were no photos of the two together. We can understand Demi being a little thrown off by the one-night stand rumors, but you can’t believe every piece of celebrity gossip you read.
After Lorene Scafaria and Ashton Kutcher were spotted together in Italy over the holidays, a rep for the actor came out and shot down rumors of these two dating. But we wonder what that rep would say now. In the latest issue of Us Weekly , a witness says he spotted the screenwriter and the actor cozying up at a charity event on February 25. “They were affectionate,” the onlooker reports . “When they thought no one was watching, they held hands, and she rubbed his back and his neck.” Scafaria previously dated Adam Brody and Kutcher, of course, was married to Demi Moore for six years. That actress just left rehab and is reportedly vacationing now in Turks and Caicos.
‘He still cares about her and wants the best for her,’ a source tells People following Moore’s hospitalization. By Kara Warner Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore Photo: Getty Images In the days following Demi Moore’s surprising hospitalization Monday night, the details that have emerged are even more perplexing, particularly the latest reports that Moore was inhaling nitrous oxide from aerosol cans, also known as whip-its, the night the 911 call was placed from her home in Los Angeles. And although Moore has been released from the hospital , People magazine reports that the actress’ health scare has her soon-to-be ex-husband Ashton Kutcher very worried about his wife of six years. “Ashton is deeply concerned for Demi,” a source told the magazine. “He still cares about her and wants the best for her. But their marriage is ending and they are both moving on with their lives.” Check out photos of Demi and Ashton in happier times. Kutcher has yet to make any official statement about Moore, nor has he expressed anything about the matter via his frequently updated Twitter account. The “Two and a Half Men” star was out of the country working on an ad campaign when news of Moore’s hospitalization broke. He is reportedly back in L.A. to return to work on “Men.” The theories about why Moore turned to nitrous oxide in the first place all relate back to her very public and emotional split from Kutcher back in November, when Moore announced the breakup with “sadness and a heavy heart” after months of not-so-quiet rumblings that her husband had been unfaithful. Demi Moore’s hospitalization caps a rough patch for the actress. Friends have said that shortly after her split with Kutcher, the 49-year-old began to have trouble sleeping and developed a severe problem with prescription drugs.
