While Madonna is dragging her boyfriend into Kabbalah, Demi Moore’s estranged husband Ashton Kutcher is drifting away – fast. Insiders say Ashton was never really into the Kabbalah scene – he went along with it to please his wife. (Remember, while she was with Bruce Willis, Demi was into Scientology.) Ashton faked it while they were doing marriage counseling, but now that the marriage is over, he took off his $30 red string bracelet and called it a day.
Wait a minute, the whole Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher divorce story just took a U-turn. TMZ reports that Demi was inhaling nitrous oxide with a friend before she had a seizure and was hospitalized. Nitrous Oxide! This is something bored young teenagers do after graduating from glue-sniffing. For a woman of Demi’s age and accomplishment, it’s mind boggling. What ELSE does she do? Obviously Demi is not the innocent victim of her husband’s infidelity that she appeared to be. Maybe she’s been abusing drugs for a long time and DROVE Ashton to seek companionship elsewhere. He’s probably happy this information surfaced because the press has branded him the villain who caused the split. There’s WAY more to this than meets the eye.

Ashton Kutcher has big plans. He rented a 10,000 sq ft bachelor pad in the Hollywood Hills for $50,000 a month. The gorgeous modern architectural home has walls of glass that are fully retractable to bring the outside in. It has 5 bedrooms, 8 baths, and an infinity pool with stunning views in all directions. Naturally there’s a screening room and gym/massage area. Now that he’s split from Demi Moore and single, it looks like Ashton will be doing some big time entertaining.
Demi Moore had good reasons for taking her sweet time about filing for divorce from cheating Ashton Kutcher. First of all, friends tell us that she and Ashton had an “agreement” – he could have fun with his buddies as long as he was discreet and she didn’t find out any details. Ashton forgot to be discreet with that San Diego party girl Sara Leal, who spilled the beans on their unprotected sex. When Demi became convinced that Ashton had crossed the line and humiliated her, she took some time getting their finances in order BEFORE filing. Hence the hesitation. Demi doesn’t want to make any mistakes.
While Sara Leal continues to spill details of her affair with Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore is relieved that she still has a job as spokesperson for Ann Taylor and she posed for photos for their Holiday 2011 campaign. Demi, 48, is still undecided about ending her marriage and she’s seeking advice from Kabbalah counselors. She doesn’t WANT to file for divorce and Ashton, 33, is hoping she won’t, but Demi is humiliated by the lurid details of Ashton’s indiscretion and she’s having trouble coming to terms with it all.

Fans are wondering whether Demi Moore, 48, will forgive Ashton Kutcher, 33, for fooling around with party girl Sara Leal, but Ashton might not WANT to be forgiven. Since this isn’t the first time he seems to have succumbed to temptation, it could be that Ashton has decided he didn’t get enough partying out of his system before he got married. Ashton and Demi started dating when he was 25. This year Ashton signed a 20 million dollar contract for “Two and a Half Men” and the show is a hit – many doors have opened for him. The fact that Ashton and Demi arrived at and left Kabbalah counseling in LA separately indicates they are NOT in agreement. Suddenly the age difference IS an issue.
Denise Richards is smarter than she looks. We were startled to hear that she was invited to appear on the first episode of this season’s “Two and a Half Men” with Ashton Kutcher. Certainly she can use the money and exposure for her lagging career. But we give her credit for instantly recognizing it was not a generous gesture on the part of producer Chuck Lorre, but simply one-up-man-ship. It would have been a huge slap in Charlie Sheen’s face if Denise had accepted the role. Denise doesn’t want to erode relations with the father of her children so she regretfully turned down the opportunity.
Despite his astonishing $900,000 salary and warm welcome during the first taping of “Two and a Half Men,” Ashton Kutcher is still nervous about being the newbie on the show. If you’re wondering what he does in that super-size trailer of his – he’s decompressing by doing yoga and deep breathing in his free time.
“Two and a Half Men” fans are wondering how Charlie Sheen’s character will disappear and how Ashton Kutcher will fit into the series next season. UK writer Andrew Morton insists that he has inside information. Morton says that it’s likely that Charlie’s character will be killed off in a spectacular car crash when his Mercedes flies off a cliff near his Malibu home. After Charlie’s funeral, his beach house will be put up for sale. Ashton Kutcher will enter the show’s plot line by buying the home. He’ll take pity on Charlie’s broke brother Alan, played by Jon Cryer, and his son Jake, and let them continue to live there. Sounds plausible.
We walked into No Strings Attached with low expectations. Romantic comedies of late have been universally disappointing and repetitious. And Ashton Kutcher’s presence is always a gamble. It’s a difficult science. We hoped that if Natalie Portman agreed to do it, it must be tolerable. And indeed, the script was amusing and occasionally surprising, and there were some memorable scenes – Natalie ‘s character was studying to be a doctor and her roommates were delightful, as were all the fine supporting actors. In summation, the entertaining scenes outnumbered the predictable scenes and it was fun to watch. So give it a chance, you might like it – in spite of Ashton Kutcher.
