'Bruce Willis? At first it was difficult. He's the guy who used to sleep with my wife': Ashton Kutcher on overcoming his jealousy

The Hollywood actor on hanging out with Bruce, having good genes, why meeting his wife was fate and spending time in jail



Ashton Kutcher is arguably the youngest and most powerful media mogul in the world. As successful a producer as he is an actor, the 32-year-old was recently included in Time magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people on the planet.

Kutcher began his acting career as the dim-witted Michael Kelso in That '70s Show, and went on to create the hugely successful MTV show Punk'd, playing pranks on unsuspecting celebrities. That led to film roles, and in 2003 he became even more famous when he started dating Demi Moore, 15 years his senior. Two years later he married her, becoming stepfather to Moore's three daughters from her marriage to Bruce Willis.

Crystal Bowersox Bisexual

Now that American Idol’s Crystal Bowersox is on the cusp of singing superstardom, it’s only fitting the The Ghost of Friendships Past drudge up leeches of yesteryear to rain on her parade.

A high school fling of the newest addition to the Jive Records Family is spilling the beans on Bowersox’s booze-drinking, weed-puffin’ past as a bisexual teenager.

Former friends of the dreadlocked soul star tell The National Enquirer that Crystal was a sex-crazed wildchild, who had had three lesbian relationships and quite an active sex life by the time she was a 10th grader at Toledo School for the Arts in Ohio.

“Crystal was a free spirit. She wasn’t slutty, but if she found someone attractive, whether male or female, she’d give them a chance with her.”

One of Crystal ex-classmates, now 24, claims Bowersox dished about her early life as bisexual during an attempted seduction when both girls were 16.

Google axes Windows, saves millions

With 20,000+ employees, Google is set to save millions of dollars in licensing costs. Microsoft has really cryptic licensing rules, so coming up with an exact savings number would be almost impossible, but for sure it’s a huge chunk of change.

Google is giving employees a choice between Mac or PC/Linux — the reason apparently isn’t cost, but security. Google still has a bitter taste in their mouth since the Chinese Government snuck their way into computers through a flaw in Internet Explorer 6, and gained access to really sensitive information.

Though their cited reason is security, I’m also betting there were some other reasons discussed before the decision was made. Some of the actual reasons behind the move probably included:

1) Security
2) Dogfooding Chrome OS
3) Money Savings
4) Stick it to Microsoft
5) Press

Sanxi Android iPad KIRF hands-on


Oh man, have we seen a ton of tablets this week here at Computex. And if you asked us to pick out the best we'd have a really hard time, but yet, somehow, this KIRF iPad we stumbled upon at Sanxi's booth has been one of the more unforgettable devices we've see... maybe ever! Yep, we spotted this plastic Android 1.6-running iPad-replica behind glass, and as soon as we got someone to take it out we were pretty much beside ourselves -- the plastic body is the same exact shape as the iPad, and it has identical controls including the circular homescreen button and a non-functioning switch on the side. The entire thing is made of plastic, which if we had to guess makes it about one-third the weight of an actual aluminum iPad. The 10-inch, resistive screen was pretty much as unresponsive as they come -- not matter how we dragged our nail on it it didn't want to cooperate. Surprisingly, it did have a working accelerometer, so there's that. Mind you, we realize there are dozens of these sorts of devices out there dwelling in Shenzen, but us Engadget editor's rarely get to see these sorts of things up close and personal, so hit the break for a short hands-on video and the gallery below for some shots of this wannabe.

Testing the Strength of Louis Koo’s Love Triangle with Charlene Choi

Directed by Derek Yee Tung-Sing, the action movie thriller "Triple Tap" will premiere in theatres on July 1st. In the movie, the ‘emotional thread’ is placed in the hands of Louis Koo, leading him to be unable to choose between his husband-and-wife relationship with Charlene Choi and his relationship with his boss Li Bing Bing.

Charlene straightforwardly warned the audience to not underestimate the roles Li Bing Bing and herself play. Acting as Louis Koo’s girlfriend, she is a gentle nurse, however being accustomed to facing live and death, her character is in fact a strong individual. In terms of her love rival Li Bing Bing, she is a successful and able woman, but has a weak heart and lacks security.

Although having previously appeared in sombre psychological thrillers such as "Diary", Charlene is very grateful to Director Derek Yee who gave her the opportunity to portray this character. Charlene: “In general I play more optimistic characters, but this time around my role is heavily focused on psychological drama.”

Jessica Hsuan's evil role in "Sisters of Pearl" unable to shine

Jessica Hsuan and Bowie Lam's TVB series "Sisters of Pearl" has been criticised for having a poor storyline and confusing bickering scenes have not been able to attract viewers. The main focus is Jessica's role, but even though she is portraying a evil role for the first time, unfortunatley it hasn't been a good breakthrough for her.

Can't compare to "War and Beauty"

Since "Sisters of Pearl" aired the audience found it similar to "The Gem of Life". The storyline consists of the same idea such as battling for wealth and selling pearls. "War and Beauty" is the most successful TVB series in the last 10 years for Villain roles. Many factors made it appealing including the Palace scenary, no control over people's fate, sudden deaths, more indepth development with each character. As for "Sisters of Pearl" the quality of the series fails to compare to standards of "War and Beauty". The producers of the series have previously said that each episode of "Pearl" had a climax. However the bickering and battling scenes are not refreshing. The storyline has been poorly developed. In fact the audience can get tired of watching it.

Sack the hairdresser, Britney Spears: Star's extension nightmare

In her heyday Britney Spears was partial to the occasional hair-don't, yet even her latest style disaster runs the worst of them close.


The singer stepped out with sons Jayden James and Sean Preston in Santa Monica earlier. However the smiles on the faces of her children were not matched on their mother's face who has once again been let down by her hairdresser.

Sporting her usual blonde locks, the 28-year-old has tried to give herself a lift with some extensions that could inexplicably be seen.

Grease Witherspoon: Legally Blonde star Reese goes for slicked-back look

Having made her name as the star of Legally Blonde it seems strange to see Reese Witherspoon paying very little attention to her usually gorgeous locks.


The 34-year-old actress opted for the greasy slicked-back look as she left the Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills, where haircuts start from $150.

Rumours are circulating that the Oscar-winning actress has been cosying up to British heart-throb Robert Pattinson after filming new movie 'Water For Elephants'. All the more curious, then, that Louisiana girl Reese has been so lazy in her appearance.

Microsoft Needs Partners to Fight Apple iPad: Analysts

Microsoft needs to follow several steps if it wants to compete against Apple's iPad for share of the growing tablet PC market, according to a new Forrester research report. Among those steps: engaging with the right manufacturing partners, settling on appropriate price point and sales channels, and integrating the tablet with other Microsoft products such as the Xbox. Any Microsoft-produced tablet will also need a version of Windows 7 optimized for the form factor, the analysts added. A number of IT giants, ranging from Hewlett-Packard to Google, are in their own ways attempting to gain in the tablet market.

Microsoft could claim substantial market share from Apple in the growing tablet PC arena, but will need to both engage its manufacturing partners and create software that allows a tablet to interact with products such as the Xbox, according to a research report produced by analyst firm Forrester.

Apple currently dominates the consumer tablet PC market with its iPad, which sold more than 1 million units in the month following its April 3 release. Even before the iPad reached store shelves, however, Microsoft and other IT giants were planning their own entries into the arena; during January’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer used his keynote address to display several tablets that he said would run Windows 7.

Safari 5 to join Steve onstage Monday for WWDC?


According to a report from French blog MacGeneration, one of the announcements on tap for Monday's WWDC 2010 keynote (which we'll be covering live, by the way) is a major update for Safari -- namely, version 5. If you believe the docs the site has obtained, there are more than a few big changes coming, including Bing now alongside Yahoo! and Google search options, a new "Safari Reader" for better / easier RSS reading (we're hoping they're taking a cue from Google on this), 25 percent faster JavaScript performance and DNS prefetching (hello, Chrome), improved HTML5 support (no big surprise there), and new developer tools which we assume will be along the lines of Firebug or Chrome's developer helpers. So we hope. The update will allegedly also add hardware acceleration for Windows PCs, an address field that auto-predicts URLs (they're calling it a "Smart Address Field"), and a handful of other minor tweaks and snips. Furthermore, there's an expected minor bump to Snow Leopard (10.6.4) which will resolve some nagging issues, though nothing really more than that. As we're sure you're aware, the next 48 hours or so are going to be filled with all sorts of nutty rumors about what's happening at Monday's keynote -- we'll try and separate the wheat from the chaff for you.

Vanness Wu Is Happy Knowing He's Competing For Golden Bell TV King

Just returned to Taiwan from Japan, Vanness Wu showed up at a coffee dessert shop opened by his good friend yesterday. When he heard SETTV already applied to Golden Bell's "Best Actor" with his "Autumn's Concerto," Vanness said happily: "I'm very touched, if they invite me, I'll definitely attend."

Vanness' "Autumn's Concerto" settled his place as idol drama king. But he didn't decide to film any new drama at this time. SETTV originally planned to invite him to guest appear in new drama "Chong Wu Yan" (鐘無艷), but yesterday he said: "Time conflict, might not be able to perform."

In this period Vanness already rejected many new drama offer and plans to develop his career in Hollywood, expanding his part time business: "Many people think I should hold the current market, but I don't need to prove anything, it's good to just put yourself into it."

Xiao S, Wang Lee Hom recommend “The Most Hardworking Newcomer”: Yen-J

After releasing his debut album [Thanks for Your Greatness], Yen-J accomplished much success. Not only did he beat out “heavenly kings and queens” to take the KKBox’s [Most Played Album] spot, Yen-J also took #4 on HIT fm’s global music chart. Many Taiwanese artistes including Xiao S, Wang Lee Hom, Blackie Chen, DJ Xiao Shu have also recommended Yen-J’s music to fans on their Facebook pages and blogs.

To have received praise from Wang Lee Hom and Xiao S as Cpop’s “shining newcomer”, Yen-J was both surprised and overjoyed. As Wang Lee Hom was his idol, Yen-J said he was so happy that he couldn’t even sleep. And thanks to these artistes’ suggestions, fans from all over have come to hear Yen-J’s voice. In an instant, the number of visitors to both his blog and Facebook has increased rapidly. It is quite amazing to see 10,000 hits grow into over 1,300,000 hits.

Before Yen-J debuted, he worked hard at keeping his blog and Facebook updated continuously. Although he is still currently busy with his promotions, he still finds the time to regularly share his thoughts and feelings with fans. Once, Yen-J came into work with his eyelids fully swollen. The staff then found out that he had spent the entire time until 6 am replying to each and every fan who had commented on his blog post. Not only were fans were deeply touched, the staff said that they had never seen such a hard-working artiste.

Angelina Jolie, Rain Battle For Biggest Badass Star At MTV Movie Awards

Sam Worthington, Chris Pine and Channing Tatum will also throw down in the category at Sunday's show.

There are some new categories this year at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, including Biggest Badass Star — and no, it's not unnatural that you're intimidated by this addition to the competitive lineup. After all, when talking about an assortment of characters ranging from a betrayed super-spy to a big blue alien, it's more than understandable to find yourself in awe.

There's Chris Pine for starters — he portrayed "Star Trek" leading man James T. Kirk, a Star Fleet graduate who is light-years ahead of his class in terms of intellect, bravery and skill, even if his cocksure attitude frequently lowers his reputation in the eyes of his contemporaries. The real question is, how will voters react to the character's signature arrogance?

Eminem's 'Not Afraid' Video Premieres

Slim Shady soars through Newark like a superhero in heavily symbolic new clip.

Eminem's video for "Not Afraid," the first offering from his June 22 release Recovery, has premiered.

Directed by Richard Lee, the video starts with Eminem standing on a rooftop ledge that overlooks New Jersey. As he says with his opening lines, the clip shifts to a basement, where Slim Shady is rhyming on the steps, then standing.

The video goes back to the rooftop, where Em goes closer to edge. The shot could be taken as a metaphor for his life. Last year, the Grammy Award winner very openly told his story of being in a drug-induced haze for years. He said his addiction was so horrific, he almost overdosed and died.

Just like in real life, Em stops short of going off the ledge in the video. Instead, he marches on busy Market Street in downtown Newark. As he's walking through traffic, he looks in a car window and his face looks distorted.

Gizmodo Banned from WWDC

In a bit of news from the "go-figure" department, Gizmodo is reporting that Apple has refused to answer its request to attend the company's big Worldwide Developers Conference keynote this Monday.

The apparent snub has left the tech blog in a bit of a predicament—according to Editorial Director Brian Lam, Gizmodo is going to use the liveblogging of a number of other sources to construct its own, well, liveblog, of the WWDC keynote instead of its planned, "we're actually there" coverage.

This comes a few days after San Mateo County authorities announced that a "special master" had been appointed to assist in the search of Gizmodo editor Jason Chen's belongings: goods seized as part of a police investigation into the disappearance (and Gizmodo acquisition) of one of Apple's prototype iPhones. It's the very device that's rumored to be announced at the Monday keynote.

Adobe reports 'critical' flaw in Flash, Acrobat

Adobe has issued a security advisory about a "critical" vulnerability in its Flash Player and Adobe Reader and Acrobat products that it says could let attackers take control of people's computers.

The company said late Friday that there had been reports of the hole actually being exploited and that an official patch was not yet available.

Affected software includes:
  • Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2, 9.0.262, and earlier 10.0.x and 9.0.x versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris
  • Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.3.2 and earlier 9.x versions for Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX
  • The company said the Flash Player 10.1 Release Candidate does not seem to be vulnerable and that Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.x are confirmed not vulnerable.

Leo Ku Clears Up Assistant Is Not Pregnant

Leo Ku, Miriam Yeung, Elanne Kong, Aarif Lee, and Him Law etc attended to Solar Project 2010's event yesterday.

As for ratings of TVB's Jade Solid Gold is dropping due to lack of appearance of singers from the 4 record companies, Leo said: "In fact TVB created a very good platform for singers to promote music. Before I make my debut, Jade Solid Gold already exists. Viewers have feeling for the show, so it shouldn't end."

Talked about his assistant plus rumor girlfriend Lorraine is pregnant, he said: "I can tell everyone for sure that there is no such thing, just feel the report is funny, because you can't hide pregnancy, a while later the rumor will collapse itself. (Family is disappointed?) Of course not, they know it's not true. Besides I don't have the blessing yet to be a father. (Why Lorraine didn't attend to events with you?) She is only responsible for matters in my design company, won't attend to every event with me." Asked whether he will show up with Lorraine to break the rumor, Leo said Lorraine would definitely have a chance to show up, then everyone can tell for himself/herself.

It's Over Between Juno Mak and Gillian Chung

Juno Mak, 2R, Shirley Kwan, Kenny Wong etc attended to Undercover's perfume party yesterday. As Gillian Chung's rumored boyfriend, Juno announced their "split." He exposed he's currently dating model Janine, who has rumors with him after filming MV together. Juno said girlfriend is at the party, too, but they arrived at a different time: "We're dating right now, after we discussed, we decided to publicize rather than keeping it as a secret, she's a model, not an artiste, plus I'm 26, it's normal to date, don't mind what others' said. We just started, we don't want to hide, willing to share it with the media." He expressed that he doesn't rule out watching Gillian's new film with girlfriend, because he would support good friend's work and movie.

As for 2R's Race, who wore a black transparent pants, said she wore safety pants, she won't go that wild: "If I didn't take precaution, boyfriend would yell at me. Been in the showbiz for this long, my sister and I never expose accidentally. Company said we're queen of precaution, even wearing things underneath T-shirt." As for being said that she did plastic surgery, she denied: "My nose is always like this, I'll be afraid if I did plastic surgery, I didn't do it and I'm happy, because that means I'm prettier."

Stephen Huynh Dating 63-Year-Old Woman for Money?

Mr. Hong Kong 2005 Finalist, Stephen Huynh (aka Wong Cheung Hing) is a third or fourth line supporting actor at TVB. Despite his mediocre career, his romantic rumors with women have been non-stop. Allegedly, he is currently dating 63-year-old Margaret Tsui Mei Kei, whose net worth is valued at $600 million (HKD). Stephen was spotted entering Margaret’s apartment recently.

Stephen and Margaret may have met in December 2009, when they were Latin dance partners at a televised charity event. On May 29th, Stephen and Margaret were dance partners at another charity event. During the group photo session, Stephen did not ask Margaret to join in. Margaret’s face noticeably soured.

To celebrate their successful May 29th dance performance at the charity event, Margaret spent $100,000 (HKD) and placed full-page ads on all the major Hong Kong newspapers such as Orientaldaily, the Sun, Appledaily, and Ming Pao. In the ad, there was a large photo of Margaret and a list of dance participants [from her dance studio]. In the ad, a photo featuring Margaret and Stephen’s dance performance from 2009 was also published. Printed in the ad was a tagline in which Margaret hinted that she was not afraid of rumors and will face them bravely.

Just as striking, a more natural Madge: Unretouched photos of singer from Louis Vuitton campaign released

That heavily-airbrushed Louis Vuitton advertising campaign made her look 20 years younger.


But as the natural image shows, Madonna can still cut a striking - if far less polished - figure without the aid of photo trickery.

Although the smooth, sleek look of the advertising shots is gone, the 51-year-old's more natural, virtually wrinkle-free glow will be the envy of many women her age.

The image comes from the same shoot as the £7million campaign and was published by a New York fashion blog.

Hoofs shoes are these? There's no way Lady Gaga can just dance in this horse-like clompy footwear

When it comes to style, Lady Gaga usually hits the headlines for her choices of headwear.

But as she walked through Heathrow Airport onlookers were struck by one thing - her heel-less hoof-like clompy shoes.


By Gaga standards, the rest of her outfit was really quite tame - a simple sleeveless black jumpsuit.

However, with shoes like these keeping everything else plain is probably the best sartorial decision.

Carrying a huge studded bag, the 24-year-old looked sombre as she clomped through the departure halls.

iPhone triples Android in mobile market share

The battle between Apple and Google in the mobile space has been heating up lately, but new market share numbers from research firm Nielsen show the race isn't even close.

According to a report released late Friday that compares the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, Apple's iPhone OS has more than triple the market share Google's Android operating system has. Nielsen puts the iPhone OS market share at 28 percent, while Android's is at 9 percent.

The numbers put Apple in second place behind BlackBerry maker Research In Motion, which has a 35 percent share. In third place is Microsoft Windows Mobile with 19 percent, followed by Google, Palm (4 percent), Linux (3 percent), and Symbian (2 percent).

Apple and Google both moved up by 2 percent in the first quarter of 2010. In the same period, RIM and Microsoft both lost 2 percent market share.

Ninomiya injures woman in accident, Arashi announces album and tour

Arashi member Kazunari Ninomiya (26) caused an accident while driving on Friday afternoon, hitting a 36-year-old woman on a bicycle and causing minor injuries. The same day, Arashi revealed that they will release a new album and launch a tour later this year.


At about half past noon on Friday, Ninomiya was driving in Tokyo's Meguro ward. As he approached an intersection with no traffic lights, a woman riding a bicycle came from the side, and Ninomiya's car bumped the side of her bicycle. Although Ninomiya was unharmed, the woman suffered an injury in her left leg that will take about a week to fully heal.

'Shrek' Leads Box Office on Friday

This weekend definitely won’t be hitting the record books. Despite four new releases vying for the top spot, the box office is destined to be down some 20 percent compared to last year at this time when The Hangover opened to $45 million and Up scored big in its second weekend. In fact, none of these new releases will gross more than $20 million for the frame, with the R-rated Russell Brand, Jonah Hill comedy Get Him to the Greek likely to be on top of the new films and should do around $17 million for the weekend. It grossed some $6 million Friday night.

Shrek Forever After earned an estimated $6.8 million for Friday, putting its weekend gross in the $24 million range and its 3-week cume in the $180 million range. Killers will likely take third place. The Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher-starring action comedy earned over $5 million on Friday with a weekend gross likely to hit $15 million. The other two wide releases, Marmaduke and Splice won’t make it into the top five. Prince of Persia and Sex and the City 2 will fill the fourth and fifth slots. Though both of those films in their second weekend are likely to be down some 60% for the frame. Persia earned another $4 million Friday for a weekend take that’s unlikely to be more than $13 million. That would put the Jake Gyllenhaal-starrer movie in the $58 million range after two weekends in release. SATC 2 also earned some $4 million Friday night, down 67% from last Friday and on track to gross a bit over $12 million for the frame for a total cume of $73 million.

'True Blood' Star Anna Paquin on Why She Came Out as Bisexual

Earlier this year, 'True Blood' and 'X-Men' star Anna Paquin surprised Hollywood when she announced she was bisexual in a PSA for the Give a Damn campaign. It was the first time the actress, who is engaged to 'True Blood' co-star Stephen Moyer, made her sexual preferences public.

Now, Paquin is revealing why. The actress told Zap2It why she spoke up and why she didn't think she'd done anything remarkable by coming out.

"I'm not someone who endlessly talks about her personal life for no reason, but obviously, as someone who identifies as bisexual, those are issues I really care about -- and frankly, I don't see why everyone doesn't care about them, " the actress said. "So when I was asked to participate in that PSA, it was just an obvious, 'Well, of course I will.'"

Paquin continues, "It wasn't like it was a big secret. It was just a cause I cared about and privately supported, but not one that I had ever had an opportunity to speak out about in a way that would be useful. Obviously I know that one person's voice doesn't necessarily do that much, but I just wanted to do my bit."

The Give a Damn campaign is one of several projects of the True Colors Fund, a non-profit founded by Cyndi Lauper.

Aava Mobile's Intel Moorestown prototype plays World of Warcraft beautifully (video)


Intel has managed to make Moorestown-based phones do an awful lot of things on stage. Multitask, scale photos sans lag, and automatically correct your grammar before it comes out of your mouth. But believe it or not, one thing we haven't seen the Aava Mobile-built reference design do is play the full PC version of World of Warcraft and / or Quake III (from within Moblin) for over an hour on a full charge. Well, until this week's Computex event. Peek a couple of videos just past the break if you're in disbelief, and trust us when we say that it had no issues keep the frames flowing at a comfortable clip. The future is bright, people.

Sony Ericsson Shakira to be a mid-sized Xperia X10?

At 120mm in length, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 might be considered too big by some users. On the other hand, at only 83mm, the Xperia X10 Mini is a bit too small. The solution for those who want a medium-sized Xperia with Android could be the Sony Ericsson Shakira, which has reportedly showed up somewhere in China – just like that 5 inch SE Android smartphone with QWERTY keyboard.


The features of SE Shakira (pictured below) are not known, but its display seems to be a HVGA one.

We all know what the real Shakira is doing, so the phone might be music-oriented – although that’s actually a job for the rumored Walkman Android handset, and not for an Xperia device.

Sucker Punch Developing Infamous Sequel

After months of rumors, confirmation of a sequel to the 2009 PlayStation 3 hit Infamous has surfaced, with Sucker Punch Productions again handling development on the open-world action game.

Consumer print publication Game Informer made the game public when it revealed its July issue cover image, featuring a considerably redesigned version of series protagonist Cole MacGrath.

That character makeover served as the underpinning for one of the more substantiated rumors of the game's existence. Late last year, actor David Sullivan posted a now-removed Twitter message claiming his involvement in the "re-casting of Cole in the sequel of Infamous," which he subsequently further confirmed in several posts, all of which were also removed.
