'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.
