SIX PACK IN THE TWIGHLIGHT ZONE
What's going on here? Is that Ashton Kutcher in the Willis Family photo or Demi's older son from a previous marriage? Okay, it's official: the Demi & Ashton tryst has just been elevated to a threat level of Orange-Red. But before the boy wonder permanently removes his trucker cap and Coors Light from his grip and begins to study Kabbalah in Hailey, Idaho, he may have to explain why he and former paramour Brittany Murphy were spotted sneaking into the Standard for a little late-night lovin' [Is this what happens when Demi lets him off babysitting duty?] The whole situation is freaky...Demi's deep, deep drink from the fountain of youth, Bruce's odd nonchalance, Ashton's conjugal ease in the "family" photo, as well as his jetting to Idaho to attend the kids school events. To be sure, truth is stranger than fiction but a double "whazzup!" to Demi for still having what it takes to land the cutest boy in school.
Publicity stunt or true love?

EYE OF THE STORM
Aside from all the giggling, air-kissing, and sisterly bonding that this powerhouse duo, err.. trio shared on set, we've been tipped off that all is not as fluffy and sudsy as one may imagine. These "down to earth" angels are just as concerned for their box office bang. This info is on the DL of course but it's been rumored that our favorite member, CD (she's a most-vaunted listee) asked the movie studio to digitally enhance her already striking baby blues. Apparently, this is not a shuck-and-jive job and costs about the price of a tricked-out Bentley (around $200k). Tack that price tag onto the already ultra-high Full Throttle budget ($120 mill) and you've got yourself a mighty expensive picture. Millions aside, the gals showed up for the premiere looking happy, fresh and quite Hilton-esque (Drew=Nicky & Cam=Paris), squelching any rumors that working on the movie was anything but a "total blast!" And as you can see, anti-diva Diaz does not have diamonds on the soles of her shoes, or any shoes on for that matter. Perhaps this brazen barefootedness can be seen as a generous gesture...at least the studio did not have to lay out the cash for a new pair of stiletto's.

THIS JUST IN!!
Congratulations to Cutie and the Beast [Lil' Katie Hudson and rocker hubby Chris Robinson] on their impending bundle of joy who, no doubt, will share the banner "cute as a button" with mommy Kate. We joke (somewhat) about Chris's lack of obvious savoir faire but who wouldn't be entranced by a talented, sensitive, long haired rocker who eschewed all groupies to become a devoted husband ... and now father? Kudos to this seemingly odd couple for keeping it together and starting a family. Just imagine how fun holidays will be at Grandma Goldie's house!
Bundle of Joy
