The ongoing Ashton Kutcher-Demi Moore debacle takes the covers of this week’s Star Magazine and Us Weekly. Us Weekly’s story is basically just a rehash of Star’s cover story last week, plus some of the newer details that The Daily Mail had a few days ago re: the hot tub and “Where’s the vodka at?” Still, it’s nice that Us Weekly got some independent confirmations of what went down:

How did Ashton Kutcher ring in his sixth wedding anniversary with Demi Moore on Sept. 24? With a raucous, Demi-free party at the San Diego Hard Rock Hotel — which, a source tells the new Us Weekly, culminated in a sexual encounter in a hot tub with local blonde Sara Leal (pictured here) and her pal in his $2,500-a-night hotel suite. (Moore, 48, was elsewhere in the U.S. promoting her directorial work for the Lifetime short film project 5.)

Prior to that early morning hot tub session, Kutcher began his night drinking vodka tonics and prowling for women with pals Danny and Chris Masterson at Fluxx nightclub — where the pickings weren’t to his liking. “He said none of the girls were ‘hot-tub worthy,'” a Fluxx onlooker tells the new issue.

But Kutcher liked what he saw when he met party girl Leal and her friend past 4 a.m. in his 1,200-square-foot suite back at the Hard Rock.

“Ashton told them he was separated from Demi,” one source says.

After some “hard-core” flirting, the Two and a Half Men star was “totally into it,” another source says. “Within five minutes, they were all naked in the hot tub, making out!”

Reps for both Kutcher and Leal didn’t respond to repeated requests for comment.

Moore, meanwhile, is “struggling. She’s been alone a lot lately,” another pal says.

For more on Kutcher’s wild night, whether he’s really strayed before, why Moore still may not be ready to let go and the scoop on Leal — pick up the new Us Weekly, on stands Friday.

Meanwhile, Star Magazine’s cover story is all about “the photos that ended their marriage” – apparently, in the midst of all of this hot tub action, photos were taken and Star Mag “got” their hands on the photos. “Got” meaning “paid a great deal of money for”. Hollywood Life has details:

It’s no wonder the Two and a Half Men star Ashton Kutcher has kept unusually quiet amidst allegations that he cheated on his wife Demi Moore on the eve of the sixth wedding anniversary – Star magazine has obtained damning new photos of Sara Leal, Ashton and several other girls from his alleged sex-filled night at his Hard Rock Hotel penthouse suite. Will this end Ashton and Demi’s marriage for good?

“All of the girls were throwing themselves at him,” a source says. “But Sara’s a hot girl and I’m sure he noticed.”

Sara was reportedly very upset when she couldn’t reach Ashton after their one-night stand. After all, Ashton kept saying he and Demi were “separated.”

“Sara really liked Ashton,” the source tells Star. “He didn’t seem like someone who would just sleep with her and walk away. Ashton was telling people that he was separated from Demi, so she didn’t ever believe that it was just going to be a one-night stand. That’s when she realized that Ashton had used her, and she got very, very angry.”

Angry is right. Sara has ponied up with high-powered attorney Keith Davidson and she’s looking for upwards of $250K to tell her story.

Ashton reportedly brought more than a dozen girls back to his hotel suite at 3am following a night out at San Diego’s Fluxx nightclub. Although Ashton claimed none of the girls were hot tub worthy … Ashton reportedly had a change of heart when he saw Sara.

Ashton’s bodyguard stood watch guarding the door claims Star and also made sure Sara didn’t have her phone with her.

Just hours after Sara claims to have had sex with Ashton, she reportedly sent a text that read: “I [bleeped] Ashton Kutcher Friday night, lol.”

This Sarah chick seems like a real gem, right? And since I know some of you will yell at me for saying harsh things about Sarah, let me just say: I think it’s established that Ashton Kutcher is a massive douche. He’s a womanizing prick, an arrogant p.o.s., and he deserves all of the hate coming his way. But let’s not pretend that Sarah Leal is just some discarded victim of mean ol’ Ashton. She’s a hooker who’s looking to get paid, paid by Ashton and paid by the tabloids. She sold the photos to Star, and she sold them this “pity poor me” interview too.

A few more things – one, the British tabloids are talking about Demi’s weight loss. Everybody’s noticed it before – she’s looking really skinny, like she’s lost about 20 pounds really suddenly. Life & Style’s odd report goes along with this, saying that Ashton’s cheating isn’t the issue with Demi’s weight – sources (“sources” named Ashton Kutcher) claim that Demi has “fallen back into some dangerous habits”:

A family friend exclusively tells the new issue of Life & Style—on newsstands now—that their relationship had fallen apart weeks before Ashton’s reported cheating incident—and Ashton has moved out. The reason? According to the friend, Demi has fallen back into dangerous habits and while Ashton has been urging her to get help, he made the decision to move out in early September.

“Demi had been sober for a long time — decades — but recently it’s gotten bad,” the insider reveals to Life & Style. “Ashton loves her, but he can’t stick around and watch her do this to herself.”

While a rep for the star denies the report, the insider tells Life & Style that Demi’s family has united behind Ashton’s tough-love approach and wants her to get help.

“Her daughters, Scout, Rumer and Tallulah, and her ex-husband Bruce Willis want her to be healthy,” says the family friend. “The whole family is taking a stand to help Demi.”

Ashton’s reported affair with 23-year-old Sara Leal has certainly made matters worse between the couple but the friend insists Ashton loves his wife.

“He may have fooled around with this girl, but his wife is his priority,” the family friend tells Life & Style. “Ashton’s trying to deal with Demi’s problems.”

Demi battled substance abuse in the early ’80s and briefly spent time in rehab while shooting St. Elmo’s Fire.

WTF? Do you think that means alcohol abuse or drug use or both? I’ve always attributed Demi’s glazed look to all of her surgical and Botox interventions, but now that I’m thinking about it… sure, she could have some substance abuse issues. It wouldn’t surprise me at all. And it would make a certain amount of sense re: “why hasn’t Demi just dumped him already?” That being said, I doubt that Ashton is all “this is tough love, that’s why I’m boning these young chicks.” Idiot.
