No, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher have still not confirmed anything to any media outlet. It’s ridiculous, and now I’m starting to wonder if all of this cheating drama isn’t being dragged out so that these two famewhores can garner even more attention. So, because I hate them both so much, let me just do a listicle of what’s been happening the past few days:
* Demi is no longer following Ashton on Twitter. GASP.
*Entertainment Tonight reports that “[Demi] and Ashton had been receiving counseling from Kabbalah over the summer to try to fix their marriage.” And ET says they’re “living apart” and that Demi is “sad, hurt and embarrassed.”
*BUT, People reports that Ashton is still wearing his wedding ring, and that he’s still living in the home that he and Demi shared, and that Demi is still living there too…? Well, that’s where they both were on Friday.
*Page Six reports that Demi and Ashton were both spotted Saturday morning at the Kabbalah Centre in Los Angeles. “According to X17, the two arrived and left separately. Ashton ‘looked worried’ while Demi left out of a side door to avoid being seen. Reports said the couple had been undergoing Kabbalah counseling in recent months. Their reps again stayed silent Friday night.” It is believed that Demi and Ashton were at The Kabbalah Centre for Rosh Hashanah.
*Rumer Willis tweets support for her step-mother, Emma Heming. No mention of her mother and step-father.
So… what’s the deal? Please don’t try to convince me that Demi is some traditional, conservative wife who doesn’t believe in divorce and she wants to make sure that she can’t save her marriage. Please. I don’t buy that. Ashton has been screwing around on Demi for a while, and he’s been really obvious about it, like he wanted to get caught, like he wanted out, like he wanted Demi to know. She really should just cut her losses and get the hell out.

In my opinion they are boring. Always were. Even now there is nothing interesting or special about them.
She’s approaching 50, menopause, and an empty nest. He is in his early 30s, looking at his own approaching middle age and deciding he’d rather have the lifestyle of a 20- or 30-something than AARP, while he still can. Not admirable the way he’s doing it, but understandable.
Agreed that Ashton and Demi are boring.
If nothing else, I have learned one important narcissistic fact from reading all the gossip blogs. At mine and Demi’s age, you have to pick either ‘youthful looking body’ or ‘youthful looking face’. Demi is an attractive woman, but she would look 10 years younger with 10 extra pounds. The tiny bit of extra weight supports the sagging skin. Of course too much extra weight stretches and sags the skin too much and you are back to looking older than your age. There’s a perfect middle in there somewhere.
This is what I’m telling myself as I surf the web and eat cookies for breakfast.
@ Eva: You are totally awesome!!!!!!
Eva – Wonderful Sunday morning advice. I’ll be enjoying some dark chocolate after my breakfast.
I’m of two minds with this:
1) Ashton is cheating. He’s over the marriage and has juiced it for what it’s worth. He wants to play with some young stuff for awhile.
2) This has been one extended media ploy to promote his Two and the Half Men job and garner interest in the show.
She lost a few lbs in the last 6 months or so. Went from what is that bitch doing to look like that to ewwww.
It seem like they are so over but pride and egotism won’t let them admit failure. She doesn’t want to go back to obscurity like she was after Bruce.
I read yesterday a quote from an unidentified source that their marriage was really a business deal with some feelings there. I think this probably very true. Ashton gave Demi queen of the cougars status and she kept his name in the press during a time when he needed it. Now AK doesn’t need Demi and he is ready to move on. I wonder, though, if Demi didn’t orchestrate their marriage, similar to how Tom Cruise has orchestrated his to Katie Holmes. Seven years ago, was Demi on the prowl for a young piece to help keep her fading star relevant to a younger
audience, and was AK the dude who agreed to be her arm candy? Another rumor about these two is that while there was a Kabballah ceremony,
they were never legally married.
I really don’t know what Demi expected the outcome of this relationship to be. Ashton was only around 25 when they met, she 40. Sure, have a hot romance/fling for a while. But marry him? I think they loved each other and he thought the age difference and not having his own kids would be ok at that point. But people grow up and want different things. He was not even fully formed when she married him. Now he’s in his early 30s and she’s approaching 50 – the age difference is more glaringly obvious now. If she had met him when he was 40ish and she in her mid-fifties, maybe then it might have worked. Either way, I find them each super annoying as a couple. They were more likeable as individuals and pre-twitter, especially Ashton.
Absolutely agree, Turtle Dove. I’m surprised no one else seems to be making the connection. How convenient that his name is splashed across every pop culture blog just as he makes his first appearances on Two & a Half Men. The guy is a marketing/publicity genius to have parlayed mediocre talent into the lucrative career he now enjoys. I’m sure this latest scandal was carefully strategized.
This is exactly what happened before Madonna and Guy Ritchie split!!
All these reports of cheating..Woman coming forward, and still there are the people that will believes rumors about other couples when there is no proof or anything.
I guess real drama is never as interesting as the fake stuff.
Having your cheating spouse over to the house to pick up whatever you didn’t destroy of his stuff does NOT count as “living together.”
Demi’s nickname should be Desperate Demi. I have no doubt he loves her. But he is screwing a lot of bimbos. It’s only a matter of time before he extricates himself from this marriage. He married too young. Her age isn’t the problem right now. He would be cheating on his wife of six years, together seven, no matter their age. But her age would be an issue down the road. Demi gives him threesomes and even that isn’t enough. She is going to be in her fifties dumped. She needs to move on and have some pride instead of continually accepting his
humiliating her and tweeting photos of herself half naked trying to prove to herself and the world she’s still hot. It’s immature and really kind of pathetic.
Everyone (OK, not EVERYone) keeps saying “he married too young.” How old was he? Did he not realise she was an older woman who already had been divorced once and had 3 kids by her ex-husband? Is he really that dense? (Don’t get me wrong, he seems that dense to me, but I digress.) He made A CHOICE to commit to this woman and, by extension, her children! Where is his accountability?
Rhiley – Thank you! I thought maybe the cheese was slipping off my cracker when I mentioned that their marriage may not be a “legal” one a few threads back, and no one said a word. Because I heard that one years ago!
Couple of wrong bits there:
Demi did stop following Ashton but then re followed him before anyone noticed. Only reason people know she stopped is because he now appears quite high in her following list
They arrived at the Centre seperately but left the Centre in the same car.
I think these two genuinely loved each other when they got married. They were together for a couple of years before tying the knot, so it wasn’t like they eloped to Las Vegas after knowing each other for five seconds.
I also don’t think that Demi’s recent weightloss is intentional. I think she knows full well that she looks gaunt and would look better if she regained the pounds she’s lost, but I doubt she has much appetite. My heart goes out to her, she’s clearly very unhappy.
It’s really disrespectful of Ashton to openly cheat on her on their wedding anniversary. I agree that he wanted that to be public, and I think he deserves the consequences of the resulting fallout. (Though I still don’t fully understand on what grounds that woman is suing him. People in Hollywood are truly litigation crazy.)
I doubt this is a stunt to get publicity for “Two and a Half Men” because Charlie Sheen did enough on that front. This marriage is definitely on the rocks and the extra press is just a bonus for the show.
Bellaluna & Rhiley Hmmm. There was a blind a year or so ago that talked about a couple that wasn’t officially married. Can’t remember who everyone thought it was.
@Jayna – Yep . . . I agree. And she doesn’t need this getting to the point where people are just embarassed for her and pitying her.
I agree with Turtledove and the other posters. This is just a ploy for his new show. Nothing is off limits these days.
Is he cheating? Probably, but I don’t think as long as it was kept quiet she minded. However, seeing that his new gig isn’t quite working out the way it was planned, now this is breaking news. If he wanted kept secret…it still would be.
This is for rating and then they will kiss and make up and go back to the way it was before and he will be more discreet.
Yes, thanks to following Hollywood, I am completely jaded and cynical. 😉
Eva, I think you’re my hero. Original Bellaluna, #12, LOL. Is there something you want to tell us?
Eva
Agreed. Also it is not a bad idea to have a bit of fat in reserve due to an injury or illness as we age…
*snarfs another square of 60% Cacao chocolate bar*
Look, it’s not only girls. Demi has recently found out about Ashton’s secret life as Unmaskd. She’s furious he never told about his secret @unmaskd Twitter and unmaskd.com site and Tumblr and all his soul seeking stuff that has been doing in front everyone, but hiding from her.
Girlfriend needs to ditch him once and for all.
I don’t think any of this has to do with ratings for 2 and a Half Men because it doesn’t need it. The show managed to pull in 20 million this past Monday when predictions had it dropping to a 14-15 million range.
I think he got caught because he cheated with the wrong person. Some of these women can be bought off and will sign the confidentiality agreements and never speak. I think this time he hooked up with someone who’s seeing stars in addition to dollar signs. And she’s taking a chance that she can turn her notoriety of being the other woman into some stardom or career opportunities of her own. Hence the hiring of a HW lawyer with ties to the entertainment industry.
That said, I’m not excusing him or feeling sorry for him at all. If you don’t want the rumors or hassle of such stories or evidence of it all to exist, then don’t do it to begin with. He’s probably an arrogant douchebag and he’s definitely got a rep for being not that great to his pre-Demi significant others.
I feel sorry for the Willis girls. They’ve already lived through one super public divorce. Now another one. Yeah, they’re all older now but it still sucks for any family going through a divorce and to see their parent’s marital issues play out every day in the press. And they seemed really attached to Ashton and trusted him and embraced him as a part of Demi/their lives almost from the get go.
Oddly enough, I seriously doubt that Chuck Lorre/CBS wants this kind of behavior from their savior.
I tend to suspect that Lorre told Ashton to shut this mess down.
That he did not need another actively whoring actor and his personal drama… over shadowing a show that barely made it back.
So we have not heard a word from either PR camp… and probably won’t. There will be a quite announcement done a month from now. Maybe over Thanksgiving weekend, when it can be down played.
I have also wonder about if the marriage was a legal service. As in the State of California, recognized it as a marriage. Or was it some “spiritual” ceremony.
I agree, they’re boring. I also think she appears desperate and immature. I don’t care how you slice it, dice it, lift it, fill it, plump it, or fake it…you’re never going to look like you’re 25. You’ll look like you’re fifty…with work. Some relationships just have a shelf life and this was one of them.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again. I think Ashton is the one that’s done with the marriage. I think Demi would stay with him despite how many times he cheated. My theory is that the Kabhala (sp?) sessions are Demi trying to convince/coerce Ashton into staying in the marriage and to keep his cheating under wraps and away from the press. I do think she is desperate enough to do something like that.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the marriage wasn’t legal. But everyone needs to remember that this is CA and if they were co-habitating for more than 7 years palimony can come into play which would essentially be the same thing if they were married.
This whole story reeks of desperation on both ends. I think Ashton is moronic famewhore and I think Demi is a desperate famewhore. I mean really who really cares about these two? More people on this site are interested in Liz Hurley marrying her reassembled Jiminy Cricket robot. I think the only person surprised by the fact Ashton is an unfaithful douche is Demi.
I’m jumping on the they are both boring as hell bandwagon, not interested in either one of them. They have just been embarassing, constant tweeting, her clinging to him like he’s the last lifeboat and the Titanic is going down. He still seems incredibly immature.
@Firecracker: I thought it was Cruise/Holmes since they married in Italy (maybe without filing all the appropriate legal papers beforehand for an overseas marriage) but douchebag/Moore also makes sense. Who knows with these Hollywood fruit loops …
It’s gone quiet. So I’m sure he payed her off. But that girl got nowhere near the 250,000 she was seeking.
I get the feeling they like to “play” with the media and twitter. Sort of like we are being “punkd” like Ashton’s old show.
@eva – Like you, I’m Demi’s age too. And like you, I’m surfing the web and eating breakfast. Only I’m not eating cookies. I’m eating yogurt. As in frozen. With chocolate syrup. And whipped cream. Just a small amount of course, after all it is breakfast, well, actually brunch at this point 🙂
Lantana, you need a life.
Demi’s face is scary boney since she has kabbalahed all fat cells from her life.
demi needs to age gracefully i mean now her face still looks wrinkly and old, like wrapping paper that was used before and you try to wrap it tight around a new object but it was wrinkled before and it shows. lol and she uses radio waves on her face, i told this to my 70 year old mother last night and we both agreed that sounds weird and not known of, who knows what risks that procedure might carry? and i heard botox is extremely painful and wears off in 6 months tops so we both agreed it’s not worth it. age gracefully demi, eat well, take care of your skin but do not succumb to such desperate acts not only does it look terrible but also sad and embarrassing
I think he is scum. If he wants out of the marriage, fine. But he doesn’t need to cheat and humiliate Demi and the girls he has lived with and loved all these years. A quiet, dignified split would take care of his problem and he could go on to his new life with some honor. But nooooooo, he has to be pond scum. I’ll never watch anything he is in, ever.
I’m 45 – My hubby’s 29.. etc.. and yeah the sex is the bomb heh heh heh RAWR! Cougs unite! RAWR!
Let him go Demi. You’ve always been mismatched. You have no kids together.If that awful twitter pic of her lying in bed where she looked laid out in a coffin didn’t ppush him over the edge! Cut that damn hair and get a new man.
