independent pretense
Back when Demi Moore married Ashton Kutcher many people asked themselves "How long can it last?" She is many years older than he is. Now that Demi is many years older than she was when she met Ashton, the cheating rumours are finally starting. Here what recently got posted on Jezebel:Back in July, Ashton was at the Italian restaurantMadeo in LA with friends and “a bevy of women who looked like fashion models.” He “snuck off” with one “stunner” to a dark, secluded, hallway bathroom.
An eyewitness says: “Ashton had this gorgeous girl pinned against the wall and he was totally making out with her.” He had his baseball cap turned around “for easier access to the thin and leggy girl’s lips.”
The source says: “His hands were on her hips and she was pushing up against the mirrored wall so she couldn’t move, and he was grinding on her. He heard me walk by, and tried to bury his face in her neck so I wouldn’t recognize him. But I could see him clearly, because he was reflected in the mirror. I also saw him earlier at the bar. I know what he was wearing. So there’s no mistaking that it was Ashton Kutcher.”
So we have Ashton and some model types caught in an act of hanky panky by the usual unnamed sources! Naturally Ashton and Demi were quick to respond to this by their usual medium of choice - Twitter (perhaps they've discovered that Twitter is an easier means of getting attention that making movies?):
So the situation has gone from serious to libelous. How could things reach this point? Well things were fine and dandy while Bruce Willis was the 3rd Musketeer. Back then his presence as a 3rd wheel in the relationship had more tongues wagging then the Demi Ashton age difference.Though Ashton claimed he could teach a course on getting along with the ex Willis revealed that he had made a conscious effort to get along with everyone. For one thing he liked seeing his kids. For another he still had a thing for his ex.
Though the triangle is usually the most dangerous relationship shape, this time it provided stability. Demi was free to take it easy with Ashton, knowing that if worst came to worst it wasn't that bad - she still had Bruce waiting in the wings. In addition to the ego stroking this must've given her it must also have given her an upper hand in the realtionship. Now, in addition to being older, more successful, and more experienced than Ashton, she also didn't even really need him emotionally.
This situation came to and end when Bruce got remarried to a chick he'd met while doing Perfect Stranger (PS was Bruce's vehicle for wife hunting. For the female supporting role he had casting directors shop around modeling agencies for him. The agencies sent in the head shots and if he saw anyone he liked he'd invite them around for an audition which he sat in on.). That left Demi as a 45+ actress married to a 30 something and with no prospects at all if he ever left. Eventually there were bound to be rumours.
Assuming that the rumours are true - we can't be exactly sure why the apple cart got upset now. Maybe Ashton started feeling his oats. He's a relatively young, bright, successful actor who's established an independent career for himself. So maybe now was the time for him to begin acting more confidently.
Then again maybe it was Demi who changed. Now that Ashton was all she had, she might have started clinging on with a vengeance. You know how attractive that can be! For some strange reason a desperate clingy woman will drive guys away at supersonic speed. So perhaps as reality set in, Moore got a little freaked by it, and started turning the screws on the vice she was tightening! Many chicks will try that, even though it usually has the opposite effect to what was intended.
Anyway the upshot is that I'm inclined to think that there may be something to it this time. There some interesting circumstantial evidence, in addition to all those unnamed sources that the tabs keep referring to. Even if it is true, Ashton and Demi may get through this. Even if they don't they've had a good ten year run together, and that's more than most celebrity love affairs ever get! Here's looking at you, kids!
