With any luck, Kutcher”s career could be brief
Ashton Kutcher says if his new movie “A Lot Like Love” tops the weekend box office, he’ll model underwear.
“If we are the No. 1 movie in America, I will do a Calvin Klein underwear campaign,” Kutcher told “Access Hollywood” on Tuesday.
“It’s actually a bet that I made with my producing partner, so we will see what happens,” he added.
Kutcher modeled for clothing lines before launching his movie career, including magazine ads for Calvin Klein and catwalk work for Versace.
He co-stars with Amanda Peet in “A Lot Like Love,” a romantic comedy which opens Friday.
Posing in underwear wouldn’t seem to be an issue for the 27-year-old Kutcher, who had no trouble doing his first nude scene for the film.
“I like being nude,” he said. “So for me, it wasn’t incredibly tough.”
Was Witherspoon illegally hounded?
Reese Witherspoon filed a police complaint for false imprisonment after being surrounded by a swarm of paparazzi while leaving an L.A. gym following her morning workout.
The “Legally Blonde” star said she managed to get into her car with the help of her trainer, but was pursued by a half-dozen vehicles “driving aggressively and almost cutting her off at times.”
When she arrived home, she said, one of the pursuers blocked her front gate before her security detail chased the intruders away.
Last week, Jennifer Lopez said she got “goose pimples” after photographers tailing her car cut off her driver at a traffic light in Beverly Hills, almost causing an accident.
She must have had a bone to pick
A New York judge issued an arrest warrant for “American Pie” star Natasha Lyonne, who failed to appear on time for a court hearing on charges stemming from a rampage during which she was heard threatening to molest a neighbor’s dog.
Lyonne, 26, was charged with criminal mischief, harassment and trespass after an unexplained fit of rage in December, when authorities said she banged on the door of her neighbor, stormed into the apartment and ripped a mirror from the wall.
Police called to the scene said Lyonne told the neighbor, “I’m going to sexually molest your dog.”
In 2001, Lyonne lost control of her car in Miami Beach while driving drunk, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six months probation.
Guess he was in a rush
Chris Tucker, co-star of the “Rush Hour” cop-buddy movie series, was arrested for reckless driving and fleeing to elude near his Atlanta home last Sunday after failing to stop for police trying to pull him over for speeding.
Tucker, 33, whose 2005 Bentley was clocked at 109 mph, spent a half-hour behind bars before posting bond.
Sort of the science of the scam
Jodie Foster and Denzel Washington have been cast to star in “Inside Man,” a drama about a clever bank robber looking for the perfect heist.
Spike Lee will direct, with Clive Owen co-starring. Shooting is set to start this summer.
