Ashton Kutcher said to reporters in Tel Aviv:  “A lot of times my wife and I sit across from each other and tweet, it’s a little bizarre. It’s the same reason why you send roses to a woman at work.

It’s an Arquette family sport in Hollywood to “divide and conquer” when it comes to publicity and having a film to promote.

Our Scottish-Hollywood brother, Gerard Butler is not someone, who first springs to mind for having the best and healthiest skin in the bizzo.
