I like Ashton Kutcher. He’s cute, he’s funny… What’s not to like? And I like the extra spin that he put on the Candid Camera type format. Had there been a show done with mostly all celebrities? ALSO, for you people who don’t like him: I heard a funny quote from Brittany Murphy on one of those late night talk shows. This isn’t direct, but it’s close “I think it’s great that he’s dating Demi Moore. It’s great that he doesn’t mind the age difference and she doesn’t mind that he’s small!” hahaha I saw that on a preview last night. Funny stuff. ---

I swear that Demi Moore thing has to be the most successful publicity stunt ever. Kutcher is fricking EVERYWHERE now. He was at the teen choice awards wearing some ridiculous hat - I give him 10 more minutes. ---

I think it’s a publicity stunt: Ashton is actually dating Bruce Willis while Demi is actually dating Anne Heche who’s also dating… Bruce Willis. Those Hollywood people are into that sort of stuff. ---

He’s definately overrated. Once again the mindless corporate media takes a preety boy character who is astoundingly unfunny and makes a giant out of him. Sure, he’s funny and somewhat fresh as Kelso. But it is my contention that Wilmer Valderrama and Mila Kunis are far superior to him on that show. And the least said about his movie, the better. He’s like a boy band of movies- pretty but vacuous. Just my $0.02 ---

> [@](#): > > _originally posted by Juanita Tech_ > Now, I’ll never be labeled as a fan of Puffy P. Diddy Daddy Pufferton or whatever he’s calling himself these days but I think a distinction should be made between _inventing the remix and inventing the remix **as we know it today**._ Interesting. I’d always thought he was just making a ridiculous claim. I never realised that he thought he was still true. I guess all I can say is, you’re wrong Puffy. The remix has been around a lot longer than him. He may well have been the first to profit from the remix, but to claim that he invented it is like McDonalds claiming that they invented the hamburger. Hip-hop is based on the remix. You could arguably claim that Grandmaster Flash and Kool Herc did the first hip-hop remixes. ---

gex gex, I don’t think you’re getting it. Puffy McPufferton isn’t claiming to have invented to remix. I think, and I realize I must have one big set to presume to speak for Mr. Combs, he’s claiming to have **re** invented the remix. In other words, he knows the remix came about when he was but a tot but he’s claiming to have taken it to new levels. ---

I see where you’re coming from **Juanita** , but I just can’t buy it. Sean Combs is a publicity hound, and this “controversy” just gets more people talking about him. Hell, look at us! Nobody likes him, but we’re all talking about him. Mission accomplished. The same goes for Boy Toy du jour- it doesn’t matter what they call you, as long as they call you. He’s getting over, which is so sad. There will probably be more stories out this week about he & Demi than there will be paying tribute to Gregory Hines, and that is a damn shame. ---

I also believe that everyone in Hollywood dates each other or marries each other, eventually. It’s some sort of inbred rule. All for publicity. Which is why they all are nuts. Beautiful, but nuts. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ashton-kutcher-the-new-pauly-shore/193690.md?page=1)
