May I simply say… [ew?](http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds12884.html)

Does anyone really think this won’t be a tank on the level of Madonna/Guy Ritchie’s _Swept Away_?

They’ve gotta be kidding. I had a number of jokes lined up (like \* next don’t miss Paul Walker in Citizen Kane II\*) but then I realised the whole thing is a joke. I can’t see this happening…but I have been wrong before, a short while ago I thought the video Dirty would hurt Christina Aguilara’s career…

They’d be much better in _Sunset Boulevard_ . . . With Bruce Willis as Max. “I was Madame’s first husband . . .”

The very thought of Kutcher _trying_ to spit out the line “Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?” provoked a strange gagging reflex and a dry heave.

I’m not going to read the link. It is something I mustn’t know.

I think it was this bit that got me:

And then Demi will point out the cameras and tell Ashton that he’s just been “punk’d” and a good laugh will be had by all.

The\* Daily Star\* has aspirations to authenticity like the National Enquirer has aspirations to be the Newspaper of Record.

So, as much as I understand – and I surely do - how Demi Moore’s gaze may cause grown men of any age to abandon empires, a snip in the Daily Star is no basis for believing a film is going to happen.
