Ashton Kutcher: It's Not Easy Being Rich and Famous
Filed under: Ashton Kutcher > When Celebrities Blog
Potato Head's stepfather, in his own words:
"a brief retort to the critics
Current mood: chipper
140 characters works for some things. Sometimes you need more space. I would like to address the spin factories around the world. Over the last week my posts on twitter have received a lot of attention. I have not begged or pulled or asked for any of it. Let me set a few facts straight.
1) I do not think that going off on my neighbor was a horribly offensive thing to do. I have been woken up every morning for the last four months by hammering and construction on a structure that is very close to our property line after being told the land was being purchased to build a park. Yes, there may have been a more diplomatic way to do it and maybe broadcasting it for the net wasn't the wisest choice. My father is a contractor my step father is a contractor. I grew up hiking shingles to the roof of houses and driving nails at 7 am for a living. I have absolute compassion and understanding for the workers. I do however have a job that sometimes forces me to work into the night (sometimes the movie business requires that) and occasionally I like to sleep past 7 am. Yes I live a very fortunate life and for that I am very greatful, I do however work for a living. I have a family that I support and a company that I run daily. And I cherish the 4 to 6 hours that I sleep a day.
2) I didn't "chuck beverages" at the construction workers. They were very happy to see us and laughing at the whole ordeal. I asked them if they wanted something to drink and they said yes. I thought that it would be a nice gesture. I am sorry if some found this offensive. But I know that the workers loved it.
3) I don't feel that my distain for the unwarranted attack on my step daughters by a blogger I will not name is out of line at all.
4) I don't smoke marijuana and any statement to the contrary is a lie. I simply feel that Michael Phelps is entitled to his privacy. The kid made a mistake (he is only human) and anyone who has been in the public eye knows the magnification of minor missteps can be blown way out of proportion. Yes he is a role model and a great one at that. But I'm sure that in his lapse of judgment he wasn't thinking, "boy I hope the whole world can see this so that kids everywhere can copy me." And truth be told, if they went out and trained and worked as hard as he has to reach the great heights of success in their careers I wouldn't hammer them about a slip up either. And in kind I would like to retract any negative statement that I made about the kid who published the pic. I'm sure he/she wasn't in a sober head space while taking it or publishing it for that matter (you are the company you keep). I leave perfection to the creator of this great universe and wouldn't assume that duty on any human being.
5) I find it exceedingly disappointing that the press coverage of my wife and my blog posts have not included the philanthropic pursuits that we have adopted and encourage. Our intention in becoming more active on the web has been with the effort to connect to the community in an effort to create a greater bond with the amazing fans that we have adopted over several years. We are sharing our lives our thought our ideas and yes our faults with the hope of using connectivity and oneness to build a greater unity and take down the walls that divide us. We have dedicated ourselves to building a coalition to abolish 21st century slavery and are smart enough to know that we can't do it alone. But truth be told we are having fun connecting with people and if we are to be defamed for doing so, so be it. We aren't publishing news. We are sharing with a community of people that are sharing back with us. So I only ask that you don't take our conversation out of context and please stop printing half truths in the media so as to drive up your user consumption and sell more ads on the content that you claim to be news."

What a loser
What a bitch. You know what sucks Ashton? Being in debt, not knowing when you'll ever get out of debt and having to sell of your shit so you dont get too far in debt. Shut the fuck up Ashton.
Whoa
Sounds like a pretty smart guy. Makes you look kind of petty and stupid Perez.
Re: natalie22 – SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE IS JEALOUS OF ASHTON'S MONEY……
I'm not even going to read this. He was a douche b/4 the incident and will be after it; so I don't care.
Wait is he actually working? Filming a movie?
i think he's talking about you perez in #3
ooh, poor Ashton. It must be hard having tons of money and sleeping to noon, but still have time to complain about your neighbour building his house. sucks to be you. bo-ho. grow up.
first!
he should go to mommy (demi, i mean) and for consolation
Re: King_K_Rool –
SUCK MY DICK, SUCK MY MOTHERFUCKING DICK, BITCH!
here we go again…..
SUCK MY DICK, SUCK MY MOTHERFUCKING DICK.
I WISH I WAS RICH
I WISH I WAS RICH
I WISH I WAS RICH
I WISH I WAS RICH
I have never liked that whiny sissy. am I supposed to feel sorry for him? daughter # 1 = tater head. Daughter # 2 Travolta/willis clone. Third daughter = evil looks… she looks mean. Wife = cougar addicted to plastic surgery
boo fucking hoo!! his salary could feed all of africa for a month! what a loser.
Good for him and he is RIGHT!
We should all have Ashton's problems. Poor baby. Come to think of it, we should all have Christian Bale's problems, too. Thankfully, I only have to worry about keeping a job and paying bills. Whew!
ASK for consolation
the guy should be forced his pathetic shows while tied to a chair until he ask for forgiveness
doesn't he have a show with Tyra (the dumb Oprah) coming up?
Re: AddictingGirls – ARE YOU ON METH OR SOMETHING YA RETART??? YOU POST THE MOST USELESS SHIT, I SWEAR. JUST PLEASE SHUT UP AND HAVE ANOTHER CIGARETTE AND T.V DINNER YA WHITE TRASH BITCH
Porker Perez WISHED Ashton would be his twitter friend!
*
Perez keeps replying to his twitters, but is always ignored!!
*
LOL!!!!
geez….only read the first two lines because this is absolute bull shit…..who wrote this for him it's absolute crap and most of it is trying to sound smart but comes out wrong……idiot
Weird/
i love how his wife is 50 and he's like 18
Re: King_K_Rool –
FUCK YOO. FAT BITCH.
*YAWN*
so ashton kutcher seems perfectly normal. he works. he entertains. he gets paid for it. he married someone he loves. he's protective of his step-children. he wants to sleep in. he is protective of his home. he is pissed off at beng tormented by a fat irritating un-educated obnoxious wannabe who doesn't know him and judge things he doesn't understand. hmmm? yes i can see what the problem is perez, you ninny. you are a twaatt with a size 20 rump who stalks men in an effort to replace your daddy - only to be cast off, the same way daddy did to you, - so in a sad pathetic attempt to make yourself feel better, and to try to hurt daddy, you lash out like a little girl, who's lost her dolly. aside from your sad upbringing, your father's drinking and drugs, your mother's pedophile family, and that horrible incident with your uncle, in the "bad" tent (why did you keep going back there), what ever do you have against hard working attractive people. did uncy really hurt you that bad. because i'm fairly certain ashton didnt touch you that way - god perez, let the lambs stop screaming already, there are other outlets. they call them psychiatrists and they make a lot of people feel better - maybe you could ask brit or your horse head little pony paris if they could recommend someone - it really is getting out of control and we really all just want you to get better
Wow, a young celebrity who can write intelligently. I'm impressed. Ashton makes some very valid points. Some media people really do need to realize when it' s time to back off.
damn I was on his side an then I fell asleep reading it. too much
Re: AddictingGirls – I'M SKINNY YA DUMB ASS. GO CHOP OFF YOUR BUNIONS…!!
i love ashton.
i dont think he did anything wrong.
i love you perez but you really need to get over bashing ashton kutcher… and start bashing miley cyrus!!! haha
HAHAAH!!! he hates you perez and hopes you gain 60lbs!!! HAAHAA.
HE HATES YOU!
HE HATES YOU!
oh ashton….
damage has been done- i already told u that.
any more yappering just makes you look like a little bitch.
yes, we get it- you say you work- whatev- we havent seen u in a movie in a long while…. just sayin girl…
oh bc your dad was a contractor we should consider you of comman man- who cares….
you're still coming across as a spoiled little bitch who spends his days reading gossip blogs like this one-
and thats the fucking truth bitch…
Re: King_K_Rool –
Your a fat ass bitch in your 30's, with nothing to do but start arguments online, because you are a fucking fuck.
And FYI Im 17 and a girl.
aww poor Ashton. Quick, someone put boobies in his face to make him happy again. quick!
He wakes up to a clean houe that a maid (or several maids) cleans for him.
He eats breakfast that his chef cooks for him.
He stays in shape witking in his home gym where a trainer works with him.
He goes to work in a limo that a driver picks him up in.
He's got millions in the bank and is set for life. He never has to work again if he wants.
aww POOR LIFE! I feel SO BAD for you.
He's a celebrity, he knows what the press is like. To make a plea to them is stupid. What he should do is like some celebrities stop reading celebrity news. That way he won't get his feelings hurt.
the best part about all of this is that ashton kutcher has punked perez hilton so badly, and she doesnt even get it - what an idiotic, clueless ass whore…and you are all right there getting punked too
hmmm…i'm ashton…i havent got any new movies or any prospects…we need publicity…who is stupid enough to fall for a publicity stunt in this highly educated media generation??? really there is no one - oh wait - who is that little stuffed puff, who dresses in mommie's nighty and was ass fingered by his uncle - that kind of damage surely makes people dumb - yes perez hilton - that two tonne tesse with a very popular web site - quick get the cam - lets stage a web show, then stage a fight with the ppl next door, we'll cut them in on the take and with any lick dumb ass fruit flaky will take the bait like its cum dripping from daddy's pipe and splash us all over the net, giving us the attention we need for a publicity buffet. its freakin beautiful mannnn. wait how will we ever stage such an event - oh wait = i hosted a freakin show just like that called - listen perez - PUNK'd
I read the whole thing and all I can say is Demi really deserves her young stud if she's willing to listen to long winded diatribes like that.
maybe he had to get up extra early to write all these fucking words down….
demi doesnt need to adopt a child until shes done raising ths spoiled ashton
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Oh AWESOME. Perez is soooooooooo going to luv this. Potato Head is now also on twitter — @TheRue
Hahaha, he treated you like the shit you are and barely paid any attention to you at all
Poor Perez LOL LOL LOL Assfuck 
I wanna watch him get fucked.
that ad perez runs of his pony pal paris cracks me up. she looks more like a horse in that picture then anything so far and the ad itself is hysterical. like she could ever dream of a 120 iq??? the closest she'll ever get to 120 is number of cocks shoved in her in one night - still a very distant 3rd to perez with that incredible record of 234. god - can you imagine. no wonder he walks that way. and when did he get fatter. he's sarting to look like liz taylor - current day - perez - you live in LA - its called lipo baby - a little tuck here and a little nip there - ooopss - that was mean - i didnt mean to remind you of your trip to asia - just can't tease a rice queen
You know what I think…it takes money to make money and Ashton fell into some sick money…now he's making some of the same. Marry it or produce and direct it…it seems to be working for New Hollywood Kutcher. I'm impressed he would formally address it regardless of his vacuous intellectual prowess. I need to get lil' kutcher to wear a Mockstarbaby tee shirt just once and all my worries will be gone. Maybe someday. www.mockstarbaby.com
I wonder how it feels Perez to know that you are the lowest pond scum on the earth
Ashton is a HAS BEEN married to an old fart, granny. Her plastic surgery will only hold up for so long. We'll see how important he feels in another 10 years, walking around with a wrinkled, dry twat by his side. Does he really think anyone gives a fuck what he has to say? Get a clue, Ashton. YOU DON'T MATTER ANYMORE!!!!!
fuck u, Ashton. Your a no talent and lucky to have what u do. So shut the fuck up and find another way to entertain us.
Re: Milky! – Hey beautiful moo cow - how are your tits????
SHUT UP BITCH!!!
THAT WAS WAY TOO LONG.
Wow I thought I could waffle on - Ashton has a lot to say. (o:
Re the "blogger" does he mean you Perez???
Surely not - he knows that "potato head" is a term of endearment right????
perez hilton poor old queen
his daddy left him that was mean
mamma couldnt make ends meet
had to live with uncle pete
he took you into big bad tent
told you how to pay the rent
touched you kissed you - felt so good
except you liked it - gave you wood
now you eat to dull the pain
tv dinners, pink champagne
poor old perez, packed on weight
and never ever saw things straight
ran away to hollywood
and sold his ass as best he could
turned to drugs and calling names
just to dull his daddy pain
now he sits and blogs bad dreams
sucking blood like crispy creams
perez hilton such a shame
someday you wll feel no pain
its all about to crash right down
you just got branded has-been clown
His wife is gross and old. He needs to trade her in for a newer model.
Ashton: since you read the blogs, please heed this advice: you can certainly afford to soundproof your house, so….why don't you?! You live in the world with the rest of us, we don't live in your world. If you want peace and quiet, go live in the country somewhere - certainly not in one of the largest cities in the world! Then you could commute back and forth on your private jet/helicopter.
See how easy that is?
Re: canadianbitch – Wow! You really are a bitch. (o:
good advice, los anjelous!!! loving you
Re: Mistress – just callz it the way i seez it - besides perez needs to face his demonz if he's ever going to be a real boy
Re: light2you – "lowest pond scum on the earth" - I think you need to get out more - he didn't kill anyone for Gods sake.
It's called freedom of choice - don't logon.
It's OK to hate Perez - he doesn't mind - but at least keep it realistic.
I read the first 5 or so lines and I only have one thing to say…Yawn!
"distain" new word, ashton? or "disdain"?
maybe it's a punk'd word meaning to unstain one's reputation through futile attempts
the thing with publicity stunts is they only work if you can find hundreds of really idiotic no mind losers that will fall for them - and one big giant tv dinner eatin ass whore with a pink pony and a daddy complex to put you on their blog and give you a stage to broadcast from
opportunity = perez hilton
Re: canadianbitch – I'm all for a little hate - it can be kinda fun sometimes - but you're aiming for a jugular there sister and unless the man personally offended you or your family I'm wondering why you chose to go that low. Attacking a man over his relationship (or not) with his dad would be painful to anyone, so you're aiming to stick him where it hurts - but why?
Re: Mistress – slow day
i couldn't even read that for lack of correct grammar and spelling. please, if you're going to try to condescend to people about their overreactions to your ridiculous video rant, at least be smart enough to use a dictionary and spell words correctly. idiot.
Whiney, self-indulgent, grand-standing DOUCHE. I loathe him even more, and I didn't fathom that even a possibility!
Re: AddictingGirls – lol, i'm 17 and a girl too. so we're even?
The media will continue to print whatever the fuck they want to ASSton..you are a fucking loser who should STFU because no one gives a damn what you have to say..and its really pathetic that you had your mommy, Dumi, write that babbling speech!
Awww….life is soooooo hard for you Ashton.
There are people that wake up to tankers, thousands of miles away from home.
There are people that work 3 or 4 jobs, just to keep a roof over their head.
There are are losing limbs and lives so you can have the freedom to blog.
There are people that are KILLING their families/people/themselves because they are so distraught and stressed about their situations…
And you're bitching about being in the public eye, and making millions without having to do back-breaking work? ( and working at a cereal factory for like 5 years is nothing compared to people that have a 9 to 5 until they RETIRE)
Go eat your salad that was hand delivered by your assistant and go f*ck yourself.
Re: Mistress – Mistress! i missed the memo naming you the ethics police for this blog. Can someone resend? When did mistress get the conch? The only thing more pathetic than perez is the little asian house boy he brought home from malasia and makes log in to his blog as "mistress" pretending to defend his honour. Back to the kitchen hop sing. the saki's gettin cold and perez is gonna need another spring roll soon - you know what they say
OMG LEAVE ASHTON ALONE you stupid FUCKS! You all wouldve bitched too and you fucking KNOW IT so lay off him….
I like him.
.
Hey Mistress!
Whaaaaaa… I want more credit for our philanthropic pursuits!
Re: Mistress – HIGH MISTRESS GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU.
HOW ARE THE BABBIES(HeeeHeee).WHAT'S UP WITH CB (STRANGE POEM).
dO U KNOW HER?
Re: Brendolynne –
i agree completly!!
Re: Ava J – Amen sister? You gotta feel for the guy. It must be awful knowing that her ex is most likely still obsessed with her and is just waiting for the two of them to get divorced so he can swoop in and "reclaim" her. Of course that will never happen, so he might as well go ahead and marry the young kid he's been banging around with. Ashton's letter, by the way, did sound very smart, it pays to have Pr guys and gals who can write this crap and allow you to claim the credit.
Stop your cry'n you fucking baby…. you live a charmed life. I like how he added the dad and step dad construction worker comment in like hes a common person. Why your crying about the noise level next door people are losing their jobs, homes and 401K they have worked their entire lives for in hopes of one day living out their golden years in confort. The entire video made you look like such an asshole and out of touch with reality. You give someone a little money and fame and they feel so entitled its just fucking gross to all of us who really work for a living.
~
As with most celebs philanthropic pursuits are just another way to fight the bad press …. What happen to the oath you made Ashton for the president??
~
No comment would be the best response at this point ….. you pot head
Re: brofoski – lmao!
ASSton, the house you live in took 10 years to build, cry me a river. Did granny, I mean Demi, lose some beauty sleep?
Fuck you and your insulated poor little rich boy life.
Your just Kelso, nothing more, take your pile of money and your "mommy" fixation and shove it up your potato sack.
Fuck that bitch. I had construction for 4 years 3 feet from my property line. I'm a teacher…ooooh! and with "some" time off was never able to sleep in. Even when they started at 6:00 am and I called the cops who came after 7 and said there was nothing they could do "because it was past 7." I'm sure AK has more time off than a teacher and should quit his bitching. Life's rough n some of us don't even have jobs so just fuck off!
Ashton is the best… lucky Demi, I had the amazing chance of working with him and he is the most humble and funny guy ever!!! He always has nice and warm words to others and he is only filled with good intentions… I just think he was totally missunderstood and is great that he has the balls to come up with this and clear it point by point… he is a lovely man who clearly adores his smoking hot wife and has a real love for his step-daughters… whoever finds him out of point is just jealous of all the things he has at this early age specially for a guy comming from a humble family!!!
Ashton you are the best so fuck the rest!
Re: Veruca Salt – True that, what a baby!
Re: Jezzebelle – OMG, like, you're so right!
This guy has no talent. He's a loser who "tricks" celebrities. Wow! He's a D-List celebrity.
Re: canadianbitch – LOL - nice how you can segue from a question from a position of curiosity to intimating police action (o:
It was a simple question really, but freedom of speech also means you dont have to answer.
I'm just wondering why you're hating so hard?
I miss Ashton.
Re: canadianbitch – you are my heroe… i luv you!!!!
STFU ASHTON. I'm not even gonna bother reading all that bullshit. No one gives a shit in space about your fucking problems with being a celebrity.
Re: SWEETPIECE LOVES THE OBAMAS! – Hey Bunny (o:
Re: King_K_Rool –
Yeah were cool B)
HAHA.
your still an asshole ashton
Re: Mistress – hey Mistress hope u had a nice one!!!! can't wait for your comments….
Re: the last star – Hey Star - its all good. How are you - did you see Real OG's big challenge to us last night??? I couldn't stop laughing. I wonder when he will reveal himself???? You know he wouldn't make that up right???? LMAO
I hope the neighbor sues this punk for slander.
This is sad. He needs to attend college. He cannot write a legible sentence. I am sure Demi's girls are smarter than him. Very sad.
Re: Kate27 – Hey Katie - maybe there should be a "Fierce Bitches of Perez Hilton" calender. Canadian Bitch can be on the cover - she wins LOL. The rest of us can fight it out for the inner pages. (o:
sounds like a smart guy, my respect for him just did a 180
