Ashton Kutcher: It's Not Easy Being Rich and Famous

Filed under: Ashton Kutcher > When Celebrities Blog

wenn5235784.jpg

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."

    Everything he said was cool EXCEPT that bullshizz about "growing up" doing construction work "for a living." WTF? Didn't this guy start doing tv shows when he was a teenager? Wasn't he in school before that? Fuck you for trying to act all blue collar Ashton, cuz you ain't.

    Re: kitteh.

    Great point, babe.



  3. 103

    If he doesn't like the critisism of the things he says and posts on his blogs, maybe he should shut the hell up???? They always whine that they don't have enough privacy, that they are ridiculed and critisized and yet they continue to take their overly large paychecks to the bank AND they keep blogging. Rediculous!

  6. 106

    He does have a point though. Everyone is blowing everything he does out of proportion. And Perez you really do need to leave Rumer alone. What did she ever do to you? I think she is beautiful and you are just jealous.

    Re: The REAL Orchidgirl! – WHO IS THE REAL ORCHIDGIRL????
    A gutless wonder who hides behind someone elses's identity.
    A schizophrenic delusional with anger management issues.
    A friendless loser with socially destructive tendancies.

  51. 151

    Re: orchidgirl – You never left liar!



  52. 152

    Ashton, I have my own list for you. Yes you & Demi have done some good deeds but, 1. People who do good deeds usually don't keep reminding the public of those deeds. 2. Your acting sucks worse than Keanu & you're not as good looking. 3. Perez didn't give Rumer that face, so why get mad at him.



  53. 153

    Re: Mistress – Dumbass saggy bitch you do realize Last Felon Star called you out on comment 151! hahahahahaha Goodness women get a grip and stop kissing his FELON ass! you're like a dumb Lifetime Movie! a dumb bitch who falls for a felon and believes ALL his bullshit!

    Re: MistressRe: the last star
    Mistress,
    You daily condescending lectures, sermons and monologues are awfully boring. and only a scum like you would impersonate other posters, pretending to be someone else. You always make snide and hateful remarks behind other people's backs. You are not a very nice human being. You complain and whine preach too much.
    I wish everyone all the best. I wish Mistress all the worst.
    Life is wonderful !



  61. 161

    Wow…Kelso has completely lost touch with reality. It's funny, though, to watch him dig the hole deeper and deeper.

  63. 163

    Re: jcapflorida
    Haha!

    p.s. someone said he wrote intelligently, too bad "disdain" is spelled incorrectly. I actually looked to see if "distain" is a word, it's not. (That made me sound dumb but I haven't finished reading the dictionary yet.)



  64. 164

    Just be happy that you can sleep late next to Fraken-Demi. How dare you.. thousands of people are out of work now and you are harrassing folks that have a job.

    I only hope that you have some small sense of conscience to give you a twinge of shame.



  65. 165

    Sorry, but I still can't stand the punk. I'm not buying his sob story. He's always looking for attention.

    PS–Smart? The kid misspelled tons of easy words.



  66. 166

  67. 167

    Re: orchidgirl – OMG I soooooooooooooo agree! I am changing my name and I have to say YOU were right and they are shit and I was wrong! She is a BITCH! she thinks her shit doesn't stink!
    What do you think of Slimy Mistress Slut Fuck? Saggy Twat Mistress? Any ideas let me know! FYI: I'm not pretending to be you as it's obvious I'm not, different name and avi! Mistress actually steals avies and names and pretends to be the other people! I was just giving you shit but she actually steals avies! WEIRD!

    Re: The REAL Orchidgirl! – Hey you! Mistress is cool. You know you like her. Just needing to vent? Now you like Orchid? What gives? What's his name is boring but never a problem to me. The multiples on this site are funny to watch and read.
    Personally, always been SP. Always will.
    .
    So, give something positive. Something beautiful. Come on now…..



  73. 173

    That is the guy from the 70s show right?



  74. 174

    Doesn't this loser have ANYTHING else to do in the day? I mean, is his head so full of crap that he has to write daily essays?? Go to college, write something for ppl who get paid to read it, dipstick!

    well, for one, my main bitch are celebs who are generally highly UNeducated (i dont think ya got your degree did ya?) ass mouths who celebrate themselves to the point of complete narcissism and then feel the need to preach to the rest of us about how we should bring fucking oneness to the earth-
    just please
    please ashton
    just shut.the.fuck.up
    go back to your fucking hollywood house
    and shut.the.fuck.up

  80. 180

    the only celeb i find more annoying right now than ashton is gwyneth paltrow - who also, is highly UNeducated but feels the need to preach her goop ideology to the rest of us common folk…..



  81. 181

    Re: orchidgirl – #173 LMAO You just run back and enjoy your wonderful life OK. Once again - if you don't like it - don't read it.
    But then apart from tending to your flowers and making lemonade you don't have much of a life do you.
    Dont fuck with me Natasha - you're way out of your league!!!!!



  82. 182

    ONE WORD: EARPLUGS!!!

    The boiler at my house makes fucking loud sounds of metal being strangled all day and night. I'm never home during the day but at night the EARPLUGS come out! What an ingenius solution!! If only Ashton had the brains to figure that out!



  83. 183

    Re: The REAL Orchidgirl! – God you're pathetic - now you're siding with OG. LMFAO You get sadder and sadder by the day - but also a hell of a lot more entertaining.
    Bring it on psychos - this is a lot more fun now.
    I told you Mark and Natasha would kiss and make up.
    They always do.
    You hate me because you cant do anything to get to me.
    Good luck losers.
    Hate all you want.

    Re: orchidgirl – Loser.Re: The REAL Orchidgirl! – Even bigger loser. Both of you need serious meds. You are both mentally ill and take this message board too seriously. Get a life and get some help. It's really pathetic now. "Waaaaaa-waaaaaa………". That's what you sound like. The real OG, you need a life. Why the fuck do you care about people on here? Are so lonely and pathetic that you have to harrass people you don't even know? That is sooooooo sad. You area sad, pathetic freak in need of anti psychotic drugs. Get a life and stop stalking people. It's creepy and it screams sad and lonely loser. Get help.

  92. 192

    Go Ashton!



  93. 193

    i read every single letter he wrote and i have to say, i completely agree with the guy. i'd be just as pissed in their position, but pissed aside- they're sharing their feelings and beliefs. fuck a tabloid that puts stories together based on what some executive says the stars believe- the stars are standing up for themselves and speaking their own truths and dear lord, not only do i respect it, i've been waiting a helluva long time for it. bring on the honesty! NOT FROM THE TABLOIDS, but from the stars we adore themselves.

    HEAVEN FORBID they wake up on the wrong side of the bed to an ear full of superficial banging from their neighbors and actually speak on it, instead of through their PRs and managers.

    mistake or not, ashton and demi… i give you and your family TWO thumbs up! KEEP THE HONESTY COMING! FROM YOU AND NOT THE MONEY HUNGRY MEDIA! AMEN!



  94. 194

    Who cares.If he does not want attention or to be taken out of context why is he attention seeking by even wasting his time on Twitter.. has he nothing better to do.?



  95. 195

    Kelso needs to STFU



  96. 196

    What an articulate, classy man! He writes very eloquently and makes very good points. Unfortunately, many of you who have responded to his blog can only think of profanity to get your point across. Hmmm. I wonder who's more intelligent?



  97. 197

    Re: canadianbitch

    Slow day.. not when you have posted about 12 long winded sagas.Are you Ashton's.PR agent? .Did you write his long worded blog on Twitter for him.?

    Perez is a vile self promoting nobody much I agree with you there - but note how one and all come here to read the repulsive bitchiness he slings around as if he is important



  98. 198

    Hate on Demi all you want
    but truth be told…
    Its ALL outta jealousy!
    Cuz there is not a woman
    alive that is as hot as
    she is. she dedicated to her
    family and straight up a cool ass chick.
    she is a graet actress. Ive always
    loved all her work. Ashton is funny as hell too.
    And they are good parents , well amazing parents,
    which Im sure thats hard to do in Hollywood
    these days. GIVE THEM SOME CREDIT.

    There are so many parents out there
    effin up thier kids for life and that are
    on drugs and alcohol and seeking only to please themselves
    and ashton K & Demi M are totally devoted
    to thier kids and each other and it SHOWS!



  99. 199

    WOW, this guy is so annoying! ( that speech is way too long- is he the new Kanye West! Oh, no, wait, the new Martin Louis King, 3rd!). Jeeeeeeez!



  100. 200

    Re: Mistress – Hello, my dear Mistress! A big hug and kiss to you and your loved ones. Love you!!!
