Ashton, Demi, and Diddy Visit CNN

Rounding out their week with an appearance on “Larry King Live,” Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs were spotted leaving CNN studios yesterday (April 17).

The “Punk’d” stud and his wife wore similar black jacket/blue jean combos, while Diddy kept it colorful with a pink striped sweater and pink/black sneakers.





Commenting on his landmark of getting over one million followers on Twitter during Friday’s “Oprah Winfrey Show,” Kutcher stated, “In some ways this is kind of a commentary on the state of media. I believe we are at a place now with social media where one person’s voice can be as powerful as a news network – an entire media network.”

Kutcher continued, “My life is somewhat on display anyway, and always not by choice. So instead ... I can publish pictures and videos of myself that have already been pre-approved and that I’m happy with.”

Rihanna: Gearing Up for Big Comeback

Continuing her frequent travels, Rihanna showed off her bright pink sneakers as she passed through LAX Airport this past week.

Since returning to Los Angeles, the “Umrella” singer has kept quite the active social life - as she went clubbing on Thursday night followed by an appearance at Britney Spears’ Circus show at Staples Center last night (April 17).




In related news, it’s being reported that Rihanna could soon be making her return to the stage, as she’s in talks to put on a show next month in Dubai.

“Rihanna will be performing on May 28,” Mary Rachelle Cherpak, a spokeswoman for Dubai Department of Tourism, told MTV News. “The tickets have not gone on sale, but will do so in the next two weeks.”

Describing what can be expected, Cherpack added that it will be “a concert for 25,000 audience members.”

Jay-Z’s Entourage: Dine and Dash?

We all know celebrities love to enjoy the fruits of their success with luxurious nights out. But during a recent evening at M2 in Chelsea, NYC, Jay-Z’s peeps left the bill unpaid.

Atlantic Records executive Michael Kyser and Universal Music Group’s Shawn Costner took the “99 Problems” rapper and his friends out for a swanky good time. And everything was going well until the bill came.




M2 manager Dan Develin told press, “The waitress has known him for five years, and he’s a good friend of Joey’s, so we ended up comping a lot of their bill. Kyser and Costner were making a big show of wanting to take Jay-Z out, so they started arguing over who got to pick up the check.”

But after Costner’s credit card was declined, Kyser agreed to pay the bill. “Before we could get him to sign the receipt, he left the club. Of course, we still have his card, so we called up his office, and his assistant told us someone would come by to sign. Weeks went by, and no one ever did. Finally, we got a call from AmEx and were told that Kyser was disputing the charge. When we called him up again, his assistant said, ‘Oh, Michael says he doesn’t actually remember being there’—which is crazy because we have his card and photos of him and Jay-Z.”

Rihanna Hits the Club

Getting a jumpstart on her weekend, Rihanna was spotted out and about in Hollywood, California last night (April 16) hitting up a club.

On May 28th she’ll perform a concert in Dubai, UAE. An event spokesperson told press, “There will be over 25,000 tickets available. They will be going on sale in the next couple of days.”

The “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” hotties have plenty of intimate moments on-screen, and Shia recently confessed that he has to have regular reality checks so that he doesn’t fall for his leading lady.




LaBeouf stated, “We have a relationship on-screen but off-screen we are just good friends. You have to create these boundaries and be as respectful as you can.

Shia added, “What’s hard for me is to go from a scene back to reality and then back to boundaries. It’s hard. It’s really hard.”

The “Gothika” actress also noted that she is done with marriage, saying, “No. I’m done. Also, I happened to find a person who feels done too, and he’s never even been married before. So it works.”

Whitney Houston: Suing Stepmom

In one of the more bizarre lawsuits to hit Hollywood in recent memory, Whitney Houston is suing her stepmother Barbara Houston for $1.6 million.

According to a report, the lawsuit stems back to the 2003 death of the “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” singer’s father, who left her a $1 million life insurance policy.





Barbara claimed that Whitney “improperly kept the proceeds from the policy,” and that she was entitled to the money in order to pay off her Fort Lee, New Jersey condo mortgage.

Unfortunately, Whitney (who holds the mortgage) never got the memo and is now suing Barbara for unpaid payments on the condo. All in all it’s just one big logistical nightmare.
