The East Hampton Tweet scene was buzzing with star wattage last weekend when Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, and other A-list types headed to Long Island’s East End to celebrate the premiere of Kutcher’s new indie drama Spread—not to mention document every second of the festivities. Creating a fuss on Main Street, the Gotham-magazine-sponsored premiere drew hordes of paparazzi, screaming fans, and curious locals vying for Twitpics of @aplusk and @mrskutcher, who arrived hand in hand on the red carpet.
A far cry from Dude, Where’s My Car?, the movie is one part Shampoo (Kutcher conferred with Warren Beatty, the king of Los Angeles Lotharios, for advice) and one part Entourage. Kutcher stars as Nikki, a freeloader who uses his looks to seduce rich, hot older women (Anne Heche plays one of them) for their spoils. Sound familiar?
“People are going to say what they’re going to say, I don’t have any control over that,” Kutcher reflected. “I’ve actually managed to create a life that allows me to stay grounded spiritually and within my relationships.” But he hasn’t entirely shed his former Punk’d self: “I still like going out to the club!”
Indeed, post-premiere, Kutcher and his posse headed to Lily Pond with other Tinseltowners including Josh Lucas, Spread ingénue Margarita Levieva, and Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester, who, before jetting to the West Coast for the Teen Choice Awards, came out to support her boyfriend and Spread co-star, Sebastian Stan. Also in the crowd: Niche Media founder Jason Binn and Hampton veterans Russell Simmons and Donna Karan, who cut a rug on the dance floor to Michael Jackson hits spun by D.J. NVM. At one point in the evening, Moore took to her camera phone to take Twitpics of Kutcher with the cast of the CW’s The Beautiful Life, a Kutcher-produced show that’s loosely based on his days as a male model. It’s set to air this fall.
So how does the King of Twitter feel about Ellen DeGeneres approaching him in “follow” rankings? “I just hope Ellen and everybody else uses it as a positive resource to unify and bring people together, because that can make a difference in the world.” Fair enough. Here’s a rundown of the night courtesy of the Kutchers:
