Could it be that Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are breaking up?  The tabloids
are alive with stories of Ashton cheating on his wife now they are working on
two separate coasts. The pair also spent their sixth wedding anniversary,
September 24th, apart. Kutcher partied in San Diego with his former That '70s
Show costar Danny Masterson. They hit a number of clubs and now a 23 year old
has come forward saying she had a fling over the weekend with the "Two and A
Half Men ster. Moore, 48, has been in New York City to promote the short film
she directed as part of Lifetime's TV anthology, Five. The actress attended the
premiere along with Jennifer Aniston, who also directed a short, on Monday
night.  Plus, Mr. Tweeting all the time, didn't even tweet any sort of message
on his wedding anniversary. The couple, who began dating in 2003 and married in
2005, have not responded to the allegations.

And in more Ashton news,

During the second episode of Two and a Half Men, Kutcher's  
billionaire-Internet-entrepreneur character is lounging on the couch with his
laptop, which happens to be plastered with stickers for a number of
social-networking and media websites like Foursquare, Flipboard and GroupMe.
While you would innocently believe that his character Walden would be into those
sites, the real life Ashton Kutcher acutally has financial stakes in all those
companies and CBSdid not receive any compensation for providing the placement
ad.  As a result when the episode goes into repeats, the stickers will be
blurred out.


TRIAL

The jury was shown a video of Dr. Conrad Murray anxiously pacing around the
waiting room at UCLA Medical Center after Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009.
Prosecutors claim the tape shows Murray leaving the hospital around 4:36pm that
day, two hours after MJ was pronounced dead.

Taking the stand were:

Michael Jackson's head of security, Faheem Muhammad, who claims Prince and Paris
witnessed Conrad Murray desperately trying to resuscitate their father the
morning he died, and had to be removed from the scene.

Muhammad testified Paris was  "on the ground, balled up crying," and Prince "was
shocked and slowly crying."

Muhammad claims Jackson appeared to be dead when he arrived at the scene -- and
when he noticed Prince and Paris in the doorway, he took them downstairs.

Muhammad says that's when he heard Murray asking if anyone knew CPR -- and his
fellow bodyguard Alberto Alvarez rushed to help.

Muhammad also claimed MJ visited Dr. Arnold Klein's office several times a week
and often came out "a bit tipsy."

Michael Jackson's personal assistant Michael Amir Williams took the stand and
played a panicked voicemail Dr. Conrad Murray left on Williams' phone the day
MJ died.

Williams said MJ was in good spirits on the evening of June 24, 2009... his last
rehearsal. He said the rehearsal was "amazing."

The following day, Williams received a panicked message from Murray at 12:13 pm
saying, "call me right away."  When he called back, Murray told him MJ had a
"bad reaction" ... and to "get somebody here immediately."

When he got there, he saw MJ being brought out in a gurney and a "frantic" Murray

Williams said after he learned of Michael's death, Murray came up to him and
said there was "some cream Michael wouldn't want the world to know about."
Murray asked him to drive him to the home so he could retrieve the "cream."

After checking with MJ's head of security, Faheem Muhammad, the two decided not
to let Murray back into the house...

Williams said it was "normal" to have oxygen tanks in MJ's house.

*AEG attorney Kathy Jorrie aldo took the stand Wednesday describing the contract
she drafted between AEG, Dr. Murray, and Michael Jackson.

According to Jorrie, Murray had a laundry list of demands -- including $150,000
a month, even while "This Is It" was on hiatus.

Jorrie testified, Murray also demanded a CPR machine for MJ while he performed
in London.

Jorrie claimed, when she asked Murray why he would need a CPR machine... Murray
responded, he didn't want to take chances with MJ's age and the strenuous nature
of the show.

Jorrie says she spoke to Murray on June 24th. Murray told her he had seen
Michael perform and that he was in "perfect health." This was a day before he
died.
