Ashton Kutcher in Twitter war with Village Voice

Ashton Kutcher in Twitter war with Village Voice

Ashton Kutcher's seven million-plus followers no doubt have been keeping an eye on their Twitter feeds today as the actor seems to have found himself in the midst of a Twitter war.

The 33-year-old actor fired off a series of statements in regards to a Village Voice article about his “Real Men Don’t Buy Girls” campaign, which claims that Kutcher doesn’t have his facts straight about how many minors are sold into sex trafficking. (It's an issue that Kutcher and wife Demi Moore address with their foundation DNA, and have also spoken about on "Piers Morgan Tonight.")

Kutcher tweeted last night, “Hey @villagevoice speaking of data, maybe you can help me... How much $ did your ‘escorts’ in you classifieds on backpage make last year?” and “How many of your girls selling themselves in your classifieds are you doing age verification on?”

The Throwback: Happy (belated) Smurfday!

Last Saturday, June 25 was Global Smurfs Day. On what also would have been the 83rd birthday of Belgian artist Peyo - creator of the Smurfs - Sony arranged the event as promotion for Sony Pictures' upcoming film, "The Smurfs."

The goal for Global Smurfs Day was to set a Guinness record in the category of "Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Smurfs within a 24-hour period in Multiple Venues."

Hang on, I have to attend a "Largest Gathering of CNN Employees Carrying Longchamp Tote Bags While Standing in the Same Cubicle" event...

'Transformers 3': $37.3 million on opening day

“Transformers: Dark of the Moon” didn’t quite impress critics but it’s doubtful director Michael Bay’s crying over that.

The third installment of the “Transformers” franchise has brought in the best opening day gross in 2011, according to the Los Angeles Times, with a gross of $37.3 million from Wednesday's showings. It's playing well in 3-D theaters, which contributed to about 60 percent of sales.

If you add in the $5.5 million from Tuesday night showings, the total comes to $42.8 million.

Countess LuAnn's music video makes 'Ridiculist'

“Real Housewives of New York City's” Countess LuAnn de Lesseps’ latest single “Chic C’est La Vie” is getting plenty of attention, but perhaps for all the wrong reasons.

The reality TV star turned, um, singer has followed up her track “Money Can’t Buy You Class” with an ode to the glamorous life.

In a music video featuring her cast mates Jill Zarin and Kelly Bensimon, the Countess sings (if one could call it that), “Gold, diamonds, caviar, life is but a dream, when every day you’re living in is featured on TV.”

Gwyneth Paltrow joins 'Glee' on stage in London

Gwyneth Paltrow joins 'Glee' on stage in London

As promised, Gwyneth Paltrow popped up at the "Glee Live!" show at the summer tour's London stop on Wednesday. Lea Michele, who plays Rachel Berry on the show, tweeted earlier that the night's event was "going to be a special one" before she revealed that Paltrow was the surprise.

The 38-year-old had a breakout role on the Fox series as the substitute teacher Holly Holiday, and she joined the "Glee" crew at the O2 arena for another rendition of Cee Lo's "Forget You," as she previously did in New Jersey. According to the Daily Mail, Santana, as played by Naya Rivera, was in the middle of telling the "Glee" crew that she'd been named the sexiest glee club member when Paltrow strolled on stage and challenged her to a sing-off.

Paltrow, who recently joined Twitter, also had a few young ones in tow. "Just took four 7 year olds to glee live london. somebody pass me something vaguely hallucinogenic," she tweeted.

Hopefully they enjoyed her performance as much as this fan, who told the actress/singer on Twitter, "you were SO AMAZING tonight, thank you soooo much!! You have made my life!!!"

Smooches all around on 'SYTYCD'

Smooches all around on 'SYTYCD'

You could feel the love in the room on Wednesday night's "So You Think You Can Dance," so much so that the judges started making out with each other.

Power couple Melanie and Marko's "NappyTabs" routine, which included a kiss halfway through, moved Nigel Lythgoe to (stage) kiss Mary Murphy (causing Cat Deeley to react by saying that it was like watching your parents kiss). Next thing you know, guest judge Kristin Chenoweth was kissing Lil' C, and Nigel was kissing him too.

You can't really blame them, because the hip-hop routine was absolutely flawless. I'd place it up there in the "NappyTabs" pantheon with "No Air" and "Bleeding Love." We'll be seeing that one again during the finale.
