What Happens in Vegas Press Conference
What’s next for you?
Ashton Kutcher: “I have a couple of movies. A movie called Personal Effects that I did with Michelle Pfeiffer and Kathy Bates. It’s a dark film about two people that find solace in each other in the steps of the courtroom, courthouse.”
Another legal drama?
Ashton Kutcher: “That’s how I do it. I like to roll with the players. And then I have a film that I finished that will come out after that called Spread, about a guy, kind of a climber who sleeps with wealthy women for their money. And then after that I have a couple of TV shows that are going to be coming out that I am producing, which I can’t actually announce yet because it hasn’t been officially announced. That’s it for now; I’ll find something to do.”
With your new show, every time a new item breaks with a celeb, everyone is questioning it now.
Ashton Kutcher: “That’s why I did the show.”
Can you talk about that?
Ashton Kutcher: “Yeah, my whole desire to do the show was that I felt a lot of the tabloid magazines and shows were just making stuff up for their own commercial gain. They would put headlines that had question marks behind them because they didn’t know whether or not it was true, but then report it as if it was news. And I felt that sort of false journalism that is predicated on questions as opposed to answers, was really nothing more than a soap opera that was being played out by the magazines for commercial success and commercial gain. So I figured that I couldn’t beat it, right, because they call themselves press, and stand behind the amendment of freedom of the press and say that what they are actually doing is proper journalism. And so I figured if you can’t beat them, throw a wrench in their works. The show is designed to create the question as to the validity of the stories, because a lot of this stuff isn’t true. And it has succeeded in doing that.”
