Demi Moore Pal: Ashton Kutcher "Would Like to Think" Crisis Is All About Him!

While the world listens with bated breath to the ridiculously frustrating 911 call and wonders about the whereabouts of Demi Moore's estranged husband Ashton Kutcher (not to mention Demi's three lovely daughters), let's face it, pretty much everyone's assuming this whole midlife debacle is all about Ashton.

Well, according to a friend who's known Demi for a very long time, Ashton—and everybody else—can think again on that score:

"This is not just about Ashton," insists a close Moore pal who's known Demi during many points in her life, i.e., both when she's been clean and sober—and when she wasn't (mainly when she was much younger). "I'm sure Ashton would like to think it's all about him."

"What [Demi's] going through now is not just things not working out with Ashton," the longtime Hollywood colleague and friend says about Moore and her estranged hubby. "It's really more about the toll it takes on any ambitious woman in this town."

Meaning what, exactly?

"Meaning constantly having to prove you're not just a pretty face but a talented actor, as well. Constantly having to prove you're a good mother, not just a celebutante around town who goes to parties instead of looking after her family. Having to stay sober in a town that's so not.

"Demi's had a fight in her for many years, before Ashton ever came along."

So, did Demi's romance with her much-younger husband help or hinder Moore, ultimately?

"Oh, help, very much so," insisted the super-close Moore pal. "She loved him, and he her! Don't forget that. But this was before…trouble began."

Yeah, guess rumored hot-tub episodes with nubile blondes and the endless guessing game of whether or not you're wearing your wedding ring would suffice as trouble.

Especially after you've been knee-deep in it for ages—or so some of Demi's pals would have you think.

What about it, Awful readers, shouldn't Demi get a break from having to work so hard to have it all for all those years? Or not?

Just remember whatever you think, this recent episode in the 49-year-old beauty's life is not just about a man. That I certainly agree with.

Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder Sing Tributes at Legend Etta James' Funeral

Christina Aguilera paid her respects to the late blues, jazz and rock legend Etta James at her funeral Saturday at Greater Bethany Community Church in Gardena, Calif., belting out her rendition of the singer's classic tune "At Last."

The Voice judge praised Etta, introducing her tribute by saying: "She was the one that cut right through my soul. So tonight, Etta, this song is for you."

Joining Aguilera at the funeral were hundreds of family, friends, and fans—including Stevie Wonder, who also sang at the service. There was also a message read from President Barack Obama, who shared his inaugural ball dance with First Lady Michelle Obama to James' "At Last."

Rev. Al Sharpton shared Obama's statement, which read in part: "Etta will be remembered for her legendary voice and her contributions to our nation's musical heritage."

The Grammy-winning singer died on January 20th after battling leukemia, and is survived by her husband of 42 years, Artis Mills and their two sons, Donto and Sametto James.

Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana Steam Up Sundance at The Words Premiere!

On-screen and rumored off-screen couple Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana hit the red carpet for the premiere of their thriller flick, The Words, Friday.

So, did the sexiest man alive and his lady love finally heat things up in public at Sundance? 

Not at all.

But the duo did dish on what they were doing in Park City, Utah, leading up to their big night at the film festival (separately, of course).

And Saldana, who is slated to present at the SAG awards Sunday, made sure to get plenty of rest.  

"I completely relaxed," the Avatar star, who looked dashing in Alexander McQueen, told E! News. "I have to go back to work Monday so I came here...and even though I came for the amazing celebration of selling ‘The Words' here at Sundance, I still have to rest to go back to work."

And while the starlet stayed mum on what she'll don for the SAG awards, she did let us in on how she gets red-carpet ready. 

 

"I leave it to my stylist," Saldana went on. "She picks out the outfits and I just blindly put them on. So I think she's working diligently on finding the best outfit for Sunday."

Cooper, who sported a blazer and thick gray scarf for the occasion (and some very gnarly facial hair) was in the mood for action prior to the premiere, opting for the slopes rather than days of relaxation.

"I skied for the first time three weeks ago and I went up to Deer Valley and skied and I loved it. I didn't fall yet. I fell the first time but not this time," Cooper said.

But, seriously, what's up with Cooper's thick 'stache?

"This is for a role," Cooper said with a chuckle. "I could lie, but it's for this movie called Serena with Jen Lawrence in a couple of weeks."

 

And speaking of roles, Cooper said he was very excited to be in The Words, mainly because it is a film that his friends developed.

"I'm so happy for this movie," Cooper went on. "My friends Lee [Sternthal] and Brian [Klugman] created it and directed it…That I could be a part of it is awesome. It's the reason why you do this stuff in the first place. So I'm very excited."

When it came to discussing his experience working with Saldana on the flick, though, Cooper played coy, simply saying, "It was great. The whole cast was incredible."

The thriller flick, which scored bragging rights when it became the first major sale of Sundance last Sunday, tells the story of a young author who plagiarizes from a forgotten manuscript and later pays the price.

10 Things You Gotta Know About Tonight's SAG Awards

The 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards are—wait for it no more—tonight!

We'll be all over the red carpet (starting at 6 p.m. ET/3 PT), so consider that the first thing you have to know about the latest stop in the awards-season tour.

As an added bonus, here are 10 more amazing facts about tonight's surprisingly influential awards gala:

GET THE LIST: All the SAG noms, all the time

1. George Clooney Is (Probably) Going to Win: We couldn't find any oddsmakers issuing odds on the SAGs, but if you operate under the assumption that the SAGs are the Oscars, and vice versa, then Clooney, the concensus favorite of professional handicappers for the Best Actor Academy Award, should be viewed as the SAG favorite, as well.

2. Meryl Streep Is (Possibly) Not Going to Win: The Oscar odds for Best Actress are tighter than they are for Best Actor. One Vegas sports book has the race between Streep and The Help's Viola Davis as a dead even heat. The bottom line for the SAG Awards? No one, not even Streep, is going to be surprised if Davis takes the Actor.

3. Octavia Spencer and Christopher Plummer Are (Definitely) Going to Win: Are the supporting-acting categories still in contention? Officially, yes. Unofficially, no. 

4. The Best Picture Race Is Going to Be Clear as Mud: Let's say The Artist or The Descendants wins the SAG ensemble award, which is the closest thing to a Best Picture tonight. What does that mean for the Oscars when Hugo, the top nominee going into next month's show, isn't even in contention tonight? Let's say The Help cleans up, as the pundits at Gold Derby predict, what does that mean for the Oscars when The Help is a hopeless Best Picture contender, having been shut out of the Best Director, screenplay and editing categories? The SAG Awards are usually a tad more clarifying.

5. Boardwalk Empire and Modern Family Are the TV Shows to Beat: That is, if last weekend's Producers Guild of America Awards are any indication. (And they are.)

6. The Harry Potter Revolution Will Not Be Televised: If you want to see the franchise compete for its first (and last) SAG nomination, then you're going to have to log onto the offical preshow webcast, offered via TNT.tv, TBS.com and People.com, at 6:15 p.m. ET/3:15 p.m. PT. That's when the stunt winners are scheduled to be announced.

7. Lisbeth Salander Will Not Be Televised (or even Webcast): The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which pulled out a Best Actress Oscar nomination for Rooney Mara, is not up for anything on Sunday night, so stop trying to adjust your set: That really is Betty White up for all those awards.

8. Three Words: Mary. Tyler. Moore.: The beloved star, last seen feting White on the elder actress' prime-time birthday special, is set to receive the Guild's Lifetime Achievement Award. Dick Van Dyke, Moore's TV husband from The Dick Van Dyke Show, will present. (We trust Mr. Grant, Moore's office-husband from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, is OK with that.)

9. Brad Pitt and Dallas: Together Again! Well, sort of. The Moneyball nominee, who got his start looking fidgety and mullet-y on the 1980s soap, will serve as a presenter, as will J.R. Ewing's Larry Hagman, set to hype the upcoming Dallas reboot alongside Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy.

10. You Get a Do-Over: The two-hour show is scheduled to air live on TBS and TNT starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. If you miss it then, first, you should be ashamed, and, second, you should sit down because TNT will be reairing the whole shebang (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT).

Miley Cyrus Poses Provocatively With Penis...Cake

Miley Cyrus — in a David Koma dress and Jimmy Choo heels — strikes a cute pose with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth at the 2012 People’s Choice Awards.

Former Disney princess (and current 19-year-old) Miley Cyrus is on a mission to prove that she’s grown up and eager to put her Hannah Montana days behind her.

Case in point: Miley was recently spotted having fun (maybe a little too much fun) with a penis-shaped cake. The cake in question was intended for Miley’s beau Liam Hemsworth’s birthday celebration. But judging by these photos obtained by TMZ, it was Miley who was especially fond of the penis pastry.

The pictures show a playful Miley pretending to take a little nibble out of the dirty delicacy, and, in other photos, the "Party in the U.S.A.” songstress can be seen dancing on a banquet in a sexy black dress. We're guessing it's in celebration of Liam's birth, not the cake's unveiling.

Somewhere, Miley’s pop, Billy Ray Cyrus, is weeping, clutching his achy-breaky heart.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap of the Season 2 Finale: Pandora Vanderpump's Wedding!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Lisa Vanderpump held a wedding for her daughter, Pandora, on August 27, 2011. She married her college sweetheart Jason Sabo.

As the hours tick down, Lisa is getting a little nervous that the wedding prep will be done in time, especially since Kevin is nowhere to be seen. Finally, Kevin arrives, and what’s the first question Lisa asks him? She asks if he can do anything about the temperature on this exceptionally hot day. Uh, Kevin might be able to work wonders, but we think that controlling the weather might be expecting a lot of him.

It’s makeup time, and Lisa somehow does some type of magic trick where she makes the makeup artist turn into three people. (We just hope that Lisa isn’t in fact a mad scientist who’s dabbling in cloning, because if we learned anything from the film Jurassic Park, it’s that cloning doesn’t always turn out so well.)

Other shenanigans taking place at the Vanderpump manor in the run-up to the wedding? Ken — wearing lavender shorts (which we kinda wish he had worn to the wedding) — asks Lisa for help with his speech, and Lisa’s like, “Do your own dirty work, buddy.” (We hope Obama’s speechwriters are a little more helpful for this week’s State of the Union.)

And Lisa comments on her tiara in her typically hilarious fashion, in which she somehow compares it to wearing knickers on her head. And at this point we can't help but wonder, how is there not yet a YouTube video called “S#!t Real Housewives Say”?! We’re guessing it would get about a trillion views.

The rest of the ladies (minus Kim, Taylor, and Lisa’s new bestie Brandi, who are all M.I.A.) make their way over to the wedding by car — even Adrienne, who apparently wasn’t up for crossing the street by foot. Lisa tears up at the sight of Ken walking Pandora down the aisle, and Pandora indeed looks amazing. We wish we could say something about how the wedding officiant looked, but his face was distractingly blurred, as if he was in the witness protection program.

Ultimately, the wedding indeed has come together and looks fabulous, and everyone seems to be having a blast, as we even see Adrienne and Paul dancing up a storm. Lisa and Ken both give lovely speeches, and watching Ken dance with Pandora is a beautiful moment. We’re not exactly sure why everyone was holding sparklers at the end of the wedding (fire hazard alert!), but somehow it all worked.
