Ashton Kutcher - “Details” May 2008

Labels:

Ashton Kutcher talks about being Mr. Demi Moore and what it takes to be a good stepfather in the May 2008 issue of Details, on newsstands nationwide next week.

The mag describes Ashton as “tall, slender, and athletic. His feet are notably small, his fingers are long, and the backs of his hands are pink.” How small are his feet?????

Here are some choice quotes from the mega-producer’s interview:

On using shapes to describe his life: “You’ve got a square inside of a circle. So my whole life is this circle. Maybe my life started out inside this circle and I couldn’t see outside. But I just kept putting stuff in the circle and the circle gets bigger and bigger so that it can hold all this stuff.” (Um, what?!)

On his religious preference: “I’ll use whatever works. I’m not a follower of this or that religious leader. More wars are started because of religious leaders, and people are following and they don’t know why….That is religiosity. That is what turns people into robots.” (During the interview, he gives a 20-minute discourse on practicing Kabbalah.)

On wife Demi Moore: “She was the first person who would call me on my s—. She didn’t need me. She straight up didn’t need me. She wanted me, but she didn’t need me, so she could put it on the line.” (How sweet of Demi!)

On how he ended his interview with Details: “She says she’s tired of sharing me. I have to go home now.” (Whipped!!)

World biggest barbeque in Uruguay: 12 tons of beef grilled

Labels:


People gather around Uruguayan cooks who barbecue meat in an attempt to break a record for the world's largest barbecue in Montevideo, April 13, 2008.
A meats association in Uruguay on Sunday hosted the world's biggest barbeque on a single grill totalling 1,500 meters in length, media reported.

As many as 1,252 volunteer cooks grilled 12 metric tonnes of beef and about 20,000 spectators cried with joy when a Guinness judge confirmed the barbecue record had been broken.

"I'm very proud to be Uruguayan. We have the best beef and now we have the world's biggest barbecue," said one of the cooks.

The organizer said the gargantuan cookout is held to promote the country's image as a major cattle producer.

"Uruguay is very small, it's not known for other events so we have to use these kinds of gimmicks so people find out where Uruguay is and what it has to offer," said Fernando Perez Abella, vice president of the National Meats Institute, or INAC in Spanish.

It’s been a whirlwind for J, 18, since winning American Idol. She had to be persistent, however, as she initially turned down by Idol!

“I went to audition in LA, because it was the closest audition city to Arizona. You have to go through a couple auditions before you get to Randy, Paula and Simon, but I didn’t even make it past the first audition in LA! I was told that I was really good and they really liked me, but something was missing. I went back home and did this thing called Arizona Idol, and as a prize I won a trip to the next nearest audition city, and that happened to be Seattle. This time I made it past the other rounds and finally got to the judges. The rest is history!”, said Jordin.
