Ashton Kutcher, has a terrifically entertaining cover on VMan (spring/summer 2008)—to illustrate the line “ASHTON GETS REAL,” he poses on and in the mag as a robot.

“I’M NOT REAL” is shot by Mario Testino.

The concept was Ashton’s:

“I had a vision one day. I was watching one of those Gatorade commercials where they had a guy on a treadmill, and they’re testing to see what his physical abilities are. I had this idea: what did the creator—God or whatever—make you for? Maybe we’re all doing exactly what we’re supposed to be dong, and we’re all actually robots.”

Kutcher also discusses his (former) playboy status:

“I had a serial-dating period. I was pretty abusive of my attributes for a while…My fame and my looks. I was pretty abusive to a lot of people. This movie [Spread] is kind of my way to say I’m sorry to a lot of girls I may have hurt by being disrespectful.”

He co-stars with Michelle Pfeiffer in Personal Effects, a “heavyweight drama.” Asked about romancing an older woman in life and for the part, he says:

“I don’t think I’ve ever romanced an older woman. I’ve romanced a woman…If I had stepped back as myself and said, ‘You’re going to work today to make love to Michelle Pfeiffer,’ that would freak me the fuck out. I would have been like, ‘Holy shit!’ I would have had a really awkward time doing that. So I just approached it from within the character’s world—just one character seeking comfort from another character, a compartmentalized existence that wasn’t my own.”

As for his life with Demi, he denies they’ve left Kabbalah and paints their own existences as ideal:

“My life is so far from domesticated. That is not a good definition of me at all. Demi and I play around the world, and that is awesome. I was just on the phone with my agent and he said to me, ‘I don’t know many people who have it as good as you have it.’ And I don’t know anyone who has it as good as I have it. I have a great spiritual foundation, an amazing career, a loving, supportive wife and family, I have a lot of friends, and I don’t have any enemies. I don’t know a lot of people who have what I have.”

Ashton Kutcher is teaming up with supermodel-turned-talk show host Tyra Banks for a new reality program about beautiful people living together. Kutcher and Banks, who have reality TV experience with Punk’d and America’s Next Top Model respectively, are developing the untitled show with U.S. network ABC.

Eight episodes of the program have so far been ordered, although television bosses are keeping the show’s exact nature a closely-guarded secret.

Talk about interesting combinations!

A major health scare surrounding Ashton Kutcher’s 30th birthday party has A-list celebrities running scared - and being told they must be tested for hepatitis.

A waitress at the Feb. 7 party at New York club Socialista tested positive for hepatitis A, a source at the New York Board of Health confirms to Star.

“A report will go out tomorrow that everyone who was at the club at Feb. 7, 8 and 11 will need to be tested,” says the source. Madonna, Kate Hudson, Bruce Willis, Lucy Liu, Liv Tyler, Gwyneth Paltrow, Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart celebrated with Ashton and his wife Demi Moore.

Other guests included Salma Hayek and her husband, Lake Bell, Molly Sims, Amy Smart, Ivanka Trump, Parker Posey, Ali Larter, stylist Rachel Zoe, and designer Roberto Cavalli.

A health screening has been set for clubgoers on Friday.

Ashton’s rep Ruth Bernstein tells Star, “This is news to me. I’m going to look into it and get back to you.”

Along with Madonna, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are two of Kabbalah’s most famous followers.

But insiders are saying the couple may be putting the religion behind them. “Ashton and Demi used to have an impeccable attendance record,” a source close to the Kabbalah Centre in LA tells MSNBC.

But it’s apparently been “months” since the couple has attended services or joined in the Shabbat dinner after Friday services. Ashton was also spotted last week without his trademark red Kabbalah string bracelet.

Some insiders speculate that Ashton was “tired of being dragged there on Friday nights.” The source at the Centre worries, “It’s just odd. Something must be up.”
