Ashton Kutcher is standing up for Michael Phelps after photos surfaced of the Olympian smoking marijuana.

“God forbid he hit a bong,” Kutcher Twittered about the incident on Monday. “Go ask your 20-year-old kid what they did last weekend.

“I’m not saying it was a smart move. But he doesn’t need to be publicly outed for it,” Kutcher went on.

See the photo here!

The photo wound up in a British tabloid Sunday. Kutcher said, “Whoever put the pic out is an a**!”

Of Phelps – who was arrested for DUI in 2004 – Kutcher wrote: “He’s a good kid.”

While Kutcher said he hasn’t smoked pot “in quite some time … I’m not immune to a lapse in good judgment from time to time.”

On Sunday, Phelps released a statement, apologizing for his “regrettable” behavior. The photo was taken during a November house party while Phelps was visiting the University of South Carolina.

“I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me,” he said. “For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”

It remains to be seen whether the scandal will cost Phelps his slew of lucrative endorsement deals.

Luxury Swiss watchmaker Omega called Phelps’ actions a private matter and a “non-issue,” while Speedo said Phelps still remains a “valued member of the Speedo team.”

Ashton Kutcher grabs coffee in Park City. Kutcher was in town doing promotional interviews for his film, Spread, in Sundance.

Set in modern day Los Angeles, Spread is a hard biting story about a high-end lethario, Nikki (Ashton Kutcher), who has slept his way into a life of privilege. He shares his secrets with us as he hosts parties and beds scores of women, all while living it up at the Hollywood Hills home of a middle-aged female attorney, Samantha (Anne Heche). Everything is going swimmingly until Nikki meets a gorgeous waitress named Heather (Margarita Levieva), who, unbeknownst to him, is playing the same game that he is. As the truth of their life unravels, they find themselves sexually charged by a game of one-upsmanship that has them dining at fine restaurants and crashing posh parties, until the truth of their lives forces them to choose between love and money. Inspired by classics like Shampoo, Breakfast at Tiffanys, and America Gigolo, Spread profiles a sexual grifter and his prey.

Los Angeles serves as a character unto its own in this film, providing slick and luxurious backdrops during Nikkis high times, and seedy, fleabag motels when Nikki has nowhere else to turn. Nikki runs the gambit of Hollywood dreams and nightmares. The supporting cast is comprised of gorgeous women like Emily (Rachel Blanchard), who is drawn in by Nikkis good looks and charm but is left feeling cold and used. Nikkis best friend, Harry (Sebastian Stan), struggles with their co-dependant relationship, always needing to bail Nikki out when he runs out of women to depend on.

Directed by David Mackenzie (Hallam Foe, Young Adam), Spread is an iconic look at the lure of sex, money, and access that Hollywood offers to the beautiful people, and the karmic price that Nikki must ultimately pay to live that lifestyle.

Nothing weird about that?

Ashton Kutcher can’t stop raving about his new gig as assistant coach for the freshman football team at L.A.’s Harvard-Westlake School.

“I’m pleased to report that my Harvard Westlake football team is 4-2,” he writes on his MySpace Celebrity page. “I am blessed to step on the gridiron every week with a great group of individuals that understand that the collective force is greater that any individual can ever be.”

The 30-year-old actor — who played football at his high school in Iowa — says he was apprehensive at first.

“I was afraid of the time commitment,” he writes. “I was afraid that I would look stupid. I was afraid that the players wouldn’t listen to my football advice. I was afraid that the advice that I gave wouldn’t be very good.”

Adds Kutcher, “I’ve have many situations in my life where I’ve had an opportunity to extend myself and walked away for many of those reasons. And though coaching a football team is no great step for mankind, I’m finding that it’s a great step for me…

“I’m not there to teach them,” he says. “They are there to teach me.”

Rumer Willis used to have posters of her stepdad Ashton Kutcher on her wall.

The 20-year-old budding actress – the daughter of Demi Moore and her ex-husband Bruce Willis – found it difficult to comprehend that her mother was dating the ‘Punk’d’ star, who is 15 years Demi’s junior.

She said: “It was strange when mom started seeing Ashton in 2003. I was 15 and he was a real heartthrob – I had pictures of him on my wall! I remember mom saying her new ‘friend’ was going to hang out with us. I said, ‘What’s his name?’ And she goes, ‘Ashton.’

“And I said, ‘Whoa – Ashton Kutcher?’ I freaked out a bit and blushed. When he came round, though, it wasn’t awkward. I realized I’d never seen my mother happier. It was like watching two 16-year-olds going to the prom!”

Rumer soon learned to cope with her mother’s new romance, and was thrilled when Demi and Ashton tied the knot in September 2005.

She added to Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine: “Ashton is like a father figure, in that I respect him and ask him for advice. But he is also someone I can relate to. I see him more as an older brother or uncle.

“Recently I wanted to have my braces removed and Ashton said, ‘I’ll make you a deal. You can get them of if you work for my dad at his construction company.’ So I did. He wanted me to realize you have to earn the things you want in life.”
