Twittering fiends Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are just SHOCKED and APPALLED that there might be a reality show about Twitter:
Ashton Kutcher and his wife, Demi Moore, who have more than 3 million Twitter followers between them, have posted Tweets to the effect that a TV show based on Twitter would equate a sellout on the Web site’s part.
“It’s all fun and games until somebody gets stalked,” Kutcher posted Monday on Twitter. “I really don’t like being sold out. May have to take a Twitter hiatus.”
Moore followed suit with a post that read, “Hope this isn’t true — if it is our Twitter time may come to a quick and sad end!”
But a few facts were omitted from the MSN article about the jackhole who is so nervous about stalkers.
Ashton has updated his profile 33 more times since Monday — including streaming video of the set where he is currently filming his next project — for a total of 2,240 tweets since he joined the site. He instigated a Twitter battle with CNN to see who could get to a million followers first. (He won.) He’s even posted Twitpics of his wife’s behind.
And after all that he is suddenly concerned about his Twitter privacy?
(A curtsy to Angry Army Wife for the tip!)

News flash to Ashton, you joining twitter is twitter selling out.
I thought this article was hypocracy in itself. note to Ashton and Demi – if you do not want people looking at your private life, then quit writing about it and showing pictures of it. Some of us are not that interested in it.
I’ve never understood this highschool mentality of documenting your minute-by-minute activities online, via Twitter, Facebook, et cetera….Oh, wait, I’ve written this already, haven’t I?
But truly, I don’t. I imagine that people wouldn’t normally create a website for the purpose of advertising, say, all their past relationships, so why use Facebook (and to a much lesser extent, Twitter, which seems more like online gossip) to do the same?
As promotional tools, I understand how Facebook, Twitter, and mySpace are useful. But why advertise such mundane and domestic details as “I’m happy today”, “Feeding the goldfish”, “Thinking about what to eat for lunch”, “Examining my hemmroids”, “Breaking up with my boyfriend”, “Performing fellatio on my new boyfriend”, et cetera, et cetera? It seems too much like an attempt at self-validation, to convince yourself that what you’re doing is somehow even more “special” / “important” / “significant” / “deeping traumatizing” / “(take your pick)” because you’re letting everyone else know. Yes…you are so important because you have so much to tell everyone else, when actually no one gives a shit about your badly written, one-liner, online memoirs.
Um..and we’re *supposed* to care if they quit tweeting?
I don’t use Twitter…got too much other crapola to keep up with, don’t need one more. And I sure as heck don’t need to know what someone is doing every few minutes of every day.
How about the fact that Ashton really got famous from Punk’d, which is some type of reality show, though definitely not a ‘real’ one.
Twitter is opt-in spam. Nothing more, nothing less, and definitely nothing original.
um. is that all these people do is twitter?? remember when they had careers?
I have to say that I love having Facebook. It has allowed me to reconnect with old high school and college friends that I have not seen in quite a while. I tried Twitter, but I just cannot document my every moment on there.
I remember when Demi had a career – “St. Elmo’s Fire”, “A Few Good Men”, “Ghost” and it seemed she has dumbed herself down by marrying Ashton. Try being a better role model for your daughters Demi.
My philosophy is you are a twit if you use twitter.
I dunno, maybe I’m going against the general opinion here but I sort of get where Ashton is coming from. Twitter lets you stalk yourself (by posting intimate things a million times a day, if you so choose), but you’re in control of what and when you post. A real life human being stalking you takes away that control. So i get his privacy concerns- it’s one thing to expose yourself, it’s another to have somebody else doing it.
However, I still think the entire concept of Twitter is mostly stupid.
“News flash to Ashton, you joining twitter is twitter selling out.”
Absolutely.
I think Ashton decided he was being sold out when he found out someone else may make money from his stupidity. After all he is the only one that gets to do that…..right Mo, I mean Demi….
By posting his personal life in the internet , he is giving the stalker the tools to stalk him,
Who would watch a TV show about tweeting? Isn’t that like watching paint dry? Or an Ashton Kutcher movie?
How recent is that picture? Is it just me or does Demi get younger, and better looking every day? All she has to do is get rid of that ugly growth on her right and I’d slip right in. Where’d it get that suit? Bacharach at Golf Mill Mall?
Pasta, I believe it’s a year old. I will award $10 to anyone who can seize the portrait of Dorian Gray she obviously has hiding in her basement.
I’ve decided that my problem isn’t with the people Twittering, it’s with the people following it.
Boy needs a haircut, and he needs to be employ’d in some useful trade. Other than being a rentboy, I mean.
I was thinking the same thing about Demi, Pasta. It’s going to be like Benjamin Button but with Demi getting younger while Ashton gets older. I’m kind of looking forward to it.
I think she drinks his blood. That would explain why his Twitter posts and his personality (hee) are so vapid and why he’s starting to look more age-appropriate for her.
Hrmm…could it be that Ashton (a “reality show” producer) is miffed because he didn’t come up with the idea first?
Holly, I don’t think Demi’s got a Dorian Gray portrait so much as a captive plastic surgeon in her basement.
No need for a magical portrait when you’ve Rumer sucking all the ugly from the room.
Heh. I’ve got a timeshare on the left side of Rumer’s massive chin. It’s beautiful this time of year.
I’m with you QB, this is kind of like how upcoming or aging female celebs bare their “everythings” in Playboy for the entire universe to ogle to get some career attention, and then get all surprised when creeposauruses stalk them to get more of a look at what they saw in the magazine. If ya don’t want people looking and stalking, don’t show it. Simple.
And I agree with you Math Major. Oops! X-D
