It’s been less than two weeks — ten days to be exact — but it seems that May-December Hollywood power couple Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have already broken the spirit of their “Presidential Pledge” to Barack Obama.
Last week Big Hollywood drew attention to a 4:13 video directed by Demi Moore and starring Kutcher and fifty-six of their famous friends and intended to “illustrate how they will help make the nationwide change, inspired by President-elect Barack Obama, a reality.”
One of the central tenets of the pledge is to be more neighborly.
From the script — “I pledge”:
Ioan Gruffudd: “to meet my neighbors”…
Rex Lee: “Find out their names”…
Cameron Diaz: “I am gonna give ’em a smile”…
Tatyana Ali: “And ask them how I can be of service to them”…
The smiling and community service-mindedness ended Thursday morning on the affluent side of Beverly Hills. According to TMZ, “Kutcher went absolutely insane when he was woken up by a neighbor who started construction on a house at 7:30 in the morning.”
Wearing his morning fedora, Kutcher chose to videotape and chronicle the inconvenience online.
Among Kutcher’s early morning Twitter offerings:
“this SOB owl feces cougar placenta jack bone dick!”“Jack ass 7am building a goddamn fort next to my house f’in up my view and noise polluting the entire f’in neighborhood with pounding steal”
“holy moly I’m gonna lose it!”
“this ass clown has another thing coming!”
“I’m gonna kill my neighbor”
Video seen here.
Screenwriter Bruce Goldsmith, the neighbor, told TMZ he found Kutcher “silly” and “out of line.”
Moore, 46, not to be out-Twittered, tried to calm down her husband:
“The neighbor doing consruction (sic) with six guys pounding hammers against steel at 7 a.m. is no way to wake up! … baby keep it together there should only be another 5 months of this… calm and gentle baby you can pull out the paint gun later!”
According to the LA TIMES, Goldsmith “says that the house Kutcher lives in was built over a 10-year period and that all the neighbors had to suck it up and cope with their construction noise.”
Kutcher later responded to TMZ’s report on his Twitter account: “[C]an’t someone have a moment and even a sense of humor about being annoyed without skanky tmz twisting into something it’s not?”
Maybe Goldsmith is being “punk’d” and has yet to be informed that he is in the middle of one of the 30-year old Kutcher’s notorious Allen Funt-inspired hijinks. Or perhaps, TMZ is being played by the neighbor and Kutcher in an inside joke thus far lost on the general population. Or plausibly, a recent president now clearing brush at his Crawford, Texas ranch is the one to blame.
Whatever the reasoning, one thing is for sure. I’m still keeping my pledge.
