@Mrskutcher Switches to @Justdemi on Twitter

That really makes divorce from Ashton official

(NEWSER) - You know it's really over when a breakup affects a Twitter handle. So to make it officially over and done with, Demi Moore is no longer @mrskutcher, and is now @justdemi on Twitter. Though Demi and Ashton Kutcher announced the end of their marriage last year, Moore has been agonizing about her Twitter handle. She asked her 5 million followers for change suggestions, and discovered that many possibilities had already been claimed by others. (An imposter has already snatched Demi's old @mrskutcher moniker, but don't be fooled, warns MTV .) It was "so hard finding a name that was fun somewhat playful and available," she tweeted. So "for now it will be @justdemi. It could grow on me," she tweeted. More»

Meet Ashton's New 'Friend'

Kutcher may be dating screenwriter Lorene Scafaria

(NEWSER) - Is Ashton Kutcher moving on already—and in public? He made no secret of spending Christmas in Italy with screenwriter Lorene Scafaria, tweeting a picture of the two of them along with Kutcher's business partner, Matt Mazzant. But reps insist they're just friends, and the tweet does refer to both Scafaria and Mazzant as Kutcher's "homies." Still, a witness tells Us he spotted Kutcher and Scafaria holding hands and sharing spaghetti on Christmas Eve, and a source says sparks first flew between the pair as far back as February, when Kutcher auditioned for a film Scafaria wrote. "Ashton started seeing her while each was in a relationship," says a source. More»
