NP Rank:
Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Get Cheeky on Twitter, Punk Paparazzi
Ashton Kutcher may just put the paparazzi out of a job. Kutcher and wife Demi Moore are avid Twitterers often inviting fans into the intimate moments of their lives via their Twitter streams.
Kutcher's latest TwitPic tweet has caused controversy as crossing the line of good taste. Over the weekend he posted a tweet with the enticing words "shhh... don't tell wifey" and a curious TwitPic link. The picture that was posted was cheeky to say the least... it was literally a picture of his wife's perfect derriere (tighty-whities and all).

In the past Kutcher and Moore have posted intimate photos of themselves and their family getting ready for red carpet events, like the 2009 Oscars, and the couple's TwitPic fanaticism just may put paparazzi photogs on the unemployment line; especially if other celebrities start to follow suit.
Needless to say the paparazzi is jealous... err, outraged...
As we know from Ashton's Twittering past, this guy loves the controversy. But posting a half-naked picture of your wife on the internet (aka, the place where everyone can see, well, everything), while in the same breath dissing the paparazzi, makes me a little more than slightly peeved.
Think about it. Even if you had this perfect buttocks attached to your body, would you want it broadcast to the world next to a sentence stating, "shhhh don't tell wifey?" I think not.
Alas, if you want to see the pic, and you know you do, click here.
Has aplusk really crossed a line by posting a picture of his wife's famous butt in his Twitter stream, or did he just beat the paparazzi at their own game? Kutcher has proven time and time again that he is no Kelso. His keen business sense and strong political activism have rendered him a bit of an enigma to fans who know him best for his roles in Dude Where's My Car? and That 70's Show.
Given Kutcher's obvious marketing prowess it is doubtful that posting a photo of a bent over MrsKutcher in her white panties was an oversight. It was likely a calculated measure to take back what the paparazzi so often takes from celebrities... a sense of control over their public image.
If Demi Moore's reactionary tweet (and associated TwitPic link re-tweet) is any indication she was not at all unaware or upset by the photo of her behind making the rounds on Twitter. Her re-butt-le was a simple "while I was steaming his suit too!"
he is such a sneak and while I was steaming his suit too! RT @aplusk: shhh don't tell wifey http://twitpic.com/2bj5811:15 AM Mar 21st from TweetDeck

The paparazzi is only mad because they didn't get the shot themselves, they would kill for a photo-op like that one. Kutcher's behavior is not shocking and it is not something society doesn't already tolerate in spades. There is no shock value to the TwitPic of Demi Moore's buttocks; there is only a brilliant PR manouver by Kutcher.

This is a fantastic find, Tina. Truly an ingenious PR stunt, considering the withering youth and hence publicity of Demi Moore. The celebs might be putting a lot of people out of their jobs by doing this.
