Things are going just great for Ashton Kutcher right now, with the gossip rags reporting that he’s finally moving out of his mom’s house and getting a place of his own. He also may have slept with a random girl after Danny Masterson’s bachelor party (Vince was there) last month, and may even be the father of January Jones’ bastard child. Supposedly that’s enough to cost a guy his high-profile marriage. What happened to America?

Luckily for the “Two and a Half Men” star, his fans are still behind him all the way. In fact, a young girl in Brazil recently Tweeted that she absolutely loves Kutcher. How much does she love him? That’s her tattoo up there.

Kutcher’s fan from Brazil tweeted this picture of her latest ink to the Two and a Half Men star saying, “This is a way of expressing my love for @aplusk.”

So what does one superfamous actor say to such an extreme gesture? “All i can say is wow,” he tweets.

(Via E!)

If he Tweeted that, he deleted it, because I didn’t see it on his Twitter feed this morning, when I woke up and shouted, “I wonder what Ashton Kutcher is thinking!” (As I do). Of course, I can totally understand Kutcher’s eagerness to hide such a beautiful fan from his wife, what with their marriage on the rocks.

But this inspired me to get a tattoo of my own to send a special message to one of my favorite people…

Yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter, um, reported that the web site BoxOffice.com was on the verge of releasing an exclusive new study that would blow our minds. With Brad Pitt’s latest film, Moneyball, set to release tomorrow, BoxOffice.com was going to tell us late yesterday that the film is tracking nearly twice as well as The Social Network did.

Unfortunately, the exclusive study has still not been released, but you simply can’t deny the site’s rock solid statistics.

BoxOffice.com editor Phil Contrino tells me that the site has been tracking Facebook and Twitter activity since May 2010, and based its conclusions — which he says are statistically significant — on stats gathered from monitoring the two sites over the weekend before the films opened. On Facebook, The Social Network received 34,645 “likes” within that period, whereas Moneyball received 64,073. On Twitter, meanwhile, the former was the subject of 4,120 Tweets, whereas the latter was mentioned in 5,264.

Look, I’m no expert in movie tracking by any means, but it seems like predicting a movie’s success based on how many people liked it on Facebook or mentioned it on Twitter is like looking out a window and guessing the temperature. People mention all sorts of crazy sh*t on Twitter, and only 10% of it is spelled right. I’d be more concerned that people were trying to buy tickets for “Mun3bal.”

But if we really want to play the prediction game, I’d say a good indicator would be that 8 of Pitt’s last 13 movies have grossed more than $100 million and Moneyball is about baseball, stars Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, has been promoted religiously by Sony, and stars Brad Pitt. Predicting that it will be a success is too easy. Unless they change the name to Babel 2.

The latest trailer for the JJ Abrams-directed and Steven Spielberg-produced Super 8 was revealed today, as the movie’s Twitter page delivered a link to a Twitvid page, bringing us to an all-time high for Twitter references in an opening sentence. The trailer gives us a glimpse of a simpler time in America, as a group of pre-teen friends sets out to make their own movie. Nowadays it would, of course, be a sex tape.

According to the film’s synopsis:

“In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth – something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.”

Spoiler alert: It’s Kirstie Alley naked.

Trailer after the jump…

Ok, time for lunch orders. How many hot dogs do you want, Kevin?

It’s nothing new for Kevin Smith to be an outspoken lightning rod regarding his films or the film industry in general. Between his podcast, public appearances, interviews, Twitter, smoke signals, and skywriting, he’s gone out of his way to speak his mind about some of the things that annoy him about the process of making movies. So it’s really not that surprising that he’s making waves at Sundance with his words more than his movie, Red State.

To catch you up: Smith Tweeted something along the lines of “Hey you guys I’ma totally auction off this movie at Sundance.” A bunch of Hollywood execs were then all, “Hurr durr we liek buyin moviefilms. Ok see you soon bye.” Then Smith and the execs showed up in Utah, and the execs were like “Ok neat can we buy the moviefilm now? Now?” And then Kevin Smith was all, “Hold on, we’ll talk after I screen it.” The movie was screened and the Hollywood execs got their checkbooks out, but then Smith went on a rant about how the industry process sucked. The Hollywood execs sat there and were like, “Man this guy sure hates us. I can’t wait to work with him on his moviefilm.” But when it came time for the “auction,” Smith instead sold the film to himself for $20, and announced plans to self-distribute. Then the execs were all, “Why we no can buy moviefilm? I has a angersad,” and the journalists there to cover it were like, “You said auction that was not an auction. We hate your fat face, beardface.”

Then, to defend and explain himself, Kevin Smith took to Twitter and unleashed a 69 (haha, sex) Tweet manifesto, which some poor, poor person at Vulture compiled. I’ve posted it after the jump, and will attempt to break down its important points. I’ll do my best, but fair warning, I have horrific ADD.

(This post is a little too sexy for the top of the page, so I hope you’re still finding it. I censored the language but it still might be NSFW.)

One of the most memorable parts of Fight Club was Helena Bonham Carter’s character Marla Singer, rasping out delightfully wrong lines like “I haven’t been f*cked like that since grade school.” (In the deleted scenes, she also says “I wanna have your abortion.”).  If you enjoyed that, then you’ll love adult film star Bree Olson’s Twitter account.  I don’t care if it’s actually her writing these (and they are curiously well-spelled for a porn star), they’re still impressively Marla-esque:

“My strongest fantasy right now is me being a middle-aged pregnant hooker with 4 daughters. I masturbate to it every night!”

I like exclamation points. Shows you’re enthusiastic.  More fun:
