Barton Out of Hospital, Returning to Work

Mischa Barton has left hospital after spending two weeks under psychiatric hold at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre and is ready to go back to work, her rep has confirmed.

Craig Schneider told Usmagazine.com earlier today: “I can confirm that [Mischa has] left the hospital with the intention to resume production [of her new show The Beautiful Life].”

The actress and former model was admitted to hospital on July 15 after making a distressing call to 911 which suggested she was on the verge of suicide.

Ashton Kutcher, the brains behind the new CW series The Beautiful Life, said on Friday that his leading actress was recovering well.

“I can tell you right now Mischa Barton is doing great,” he said.

Ironically, Barton’s character in The Beautiful Life is a pill-popping supermodel, something which is shockingly similar to her own life in recent times.

Production on her new show is set to begin on Friday.

Pitt to Kutcher: “Don’t Take Pictures of Your Wife’s Butt!”

Brad Pitt has spoken out against Ashton Kutcher’s rather inorthadox Twitter antics in the latest issue of Wired magazine, declaring that posting pictures of your better half’s butt is just not acceptable.

“Don’t take a picture of your wife’s butt. That’s silly,” Pitt said of Kutcher’s recent Twitter post, in which the Punk’d star Tweeted a shot of wife Demi Moore’s bikini-ed behind for his million or so followers to see.

However, Pitt had no problems with his fellow actor posting pictures of other women’s rear ends.

“Take pictures of other people’s wives’ butts,” Pitt instructed.

While Pitt had issues with Tweets about certain parts of the female anatomy, he had no qualms about Tweeting whilst on the can; however, he admitted that if you were going to do that, you had to be careful.

“Just be sure you don’t hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter,” he added. “Trust me, you don’t want those followers.”

Sounds like ol’ Brad’s speaking from experience there.

Justin & Ashton At War Over Trucker Caps

Yes, you read right: pop superstar Justin Timberlake and Hollywood’s resident prankster, Ashton Kutcher, are at war… over trucker caps.

According to Timberlake, Kutcher has declared that he was responsible for the trucker cap craze that swept the globe in recent years, but the Sexy/Back singer insists that this isn’t true.

“It’s funny, I keep hearing Ashton Kutcher say how he was responsible for trucker caps,” Timberlake told supplement magazine Fashion Rocks. “[But my best friend Trace Ayala and I] were wearing them when we were seventeen.”

Yes… but was Timberlake as famous and as influential at seventeen as he is now? I think not.

Kutcher is yet to comment on Timberlake’s attempted stealing of his “trucker cap phenomenon” crown, though he’ll no doubt be a little miffed.

Here’s hoping for a violent, Punk’d-style retaliation.

Ashton Kutcher Likes Aussie Girls’ Drinking Habits

During a plug for his latest film What Happens in Vegas, resident Hollywood prankster Ashton Kutcher sat down with Australia’s Getaway, and dished the dirt on just what he thinks of our fabulous country (and the girls in it!).

“I did a 13-day tour of Australia knocking off Melbourne, Sydney and hanging out in Byron Bay. It was pretty extravagant — learnt how to surf and I drank a lot of beer,” Ashton explained.

Beer and surfing… that pretty much goes hand-in-hand with living in the Land of Oz. What Ashton wasn’t ready for, and was quite shocked at, was the amount of alcohol our Aussie gals can down in a session.

Ashton said: “Australian girls can drink, I mean I’ve never been so impressed with a woman’s ability to hold down booze in my life. I went to college with a lot of alcoholics, but let me tell ya, Australian people can really put them back and I appreciate it.”

However, he didn’t appreciate it so much when he worked out that just because an Aussie girl is drunk, that doesn’t necessarily make her easy…

“And that’s the trick about those Australian girls because you think that their drinking so much that it’s going to make things easier. It doesn’t, it really doesn’t make things easier you know,” Kutcher said. “You really think you’ve got a one up but you don’t.”

I gather from that information that when Ashton came out to Australia, Demi didn’t come with him…
