Why I don’t care that Demi Moore filed for divorce from Ashton Kutcher today

First of all, I haven’t really cared about the acting careers of either Demi Moore or Ashton Kutcher for maybe a decade or two.  Their names come up when I play team trivia – usually the question is, “How much older is Demi Moore than Ashton Kutcher?” and the answer is 15 years.  Whoop dee doo.  Oh, and they got married in 2005.  Again, whoop dee doo.

Demi Moore?  Saw her in Ghost, that was enough for me.  Frankly, I’m more interested in the what’s-going-ons of Destiney Sue Moore, her relative that appeared on VH1’s “Rock of Love” and all those other VH1 celebreality TV shows.

Ashton Kutcher?  Okay, I used to watch “That 70’s Show” and thought his portrayal of the goofy, dimwitted Michael Kelso was funny, and yeah I caught an episode of “Punk’d” or two if there was nothing else on. But his movie career?  What’s the last good thing he was in?  Maybe Dude, Where’s My Car? Or What Happens in Vegas?

But honestly?  There was nothing in this Hollywood relationship that either interested me, mesmerized me, or even held my fleeting interest.  Ashton Kutcher had an affair?  Good for him.  Demi Moore files for divorce? Good for her.  It’s not anything I give two beans about.

Really, at this point I don’t consider either of these actors to be anything more than blips in the National Enquirer / TMZ broadcast day.  That’s my opinion, and I’m entitled to it.

Besides, let’s look at things for a second.  Demi Moore was once married to Bruce Willis.  Bruce Willis has moved on to become an A-list actor and respected member of the Hollywood community.  The guy will make independent films and genre films like The Sixth Sense and Grindhouse: Planet Terror, and still give his fans the chance to see another Die Hard movie.

And do you remember Ashton Kutcher’s co-star in “That 70’s Show” – a young black-haired lass named Mila Kunis?  The same Mila Kunis who appeared in Black Swan and Friends With Benefits and has carved her own career out as an up-and-coming leading lady?

Heck, if Bruce Willis and Mila Kunis can move on… then so can I.  The only reason I would even care about either of these people is if they were answers in an upcoming game of trivia.  And I doubt that will happen any time soon.
