Breathe a sigh of relief: You may never be the victim of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore’s oversharing again.
The Twitter-obsessed duo is threatening to sign off of the global networking site if a proposed reality show comes to fruition. According to Variety, Twitter.com is linking with TV producers Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment for an “unscripted show that would be putting ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutionary competitive format.”
Responded Kutcher: “Wow, I hope this isn’t true. I really don’t like being sold out. May have to take a twitter hiatus.”
Demi, who posted photos of herself with a missing front tooth over the weekend (below r.), echoed her young hubby: “I hope this isn’t true – if it is, our Twitter time may come to a quick and sad end!”
The couple’s rationale for potentially withholding their 140-character-or-less gems of wisdom? “How about … I don’t want to be stalked!!!” Kutcher tweeted.
Twitter founders acknowledged a “simple agreement” with both networks and production companies in a blog post Tuesday, but denied any “official Twitter show.” However, they did add that “Twitter’s open approach might have the power to transform television.”
You mean the photos Ashton posted of Demi ironing in her underwear weren’t transformative enough?

The A-list was out in full force at Bloomberg/Vanity Fair’s post-Correspondents Dinner reception. “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm offered to buy us a free drink, while Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore took a break from Twittering.
Kutcher, who beat most of his CNN tablemates at dinner with constant updates, paused to befriend the late Tim Russert’s son, Luke (a lapsed Twitterer, who hasn’t posted since March).
Said an eyewitness, “Demi and Ashton spent ages chatting with Luke, but they weren’t the only ones. He was like the ‘It’ boy. Even Mayor Bloomberg wanted to meet him.”
Rashida Jones was busy “trying to organize” her cadre of funny friends, who had all gone missing, including Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Amy Poehler.
Claire Danes left fiancé Hugh Dancy’s side to giggle about Obama’s speech with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. We also caught Kerry Washington gossiping with Natalie Portman about their dining partners. “Did you see Bradley Cooper’s face?” chuckled Washington. “He had no clue what was going on!”

ASHTON Kutcher (above) is a prankster, but he doesn’t always get it when the joke’s on him. Buzzfeed.com co-founder Jonah Peretti recently posted an audio clip in which he pretended to be an overzealous fan upset when Kutcher, an avid Twitterer, didn’t respond to a Twitter message from Peretti. But when Kutcher heard the audio, he took it seriously, and even called to apologize. In the two-minute voicemail, Kutcher said, “I want to ask for your forgiveness because I don’t like having ill will.”

For now, Ashton Kutcher is the king of Twitter. But there is a new challenger – Oprah.
Kutcher triumphed over CNN in their much ballyhooed race to be the first to reach a million followers on the microblogging Web site. Kutcher surpassed that benchmark in the early morning hours Friday, narrowly edging out the breaking news feed from the Time Warner Inc.-owned network.
Speaking in a live webcast early Friday, Kutcher took the tone of a revolutionary.
“We have shown the world that the new wave is here,” Kutcher said on ustream.tv shortly after passing the million mark. “It is present and it is ready to explode. You guys are all of it because I can’t follow me.”
Kutcher had long trailed CNN, but he staged a rally in recent days that captured the attention of the Web. The million mark race was taken by many as a symbol of huge upswing of Twitter’s popularity.
In recent months, the site has increased exponentially in visitors. The search engine Yahoo said Friday that searches for Twitter over the past four months increased more than 5,559 percent over the same time last year.
The site allows users to type “tweets” of 140 characters or less on their computers or cell phones, which others “follow” on Twitter like a stock ticker.
Kutcher, who’s an avid user of the site along with wife Demi Moore, said Twitter is democratizing media and removing filters between celebrities and fans, big media companies and their customers.
“We can and will create our media,” said Kutcher, who celebrated his victory with champagne and by posting the tweet: “Victory is ours!”
The 31-year-old Kutcher had claimed he would “ding-dong-ditch” CNN founder Ted Turner if he won, and pledged to make good on his promise after winning. Sean “Diddy” Combs was among the celebrity “Twitteratti” who supported his run.
CNN’s Larry King posted a video earlier in the week, playfully threatening Kutcher: “CNN will bury you!” Kutcher was to appear on King’s program Friday evening.
King was far from the only person sucked into Twitter by the million-mark showdown. Among the many new users to join was Oprah Winfrey, whose entry caused ripples across Twitter.
She gained more than 130,000 followers in less than a day, suggesting Winfrey – so successful in television, magazines, books and other media – would thrive on yet another platform.
Kutcher, CNN and Winfrey pledged to mark the occasion by purchasing mosquito bed nets to combat malaria. Kutcher donated $100,000 to the Malaria No More Fund, the charity said Friday.
Winfrey hosted a Twitter special on her show Friday with Kutcher as a guest, connected through the Internet communications service Skype. She also sent her first tweet.
“I’m still not sure I get it,” Winfrey said before tentatively typing “ASHTON IS NEXT” into a laptop, announcing the actor’s appearance.
“OK, here goes,” she said, pressing a key.
It didn’t go, actually. Winfrey’s representatives said she hit the wrong key. Her next attempt, also all in capital letters, went through: “HI TWITTERS. THANK YOU FOR A WARM WELCOME. FEELING REALLY 21st CENTURY.”

Ashton Kutcher is standing up for Michael Phelps after photos surfaced of the Olympian smoking marijuana.
“God forbid he hit a bong,” Kutcher Twittered about the incident on Monday. “Go ask your 20-year-old kid what they did last weekend.
“I’m not saying it was a smart move. But he doesn’t need to be publicly outed for it,” Kutcher went on.
The photo wound up in a British tabloid Sunday. Kutcher said, “Whoever put the pic out is an a**!”
Of Phelps – who was arrested for DUI in 2004 – Kutcher wrote: “He’s a good kid.”
While Kutcher said he hasn’t smoked pot “in quite some time … I’m not immune to a lapse in good judgment from time to time.”
On Sunday, Phelps released a statement, apologizing for his “regrettable” behavior. The photo was taken during a November house party while Phelps was visiting the University of South Carolina.
“I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me,” he said. “For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”
It remains to be seen whether the scandal will cost Phelps his slew of lucrative endorsement deals.
Luxury Swiss watchmaker Omega called Phelps’ actions a private matter and a “non-issue,” while Speedo said Phelps still remains a “valued member of the Speedo team.”

OF the hundreds of people at Europe’s most prestigious debutante ball, the Crillon Bal, Ashton Kutcher seemed the most out of place. As the stepfather of Scout LaRue Willis – one of 23 young beauties from around the world making her debut – Kutcher was congratulated on Scout’s “coming out.” Appearing utterly confused, Kutcher looked at the dance floor and joked, “As far as I know, she’s dancing with boys.” Scout, resplendent in a Christian Lacroix gown, also had her parents on hand, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, who was with his gorgeous girlfriend Emma Heming. CAA biggie Bryan Lourd watched Billie, his daughter by Carrie Fisher, debut in Chanel while French actor Alain Delon clapped for his girl Anouchka in Elie Saab and Catherine Oxenberg applauded daughter India in J. Mendel.
