Sex with Kutcher ruined my life: Sara Leal

Sara Leal, the woman who allegedly had an affair with Ashton Kutcher, said that her life became a living hell after her fling with the actor. The 22-year-old girl said that the fallout from being the “other woman” led to her losing her job and her family refusing to speak to her.
Leal
insists that she is not a “slut party girl” and bitterly regrets having sex with Kutcher.

The 22-year-old added that most girls her age would have jumped at the chance to bed such a famous star.

She and the Two and Half Men star spent the night together at a hotel in San Diego on the night of the actor’s six wedding anniversary.

Leal later sold her story to a celebrity magazine while Kutcher, 33, desperately tried to save his six year marriage to Demi Moore after failing to deny the infidelity.

“It was insane. I had no idea what I was getting myself into,” the Daily Mail quoted Leal as telling Fox News.

“It might have seemed like I was asking for it, but I wasn’t.
“My dad wouldn’t even talk to me, and I got a lot of disturbing phone calls, even from my friends’ parents.

“I got fired from my job. I am no longer friends with my best friend who was my roommate because it caused so many problems and I had to move out.

“I wasn’t working for two months, and I only just started working three weeks ago. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

Leal told Fox News that she had no idea Kutcher was married when she agreed to accompany him back to his suite at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, California.

She claimed having unprotected sex with Kutcher telling her he was separated from his wife.

“I don’t watch television and I read very few magazines. It never crossed my mind that he was married.

“But then he said he was separated, which still doesn’t make things okay, but I wasn’t thinking clearly.

“He was a good looking guy and it was stupid.

“When people say to me ‘I can’t believe you did that’ I want to say back that most 22-year-old girls in my position would have done the same thing,” she added.

Since being fired from her job as an administrative assistant with an insurance company she has started work with a real estate firm and is training as a yoga instructor.

Directed by Siddharth Malhotra and produced by Filmfare winner Karan Johar, Bollywood Stepmom will replace Oscar winner Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking) and Oscar nominated Ed Harris (Pollock) with Filmfare winners Kajol (Fanaa) and Arjun Rampal (Rock On!!) respectively.

While Hollywood Stepmom was filmed in New York and New Jersey states of USA, the Bollywood Stepmom will be shot in Australia and USA.

The storyline of Hollywood Stepmom was about how the children and ex-wife cope when a new woman (Julia Roberts) entered in their father's life, who was a successful photographer, and did not plan to give up her work.

Only Barack Obama's election to the White House eclipsed the King of Pop's dramatic passing away.

According to a news daily, in the 72 hours after his death, Jackson, 50, generated twice as much web news than in the same period after coalition troops entered Iraq.

Other top stories he left standing included last year's Beijing Olympics, Hurricane Katrina, the death of Pope John Paul II and the Indonesian tsunami disaster.

His death has also leapt to the ninth biggest story in global print media since the start of 2000.

The analysis tracked news stories within the first 72 hours after the event.

Michael Jackson Wanted to clone himself

Michael Jackson was so scared of dying that he wanted to clone himself. He wanted to live forever, says the singer's driver.

Mirror.co.uk reports that Jackson, who died last month of cardiac arrest, had apparently attended a conference in Las Vegas on human cloning with his friend Uri Geller, the spoon bender. Jackson was also interested in the teachings of a sect called Raelians and asked them if they could clone him.

"Jackson was very excited. He bounced out of that conference like a small child. He was smiling and on a high. I heard him and Uri talking in the back of the limo. He was talking about the prospect of being cloned," said Al Bowman, Jackson's chauffeur who drove him to the event in 2002.

"He grabbed Uri by both arms and told him, 'I really want to do it Uri, and I don't care how much it costs'. I always remember Jackson talking about the cloning of Dolly the sheep in Britain in 1996 - he was totally fascinated by it. Then when he heard about the Raelians, he became utterly convinced this weird religious group could clone humans."

"It was really oddball stuff, but it interested Michael. One day in the limo he said, 'They did it with Dolly'. I said, 'Dali... you mean Salvador Dali'. We both laughed. Michael said he wanted a mini-version of himself cloned to carry on his legacy. He was hoping that Michael Jackson could live for ever."

"He basically helped save my party from terrible financial distress, so he was very kind to me personally," Clinton said during a stop on his tour of a still-struggling northern Haiti, where floods killed several hundred people last year.

Clinton, his face bright red under a scorching summertime Caribbean sun, spoke fondly of Jackson, recalling that the singer performed at his first inauguration in 1993. He also said Jackson had struggled with the burden of early fame.

"He was an immensely gifted man and I think he basically meant well," Clinton told The Associated Press. "I know about all the trouble he had in his life and I hope he will be remembered for his contribution as an artist. I hope his children turn out well. That would be the greatest tribute you could have."

The biggest celebration is planned by the Official Michael Jackson Fan Club in India, the only club authorised by Michael Jackson’s label Sony BMG and his management to use the name.

The biggest event is planned for August 29, Jackson’s birthday; the venue hasn’t been identified yet.
Worli’s Hard Rock Café has plans for tributes in the first or second week of August.

Hard Rock’s Amit Keshwani says, “We’re trying to get Indian artistes to sing Michael Jackson covers and perform in his style.”

Brooke Shields Shared 'asexual' Relationship with Jackson

Brooke Shields has revealed that she instantly became friends with Michael Jackson when she first met him because sexual tension was off the table between them.

She told Rolling Stone magazine that at the age of 13, when she first met the icon, she was “the most celebrated virgin ever" while Jackson was trying to adjust to the scores of women who "wanted to throw themselves at (Jackson) and feel like they were going to teach him," the China Daily reports.

The 44-year-old actress also added that as Jackson grew up, "the more asexual he became to me."

However, the iconic singer was curious about Brooke’s early affairs.

She said: "He was like a little kid who talked about the bases — what first base was, what second base was, it sounded very odd to the outside, I can imagine, but to the inside, to someone who''s never really left his bubble, you can understand how he would be curious."

Shields had last seen Jackson long time back in 1991 at Elizabeth Taylor's wedding.

She recalled: "We snuck in and took pictures of ourselves next to her dress, we always seemed to revert to being little kids."

Jolie, Aniston are Hollywood top-earning Actresses

Angelina Jolie is Hollywood`s top earning actress, banking $27 million in the past year to beat out her partner Brad Pitt`s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, who raked in $25 million, a Forbes.com study showed on Wednesday.

Most of Jolie`s income came from her share of the profits from her action film "Wanted," but she was also paid a large upfront sum for her role in "Salt," the study said. Jolie and Pitt have six children.

Aniston, who was married to Pitt before he became involved with Jolie, earned most of her millions from the romantic comedy "Marley and Me" and her upcoming film "The Baster."

"Aniston also still earns money from (reruns of TV series) Friends and she gets a nice paycheck shilling for Glaceau`s SmartWater," Forbes.com said.

Meryl Streep came in at No. 3 with $24 million, most of which came from her role in "Mamma Mia," while Sarah Jessica Parker was ranked fourth with $23 million in earnings following the movie version of TV series "Sex and the City."

Cameron Diaz rounds out the top five, banking $20 million between June 2008 and June 2009.

Forbes.com said it spoke to agents, managers, producers and lawyers to work out what actresses were paid upfront for movies they are currently shooting and what pay they might have earned after a movie hit the theaters. Money earned from perfume or clothing lines was also taken into account.

"As is still typical for Hollywood, our actresses earned significantly less than their male counterparts," Forbes.com said, pointing out that the top earning male actor, Harrison Ford, made $65 million.
