Love Celebrity Style: Is Ashton Trying To Hurt Demi? Katy Kicks Russell To The Curb & Steve Tyler Gifts Engagement Rock

IS ASHTON KUTCHER TRYING TO HURT DEMI?

The Hollywood pretty boy — emphasis on the developmentally-arrested “boy” — has been making a point of being photographed with various women, none of whom have the apparent beauty or grace of his soon-to-be-ex-wife.

Demi Moore, 49, dumped the sleaze ball after he raw dogged some blonde bimbo on his sixth wedding anniversary in October.

First he’s spotted slobbering all over costar Lea Michele while promoting their new movie, New Year’s Eve. Then he’s videotaped leaving a Berlin club with three women just four days before Christmas. He was also rumored to have party with some college girls during a Thanksgiving visit home to Iowa.

Now he’s been snapped vacationing in Italy with screenwriter Lrene Scafaria who penned Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. A spy tells Us that the two held hands during dinner at Pizzeria Trattoria Toscana in Pisa on Christmas Eve.

“Roman holiday with homies…have an amazing new year!” Kutcher tweeted along with a snap of him with Scafari and business partner Matt Mazzant. That’s a whole lot of action for a guy who feigned love with Moore, his wife of six years.

Wags are saying that Scafaria and Kutcher have been romancing each other since Kutcher tried out for a part in her movie, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.

“Ashton started seeing her while each was in a relationship,” a source tells Us Weekly which has snaps of the two together in Italy. The two were also spotted snowboarding and shuffleboarding at the Yellowstone Club in Montana, but Ashton’s rep bats away the report with a standard “just friends.”

No doubt sick of stories about her looking wain and broken, Demi’s now been spotted “”danc[ing] up a storm” Christmas Eve at a private club in Turks and Caicos. “Demi was dancing seductively for all the guys [at the bar] and they were going nuts,” reports ThirdAge. One eyewitness claimed to have said: “Demi could do ‘The Wiggles’ dance and still look hot.”

And if dirty dancing doesn’t equal the score with Ashton, let’s throw in the three chihuahua puppies Mrs.Kutcher has adopted to “help heal her broken heart,” reports the Daily Mail. Because nothing replaces a dirty dog better than puppy love.

Meanwhile, rumors of the impending demise of the Katy Perry-Russell Brand marriage seem less and less exaggerated. The British comic and pop singer spent 7,000 miles apart on Christmas; he was photographed in a remote British town; she was snapped splashing in the blue seas of Hawaii.

Once again Us Weekly digs the dirt and quotes a source saying, ” They had a massive fight. She was like, ‘F*** you. I’m going to do my own thing.’ Russell replied, ‘Fine, f*** you, too.’”

The spy confided: “They haven’t split up just yet, but things are not good. The fighting is getting worse.”

Just last month Brand dismissed rumors as proof the web as a “wicked little liar.”

“I’m really happily married… I’m married to Katy,” he told Ellen DeGeneres. “Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I’m still alive.”

Oh, you crazy kids, just recognize this for rough patch for what it is: a temporary adjustment disorder to marriage! Unless, of course, your fame, wealth and celebrity will let you avoid hardship for your entire lifetime. In which case — on to the next marriage!

That’s just what Steven Tyler’s planning to do, apparently. The rocker and American Idol judge has gifted his long-time girlfriend Erin Brady with an engagement ring, TMZ reports. The two have dated since 2006 and Tyler’s been married twice before. The news did not go down smoothly with Tyler’s family, members of whom have apparently whispered to TMZ that “she’s not nice.” Who’s judging now?
