Ashton Kutcher, method actor, truly goes the distance to capture the essence of a character. In the case of portraying Steve Jobs for the upcoming indie flick jOBS, Kutcher put himself on a diet of strictly fruits, nuts, and seeds, mimicking Jobs 'fruitarian' lifestyle. Read More >>
Today I saw jOBS at Sundance, the story of a young Steve Jobs, the now legendary co-founder and CEO of Apple Computer. And although I know it may be exaggerated, it was the experience I wanted. Read More >>
I don't know if jOBS—the biopic of Steve Jobs starring Ashton Kutcher—will be a good movie per se, but this clip makes the upcoming film look surprisingly decent. Read More >>

The night before I'm supposed to pose as an extra in Jobs, the first biopic to begin filming in the wake of Apple icon Steve Jobs' untimely 2011 death, I stay out until 2 in the morning. When I order a big bottle of Spanish cider at 1:15, five hours before my alarm is set to go off, and five hours and 45 minutes before I'm supposed to be on set, I justify it by remembering how Jobs spoke often and openly about his "important" experiences with recreational drugs. "Steve would have wanted it this way," I think, pouring myself another glass of the cloudy cider and starting in on another story. Read More >>

Ashton Kutcher's cinematic opus, jOBS — yes, it's spelled like that — is getting real. How real? People who look nothing like the characters they're playing have entered the Jobs family home, where Apple was born. Read More >>

Ashton may or may not be the perfect fit to play the world's favorite tech tyrant, but the rest of the film seems terrible and terribly boring. Even the title is horrendous. Read More >>
Our first reaction to Ashton Kutcher playing Steve Jobs was abject horror. But once the because it's Ashton Kutcher! nausea dissipates, you're left with something more salient: Steve Jobs is not a hard acting role. And Ashton might be perfect. Read More >>

Apparently, Hollywood just made the kooky decision to cast Ashton "One Third of Two and a Half Men or Just 5/6th of One Man" Kutcher as the lead in an upcoming Steve Jobs biopic. Yes, there is some resemblance between Ashton and young Steve Jobs. Yes, Ashton is a famous guy. But people, he's... Ashton Kutcher. Read More >>
Last night, Ashton Kutcher posted a dumb tweet about a football coach getting fired. He didn't have all the details, and later retracted his tweet. Now he's turning over his Twitter feed to a team of media experts to make sure he only makes an idiot of himself on purpose. Read More >>
