Ashton Kutcher Buys Ritzy L.A. Home!
Ashton Kutcher
was not about to be outdone by Justin Bieber. With Biebs circling the
swank Los Angeles, CA home he had previously been renting like a shark,
Kutcher purchased the home. It is unclear how much of the $10.8 million
asking
price he shelled out for the glass, steel and stone contemporary home
that overlooks Lake Hollywood.
The
newly minted Casa de Kutcher can be found high in the Hollywood Hills
on a half-acre lot and enjoys spectacular views of the surrounding
landscape. Designed by the Mills Studio architectural firm, the
9,400-square-foot house offers
five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. An extensive use of glass was
integrated into the design of the property, with glass-floor bridges,
floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple cantilevered rooms and balconies
that open the home to the reservoir.
Here are the links to the video and embed code, as well as a related blog post for use on your site.

ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING
Inspired by the perennial New York Times
bestseller of the same name and the first book in a series that has
sold over 32 million copies worldwide, WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE
EXPECTING is a hilarious and heartfelt big screen comedy about five
couples whose intertwined lives are turned upside down by the challenges
of impending parenthood.
Over
the moon about starting a family, TV fitness guru Jules and dance show
star Evan find that their high-octane celebrity lives don’t stand a
chance against the surprise demands of pregnancy. Baby-crazy author and
advocate Wendy gets a taste of her own militant mommy advice when
pregnancy hormones ravage her body; while Wendy’s husband, Gary,
struggles not to be outdone by his competitive alpha-Dad, who’s
expecting twins with his much younger trophy wife, Skyler. Photographer
Holly is prepared to travel the globe to adopt a child, but her husband
Alex isn’t so sure, and tries to quiet his panic by attending a “dudes”
support group, where new fathers get to tell it like it really is. And
rival food truck chefs Rosie and Marco’s surprise hook-up results in an
unexpected quandary: what to do when your first child comes before your
first date?
A
kaleidoscopic comedy as universal as it is unpredictable, WHAT TO
EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING finds humor and uplift in all the
unexpected trials and triumphs of welcoming a child into the world.
The film stars Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Chace
Crawford, Brooklyn Decker, Ben Falcone, Anna Kendrick, Matthew Morrison,
Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock, Rodrigo Santoro, Joe Manganiello, Rob Huebel,
Tom Lennon and Amir Talai. The film is directed by Kirk Jones, written
by Shauna Cross and Heather Hach and inspired by the book “What To
Expect When You’re Expecting” by Heidi Murkoff. Lionsgate presents in
association with Alcon Entertainment, a Phoenix Pictures production / a
Lionsgate production of a Kirk Jones film.
