We’re outside by the pool and the air smells of citronella and night-blooming jasmine. I’m drinking a Red Bull and watching a couple of girls in sundresses leap into the shimmering water, the thin fabric revealing their underwear, both of them shrieking loudly to make sure everybody pays attention.

They are lovely, those girls.

The music is so loud it pulses inside my chest, as if it’s replacing my heart, which would be fine with me. Two guys come up and start dancing. They look exactly the same, androgynous and pretty, with floppy hair. It’s a look I like, feel strong against, and we all three sway together.

When the music pauses I order one of them to get me another Red Bull. He nods and bows; he likes being ordered around.

“Chivalry is not dead,” he says.

“Good to know,” I say.

The other one tells me I’m beautiful and I can see he means it. Then he gets that look in his eye — soft, sweet  — and asks if I’m OK. Every person I’ve talked to in the past two months has looked at me like that and asked if I’m OK. It is driving me insane.

Within half an hour, a team was on the scene, had assessed her condition, and taken her to a local hospital. That's about double the amount of time it took for Internet critics to take aim at her.

In a cryptic statement Tuesday, a spokesman for Moore announced, "Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health. She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends." She has since dropped out of the biopic "Lovelace," where she was set to play Gloria Steinem.

You don't have to be wearing a tinfoil hat to suspect there's more to the story than "exhaustion." Exhaustion doesn't usually merit a 911 call. And an anonymous source who claims to have seen the incident report told E! Tuesday that Moore was "shaking" and otherwise "acting like she was suffering from a seizure," which certainly sounds like something serious went down – and may have been part of a larger problem.

But on Tuesday, the tawdry frenzy surrounding Ashton Kutcher's alleged recent indiscretion got a novel twist – with the casual allegation that the encounter wasn't just extramarital, it was downright unsafe.

It was only a matter of time before the blonde who purportedly romped with Ashton Kutcher on the eve of his wedding anniversary last month sold her story to the tabloids. And sure enough, this week, Sara Leal spilled her account of a night of forbidden passion with the married star of "Two and a Half Men" to Us magazine. But along with the uninspired details that "We had sex twice," and the underwhelming report that "He was good, but it wasn't weird or perverted or creepy," what's troubling about Leal's account is her bold brag that Kutcher didn't wear a condom.

If you follow entertainment news, you know what I'm talking about. Are Demi and Ashton splitting up? OMG you guys! How about now? Now? Anything? OK, so how about if, while there's no official statement from the couple, we all just try to interpret their tweets?

Speculation over the robustness of the Kutcher/Moore union has been going on ever since the duo started dating eight years ago. But it's gone into wild overdrive over the past week, thanks to the fact that the couple recently spent their sixth wedding anniversary on separate coasts. While Moore was in New York promoting her directorial effort in the Lifetime breast cancer awareness movie "Five," Kutcher stayed in California to party with friends. More damningly, TheDirty.com reported that Kutcher spent some of anniversary weekend putting it to a 23-year-old blonde. The woman in question has already diligently hired a lawyer, gone into seclusion and deleted all her social media accounts. A cover story in the new issue of the Star alleges that Kutcher's "serial cheating" is the reason "it's over."

It was quiet and cool in there, and I had a lot of time to think, especially during the film's dismal opening half-hour, which seems to have been directed by a robot that had learned that helicopters, nice clothes, pretty girls and foreign locations are all good things to have in movies, but not how to stitch them together, let alone why.

I spent most of that time thinking about Ashton Kutcher, who has a few genuinely sparkling screwball-style scenes with Heigl (who plays his sweetie-pie wife) after she finds out he's actually a CIA assassin, and quite a few others where he seems barely present. I was wondering about why Kutcher isn't an enormous movie star, and whose fault that might be. It might well be his fault; celebrities write their own ticket to an unprecedented degree these days, and any claim from me or Kutcher or anybody else that he's been misused or exploited would be laughable. He produced "Killers," which is no better than a mismanaged early-summer time waster, and he produced his best film, "Spread," an L.A. gigolo black comedy that didn't much interest critics or the general public or anybody but me.

The indisputably stunning 47-year-old garnered attention this year for very much disputable cover image on the December issue of W magazine, wherein her hip magically appeared to be narrower than her thigh. When our friends at Jezebel pointed out the anatomical inconsistency, Moore posted her own copy of the pic and howled into the Twittersphere that "My hips were not touched." But the scrutiny continued when an eerily similar runway photo of 26-year-old model Anja Rubik turned up.

We all had quite the amusing time speculating on how all that could have happened. Fiddle dee dee, could there possibly be retouching in the world of fashion magazines?

One person who wasn't amused, however, was Ms. Moore herself. Apparently taking a page from the Ralph Lauren book of litigious, self-defeating overreaction, Moore sicced her lawyers on Boing Boing over the holidays for its ongoing and very public questioning of the integrity of the actress's cover image.

We all did a little "WTF?" when Demi Moore appeared on the cover of W this month with what looked like a Photoshop disaster of an enthusiastically shaved-off hip, as Jezebel originally reported.  Mrs. Kutcher fired back on Twitter that the image was all her, posting her own version of the photo and saying, "Here is the original image people my hips were not touched don't let these people bullshit you!"  adding that "I love the pic and can only say I wish I had good lighting like that following me around all day!! Haha."

But now, it gets even better. Keen-eyed fashionistas have noted the remarkable, some might say unfuckingcanny, resemblance between the cover image of the 47-year-old Ms. Moore and 26-year-old Anja Rubik's recent spin on the runway in the same Balmain swimsuit and wrap. The body, the pose, the position of the arms – they're all oddly similar.

Using his self-proclaimed “Queen of All Media” title as an all-access license to call other people “faggot” (a gambit that won him an ass kicking from the Black Eyed Peas manager Polo Molina earlier this year) and “whore,” Perez Hilton (nee Mario Armando Lavandeira) has long reveled in pissing people off. But is it possible that the guy whose main claim to fame is drawing penises in movie stars’ mouths has gone too far -- even for him?

The latest dustup erupted yesterday, when Demi Moore got wind of a series of comments Hilton had posted regarding Moore’s 15 year-old-daughter, actress Tallulah Willis. First, he’d tweeted that she was “dressing like a slut! Look at her boobs!" after she’d appeared out clubbing in a low-cut ensemble. There was more on his blog, including pictures of Willis in short shorts with helpful arrows pointing to her “ass” and a photo of her at a party speculating that she “can't even stand up straight without the help of her friends.” (An equal-opportunity offender, he’s also quick to depict her big sis Rumer as a semen-dribbling “Potato Head.”

Anne Heche and Ashton Kutcher in "Spread."

Way back in the January snows of Sundance, the Ashton Kutcher gigolo movie "Spread" briefly looked like a hot target for studio acquisitions people, or as hot as anything looked in the depressed film economy of 2009, anyway. This stuff happens a lot at film festivals -- some picture wows the throngs of industry insiders and then vanishes, essentially forever -- but "Spread" seemed to have a lot of ingredients: A Hollywood hunk well-liked by the lay-tees, proving that he could act; a leggy Anne Heche, in an oddly sympathetic cougar role; a talented director (Scotsman David Mackenzie) still awaiting a mainstream breakthrough; plenty of sex and sunshine and a peculiar, dark-comic edge.

I hate the word "cougar." I hate the concept of cougars. I hate the new show "The Cougar."

This does not mean that I hate the solitary wild cat who feasts on deer, elk and sometimes armadillos, in regions across North and South America. Nor does it mean that I hate women who have sex with younger men. What I hate is the never-ending cutesy-pie conflation of the two.

Enthusiasm for the word "cougars" as applied to women, and not simply to high school football teams or John Mellencamp, seems to have begun around the millennium, with the 2001 publication of "Cougar: A Guide for Older Women Dating Younger Men," by Valerie Gibson. But the term caught fire in 2005, fueled by the marriage that year of then-42-year-old Demi Moore to then-27-year-old Ashton Kutcher.

Four years later we are still awash in knee-slapping, claw-bearing, never-gets-old cougar mania! Rowr!

One details Demi Moore's new mission to speak out against ageism in Hollywood after reportedly spending more than $200K on plastic surgery. Now that the full-body makeover, including a reported $5,000 knee lift, failed to produce a career revival, Moore told Red Magazine: "If we are told we are not valuable once we hit 30, it is a problem. We all have more to give. We can't just wait for something to happen. We have to say, 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more'."

He's known as the Thumbprint Killer (he always finds a way to attractively showcase his victims' prints in blood at the crime scene) and he takes his orders from an inner voice that only he -- and we -- can hear, like an evil Harvey. We can see as well as hear this malevolent giant imp, who is played by William Hurt and who, for no explicable reason, goes by the name of Marshall. "I like being alive," he tells Earl quite plainly. "I like eating, I like fucking, and I like killing." He doesn't mention long walks on the beach, but we can assume he likes those, too.

"Ashton Kutcher better start making better movies if he wants to stay on the cover of People magazine." -- The clerk who sold me my ticket to "My Boss's Daughter"

The backlash against Ashton Kutcher has officially begun, as it often does, about five seconds after people started noticing him in the first place. Still, the ticket clerk is wrong. Kutcher doesn't need to make good movies in order to stay on the cover of People. He just needs celebrity ex-girlfriends insulting his genitalia on national television.

But Kutcher has a lot more than outspoken exes in his arsenal. If Ben and J.Lo have welcomed us into a new world in which celebrity worship is almost indistinguishable from celebrity loathing, then Ashton Kutcher is the rightful ruler of this strange new land, jeering at his own kind from the sidelines even as he ushers a reimagineered Demi Moore down the red carpet.

Yeow! Demi Moore is being accused of acting like one of the characters she played in "Disclosure." In that 1994 movie she seduced Michael Douglas and then accused him of sexual harassment. In the real-life case, Lawrence Bass, a man she hired to manage her Idaho ranch, says, "I was on my knees on the floor, trying to get into a cabinet, when she came up beside me and began lightly stroking my neck in a very sensual way." When he said "No, thanks" he was fired and is now asking for damages. Demi's people say the lawsuit has no merit, but we think Bass knows a move when he sees it -- he used to be Hugh Hefner's butler!

How many surgeries, exactly? "I don't know," she confesses. "I lost count."

She suspects it may be less than a dozen, though.

"When you first get them, you want them bigger and bigger," she explains. "I just snapped out of it one day and was like, 'What am I doing to myself?'"

Well, maybe not all the way out of it ...

If the bubblegum popsters do make a film, "it won't be called 'Grease 3,'" the original big-screen Danny Zuko tells TV Guide Online. "I was told Paramount owns the 'Grease' name and they're not doing that," an assertion Paramount confirms.

"Grease," as a word and a concept, "should be left as is," Travolta opines.

True, it may have groove, it may have meaning, but, says Travolta, "Like 'American in Paris' [and] 'Cabaret,' 'Grease' should be left alone."

Not like "Battlefield Earth."

She was the Brat Pack's Joan Crawford.

In 1990, "Ghost" became among the first megahits of the decade. The drippy love story grossed $218 million domestically and earned an astounding $508 million worldwide -- not bad for a "General Hospital" dropout. Later, she consolidated her clout with high-concept hits like the man-barters-wife-for-a-million-bucks melodrama "Indecent Proposal," which earned $107 million in 1993, and the bosomy-bosswoman-harrasses-hapless-clerk drama "Disclosure," which hit $93 million in 1994.

By 1996, if there was any doubt about Demi's power, she hogtied Hollywood by securing $12.5 million for "Striptease." Never mind that the movie proved so inept that Castle Rock couldn't decide whether to sell it as a drama or add a laugh track.

Honorable mentions: Sylvester "Rocky" Stallone's cojones: "Pebbles," Marilyn Manson's breasts: "Publicity" and "Stunt," Ricky Martin's booty: "Dinero," Monica Lewinsky's privates: "Humidor," Mick Jagger's lips: "IMAX."

2) The celebrity you'd most like to have make your dreams come true:

The winner (at least the weirdest) is ... The Rev. Jerry Falwell: "My recurring dream is that Jerry Falwell has undergone male to female transexual surgery. The new Falwell changes his, I mean her, name to the Divine Reverend Ms. J and holds a press conference to tell the world that during a previous life she was the Ms. J. who wrote the Bible."

Last night I dreamt of Demi Moore again. Waking in a cold sweat, I thought: Has it really been more than a year since "Striptease"? No wonder I've been in such a restless state of Demi deprivation! Yet for these past few weeks I have sensed, like a humming swarm of locusts on the horizon, the imminent approach of the next wonderfully awful Demi Moore event.

Yes, the long-awaited (well, I've been waiting) "G.I. Jane," which like almost every Demi Moore vehicle is less a movie than a signal for another media feeding frenzy, finally opens today. Some have already jumped the gun for the next round of Demiotics. Just three days ago Demi made an appearance in, of all places, the Wall Street Journal's editorial page: "In a world where what we are offered for entertainment includes the actress Demi Moore gyrating on a bar counter with Madonna's gay brother ..." Perhaps this only meant that the Journal is now keeping close tabs on National Enquirer covers. I saw it as a Sign.
