Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis
Since divorcing from Demi Moore last November, Ashton Kutcher has already been romantically linked to Rihanna. Since those rumours have been dismissed by both parties, the new girl on the scene is apparently his former 70s show co-star Mila Kunis. The pair have supposedly been friends since they were 15, however the papers have only just caught on to the idea that they may be more than just friends after being pictured furniture shopping together this week followed by dinner. Which of course has excited the press seeing as both starred in films recently focussing on friends ‘with benefits’ who have ‘no strings attached’ who then turn out to have feelings for each other…

Jessie J: Lesbian?
As Cheryl, Kelly and recently Tulisa have come to realise, being a talent show judge brings with it a lot more publicity than was perhaps sought after, and since Jessie J took the job as a ‘mentor’ on BBC’s The Voice, she too has received the same treatment by the press. Her unauthorised biography was released this week, and the author has apparently disclosed that Jessie J is not in fact bi-sexual as was previously believed, but is 100% gay. The author supposes that her record company persuaded her to make fans believe she was bi as coming out as a lesbian could result in a ‘career damaging backlash’. However, Jessie hit back at the claims by taking to twitter to express her frustration at the rumours:‘Ha! Thanks for writing yet another boring untrue story. I thought I was still dating Tinie (Tempah), NO Ellie G (Goulding), NO Mark Wright….bla bla bla! #cantkeepup #noneofitstrue’
