For weeks, Nick Lenard and his teammates on the North Hollywood Harvard-Westlake freshman football team figured they might end up as some sort of reality-show punch line.

They didn’t believe it at first when they were told that actor Ashton Kutcher was going to be one of their assistant coaches. Their doubts intensified when Kutcher didn’t show up for the first day of practice and again when they spotted cameramen jostling in the bushes along Coldwater Canyon last week during the Wolverines’ first game.

Sure enough, in the locker room after Harvard-Westlake’s season-opening victory, Kutcher eyed the players and proclaimed, “They just got punk’d.” They were relieved to find out he was kidding. “We all started laughing,” said Lenard, the Wolverines’ pint-sized kicker. (more…)

Ashton will be on an online show “NewspOp” tomorrow (Tuesday), 11am PT. He will be interviewed on the website Seesmic but anyone can leave a video for Ashton and possibly interact with him. Seesmic is a video conversation site so you just need to have a webcam to get into the conversation.

The interview will focus on his new project called Blah Girls which he will be launching at TechCrunch50 in San Francisco.

Fox Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of What Happens in Vegas on 26th August 2008. Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz star as two mismatched strangers who – after a wild night in Vegas – find themselves married. The road to annulment takes a supposedly hilarious turn when a three-million-dollar gambling win enters into the equation and a no-nonsense judge (Dennis Miller) sentences them to six months “hard marriage.” What follows is an all-out war of the sexes as the unhappy couple go to outrageous lengths to try and cheat each other out of the money. But in the end, they may just learn that when you gamble on love, you win against all odds.

Available in single-disc theatrical cut ($29.98 SRP) and two-disc extended ($34.98 SRP) versions, both are presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen with English DD5.1 Surround, French and Spanish Dolby Surround and English and Spanish subtitles. The “Extended Jackpot Edition” also features Digital Copy and over two-hours of extras including:

• Audio Commentary with Director and Editor
• Sitting Down with Cameron and Ashton
• From the Law Firm of Stephen J. Hader, Esq.
• DVD Extra Time with Zach Galifianakis
• Gag reel
• An Inside Look at “Marley and Me”
• DVD trailers
• Digital Copy

According to BharatTextile.com Ashton will be in the fall/winter campaign for Pepe Jeans. The pictures were shot on location at the Zorthian Ranch in Altadena, California. I have added two preview shots to the gallery you can check them out below.

Miss Guided has been nominated for a Teen Choice Award in the category “Choice TV: Breakout Show”.

What Happens In Vegas has also been nominated for “Bromantic Comedy” and Ashton has been nominated for “Actor Comedy”.

Ashton Kutcher is a busy man…

More details on the some of the interactive new media properties being created by Katalyst Media (the production company created by Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg).

Last week Kutcher and Goldberg gave me a preview of some of the new properties and the business model behind it. Next week the two will be meeting with a number of big media buyers at Internet Week in New York to show them five or so of the new properties.

One of the properties they’ll be showcasing: Blah Blah Blah (to be at the domain Blahgirls.com per the image above, but the site is not yet live). It will be a daily cartoon gossip show hosted by “Britney, Tiffany and Krystle” that aims to be “like if Beavis & Butthead were drama queens, had PMS, cat fights, fashion reports, shopping sprees, and of course, lots of juicy GOSSIP!” The show will be set in Krystle’s bedroom - the preview version I saw had them watching a real video on a cartoon television and commenting on it. And yes, it was pretty funny.

Katalyst is also saying they’ll be packaging the episodes for television as well, and have a deal with a network in place. Comedy Central or MTV are the obvious guesses, but I actually don’t know who they’re partnering with.
