For the past few days, Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) has been in a “Twitter War” with CNN (@cnnbrk) to see which user of the micro-blogging service could reach the hallowed level of 1 million followers first … and last night, a winner was determined and Ashton Kutcher came out on top. From what I understand, Ashton managed to break the million follower mark ahead of CNN by just 12,000 to win the competition … and in celebration, Ashton is making a donation of 10,000 mosquito nets to the charity Malaria No More (tho, I gotta say, a donation of 1,000,000 nets would’ve been more apropos, don’t you think?). Here are some photos of Ashton and his wife Demi Moore (@mrskutcher) celebrating the win last night and some deets about the Twitter War:

Take that CNN. Ashton Kutcher, 31, has become the first Twitter user (@aplusk) to reach more than one million “followers.” For the past few days, he’d been locked in a race with CNN’s breaking news feed — (@cnnbrk), but just before midnight Thursday he became the first “Twitter millionaire.” Around 1:30 he tweeted, “Victory is ours!!!!!!!!” and posted a twitpic of the win. Kutcher says he’s donating 10,000 mosquito nets to the medical charity Malaria No More to celebrate, and the video-game publisher Electronic Arts says the millionth follower will become a character in “The Sims.” Plus, there’s the promised ding-dong-ditch of Ted Turner’s Atlanta home to look forward to! Stay tuned for his appearance on Oprah Friday, where he plans to teach Winfrey how to Twitter.

If anything, this really goes to show how quickly Twitter has crossed over from being a fun new online social networking site to THE most talked about new fad on the Internets. I only hope that all of this Twitter saturation doesn’t kill all the fun that goes along with the service. I had a great time posting tweets on my Twitter profile (@trentvanegas) last night from the Britney Spears concert at the Staples Center. It’s really fun sharing thoughts, observations and photos in real time with anyone interested anywhere in the world … especially among friends. Now Ashton Kutcher has 1,000,000 people following him to read/see whatever he has to put out there … here’s hoping he uses this new power for good rather than evil. Congrats Ashton, I’m not sure what this accomplishment wins you but I suppose the bragging rights of being the first Twitter user to have 1 million followers should be enough to keep you pretty happy for a while … at least until the next Internet fad comes along.

Yesterday we saw a few very interesting photos of actor Ashton Kutcher on the French set of his new film Five Killers which is currently in production in Nice. As you may recall, a mostly nekkid Ashton was photographed straddling an anchor chain as he tried to scale aboard the ship (which is sure to make sense to the plot by the time the whole thing is completed). Today we get to see a few more pictures from the set of Five Killers … this time, Ashton is photographed whippin’ some ass … er, or pretending to whip some ass, rather. At least he’s still mostly nekkid, behold:

It’s unclear if this new film is actually an action movie or if it’s a comedy or what. I don’t personally believe that Ashton can necessarily pull off his own action flick but who am I to judge … he’s mostly nekkid and, really, that’s all that matters :) I must had it to the lad for gettin’ his bod in such fine shape. The fact that we can see all of his rippling muscles from such a distance is a testament to his physical fitness. While I have no interest in seeing this film when it comes out (at least, at this point) I am very much interested in seeing more photos of the filming of this movie. Mostly nekkid is the key … bring it on.

Yesterday we were made privy to a personal video shot by Ashton Kutcher (that was immediately disseminated via his Twitter feed) of the lad getting his first chest wax on the set of his new movie Five Killers. Apparently, his stunt double got his chest waxed and, therefore, Ashton had to do the same. Today we get to see a few photos of Ashton hard at work on the set of his film showing off his cleanly-waxed chest as he scales the anchor chain of a ship. Yeah, I have no idea what it all means either but the pics are totes worth checking out:

It’s not every day that we get to see a freshly waxed gentleman straddling a huge chain like this so these pics are an extra special treat. I have *no idea* what this film is all about nor do I particularly care. I can’t even recall the last Ashton Kutcher film that I saw in theaters … or if I ever saw one in the first place … but that doesn’t mean that photos like this cannot be enjoyed. So, enjoy!!

Ashton Kutcher, who is an avid user of Twitter, just posted a tweet that points to his Facebook profile which is featuring a new cameraphone video of him getting his chest waxed. According to Kutcher himself, because his stunt double from his new film Five Killers got a chest wax then so, too, did he have to get a chest wax as well … so of course, he had to share. Here are a few screencaps from Ashton’s new vid:

Yowch! These screencaps do not look fun … and the actual video looks even less fun. After the jump, check out the video in full …

A whole slew of celebs have gotten together to appear in a PSA produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, will.i.am, Tobey Maguire and Forest Whitaker in an effort to encourage the American youth to register to vote by telling them not to vote. The vid is a lengthy 4 minutes long but is deffo worth watching in full:

An effective strategy? Or, a plea destined to fall on deaf ears? You decide.
