Ashton Kutcher Explains Twitter to Kelly Ripa

GeekSugar — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 11:13:35 -0700

I normally find Live! With Regis and Kelly quite entertaining - especially with the banter between co-hosts - but yesterday my favorite celeb geek king, Ashton Kutcher, not only joined Kelly Ripa in a hosting chair, but also he brought along his beloved MacBook Pro. . . so things got really interesting. Within minutes, Ashton was not only divulging details about his Twitter obsession, but he got computer-phobe Kelly tweeting as well!

To listen to Ashton's thoughts on Twitter etiquette, just read more.

Tech Spotting: Ashton Kutcher Is an Apple Addict

GeekSugar — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 07:33:22 -0700

Tech-savvy Ashton Kutcher is certainly deserving of our celeb geek king title. What with his avid twittering habits, his new website projects, attendance at tech conferences, and love for gadgets, he certainly tops the list of celebrities who are connected in the tech scene.

On Wednesday, Ashton made a cameo on the hit show Diggnation at the Palms Casino Resort. Co-host Alex Albrecht had his signature red Dell with him throughout the show, while Digg founder Kevin Rose was using his covered up MacBook Pro. Who else was rocking a MacBook Pro? Ashton. An iPhone 3G plus MacBook Pro tells me this guy is no stranger to an Apple store . . . just sayin'.

Ashton Talks Tech in Portfolio Magazine

GeekSugar — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 04:03:44 -0800

In the latest issue of Portfolio magazine, newly crowned celeb geek king Ashton Kutcher tells us that although he isn't good at spelling stepdaughter Tallulah's name (it is a hard name to spell), he is good at math, and isn't afraid to make the jump from the red carpet to the tech world.

With Ashton and his company, Katalyst Media, involved in so many projects, it's pretty hard to keep up. There's a custom advertising site called Saysme, the ooma Internet phone company he helped to launch, and of course, Blah Girls, which drew some criticism from Silicon Valley insiders at last year's TechCrunch conference saying it "offered little in the way of new technology."

Not letting a little negativity get him down, Ashton tells us in March's issue to keep an eye out for his new venture, a game show called Opportunity Knocks, which will hit ABC later this year.

Since it's Friday, I couldn't think of a better excuse to bring you three heapings of techjoyment - because I know and you know, it's been awhile! Ashton is the geeky leader of the pack with his sexy and sleek iPhone 3G; then there's Barack rockin' what appears to be his beloved BlackBerry; and last but not least, Tom Cruise snapping some photos with his BB Bold at Daytona this week. Allow me to label them our three cell phone musketeers.

GeekSugar — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 04:30:44 -0800

While other celebrities are busy boasting about how they don't know how to turn on a computer, Ashton Kutcher is right on top of tech. He's outfitted with gadgets and has come to love social networking and learning how to be a part of the Internet revolution. He's got his hands in so many different areas of tech that I now must crown him the reigning tech celebrity king (trust me, it's a pretty important title). Check out the evidence in the slideshow.

Demi Moore Is Feeling the Twitter Love

GeekSugar — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 07:31:33 -0800

I seriously thought my life was complete when I realized I could follow my favorite Mad Men characters on Twitter (hehe). Guess again! In the last forty-eight hours, Senator John McCain started tweeting to his heart's content and now Demi Moore has jumped on the Twitter-train as well.

With the adorable mrskutcher username, Demi admits in a Tweet that her geeky profile pic is definitely her:

"Ah yes I must admit the photo is really me. . .super geek material I am afraid. Better than when I wore a patch on top of the glasses!"

Glad to see her partner-in-crime, Twitter user aplusk, has been showing her the Twitter ropes!

geeksugar Chats With MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe

Just two months shy of geeking out with Samantha Ronson at the TechCrunch50/MySpace Party, I found myself at another fabulous MySpace party last night at the beautiful Old Mint building in San Francisco - hello?! Lionel Richie performed! This time, it was a MySpace 2.0 party celebrating MySpace Music and the latest partnership between Ashton Kutcher's production company, Katalyst Media, and MySpace. The second season of Kutcher's web series Blah Girls is expected to debut on MySpace early next year - in addition to all previous episodes from season one.

Last night PopSugar caught up with Ashton to chat about how his step-daughters played a role in creating his new web animation series Blah Girls, and I got the chance to talk with MySpace CEO about MySpace Music and what else we can expect from MySpace in the next year. Here's what he had to say:

On MySpace Music: "We've gotten a lot done in the last year. Obviously MySpace music is one of the biggest ventures that we've done. We have a new profile type that we're rolling out really soon where you can customize your profile and have any kind of background you want and that will be really cool. Complete redesign - and in addition to that we'll be adding nearly every mobile feature - a lot of exciting stuff."
On what the redesign will entail: "More music and then tons of videos and then more functionality around the music where you'll be able to take it with you."

Ashton Kutcher Pimps Out the Nikon D90 D-SLR

GeekSugar — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:02:18 -0700

Who better to showcase Nikon's fancy new camera, the D90 D-SLR ($1,000) than their sexy spokesman Ashton Kutcher - who we've previously spotted with the Nikon Coolpix compact cam. The D90 is raising a lot of eyebrows since it's the first D-SLR in the entire world to shoot HD video in three different motion JPEG formats: 320-x-216 pixels, 640-x-424 pixels, and 1,280-x-720 pixels. And with 12.3-megapixel image quality, in-camera editing that allows you to straighten, reduce red eye, or add Fisheye effects and more, the D90 lives up to all of its expectations. Check out Kutcher with the cam below!
