EXCLUSIVE Ashton Kutcher sparks concern with bandaged arm on vacation with Mila Kunis for 10th wedding anniversary
Ashton Kutcher sparked concern wearing a wrist guard while boarding a yacht called Eminence alongside his second wife Mila Kunis during their 10th wedding anniversary trip to Venice, Italy on Thursday. The 47-year-old venture capitalist sported a white-patterned short-sleeve button-up, orange shorts, white slip-on shoes, and a navy-blue baseball cap for their cruise. Ashton's (born Christopher) wrist guard could be a result of injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, or his autoimmune condition vasculitis - which he said he 'fully recovered' from in 2022. The Family Guy actress - turning 42 next month - looked leggy in a classic white T-shirt French-tucked into Daisy Duke cut-off shorts. Mila (born Milena) also wore dark sunglasses as sipped on an icy beverage while taking in the Venetian view. Last month, Kutcher share a bizarre tweet declaring Kunis his 'celebrity match' writing: 'Honestly, she's a great fit.' The Sound Ventures general partner - who boasts 15.9M X followers - then proceeded to use AI to outline their vibe compatibility, intellect/humor, and social/cultural fluidity. 'If I were casting the movie version of your life, Mila Kunis would 100% be on the shortlist to play your partner,' the AI text read on June 9. 'She matches the tone - smart, loyal, warm, unfiltered, and fiercely independent with a twinkle in the eye.' The Hollywood couple were joined on their romantic getaway by a large entourage, which appeared to include the Golden Globe-nominated actress' parents Mark and Elvira. Ashton and Mila originally began dating in 2012 after getting to know each other on the set of Fox sitcom That '70s Show, which aired from 1998-2006. Kutcher and Kunis are proud parents of 10-year-old daughter Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher and eight-year-old son Dimitri Portwood Kutcher, but they were not pictured on the fancy boat. The Goodrich producer-star changed into a summery floral frock and flip-flop sandals while fanning herself in the balmy 85F-degree heat. In 2023, the showbiz pair faced substantial backlash over penning letters requesting leniency from the judge overseeing their former That '70s Show co-star Danny Masterson's 30-year rape sentence. And last year, Ashton faced backlash over his early aughts friendship with Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who's incarcerated at MDC Brooklyn's Special Housing Unit ahead of his October 3 sentencing for two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution.

Ashton is set to make his acting comeback as a tech billionaire in Ryan Murphy and Matt Hodgson's 10-episode adaptation of the 2016 graphic novel The Beauty - coming soon to FX - alongside Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope, and Rebecca Hall. Mila currently voices angsty teen-turned-lifeguard Meg Griffin in the 23rd season of Seth MacFarlane's animated sitcom Family Guy, which airs Thursdays on Fox. Kunis joined the Knives Out universe with her role as police chief Geraldine Scott in Rian Johnson's three-quel Wake Up Dead Man - premiering December 12 on Netflix - alongside Daniel Craig, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Jeremy Renner, and Kerry Washington. The Ukrainian-born beauty originally came to the States, age 7, on a religious refugee visa.

One of Lauren Sánchez's wedding dresses goes missing
A dress belonging to Lauren Sánchez reportedly went missing following her opulent three-day wedding to Jeff Bezos in Venice. While an Italian newspaper claimed the outfit was stolen by a gatecrasher, sources close to the couple denied it was a theft and stated no police complaint was filed. The lavish nuptials, attended by 200 guests including numerous celebrities, were met with protests from locals concerned about overtourism. Sánchez wore a custom Dolce & Gabbana gown for the ceremony, with the entire wedding estimated to have cost between $46 and $55 million. The newlyweds are now reportedly on their honeymoon in Taormina, Sicily, staying at the San Domenico Palace after travelling on Bezos's superyacht.

Joe Rogan stunned by who really ended America's 'woke period': 'It's insane'
Joe Rogan was left in awe after the CEO of a billionaire-dollar tech company revealed who he thinks has ended America's 'woke' culture. Amjad Masad, the co-founder of Replit, a cloud-based coding platform, confidently declared that Elon Musk erased an alleged oppressive ideology that took over society, particularly within the tech industry. During the latest episode of the Joe Rogan Experience on July 2, Masad claimed that many companies recently went through a 'woke period where you couldn't talk about certain things,' like the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. 'Has that gone away?' Rogan asked, leading Masad to smile and reply, 'Yeah, yeah, totally gone away.' When Rogan followed up by asking what changed the culture so quickly, Masad simply said 'Elon.' The Replit CEO then added that Musk's purchase of Twitter (now called X) completely removed the stigma of voicing opposing viewpoints in public and online. 'Buying Twitter is the single most impactful thing for free speech. Especially on these issues of being able to talk freely about a lot of subjects that are more sensitive,' Masad explained. Masad, a Jordanian-American whose family is from Palestine, noted that he had faced fierce criticism from colleagues for talking publicly about the situation in Gaza. Despite calling himself a 'moderate Palestinian,' Masad said he has been called anti-Semitic for supporting a two-state solution, which includes protections for Israelis, in the region. While speaking about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Rogan claimed that society was devolving into groups of people being convinced by their leaders that another group of people were their enemies. 'It's f****** insane. And the fact that it's still going on in 2025, with all we know about corruption and the theft of resources and power and influence, it's crazy that this is still happening,' Rogan said during the podcast. Masad then said he hoped the internet was starting to reach its potential as a platform for opening minds and removing the 'veil of propaganda and ignorance.' 'It was starting to happen in like 2010, 2011. And then you saw YouTube start to close down. You saw Facebook start to close down, Twitter. And suddenly, we had like this period of darkness,' the tech entrepreneur said. Although Rogan said that this censorship initially had good intentions of trying to weed out hate speech, it quickly went too far when tech companies began silencing 'malinformation.' Malinformation is a term used to describe truthful information that is still censored because social media companies and governments claim these facts are harmful to the overall public good. 'That's crazy. You're turning adults into infants, and you're turning the state into God. This is the secular religion. This is the religion of people that are atheists,' Rogan warned. 'The west was never about that. The west was about individual liberty,' Masad replied. The two men then shifted back to Musk's takeover of X, with Rogan arguing that the changes the CEO instituted 'opened up discussion.' While Rogan said that the changes meant to promote more freedom , such as reduced content moderation and restoring suspended accounts, allowed more hate speech to sneak back into X, he argued that more people are now able to tell the difference between news and propaganda. 'You have a lot of people that are recognizing actual true facts that are very inconvenient to the narrative that's displayed on mainstream media,' Rogan said. After Musk purchased Twitter in 2022, he noted that his goal was to 'maximize free speech.' Musk has also repeatedly called out what he referred to as the 'woke mind virus' that was threatening society. During an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience in November, Musk blamed woke culture for attempting to censor humor and satire, with polarizing topics like social justice essentially becoming off-limits to criticism. 'The woke ideology makes humor illegal. There are so many humor no-fly zones. You can't make fun of anything,' Musk told Rogan in 2024. 'At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people a shield to be mean and cruel, armored in false virtue,' Musk added during a 2021 interview with satire website the Babylon Bee. In the wake of Musk's acquisition of X, other major tech and social media platforms have caved to mounting pressure to roll back censorship online. In March, lawmakers in Washington subpoenaed officials at Google, demanding they turn over company records tied to the censorship of Americans during the Biden presidency. Republicans have long accused the Biden Administration of pressuring major companies into censoring free speech during and after the coronavirus pandemic, which Rogan and Masan also criticized during the July 2 podcast. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg also publicly confessed that both Meta and Facebook censored conservative opinions on an 'industrial scale' during this time. Zuckerberg said the Biden Administration 'repeatedly pressured' the company to remove posts government officials claimed were 'COVID misinformation,' even if the posts were just humor or satire. To Masan's point that the 'woke period' has ended, Facebook has since shut down its third-party fact-checking program, replacing it with Community Notes, a crowdsourced content moderation feature that allows users to add context, corrections, or clarifications to posts online, just like X does.
