Proving she’s either incredibly smart or pretty stupid, Glee‘s Lea Michele decided now would be a good time to discuss how fidelity-challenged Ashton Kutcher flashed her on the set of New Year’s Eve. “He really takes everything so seriously, but then he would also make me laugh so hard and play pranks on me,” she said. “One day, I opened up a door and he was supposed to be there fully clothed and he wasn’t. That was awesome.” It reads a little differently in light of his recent antics, don’t you think? [E!]
In other Ashton news, he decided to have “a little dialogue on the state of honesty” with his good friend the internet. “We are our own editors and publishers and printers,” he said. “People can bastardize the truth in any way, shape or form that they want. A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can leave someone’s lips.” [NYDN]

Halle Berry is responsible for a ferry crash that killed the skipper of a French fishing boat. Sort of.

I’m an idiot because after that I slept very badly,” he said. “She was jumping from everywhere like a cat. She is very beautiful. She was wearing sexy outfit.” [Daily Mail]
