Dude, Where's My Career?

We all know Ashton Kutcher’s not Olivier, but is he really as bad as actor as the grapevine is starting to suggest? According to, Page Six, yeah. Word was that the “Punk’d” host had to drop out of Director Cameron Crowe’s new movie “Elizabethtown” because of a scheduling conflict, but a source for the tabloid suggests otherwise. "Cameron was unhappy with his read-throughs. Ashton did several and each one was worse and worse. Cameron even postponed production because he thought the readings would get better but they didn’t. At one point, Cameron suggested that Ashton take acting lessons. Soon after that, they both decided it would be best if Ashton was not in the movie." But Crowe’s representative claimed ignorance of the causes behind Kutcher’s departure, saying, "I am not aware of any of this. Schedules changed but I don’t know what transpired between (them)." Not a good year for Ashton, he was also recently let go from a Steven Soderbergh production because the Oscar-winning director was unsure whether he "was up to par professionally" due to his public profile, fuelled by his relationship with actress Demi Moore. Ouch. Thanks to the IMDB
