Ashton Kutcher may have been one of the heartthrobs of the early 2000s ... but he shockingly says he was once fired from a Gucci campaign for being "too fat."

The "That '70s Show" alum shared his story while chatting with Entertainment Tonight recently ... revealing he booked an exclusive campaign for Gucci in his early modeling days and flew all the way to Italy for the shoot. But, when he slipped into his pink Speedo, he says Gucci Creative Director Tom Ford said he was "too fat" and fired him.

Ashton said he was 178 pounds at the time, but didn't take it too personally and understood Ford "had a specific thing he wanted to see." He was about 19 at the time, which would have placed this situation in 1997 or 1998.

Michael Rapaport is being slammed as homophobic online for comments he made about 'Bachelor' star Colton Underwood during a new episode of "The Traitors."

Check out the clip ... the comedian went after Colton's character during the roundtable before the cast decided who to boot. Directing his anger at Colton, he said ... "Nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you."

Colton immediately assumed Michael was speaking about his sexuality, which was a secret for a majority of his life -- even when he appeared on "The Bachelor" to find a wife in 2019. Colton swiftly replied ... “There it is. You think it was fun for 29 years of my life?”

Unfortunately, the robot froze on the tracks while the huge passenger train was zooming toward it. An eyewitness gave a play-by-play as he captured the whole ordeal with his cell phone camera.

1:27 PM PT -- V. Stiviano has officially filed a police report in Los Angeles and we're told police are now actively investigating the potential hit-and-run.

A manager for V. tells TMZ ... she went to The Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey in L.A., visited friends in the bar area for about 30 minutes, walked back to her car ... and completely blacked out crossing the street, injuring her face.

Thing is ... we're told V. did NOT have any alcoholic drinks, not even water at the hotel. She woke up face down in the middle of the street with chipped teeth and asphalt burns on her face.

JoJo Siwa's officially a bride -- in the A.I.-verse, at least -- because she posted an artificially- created pic of herself on her wedding day!

The pop star shared a photo on Snapchat Tuesday ... a selfie where she's staring dreamily into the camera while wearing a white wedding dress -- with a veil pulled back framing her golden hair.

The pic has "Call me a wife!!!" written along the bottom of it ... but hold on, Siwa fans -- because it's a pretty premature post.

A man drove a U-Haul truck straight through a crowd of protesters in Los Angeles Sunday ... and the event and aftermath was caught on tape.

In videos uploaded to socials, people protesting against the regime in Iran can be heard screaming as the massive vehicle bulldozes straight through the group ... seemingly without regard for the human beings in the way.

The New York congresswoman answered media questions in Washington, D.C. Wednesday ... when a producer for Fox News offered her the chance to appear on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

Watch the clip ... AOC turns down the offer flat -- telling the producer Jesse sexually harassed and sexualized her on the network recently, and she won't help boost his ratings.

A woman just looking to blow out her candles lit herself up as her birthday celebration turned into a scene from "Apocalypse Now," nearly nuking her face!

Nozza Usmanova's loved ones recently surprised her with a birthday cake, sparklers and balloons filled with hydrogen in Bukhara, Uzbekistan ... a sweet gesture which turned into a minor Hindenburg blast.

As you may know ... hydrogen and fire mix like Democrats and Republicans these days, with the results nearly always explosive -- and this case was no exception.

Andy Cohen's not coming into the New Year with a whole new face ... telling fans he didn't get plastic surgery -- though he admits he's had a little bit of work done.

Here's the deal ... Cohen hosted New Year's Eve coverage on CNN Wednesday night with Anderson Cooper -- as he usually does -- and many viewers took to social media to question if Andy had recently undergone cosmetic surgery.

Despite suggestions of a more extensive procedure online, Cohen took to Threads to clear up the speculation ... writing, "Did the smallest amount of Botox and lost 20 pounds ! And had a lot of makeup on."

Brooklyn Beckham is once again at the center of the Beckham family drama ... this time thanks to a glaring absence from dad David Beckham's 2025 Instagram recap.

Jennifer Lopez tried serving sexy holiday vibes this Christmas ... but is getting thanked by being torn apart online by critics who claim she altered the snap with Photoshop!

Check out the mirror selfie the "Jenny from the Block" hitmaker posted on Christmas Day to wish fans a merry holiday -- she looked stunning in a form-fitting red dress with a plunging neckline that showed off her chest.

She elevated the sparkle-adorned outfit with a sophisticated updo completed with a matching bow, and added even more sparkle with a massive diamond ring on her index finger.

But, fans were quick to catch what they think is an editing fail as they noticed her orange phone is slightly bent to the side. As you can see by the comments, they had no problem calling the singer out ... who has not responded to the speculation.

A Salvation Army bell ringer got drunk during his volunteer shift and attacked the manager of a Florida Publix he was collecting money in front of on Christmas Eve.

The rogue "Santa's Helper" -- 63-year-old Steven Pavlik -- was "belligerent" and "aggressively confronting people walking by" during his shift, which is when the store's manager got involved, the Martin County Sheriff's Office says. When the manager came outside to speak to Pavlik, "he became violent" and allegedly "attempted to impale" him with the donation kettle tripod.

He then fled the scene, but deputies tracked him down to his residence, where he was cuffed and then transported to the Martin County Jail. He has been charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest. He has since been released, online records show.

Lee went on to say, "I do believe that Ashley is African American as well, but we do come from different backgrounds. When I say traditional Black girl, I mean the ones that people always stereotype.”

JD Vance is breaking his silence after Nicki Minaj let out a major verbal slip at the TPUSA summit this weekend -- accidentally referring to him as "the assassin" -- but instead of clapping back, the VP is actually taking the high road.

Vance hopped on X Monday morning and first referenced Nicki’s comments that lifting up little Black girls doesn’t mean tearing down little blonde girls ... making it clear he understood her message was one rooted in unity.

He went on to say politics has pushed people into "zero sum" thinking in recent years, pointing the finger at powerful forces that thrive on division -- and he tagged Nicki directly, saying she rejects that mindset. So apparently no beef between JD and Nicki!

A rogue firework abandoned its assignment and went shooting toward the field at "Sunday Night Football" ... and it appears the errant explosive nearly hit someone standing on the turf.

According to eyewitnesses, the scary moment went down prior to the Baltimore Ravens' home matchup against the New England Patriots ... as player introductions were underway.

While the pyrotechnic devices were supposed to shoot up to the sky, one had other plans ... and went straight to the grass.

The wild moment went down late in the second quarter of the Lions matchup against DK's Pittsburgh Steelers ... with the CBS broadcast first showing a tense convo between the veteran wide receiver and a DET fan in a bright blue wig.
