Demi and Ashton Can Be Obnoxious in Middle-America, Too

May 31, 2006 at 9:15 AM | 0 Comments


Cradle-robber Demi Moore and MTV jester Ashton Kutcher made a surprise roadside stop at a West Des Moines bar this weekend. Stars--they're just like us! If you live in Iowa, that is.

The ambiguously preganant couple was traveling through town to see some of Ashton's old friends from Homestead when they stopped off for a few cold ones at a joint called Aura--and stayed till closing time.

We say this is actually pretty cool of them, keepin' it real in Iowa. Unfortunately they blew it when they demanded a helicopter to take them home. (And you thought it was hard to get a cab to take you to Brooklyn.) The bar manager called every pilot he knew, with no luck, and eventually some poor security personnel had to drive them the 100 miles back to Ashton's crashpad. Let this be a lesson: Always secure your helicopter ride home before a night of drinking, lest you find yourself in Des Moines without a flight home.
