Ashton Kutcher Dating Video Spoof Pulled From Web Over Racism Controversy

So ever since we posted about that new Ashton Kutcher dating video on Wednesday, people have been up in arms about one particular character that Ashton spoofs in the vid.

In the ad Ashton plays "Raj," a Hollywood producer complete with brownface makeup and a heavy Indian accent. This didn't sit well with Indian-Americans and was pulled from the Popchips website.

One criticism came from entrepreneur Anil Dash who said:

"I can't imagine I have to explain this to anyone in 2012, but if you find yourself putting brown makeup on a white person in 2012 so they can do a bad 'funny' accent in order to sell potato chips, you are on the wrong course," he wrote on his website.

The company's CEO posted this message:

"We received a lot feedback about the dating campaign parody we launched today and appreciate everyone who took the time to share their point of view. Our team worked hard to create a light-hearted parody featuring a variety of characters that was meant to provide a few laughs. We did not intend to offend anyone. I take full responsibility and apologize to anyone we offended."

What do you think of the ad? Was it harmful or just playful?

Rihanna's Mother Dishes On Her Daughter's Love-Life With Ashton Kutcher At 'Time 100 Gala'

Note to celebrities who bring their parents along to events: They like to talk and tell all the juicy details of your love-life.

Case in point: Rihanna brought her mother, Monica Braithwaite to the Time 100 Gala at Lincoln Center on Tuesday night where she dished on Rihanna's late night romps with Ashton Kutcher last month.

Rihanna tweeted about the incident:

"Well....2nt consisted of us singing Bob Marley, drinkin Vintage Scotch, and my mom thinkin a joke abt Kutcher was appropriate! #Thxtime100."

At least she got it out of the way now that Ashton is dating Mila Kunis.

Hey, everyone makes mistakes. Just not every mother tells.

Miranda Lambert Upset With Ashton Kutcher Making Fun Of Country Music At ACMs

Ashton Kutcher made like Jon Hamm and has pissed off some in the country music world.

At the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday night, Kuther was presenting Female Vocalist of the Year award while wearing a ten-gallon hat and over-the-top county western garb while singing George Strait's, I Cross My Heart.

The winner of that award was Miranda Lambert who took Kutcher to task over his presenting antics.

She tweeted on Monday:

"Was Ashton Kutcher making fun of country or is it just me? Watching it back now and I'm kinda wondering?"

Another country star Justin Moore tweeted:

"Seen Ashton kutcher at the acms tonight. What a douche! I don't care for people making a mockery of the way country artists' dress."

Kutcher even appeared at the after party for the awards show wearing the same outfit.

"People were just like 'why is he here?' - he has nothing to do with country," one attendee told Us "Nobody laughed at his dumb jokes, in fact he came off as rude. He didn't mingle."

So looks like Ashton might have to keep his day job, because his country career was about as successful as Jessica Simpson's -- than again, he didn't get booed off stage!

Steve Wozniak Praises Ashton Kutcher Pick to Play Steve Jobs

It was announced this week that Ashton Kutcher would play Steve Jobs in an upcoming bio-pic on the Apple co-founder.

Steve Wozniak told TMZ of the announcement:

"The fear that many might have is that Ashton was selected because he's 'hot' right now. But I feel that his selection was done in the most professional manner. And I'm glad that he's onboard. I think he'll put a lot into it and that he cares about this particular subject."

That might be just as crediable as Steve Jobs giving his graces to Ashton.

The film starts shooting in May.
