Celebrity Stupid – it’s all about family, Hollywood style.

this probably could have been avoidedNone of us should be surprised anymore when a Hollywood celebrity uses the word “family” to refer to the often oddball permutation of their boy/girlfriends, first-second-tenth spouses, partners, kids, stepkids, and/or third-world members of their entourage who have come to “seem” like family. In this day and age, it’s all fair game.

But should we feel confused by today’s Celebrity Stupid, who seems a little too anxious to cover all the bases of fulfilling one’s capacity for familial love?

“[Celebrity]: We waited to get married until we felt like we were already married…There is not a human being I could love more than [my stepkids]…If I had a daughter of my blood, I wouldn’t love that child any more. I feel like I have three kids, and we’ll see whether we’re given another child.

But maybe there’s more here than meets the eye. Find out how today’s Celebrity Stupid may actually be a PR Genius In An Idiot’s Pair of Shoes, after the jump.

it takes more than marriage to make a punk a father

Ashton Kutcher is today’s Celebrity Stupid! Speaking to PARADE Magazine – the only publication that makes People look like a bunch of trash-talking hardasses – the young punk’dster just can’t stop talking about his amazing marriage!

“Kutcher: We waited to get married until we felt like we were already married…There is not a human being I could love more than those girls and their mom. If I had a daughter of my blood, I wouldn’t love that child any more. I feel like I have three kids, and we’ll see whether we’re given another child.

Honestly, it might be a bit unfair to refer to Kutcher as “stupid” here, because he’s actually following the Celebrity Pullquote Handbook rather smartly. Observe:

  • He reinforces his commitment to children sired by another man – which should be a given when one marries a woman with kids, but in Hollywood certainly bears well-publicized repeating. That way, during the inevitable divorce proceedings, Kutcher’s still got documented support of his all-around Good Guy-ness.
  • He makes sure to let us know that any and all future children will receive no more or no less “love” than that of its step-siblings – a very important message point when one considers that someday Kutcher could potentially be dating Rumer, Scout and/or Tallulah Willis.
  • He refers to the possibility of future children as being “given” to him – excellent! No sense in locking down any present or future wives into having natural childbirths when it’s just as simple to be “given” a PR-friendly kid from some faraway land.

So allow us to backpedal: Kutcher’s dedication to family and children should be admired and respected and should not be viewed as anything but the loving observations of a simple man who has nothing at all to gain by telling us about them.

Ashton Kutcher costars with Kevin Costner in the upcoming movie The Guardian, opening September 15th.
