HOLLYWOOD -- You can start calling
Ashton Kutcher the multi-million dollar
man! Word is he'll be back next season
on "Two And a Half Men" for $1 million
an episode. But before he starts shooting
his second season, he'll start shooting
"Jobs," the Steve Jobs biopic about the
late Apple tycoon. Looking at pictures
of Jobs from his youth reveals he and
Ashton could be twins. Job's former
partner at Apple, Steve Wozniak, a
former "Dancing With the Stars" con-
testant, has given his blessing and says,
"Steve would have approved of Ashton
playing him."

Carol Burnett
celebrates her 79th
birthday on April 26.
Seems like we met
only yesterday when
I was 11 and she was
26 and starring at The
Phoenix Theatre in
"Once Upon a Mat-
tress," later to move
to Broadway, while
moonlighting on
"The Garry Moore
Show." Her variety
show, "The Carol Burnett Show," ran
for 11 years on CBS. Carol maintains
the networks couldn't afford to produce
a show like hers today, which is one of
the reasons she hasn't return to weekly
television.
Outside of a few guest shots on TV
shows and voice-overs in two animated
films, "Horton Hears a Who" ('08) and
"The Secret World of Arrietty" this
year, she stays close to home with Brian
Miller, her husband of 10 years. He's
a drummer and contractor for the Hol-
lywood Bow ! Orchestra, and 23 years
younger than she. Oh Carol, always a
trendsetter ... you put the "cou-cou" in
cougar before it was even a TV series !
