Apparently, Bruce Willis noticed Demi Moore's Red Bull (or whatever) addiction before it got out of hand, and he urged his ex to get help.

Willis saw Demi's health dwindling and, according to sources, tried to convince her to take care of herself:

"He was worried about her and wanted her to get better," a source tells People. "Many of her friends did the same thing, but she just wouldn't listen."
Ashton Kutcher put down his Caprihina and said goodbye to his Brazilian model friends, heading for estranged wife Demi Moore’s home.

Demi is reportedly back home after being hospitalized and both Bruce Willis and Ashton paid her a visit, because I mean, that’s what exes do, right? At least when your ex is an A-list actress and the world turns its head to look at you when she has a meltdown.

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are working through their problems at the home of Moore's ex-husband, Bruce Willis.

The couple has been staying at Willis' home in Turks and Caicos. If you're not good at geography, basically, its an island far, far away from the U.S. Let's hope it's also far, far away from Twitter.

A source tells Us Weekly, "They had to get away. Ashton's tweeting [about Penn State] was the last straw."

They're basically saying, Ashton did one too many dumb things and Demi kicked him out of America.

Last week, Kutcher stood up for Penn State football coach Joe Paterno after he was fired amidst a child-abuse sex scandal.

I know their marriage ended a long time ago, but Demi Moore can’t be feeling great about this.

Bruce Willis and his wife are expecting their first baby together, according to Life & Style magazine.

“Emma is showing!” and insider confirms to the mag. The source even goes so far as to say: “Emma is living Demi’s dream.”

Damn, low blow! It’s rumored that Demi and Ashton tried to have kids a while back but were unable to conceive. Moore said back in 2010:
Bruce Willis has had a very successful acting career, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have regrets.

Every actor has had a film they are ashamed of and Bruce claims that he has “about a dozen” of those films.

When asked if he regretted any of his films, he replied, “About a dozen. I’d love to strike them off the list.

When asked whether he had retirement on the mind, Willis said that he’s just not ready yet.

“I think I could save the world five or six more times,” he said. “Then I’m going to hand it over to Jason Statham, but right now I’m having a ball.”

And when he does retire he has one thing and one thing only his mind.

“Less fighting and more pina colada,” Willis told Hollyscoop at the Red premiere.

Bruce Willis has such a great sense of humor. We don’t think he is gonna retire any time soon.
Bruce Willis already has a gaggle of girls with ex-wife Demi Moore. But he recently married model Emma Heming, and has expressed his desire to have even more children with his second wife.

Bruce and Emma married in March of this year, and although he’s 54 years old, she’s only 31, which is the prime time to start having babies. They better do it soon though if Bruce wants to see his kids off to college!

Bruce said in an interview, "I was astonished, astounded when I met Emma… I wouldn’t be a bit surprised (if she got pregnant)."

He added, "I don't know. I don't know. You can't predict the future, can you? No one can tell what's coming!"

We wouldn’t be surprised one bit to find out Emma’s pregnant! Hollywood has officially gone baby crazy! Now the question is, will Demi and Ashton follow suit??
Rumer Willis has made quiet the name for herself in the industry. She has been in several movies and she claims that it has nothing to do with her parents being famous. She says that at the end of the day you need to have talent to get cast in a movie. She has a point!

Now that she has made a name for herself and has more acting experience, she wouldn't mind starring in a film opposite her parents, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis. Note that she has been in several films with her parents since she was a little girl, but she's always played their daughter.

She says, "Sometimes I think we helped each other by playing opposite each other. When my dad has to do a super-emotional scene, he looks at a picture of us to find the emotion. Playing his kidnapped daughter in Hostage meant he didn't have to look at the picture to get kind of tearful.

"I'd love to work with my parents again, now that I'm older. I'd love to play someone other than their daughter."

It definitely does help having Bruce Willis and Demi Moore as your parents, but you need to have your head on your shoulders if you actually want to succeed. Just look at other Hollywood screw-ups like Cameron Douglas and Redmond O'Neal. They could have used their parents names to make a name for themselves but all they did is screw their life up. Rumer is definitely in it for the long run.
Bruce Willis and his new wife Emma Heming are heating up the pages of W Magazine. The newlyweds are featured in a raunchy S&M style 17-page photo spread due out on newsstands on June 23rd.

In the article Bruce credits Emma for helping him find love again and putting his single days behind him. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Bruce on his relationship with Demi, Ashton and the Kids:
“We’ve become like a tribe. It’s generated a lot of interest because everyone can understand resentment and envy in the breakup of a marriage, but they don’t understand how I can get along with my ex like that. Demi and I made a choice to put the kids first, and we’re really lucky that it turns out we all have fun together. I still love her, and I have a lot of respect for how she lives her life.”

Bruce on their W Photo Shoot:
“Oh, it was awkward. We did stuff that I know a lot of other actors would not have done. Had I done it with another model I don’t know that I would have been as into it.”

Bruce on his feelings toward Emma:
“I hear so many people in relationships say, ‘I just need a couple of days away, or even an hour away.’ But I don’t want to be away from Emma at all. It’s the most singular relationship I’ve ever had in my life.”

Bruce on marrying 32-year-old Emma after dating a string of models:
“I went from ‘F— love’ to ‘Love is truly the answer. I spent the last 10 years single and, for the most part, unhappy. In a dark place. I never thought that being with someone else was the answer. I would say, ‘I’m alone, but I’m not lonely.’ But I was just kidding myself. Then I started hanging around Emma, and on a day-to-day basis my life became much happier.”

Bruce on his daughters Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah:
“They’re such smart kids. Way smarter than I was. They campaigned for Obama. They’re involved in the world, in politics. They know exactly what Hollywood is, and they know what it’s not, and they don’t take any of that very seriously.”

Bruce on how he now prioritizes his marriage over his career:
“I hear so many people in relationships say, ‘I just need a couple of days away, or even an hour away.’ But I don’t want to be away from Emma at all. It’s the most singular relationship I’ve ever had in my life.”

Not exactly the best wedding present…Just days after Bruce Willis tied the knot in paradise with Emma Heming, his ski home in Fairfield, Idaho has burned to the ground.

The 50-year old lodge at Soldier Mountain went up in flames early this morning. Crew first got a call around 7:30, but they say by the time they reached the property, all they could do was contain the flames, and the house wasn’t saved.

The fire was said to have started near a fireplace in the north end of the lodge, but the official cause has not been determined.

Both Willis’ house and a rental shop next door were destroyed, and two other buildings sustained damage. Firefighters say the snow on the ground kept the fire from spreading further.

Fairfield Volunteer Fire Chief Wayne Marolf told reporters on the scene, "The two buildings are completely gone and nothing left inside could be saved. It appears to be accident, we don't see any foul play, but we want to rule that out to make sure.”

Willis had reportedly been looking into expanding the resort, which would have entailed tearing down the main lodge. It’s terrible what happened, but at least no one was hurt in the fire!

If you ask Bruce Willis how he met his new wife Emma Heming, he'll say it was through mutual friends. But unless you consider a modeling agency a mutual friend, his story isn't accurate.

According to the New York Post, Emma was practically casted as his new girlfriend. "During the casting of 'Perfect Stranger', Bruce was very involved with the casting. In fact, you could say he was extremely involved no matter how minor the role."

He reportedly went through a ton of models headshots and when the girls he chose came in to read, he was there at the audition. "It was odd for the star of a movie to do so, but at the time he was single and I guess he needed a date," said the source.

The casting sessions obviously went well because "He started dating Tamara Feldman, with whom he coincidentally enough had a sex scene," the insider added.

But Tamara wasn't the only one who caught his attention. When Emma came in for a reading, he was quite taken by her too. Bruce reportedly started dating both gorgeous women, but obviously Emma won at the end.

Bruce and Emma got married last weekend at his home in Parrot Cay in Turks and Caicos. Talk about hitting the jackpot!
