Ashton Kutcher brought date to Oscars party: report

Ashton Kutcher had rumored paramour Lorene Scafaria at his side when he partied until 4:30 a.m. at Madonna’s Oscars after-party, reports say. The annual bash was co-hosted last year by Demi Moore and presumably would have been again this year had the actress not checked into rehab,

A source tells Us Weekly that Kutcher brought Scafaria, the screenwriter behind “Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist,” to the party and wasn’t shy about showing affection for the stunning brunette.

“They were affectionate,” the source said, adding that the pair mingled with Katy Perry, Cameron Diaz, Diddy, and Leonardo DiCaprio. “They held hands, and she rubbed his back and neck.”

Meanwhile, Kutcher’s estranged wife Moore missed the party, as she is currently in rehab at an undisclosed location, seeking treatment for “substance abuse” issues and “exhaustion” after being hospitalized on Jan. 25.

This isn’t the first time that Kutcher has been spotted with Scafaria since his split with Moore in November. The two traveled to Italy over the holidays, along with Matt Mazzant, an employee of Kutcher’s Katalyst Films. While Kutcher tweeted a photo of himself with his two travel companions, witnesses saw Kutcher and Scafaria out solo in Pisa, having a “romantic lunch” at Pizzeria Trattoria Toscana.

“They held hands,” a source said at the time. “They shared spaghetti, and he paid.”

While reps for both Kutcher and Scafaria deny that they are dating, and say that the pair are “just friends,” sources tell Us Weekly that the two have been interested in each other for a while. They reportedly met a year ago when Kutcher read for a role in her movie “Seeking a Friend for the End of the World,” a romantic comedy about a man trying to find love in the “end of days.” Scafaria was reported to be dating actor Adam Brody at the time.

A source alleges to Us Weekly, “Ashton started seeing her while each was in a relationship.”
