Amanda Peet lives in fear. On the set of A Lot Like
Love, a romance of mismatched ambitions and expectations,
she did the unthinkable: She punked costar Ashton Kutcher.
''I put shaving cream all over his Escalade. And wrote Punk'd in it,'' says the actress. ''And then I did it again on my last day of shooting.'' She currently awaits the inevitable retaliation: ''The silence is deafening.''
Granted, this was in retaliation for Kutcher TP-ing
her yard during a party. ''I was there, and Demi's girls
were with me,'' Kutcher explains. He enjoys teaching
girlfriend Moore's brood about the finer things in life,
including the miracle of two-ply. And besides: ''They
were getting bored. That's how I entertain the kids.''
Somewhere in the midst of all this madness, the
two managed to shoot a movie ''about two people who
love each other but have really bad timing,'' says
Peet. ''It's not a very broad comedy. Ashton's so good.
I fell in love with him all over again when I saw it.
Then I was a little scared that he's so much better
than I am. So I went from having a crush on him to
feeling really competitive.'' Could this be the greatest
punk of all?
