Apr 3 2009Demi Moore stops suicide attempt with Twitter
Demi Moore's Twitter addiction thwarted a suicide attempt after receiving a disturbing tweet last night. (God, I hate you Twitter.) E! News reports:
"I'm just wondering if anyone cares that I'm gonna kill myself now," she wrote to the star. Serious or not, her previous messages that hour--not directed at any one particular person--showed the Silicon Valley girl contemplating suicide and wavering on the decision.
Shortly thereafter, the girl messaged the Ghost star again. "Getting a knife, a big one that is sharp. Going to cut my arm down the whole arm so it doesn't waste time," she wrote.
Moore immediately replied, "Hope you are joking," sharing the scenario with her nearly 400,000 followers.
The brief exchange spurred many people to action, and the San Jose Police Department was flooded with calls on the matter.
Like any good Twittee, Demi updated her followers on the situation. And so did Ashton because they do everything together. *sigh*:
"Everyone I was very torn about responding or retweeting that woman's post but felt uncomfortable just letting it go," Moore told her followers an hour later. In another post, she wrote, "Thanks everyone for reaching out to the San Jose PD I am told they are aware and no need to call anymore. I do not know this woman."
A few hours later, the celebrity tweeted a confirmation of the events' validity. "It is my understanding that the situation was not a joke and that through the collective efforts here, action was taken to provide help."
Or, as husband Ashton Kutcher wrote on his own feed: "wifey reported a suicide attempt based on a at reply tweet she got and saved someones life. the woman is in the hospital now."
Great. So Demi Moore just validated the entire Twitter community which apparently consists of suicidal maniacs, her douche of a husband and Heidi Montag. Narcissism: It saves lives - as long as you look at me!

Demi and Twitter are true American heroes!
6. Famous Plastic - April 3, 2009 1:48 PM
Wow...She took the time to write "I hope you are joking". She's a hero!!!
7. Jrz - April 3, 2009 1:52 PM
Why was the girl going to kill herself? Was she watching, "Dude, Where's My Car?" and "Striptease" back to back?
8. the truth? you can't handle the truth! - April 3, 2009 1:53 PM
Click the link - on the left is the glamorous Demi, on the right is the Demi (or: mom-mi) that Ashton wakes up to.

Fish, I hate to break it to you but the Fish community also consists of suicidal maniacs, her douche of a husband and Heidi Montag.
10. Photoshop Police - April 3, 2009 1:58 PM
hey!!!!!
I'll give you "Striptease", but "Dude, Where's My Car?" was GOOD (stupid, but good)!
11. the "actually" guy - April 3, 2009 1:58 PM
Actually, Ashton was about to reveal that the whole thing was a "punk'd" prank, but he caught a glimpse of his mommywife's angry-skull look and his genitals raced back into his body cavity (yes, again) and he pretended she saved a life.

#8 that was right after a leeches on the skin treatment just to be fair...and before bull sperm for the hair...
13. Mandy - April 3, 2009 2:08 PM
Yes, that picture #8 linked was after a facial (no, not the Ashton type, although somehow I think he's the receiver, but anyway) but still, her face probably looks something like that first thing in the morning. I'm just waiting for the interview where she says "Ashton does the cutest thing where when he wakes up, he pulls the blankets over his head just like a little boy! I'm up and dressed by the time he finally gets out of bed!"

This story is amazing. I find it extremely uplifting to hear about our celebrities taking 2 seconds out of their valuable time to bat out a sentence on their blackberry - AND SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE.
Wow. How do they do it? I can imagine Demi being in a club somewhere... snorting some coke and gulping down another Cosmo - you know, doing God's work... and somehow, she finds the time and energy to glance at her Blackberry - and spies some random message from a desparing fan. I can see her poking at some buttons and FORMS A COMPLETE SENTENCE, hits "send", and BAM!!!!!!
There were a million other things she could've been doing. Like belching. Or snorting another line in a bathroom stall. Maybe get into a fight with the club DJ. Or maybe mumble something incoherent to one of her hangers-on. Or just sit there staring at nothing. BUT NO! She looked at her BlackBerry and SAVED SOMEONE'S LIFE.
Please take a moment and let that sink in.

17. Dr. Phil - April 3, 2009 2:17 PM
I'm always secretly disappointed when somebody's suicide attempt is thwarted.
18. Jeezy - April 3, 2009 2:18 PM
@10: You have absolutely no taste.
19. mike - April 3, 2009 2:19 PM
At least we know now how Twitter is going to be ruined.
20. tweet - April 3, 2009 2:22 PM
im just wondering if somebody can rescue me from a scary old lady who violates me every nite. signed ashton. wait not ashton, uh, "Bruce". wait...
21. cnn - April 3, 2009 2:24 PM
The full story is that by the time Demi's plastic surgeon explained to her there are other types of doctors, too, and that this suicidal girl needed something other than an emergency facelift, others had intervened.
22. Anna - April 3, 2009 2:25 PM
This woman has the most brilliant plastic surgeon on earth. She looks fantastic however old she is.
23. meme - April 3, 2009 2:25 PM
only twats twitter.
24. Deacon Jones - April 3, 2009 2:26 PM
She looks like she's packing on the lbs in the face and arms.
Geez, stop swallowing those loads Demi, they'll get you every time..
25. obligatory - April 3, 2009 2:30 PM
So Deacon, you've got some weight to drop?
26. Person - April 3, 2009 2:30 PM
She looks stunning.
27. E! - April 3, 2009 2:33 PM
THESE are the real heroes! Fuck those 9/11 firefighters. Fuck 'em in their decaying buttholes.
28. Rhialto - April 3, 2009 2:33 PM
Maybe she's here.
29. Darth - April 3, 2009 2:35 PM
Is twitter this addictive.
30. Nero - April 3, 2009 2:38 PM
Who's this gypsy woman.
31. mamamiasweetpeaches - April 3, 2009 2:39 PM
Texting"Hope you are joking" is hardly "saving someones life".
32. Deacon Jones - April 3, 2009 2:55 PM
@25
No way dude. I only swallow if I'm in love
33. Really? - April 3, 2009 2:57 PM
We're soooo lucky someone important like, Demi Moore was there to save the day. I heard they're going to start routing 911 calls directly to her from now on.
Demi Moore is a good looking woman, who has become famous for being good looking and being able to pretend she's someone else convincingly.
34. Brandon - April 3, 2009 3:01 PM
Once I heard what twitter was, I laughed and thought it was the most ridiculous sounding thing in the world. Now that it's actually getting popular, I too, want to kill myself.
35. RichPort's Ghost - April 3, 2009 3:06 PM
Funny, I twittered her "Look outside your window, I'm ejaculating on your car" and all she did was call the cops... though I did hear Ashton in the background screaming "Let me see! Let me see!".
36. Jerry G - April 3, 2009 3:20 PM
@35 - did someone punch you in your pussy today or something? Fucking idiot.
37. Deacon Jones - April 3, 2009 3:40 PM
@36 LOL....what the fuck, I thought Rich had a good one
38. justifiable - April 3, 2009 3:54 PM
The constant use of "wifey" is just gagtastic.
39. RichPort's Ghost - April 3, 2009 4:43 PM
#36 - If by "did someone punch you in your pussy today or something?" you meant "is Jerry G a misersble humorless fuck?" then the answer is yes.
40. i hate twitter - April 3, 2009 4:57 PM
twitter is retarded. i hate it.
41. Bobaloo - April 3, 2009 5:21 PM
18, what does taste have to do with humor?
42. Courtyardpigeon - April 3, 2009 5:32 PM
My goodness this woman is hot. Forget Paris and all those I'm-not-sure-why-I'm-famous idiot women and give me Demi any day of the week, month, or year.
43. sarah - April 3, 2009 6:10 PM
She sounded like a waste of space anyway. Should have let her do it.
44. America - April 3, 2009 8:41 PM
Facebook is waaaaay worse than Twitter. People who use it need to get a life!
45. Wicked Witch - April 3, 2009 9:27 PM
Demi is such a media whore. Bruce marries a better looking girl, and she just can't have it. Who cares, in another year or two she'll have melted.
46. Ugly Betty - April 3, 2009 9:29 PM
It was most likely one of her own daughters.
47. kels - April 3, 2009 10:09 PM
I'm so sick of hearing about Twitter.
I'm fairly certain that there's no one on planet earth that I care about enough to want to know what they're doing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
48. gerard Vandenberg - April 4, 2009 1:28 AM
tell me: HOW, on earth, SHE CAN KISS WITH NOO LIPS, folks?
49. mikeock - April 4, 2009 7:17 AM
I'm going to say this just once: Anybody who "twitters" is a fucking moron. Twitter that Ashton.

Her huge veneers make me very uncomfortable.
You people seem to be used to them.
They are so big and white that they make her gums look purple.
52. drzfinest - August 10, 2009 4:37 PM
Twitter fucking sucks. Point blank. -__- & isn't Demi like 50, just like Madonna? Smh .
