Since the breakup of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, gossip hungry fans have wondered if either party would step out with anyone or get caught on surreptitious dates after the semi-public split.

Moore has been quiet, but Kutcher has been doing press for the release of the ensemble rom-com New Year’s Eve, in which he stars in a vignette with Glee‘s Lea Michele. Michele is closer in age to 33-year-old Ashton at 25 to Moore’s 48, and gossip columns are keen to link the two for an abundance of are-they-or-aren’t-they? bits. There’s no indication Kutcher has any interest in dating the exuberant young actress, but the two looked cozy at a recent red carpet appearance for the film’s release, and during a recent interview, Michele appeared to proposition the newly-single Kutcher for New Year’s Eve shenanigans.

Michele asks Kutcher on camera:

“What are you going to do for New Year’s? Why don’t you come celebrate with my big Italian family and me? They would die.”

As a fellow Long Island Italian-American, I have to say, it’s not the most compelling of invitations. Kutcher seems to agree, deflecting:

“I don’t know where I’m going to be on New Year’s, I haven’t sorted it out.”

It seems Kutcher is in post-breakup self-improvement mode, because he also said:

“I’m gonna do my resolution in December this year. I’m resoluting for December so that when I come to January, and everybody else is having to go through the grind, I’m already ahead of it, I’ve already done it. It’s like taking the PSATs. I’m just trying to stay ahead of the curve. There is a curve.”

Kutcher has yet to detail his New Year’s Eve plans.

Ashton Kutcher has made his first major post-Demi appearance, hitting the red carpet for the release of his new film New Year’s Eve.

Kutcher stars in the ensemble rom-com with Glee star Lea Michele- the two are featured in a storyline about neighbors who get stuck in an elevator, one of several vignettes that make up the film. Michele and Kutcher appeared friendly on the red carpet, sparking a bunch of headlines and gossip column speculation. Michele spoke about the pair’s chemistry on screen while filming the new release:

“I got to be stuck in an elevator with him for two weeks, which was awesome, he’s hilarious. But he’s also really smart and would talk about everything going on in the world, and I had absolutely no idea about half the stuff he was talking about… So I would go home and Google everything, and try to brush up on everything that was going on in the world, to come in the next day and try to have a conversation. But he was great, he made me feel really comfortable.”

Michele says that not knowing Kutcher beforehand was helpful, as the two played strangers who met on screen:

“I think it was really good that Ashton and I didn’t know each other in this movie because we’re supposed to be strangers, meeting in an elevator… I think if we were playing two people who had known each other their whole lives we would have worked hard to create a certain rapport with each other, but not knowing each other really helped with this film.”

Like Kutcher, Michele also recently ended a relationship, splitting from boyfriend Theo Stockman in September after a year of dating.
