ASHTON KUTCHER would have been going on Virgin Galactic’s next mission to space.  But MILA KUNIS stepped in with some reasonable, but downer advice.
Ashton said quote, “When I got married and had kids, my wife basically encouraged that it was not a smart family decision to be heading into space when we have young children.”  The kids are four and six years old.
So, he ended up selling his ticket back to Virgin Galactic.
But Ashton did say at some point he WILL be going to space . . . I’d guess probably when the kids are older.

If you ever wanted Shaquille O’Neal or Melissa McCarthy to tell you the weather, you’re in for a treat. Amazon has added the two stars to its Alexa digital assistant. Starting Thursday, you can have Alexa speak in the voices of Shaq or Melissa, instead of Alexa’s default female voice.
According to Variety, you’ll be able to ask “Shaq or McCarthy to tell them the weather, play songs, tell jokes, read poems or stories, and more (like asking Shaq to rap or soliciting a funny story from McCarthy).”
In a statement, McCarthy said, “That’s right folks, get ready for the vocal stylings of this nasal Midwestern gal! I am so excited to join the Alexa family. It’s been such a fun experience working on this project. I hope you all enjoy all my dad jokes! Fun fact — if you hear a slide whistle, it’s my personal one that I brought with me to the recording studio!”
O’Neal and McCarthy join such Alexa celeb voices as Samuel L. Jackson, Baby Groot and Gordon Ramsay.

Antonio Banderas has joined the cast of Indiana Jones 5.
The actor will star alongside Harrison Ford, who returns as the whip-cracking hero, along with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen and Boyd Holbrook.
No word on who Antonio will play.
Production has been delayed as Harrison recovers from an on-set injury.
Indiana Jones 5 is still set to hit theaters on July 29th, 2022.
