In Des Moines visiting family for the long weekend, Ashton Kutcher and cougar spouse Demi Moore found a way to bring a little Hollywood A-list celebrity entitlement to the American heartland. After DJ AM text-messaged that he would be spinning at local nightclub Aura, the couple showed up with Moore's daughter, Scout. They then proceeded to party until closing time, safely sequestered from any non-celebrities by the club's accommodating staff:

Moore and Kutcher split their time between an isolated VIP booth and the DJ booth [...]

[W]hen Moore visited the restroom, the bar cleared it for her. [...]

Moore was not friendly to those attempting to take pictures, telling them to get away. Some patrons taking pictures were asked to leave the bar.

As the bar was closing at 2 a.m. Kutcher tried unsuccessfully to arrange for a helicopter to take his family home. [...]

Kutcher also couldn't find a limo on short notice, so [bar manager Mike] Caudle had his security personnel drive the group the 100 miles home in his Cadillac Escalade.

Some locals were overheard grumbling about the extra-special treatment the star duo received—particularly a female bathroom occupant forcefully removed mid-pee by a pair of bouncers shouting, "Ms. Moore always insists on an end stall!" Still, most patrons admitted the Kabbalists' A-list presence added an undeniable air of glamour to their otherwise workaday, Midwestern lives. Even the security personnel forced to drive over 100 miles at 2 a.m. after a full shift at work, and who were politely ordered not to speak to their passengers or each other for the duration of the trip, were buzzing for days about the night they chauffeured "drunk GI Jane and the Punk'd asshole" home.
