A SHTON Kutcher arrived back in Los Angeles Thursday night as his es- tranged wife Demi Moore left hos- pital. The Two and a Half Men star - who split from the actress in No- vember amid allegations he had cheated on her - has reportedly cut short his trip to Brazil and was said to be "deeply concerned" about the health of his estranged wife. As news of her hospital dash emerged, Ashton was pictured par- tying with friends at a Bruno Mars gig in Brazil. But he decided to jet back from his stint at Sao Paulo Fashion Week after hearing Demi was being treated for exhaustion and alleged anorexia. Demi's weight has plummeted since the collapse of her marriage to Kutcher, 33, last year after he was accused of cheating with Sara Leal, 23, on their sixth wedding anniversary in September. A source told People magazine: "Ashton is deeply concerned for Demi. He still cares about her and wants the best for her." It has now been claimed the 49- year-old actress had replaced food with the caffeine-based energy drink Red Bull. A friend of the star said: "Demi avoids alcohol and instead drinks tons of Red Bull when she goes out. "But in recent months she's not been eating much, so she's also been drinking it in the day to give her energy to get through." Demi - who was released from California's Sherman Oaks Hospi- tal Thursday night - "seemed drunk" when she was taken to the medical facility in an ambulance on Monday, but it is thought it was just because of the vast quantities of Red Bull she had consumed. The pal added: "She seemed drunk but I don't think any alcohol passed her lips, just loads of Red Bull. It's not a healthy way to live." The star's spokeswoman said: "Demi has chosen to seek profes- sional assistance to treat her ex- haustion and improve her health." Eva Longoria the belle of the ball-et E VA Longoria clutches on to a new prize — after being honored at a BAL- LET awards ceremony. With the awards season in full swing, the Desperate Housewives star headed to Las Vegas to pick up one of the more unusual tro- phies up for grabs. The 36-year-old brunette was the guest of honor at the Nevada Bal- let Theatre's Black & White Ball where she was named Woman of the Year. While the athletic actress has pre- viously attempted pole dancing on the hit C4 show, Eva's ballet skills are unclear. While deciding to steer clear of any pirouettes or plies, Eva did cut an elegant figure in a black dress with a peep hole slit. Inside the bash Eva was praised for her philanthropy and "dedica- tion to the world of arts and enter- tainment" for the dance company. The excited star took to her Twit- ter page on the morning of the event to tell fans about her latest gong, writing: "Off to Vegas to at- tend the Nevada Ballet Black & White Ball. "Thank you for honoring my work!" Past recipients of the Nevada Ballet Theatre's prize include Deb- bie Reynolds, Marie Osmond, Priscilla Presley, Celine Dion and Bette Midler. Halle’s happy beach day H ALLE Berry beams as she enjoys a cuddle with beloved daughter Nahla. The Hollywood actress appeared overjoyed as she played with the youngster and showed off her en- gagement ring on the beach in Malibu — despite a broken foot and looming custody battle. The crocked star was unwinding on the sand during a family trip with the three-year-old and Olivier Martinez. Halle, 46, was seen laughing away with her French fiancé and ensuring Nahla was showered with love and attention. At one point, playful Nahla sent the Oscar winner flying backwards after leaping on her famous mom. And clearly taken with her mommy's hubby-to-be, Nahla planted an affectionate kiss on actor Olivier's lips while Halle fondly looked on. The trio's happy day out comes as reports claim Nahla is struggling to cope with the ordeal of her parents' nasty custody battle. TMZ says Halle's legal wrangle with model ex Gabriel Aubry is taking such a toll on their child, LA authorities have recommended she undergoes counseling. Sources have also told the web- site that Halle — scheduled to at- tend court with Gabriel Monday — wants the judge to keep her for- mer boyfriend away from Nahla altogether until a criminal child en- dangerment investigation targeting him is resolved. The youngster's nanny has ac- cused Gabriel of screaming at Nahla and violently yanking her out of her arms. Gabriel has hit back with a re- straining order request against the nanny, saying she's making up sto- ries about him to curry favor with Halle. The couple split in 2010 follow- ing a five-year romance. Halle and Olivier are expected to tie the knot in California early this summer.

And the stunning couple were all smiles as they hit the event at the Grand Ballroom at the Hollywood and Highland Centre. The annual award ceremony was also attended by The Descendants star George Clooney and his 16- year-old co-star Shailene Wood- ley. The teenager plays his daughter in the Oscar-nominated movie, about a land baron trying to con- nect with his children after his wife is left in a coma. Laura Dern played it safe in a black outfit that covered every- thing but Michelle Williams chose a beautiful assymetrical Chanel dress with gold trimming. The My Week With Marilyn star took to the stage to present the Best Documentary Director Award, which went to Brit James Marsh for his film Project Nim. The Artist director Michel Haz- anavicius bagged pole position in the Oscars race after winning the biggest gong of the night. He beat Hollywood heavy- weights Woody Allen, nominated for Midnight in Paris, Hugo's Mar- tin Scorsese, David Fincher for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Descendants filmmaker Alexander Payne to the Best Di- rector prize. The trophy ups the chances of the Frenchman taking home the Acad- emy Award on February 26. The winner of the DGA has gone on to win the Best Director Oscar all but six times since the guild began handing out awards in 1949. Accepting his prize, Hazanavi- cius said, "It's maybe the highest recognition I could hope for. Maybe you noticed, but I'm French. I have an accent. I have a name that is very difficult to pro- nounce. I'm not American and I'm not French, actually - I'm a film- maker... "I feel like I'm being accepted by you, not as Americans, but as film- makers. This is really very moving and very touching for me."
