Ashton Kutcher "Naked" in Ellen Degeneres Season Nine Premiere Ep

The Ellen Degeneres Show had its ninth season premiere today, and Ashton Kutcher was the guest, promoting his new starring role in "Two and a Half Men" taking over for crazed Warlock from Mars Charlie Sheen. The best part is that it looks nudity is a big part of his promotion for the show. He stripped down (albeit completely blurred out) in front of Ellen and her Mom, saying that since the scantily clad print ad was such a splash that he was going au naturel from now on. Plus, the brief clip from next Monday's "Two and a Half Men" premiere had Ashton sans clothes too.

If they are going to appeal to the lowest common denominator by taking off Ashton's clothes all the time, then I heartily approve!
