Ashton Kutcher can't resist peeking at Lakers cheerleaders at basketball

LA: Since splitting from wife Demi Moore in Novemer, Ashton Kutcher has been romantically linked to screenwriter Lorene Scafaria and more recently, singer Rihanna. But as he attended the Los Angeles Lakers basketball game yesterday, it looked like neither women were on his mind as he ogled the cheerleaders.

According to the Daily Mail, the Two And A Half Men star, 34, smiled appreciatively as he sat just a few feet away from the scantily-clad 'Laker Girls' from his coveted front row seat.

Meanwhile, another A-list star in the front row was trying his best to avoid making eye contact with the purple-clad cheerleaders... married father-of-four David Beckham. Becks has been a regular in the Lakers' $2,700-a-game front row since moving to LA in 2007.

After he was famously caught on camera studying one of the cheerleader's pert derrières in 2008, the footballer has been trying his hardest to make sure he doesn't embarrass his wife Victoria by doing it again.

But as Kutcher is technically a free agent, he was free to ogle whoever he pleased.

Joined by a group of his friends, Kutcher was spotted laughing and smiling as the cheerleaders shook their toned figures just inches from his face.

His appearance at the Lakers V Memphis Grizzlies game comes after he was linked to Rihanna.

Reports claim the pair have enjoyed a secret fling in recent weeks, with the Bajan singer being spotted at his Hollywood home over the weekend. Also at the Lakers game was Scots actor Gerard Butler, who like Kutcher was wearing a purple Lakers hat.

The 300 star, who recently spent time in rehab for abuse of painkillers, looked in good spirits as he chatted to Dreamworks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg.

However, socialite Nicole Richie appeared rather distracted during the game as she sat playing on her iPhone during the match. She tweeted a photo of her perspective of the court, writing: 'Balls flying at my face.... What else is new?'

Making a family day out was Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards arrived with her husband Mauricio Umansky and their daughters Sophia and Alexia.

Also at the game was Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea - who has a Lakers season ticket - with bandmate Chad Smith.
