New York, April 9-12– EXCLUSIVE – What did you do on Good Friday? Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore rang in the Sabbath mystic-style at the New York Kabbalah Centre. Moore wore gray pants and black sweater while Kutcher was all in white, traditional dress code for men at Kabbalah ceremonies. Friday evening’s Passover 2004 agenda included candle lighting ceremony, Minchah service, “Kabbalat Shabbat”, followed by Kiddush and dinner. Moore didn’t bring her children, although the place was swarming with them; one happy kid came over and told us he loved the dessert – sorbet.

Chauffeuring celebrities must not be such a hot job – Moore’s driver is studying business administration. He put down his books at 12:30 AM, when his passengers were ready. Once ensconced in the giant black GMC Denali SUV, Kutcher lowered the window, and we admonished him for keeping us out late working on a Friday night. He looked us straight in the eye, and, with the wisdom of the ancients, said, “You had a choice”. It turns out the super-couple weren’t just in town for religious purposes. Bright and early Monday morning, Kutcher was on the Lower East Side for the first day of shooting the movie A Lot Like Love, with Amanda Peet.
