"He's worked really hard for all this success," says pal Wilmer Valderrama of Ashton Kutcher (in New York City on March 14). Despite his goofy persona, says his That '70s Show costar Mila Kunis, "Ashton's extremely smart. He knows what he wants and he knows how to get it."

During his March 14 appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, Kutcher laughed off reports that he and Demi Moore (in New York this month) are expecting a baby. Though Kutcher admitted that he "absolutely" wants to have children, he joked, "If she is (pregnant), I gotta go find some guy and kick his ass."

For his second stint hosting Saturday Night Live on March 20, Kutcher poked fun at Britney Spears's husband Kevin Federline in an underwear ad spoof (left). To start the show, he and Moore mocked their own relationship and their 15-year age difference (he's 27; she's 42).

A self-avowed NASCAR fan, Kutcher waved the green flag as the honorary starter at the Daytona 500 on Feb. 20. Before the race got under way, he palled around with winner Jeff Gordon (left) and grand marshal Matthew McConaughey. Moore also tagged along for the extravaganza.

Kutcher and Jessica Simpson (at a New York City party with Moore on March 16) go way back: She guest-starred as his love interest in several episodes of That '70s Show, and Kutcher Punk'd her husband Nick Lachey on his MTV reality show.

"I try to help them with the problems they have, and they bring me a lot of joy," says Kutcher of his relationship with Moore's daughters Rumer, 16, Scout, 14 (in L.A. in December), and Tallulah, 11, who call him the MOD ("My Other Dad"). Says Moore's ex Bruce Willis of their family situation, which includes vacations together: "I think how Demi and I and Ashton and my three daughters are handling this is evolution."

Kutcher (signing autographs at the Hollywood premiere of Guess Who on March 13) has come a long way from his summer job as a teen vacuuming cereal dust at the General Mills plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. But the former biochemical engineering student still looks back at that early gig fondly. "It was $12 an hour," he says. "Can't beat that!"

Both Kutcher and Moore (leaving L.A.'s Kabbalah Centre) are devout practitioners of Kabbalah, an ancient form of Jewish mysticism whose basic tenets include curbing negative emotions and sharing feelings with others. "When I'm putting up a front, she calls me on it. And I call her on her crap," Kutcher told Oprah Winfrey recently.

On his movie sets, Kutcher (kidding with MTV TRL host Lala recently) is a practical joker. While filming A Lot Like Love, he toilet-papered costar Amanda Peet's front lawn. But she got him back: "I put shaving cream on his car. Twice," she says, adding, "I'm waiting to get on Punk'd."

"We work together on life every day, and this is the biggest job that anybody has," says Kutcher of his relationship with Moore. The couple, who met at a casual group dinner in New York City two years ago, spend most of their time in L.A. but also travel to her estate in Hailey, Idaho. "I love being with her. She makes me a better person," he gushed to Oprah Winfrey.
