What exactly does one have to do to land an article in Harper’s Bazaar? Not much — just be famous. Celebs writing for mags, while nothing new, is just another annoyance on the list of things that peeve aspiring journalists. Honestly, how does your average Brown grad stand a chance of landing a byline when the competition is Demi Moore’s boyfriend and Diddy’s best friend? As The Envelope observed last week, Ashton was doing his homework while attending the Narciso Rodriquez show.

It looked to some observers as if Ashton Kutcher was intently writing a shopping list for his lady love at the Narcisco Rodriquez (sic) runway show.

But the actor was actually working. He was taking notes for an article on fashion shows that he’s penning for Harpers Bazaar. And no, this isn’t a Punk’d prank. At least, I don’t think so.

While we do have our doubts that Ashton is actually any good, we guess we should be happy that Bazaar is at least commissioning a real celeb. Unlike, say, Glamour, who just grabs the first B-List socialite they can find and slap all over every inch of their mag.
