not through Sean Combs, as everyone said, but through a mutual friend, Sara Foster, an actress who's known Ashton from the day he arrived in Los Angeles.

I've known Jason since he was about 18, and he got in touch with me through our mutual friend Phil Carson, who I knew when he was an executive at Atlantic Records, Foreigner's original label.

Who is this mutual friend?

I've known Ellen for years. I think she's a great actress.

Sean Miller's been shooting 80, 80 and 81. That's consistency, but it's not in the 70s.

Natalie Portman is one of my favorites, and Jodie Foster. Those two are amazing actresses.
