Ashton Kutcher on this promise to re-enact Michael Jackson....

Ashton Kutcher has followed through on this promise to re-enact Michael Jackson's infamous baby-dangling horror - but went one step further, by throwing a baby doll from a hotel window.

Earlier this week (begs09Feb09), the Punk'd star pledged to recreate the famous stunt, after he found out he was staying in the same room of the Hotel Adlon, Berlin where Jackson dangled baby Prince Michael II above the heads of shocked onlookers in 2002.

Kutcher has posted video clips of himself preparing the 'baby' - a doll he has named Gwendolyn - for the re-enactment on website Qik.

The actor is seen covering the doll's face with a mask - as the King Of Pop did with his son - before tying a string around the toy, to act as a harness.

Kutcher is then shown giving a commentary from the ground, while a figure - meant to depict Michael Jackson - comes to the window and the doll is thrown out.

The 31-year-old says, "Moving into position. The baby is in place. Michael should be appearing any time now... Here is is. There's Michael. Michael's holding the baby. The baby has been thrown. It happened and you saw it here live.'

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are leading new Hollywood worst-dressed poll

Hollywood couple Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are leading a new Hollywood worst-dressed poll.

People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) bosses have declared the fur-wearing pair are fashion victims - and animal lovers voting online seem to agree.

Moore is the current number one on PETA's annual list of shame, while her toyboy husband comes in second for "skulking around the Sundance Film Festival wearing a gigantic coat made of coyote fur."

Also making the selections on PETA's Worst-Dressed List this year: Madonna, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Kanye West, Mary J. Blige and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Animal lovers can vote for their worst-dressed celebrity online until 2 March.

Last year, soul star Aretha Franklin topped the list, followed by Marilyn Manson.

Naomi Campbell's support behind breast cancer awareness campaign

British supermodel Naomi Campbell has thrown her support behind a major breast cancer awareness campaign after witnessing the devastating effects of the disease on her own family.

The catwalk beauty officially opened a new cancer research unit at a London hospital this week (beg09Feb09) and used the opportunity to open up about her mother's brush with the killer illness.

Campbell's mum, Valerie, was diagnosed with a particularly aggressive form of cancer but after several months of treatment, she is said to be in remission.

And Campbell admits it has been a tough time for all of her relatives.

She says, "It's something that's never really happened in my family, so it was researching, reading a lot of books, finding out about how to take care of her, what was the best treatment and where to get the best treatment.

"It just made me more aware because up until that point I hadn't got checked on a regular basis like you should. I heard about breast cancer but I just thought it's never going to happen to me. But now I've learnt it doesn't discriminate, this disease, it can happen to anybody. As someone who's seen breast cancer first hand I know it can be a devastating disease."

The $6 million (£4.2 million) unit at London's Guy's Hospital has been funded by charity organisation Breakthrough Breast Cancer and is the first of its kind in the U.K.
