DEMI MOORE - ASHTON KUTCHER CROWNED NEW GAY ICON

Sexy actress DEMI MOORE is already facing rivalry for the love of her screen hunk beau ASHTON KUTCHER - from a gay man.

Kutcher, 25, who recently embarked on his romance with 40-year-old Moore, has been the subject of much public lusting for over a year, from syndicated gay writer DAN SAVAGE.

Savage, 38, has written many times in his column, "Ashton Kutcher is the most beautiful man on TV," as well as expressing his fantasies to see Kutcher and BRAD PITT having sex with each other "with Ashton tied to a chair in a hotel room and Brad wearing JENNIFER ANISTON's bra".

And Kutcher was highly flattered when Savage named him as one of his dream guests at a "sex party" - even going as far as emailing him to tell him so.

Kutcher revealed in a recent ROLLING STONE interview, "I sent him an email saying, 'Hi, this is Ashton Kutcher and I appreciate that I could be invited to your party to look at.'

"Savage wrote back, but he didn't believe it was actually me who had sent the email."

The correspondence continued after Savage read Kutcher's comments in Rolling Stone.

Savage wrote, "After we emailed each other back and forth a few times, Ashton sugarclump, I did come to believe that I was actually corresponding with the real Ashton, and I told you so remember? In the last email I sent to you, Ashton honeypie, I even offered to let you play guest expert in my column sometime. The offer still stands."

BRAD POSEY, director of Los Angeles-based CLUB 1821 - the topselling erotic video studio - says Kutcher shouldn't be surprised he's so admired in the gay community, explaining, "Ashton is absolutely gorgeous, and I can tell you that he is the star of many a fantasy with gay men.

"Given that Ashton was a made model, I doubt he's uncomfortable that he's the top icon in the gay community today. And I'd still be thrilled to have him star in some videos for me any time he wanted."
