As more details about Demi Moore's recent hospitalization emerge, celebrity watchers are getting an inside look at the actress' personal life since her split with Ashton Kutcher in November. While some revelations may seem too personal, one expert told MTV News this sort of nothing's-off-limits coverage comes with the territory.

"When you're a celebrity, it's open season for the press to scrutinize every aspect of your life, specifically your personal life. Most celebrities are used to being under the microscope like this, but when the scrutiny involves their personal relationships, especially a split, everything is magnified," celebrity magazine editor David Caplan told MTV News on Friday, just as the 911 call from the night of her health scare hit the Web.

"The scrutiny, the press coverage ... can be very stressful for a celebrity, because the majority of the information being disseminated about the relationship and the split in the press is often highly critical of the celebrity," he added.

When one bit of bad news — like a divorce or substance abuse — comes to light, the media has a field day trying to uncover even more dirt.

"As the press seeks to explain why the split occurred, skeletons in a stars' closet are revealed, and demons are revealed. In the case of Demi and Ashton, she was basically humiliated since it came to light that Ashton was blatantly cheating on Demi, with younger women, making Demi look like she was manipulated in the relationship — let alone reports claiming they had an open marriage," Caplan said. "Once this was revealed, the floodgates were open and stories emerged of Demi's alleged low self-esteem, how her partying put strain on the marriage and other aspects about her life. For someone who already seems to be on an emotional roller coaster, this doesn't bode well for Demi's mental health and well-being."

As the Demi story continues to hold the public's interest, expect the focus to also fall on her famous ex. "It's also exacerbated by the fact that Ashton seems to be going on with his life and enjoying himself," Caplan noted. "Combining all this together takes such a mental toll, a breakdown isn't surprising."

Rumor of a Rumer: Was Daughter Present During Demi Moore Smoking Session?


Demi Moore was sent to the hospital earlier this week due to some kind of foreign substance inhalation. That's not in dispute.

But many are now asking just who was in the presence of this actress during the incident, specifically wondering: Was 23-year old daughter Rumer Willis actually there?!?

The chatter is based on the 911 call (below) placed on Demi's behalf, during which someone in Moore's party turns to someone else nearby and asks: "Hey, Ru. What's the name at the gate so that we can buzz them in from here?"

Willis often goes by this nickname, even using it for her Twitter handle, and other reports say she and her mother have been spending a lot of time together recently, including attendance at a party two weeks ago that featured a bizzare-behaving Moore.

Listen for the" Ru" reference now:

Evan Rachel Wood: Sorry Ladies, I'm Taken!

Loading up on a few household needs ahead of the weekend, Evan Rachel Wood was spotted on a Whole Foods run in Santa Monica, California.

The "Ides of March" actress endured the windy conditions as she placed her hand atop her head to keep her cute brimmed hat in place while toting her bag of groceries back home.

The sighting comes as Miss Wood was caught up in an off-base tale at the hands of the National Enquirer, which claimed the actress is "confused" about her sexuality and relationship status.

The Enquirer quoted a 'friend' as saying, ?Evan?s a smart girl and talented actress, but she?s as confused and flighty as they come in romance. I don?t know if their idea of an open marriage is workable.?

Denying any such situation, the 24-year-old tweeted in response, "FYI the national enquirer makes me sick. I do not have an open marriage. They can take their lies and shove it. Sorry ladies.?
