While Ashton Kutcher seems to be enjoying his newly-single status, things have been extremely hard for the woman who potentially caused his split with Demi Moore.

Sara Lea tells Fox411.com that as soon as she went public with her hours-long tryst with the Two and a Half Men star, life became unbearable.

She reveals:

“I got fired from my job. I am no longer friends with my best friend who was my roommate because it caused so many problems and I had to move out. I wasn’t working for two months, and I only just started working three weeks ago. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.”

The 22-year-old went public in September with her racy story, spilling all the deets of her night of unprotected sex with the married star at a Hard Rock hotel in San Diego, on the eve of his sixth wedding anniversary.

The beautiful blonde, who reportedly earned $200,00 for her tell-all, adds:

“I don’t watch television and I read very few magazines. It never crossed my mind that he was married. But then he said he was separated, which still doesn’t make things okay, but I wasn’t thinking clearly. He was a good-looking guy and it was stupid. When people say to me ‘I can’t believe you did that’ I want to say back that most 22-year-old girls in my position would have done the same thing.”

When Leal was asked whether she would have hooked up with the actor had she known the consequences, she exclaimed:

“No way! It was insane. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It might have seemed like I was asking for it, but I wasn’t. My dad wouldn’t even talk to me, and I got a lot of disturbing phone calls, even from my friends’ parents.”

And what about those scandalous party photos that are posted all over Facebook?

“Those made me look bad and everyone who knows me on a personal basis knows I am not a crazy slut party girl. I’ve had one boyfriend since I lived in San Diego, and those pictures were one weekend out of my life that painted the worst image of me ever. I was a mess for two weeks straight it was so horrible.”

Luckily things have cooled down for Leal, who recently started a new job as an executive assistant at a real estate development company in San Diego. She is also training to be a yoga instructor, with hopes of opening her own studio, "eventually."

The reformed party prince may be married to Katy Perry, and an advocate of AA, but that doesn't mean he can't enjoy a night out in Hollywood with his buddies every now and again!

Russell Brand and pal Brandon T. Jackson stepped out after Russell's show at the Wiltern Theatre in LA -- minus his wifey, who, by the way, drew huge ratings for her appearance on SNL last weekend.

The Arthur star, who hosted the show back in February, gave the "Firework" singer some tips before she tried her hand at live sketch comedy. Perry told MTV news, "My husband, of course, every day I call him and I'm like 'this happened' and he's like, 'I know what that means and here's the next play-by-play for tomorrow,' so he's gotten me really prepared for this week, thankfully."

What did you think of Katy's hosting skills on SNL?

While most of LA runs for cover at the first sight of rain, Elisabetta Canalis and her adorable dogs embraced the wet weather with a long walk in Beverly Hills, on Monday.

The gorgeous Dancing with the Stars alum chatted on her cell while keeping dry in a long grey sweater with matching scarf, black tights and rubber Hunter Wellies -- a staple for those venturing out onto the flooded LA sidewalks!

George Clooney's ex-ladylove recently unveiled her sexy -- and totally nude -- PETA ad in Milan, which shows off her flawless figure, while also sending an important message.

"You must remember that animals don’t have a voice," Canalis said of her support for the animal rights campaign. "You must be their voice. Never be afraid to speak up."

Megan Fox was spotted leaving the Yolanda Frye Skincare center in West Hollywood on Monday afternoon, and while she shielded her long locks from the nasty weather, for once the 25-year-old starlet didn't try to hide her pretty face. Finally! With skin so gorgeous and glowing, it'd be a shame to cover it up. Gotta say ... we're also lovin' her Linea Pelle Collection Willow Tote bag. What a fashionista!

Even though she's the face of Armani cosmetics, Megan recently revealed that she doesn't always pack on the foundation, blush and lipstick. "I don't wear make-up when I'm not working, unless I'm going on a date with my husband," she told InStyle. "I'll do a dewy tinted moisturiser with a lip gloss and tons of mascara. I have a lot of mascara." Whatever she's doing is definitely working -- girlfriend looks absolutely amazing!

We're not sure if the rain washed away her makeup or if she decided to leave the house without it, but Kourtney Kardashian looked like a bit of a hot mess when we spotted her Christmas shopping this afternoon. The pregnant reality TV starlet is definitely starting to pack on the pounds, but we have to give her some credit for braving the Topanga mall on such a dreary December day.

Earlier today Kourt wrote on her blog, "This weekend we started some family Christmas shopping! Barneys was our first stop. I was trying to find some fabulous Christmas stockings, but no luck. The mission continues." Given her expertise with retail therapy, we're confident that she'll be able to get what she wants by the end of the week!

Christina Aguilera was spotted shopping with boyfriend Matthew Rutler at Jenny Bec's in Los Angeles over the weekend, and even though she went overboard with her tan (how embarrassing!), Xtina was in great spirits when we snapped her picture.

And this isn't the first time she's shopped at the high-end children's store -- last year we caught the pop diva and her son Max leaving the retailer with a toy truck, so we have a feeling he'll be thrilled when he rips open his Christmas presents this year!

Angelina Jolie is being sued by Croatian journalist James Braddock over claims that In the Land of Blood and Honey violates the copyright on his book, The Soul Shattering, but now it's being reported that the lawsuit won't interfere with the December 23rd release of her directorial debut.

Braddock has withdrawn his motion for a temporary restraining order on the film's release after the judge sided with the film's distributor last week, and more importantly, the judge has ordered Braddock's lawyers to turn in a brief by tomorrow explaining why the case should proceed in Illinois federal court rather than California.

U.S. District Judge Robert Dow Jr. noted that the connection to the jurisdiction in Illinois "appears to be minimal, at best", and The Hollywood Reporter notes that the transfer would be "a small victory for Jolie and the film's producers" because California is notorious for throwing out copyright infringement claims, and in many cases, plaintiffs bringing the lawsuit have been ordered to pay attorney's fees for the defense.

Jolie's distributor, FilmDistrict, pointed out that Braddock had represented that he knew about the making of the film since early 2010, but waited until now to take legal action. Judge Dow added that there were valid concerns about the timing of the lawsuit and that the plaintiff hadn't yet shown that "immediate and irreparable harm would result" from the film's release. So how does Jolie feel about all this? She recently stated that she's never read Braddock's book, and that the lawsuit is "par for the course. It happens on almost every film."

Brooke Mueller is moving forward with getting a handle on her sobriety. One week after getting busted in Aspen, Colorado for felony cocaine possession, Charlie Sheen's ex is seeking treatment.

Her rep, Steve Honig, released the following statement:

"Recognizing past attempts at treatment have not been successful, Brooke has decided to take a different approach to deal with her addiction. Brooke will be participating in a program during the day, and will be under expert supervision 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, Brooke has requested to be tested on a daily basis for cocaine and other illegal substances so there is no doubt as to her commitment."

As for the custody of her twin 2-year-old boys, Bob and Max, Honig adds:

"Brooke will retain custody of her children, both of whom will continue to remain at her home and be cared for by Brooke and their longtime nanny."

Mueller is due back in court on December 19.
