Demi and Ashton grounded after pub closes

Patrons at a Des Moines, Iowa, bar were surprised when Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore showed up and stayed until closing.

Kutcher, who is a native of the eastern Iowa town of Homestead, was visiting family with his 43-year-old actress-wife and her 14-year-old daughter Scout.

Moore told patrons attempting to take pictures to go away, and some people were asked to leave.

At 2am Kutcher tried to arrange for a helicopter to take his family home, said bar manager Mike Caudle.

"I contacted every pilot I know, and I couldn't get a hold of anyone with a helicopter."

Instead security personnel drove the family 160km home.
