Mr. Kutcher -

I'm not asking for money or anything, just your opinion.

Your recent tweets about the validation of @iamdiddy and @johncmayer got me thinking.  My wife watches "The View" and she told me that Whoopie Goldberg complains frequently that she has a facebook page that she didn't put up and has nothing to do with and she's concerned that people are falsely assuming her identity.

Q: Is proving your identity on the internet a big concern in the entertainment industry?  Do you think that there would be value in a service that would (somehow) authenticate the identity of VIPs or celebrities on the internet and have that one site as a single place of reference for celebrities to voice what their real id's are on certain websites, or to thwart imposters?  Does something like this already exist in celebrity circles that us common folk just don't know about?

I'm trying to come up with an authentication method that would be difficult to forge other than meeting in person, or being referred by an already-authenticated person (trust relationship).  Recently, you took a picture of Bruce Willis when he was available for a chat for a few minutes.  I was thinking that a photo of the celebrity holding a hand-written sign saying something that we requested them to write would be a good start for authenticating a celebrity on the internet.  Once someone has been authenticated, they can publish what official channels they approve as being actually them.
