Ashton Kutcher defended the sexy and controversial video of Miley Ray Cyrus giving Adam Shankman a lap dance at a party. When CNN’s Rick Sanchez slammed the vide: ‘Could I just speak for a moment as a father and as someone who has an eight-year-old?.. That’s troublesome.

And just the physicality of it alone and the fact that she’s 16-years-old. And this isn’t posing for a Hollywood magazine or a picture, because we understand that when you get into that arena, you got to play along with that game kind of thing. I am troubled viewing that.’ Ashton Tweeted to Sanchez:

ur [sic] comments on Miley R completely unwarranted. She’s 17. What is this the movie Footloose? judgment is unbecoming. I think it’s important to think about the context of the event she was at. It’s not like she was at a club with some stranger.‘
