Mila Kunis has slammed 'absurd' rumours that she is anything more than friends with Ashton Kutcher. The rumour mill was rife that the 'That 70's Show' co-stars had taken their friendship to the next level after they were spotted shopping for furniture together and taking a three-day mini-break in California.

However the 28-year-old considers reports that she is dating the 'Two and a Half Men actor to be ridiculous.

"It's very absurd," a website has quoted her as telling US show 'Extra'.

"I've never commented on my personal life - I'm not going to start commenting on my personal life now. But it's a friend. A friend is a friend," she said.

Ashton Kutcher is to play Steve Jobs in a new independent film about the late Apple chief's life, a spokeswoman for the "Two and a Half Men" actor said Monday.

"Jobs" will tell the story of his life from wayward hippie to co-founder of Apple and revered creative entrepreneur, according to industry daily Variety, whose report was confirmed as accurate by the spokeswoman.

Twitter trailblazer Kutcher,  is attached to the project to be directed by Joshua Michael Stern based on a script by Matt Whiteley, it said.

Production is due to start in May while Kutcher is taking a break from "Two and a Half Men," the hit TV series he joined last year after Charlie Sheen was sacked following a very public row with the producer.

Major studio Sony Pictures is also developing a movie about Jobs, based on the bestselling book by Walter Isaacson that was released after the Apple chief's death last October.
