Mila Kunis is growing weary of the ongoing divorce drama between her love interest Ashton Kutcher and his estranged wife Demi Moore.

Kunis and Kutcher, who co-starred in That 70′s Show from 1998-2006, began dating in early 2012. Fellow That 70′s Show alum Laura Prepon recently told US Weekly that she's not surprised the couple is dating.

However, Kutcher is still attempting to finalize his divorce from Demi Moore. Kutcher and Moore married in 2005 and separated in late 2011. Kutcher filed for divorce almost a year later, in December 2012.

Some sources report that Demi wants as much as $25 million from Kutcher.

That's a large sum of money, even by Hollywood standards, but apparently Kunis is tired of the ongoing battle. She's urged Kutcher to " just give Demi the money " so she and Kutcher can move on with their lives.

Kunis and Kutcher appear to have no qualms about appearing together in public. They were recently spotted holding hands as they walked through SoHo.

Prior to that, they were in Safed, Israel attending the funeral service of Kabbalah Chief Rabbi Philip Berg. Kutcher is one of several Hollywood celebrities who embrace the Kabbalah faith. In fact, he and Moore were married in a Los Angeles Kabbalah center.

Kunis is currently busy promoting her upcoming movie Third Person, in which she stars alongside Olivia Wilde, Liam Neeson and James Franco. She spent the summer filming Jupiter Ascending, a sci-fi action flick co-starring Channing Tatum.

Kutcher recently starred in the title role of Jobs, a biographical drama based on the life of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He also stars in the television sitcom Two and a Half Men, filling a role that was created after the 2011 departure of Charlie Sheen. Along with Jason Goldberg, Kutcher heads Katalyst Media. Their latest project is Forever Young, a reality television series that debuted on TV Land in April, 2013.

The Detroit Lions will have to beat the Washington Redskins without the help of their dual-threat running back reggie Bush. ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports that Reggie Bush has been listed as "officially out" of the game today.

Reggie Bush officially out. RBs Eddie Lacy, Mark Ingram also out.

- Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 22, 2013

This shouldn't come as too big of a surprise. Despite Bush's optimism all week, there were doubts all along that he'd be available to play. There were reports that the Lions might hold him out of the game to give him extra rest to recover instead of risking a further set back.

Due to knee injury, Lions RB Reggie Bush is not expected to play today vs. Washington. He is expected to play next week.

- Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 22, 2013

There were reports that he was pushing to play, but ultimately he wasn't able to convince coaches to let him on the field. In his place Joique Bell will get the start for the Lions.

How do you know it's now, officially fall movie season? An R-rated drama about kidnapping and torture is the #1 movie at the box office. prisoners, starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal along with a laundry list of other big names, opened to a modest but respectable $7 million on Friday, according to the early numbers at Deadline. That puts it on track for $21 million for the weekend and an easy #1 spot, though to be fair, its competition wasn't exactly stiff.

The weekend's other big release, Battle of the Year, never looked like much of a contest, opening on more than a thousand fewer screens than Prisoners and bringing in way less cash-- it made $1.4 million on Friday on its way to an estimated $4 million for the weekend. The dance competition movie wasn't exactly expensive, at a budget of $20 million, but it stands virtually no chance of making that back in theaters.

Second place will belong to Insidious 2, a massive holdover hit that made $4.6 million on Friday and will notch another $13 million for the weekend (if you're seeing the film this weekend, make sure to enter our contest!) And though it won't make much of an impact at the box office, opening on barely more than 300 screens. the 3D re-vamp of The Wizard of Oz-- yes, this really happened-- is doing pretty well for itself, making more than $750,000 on Friday on its way to a $2.5 million weekend, good enough for ninth place behind Riddick.

So for now, the weekend is all about Prisoners, and for more on that we have lots of options for you-- both Eric and Sean's rave reviews, Sean's video interview with director Denis Villeneuve, our Operation Kino podcast review, and for something a little different, our celebration of cinematographer Roger Deakins, who made Prisoners and so many other movies look unspeakably gorgeous.

Herman Suradja always emphasizes the importance of continuous alignment and communication to boost company growth.

The 48-year-old executive believes that when a leader's business understanding and strategy is also well received by his subordinates, they will perform better.

"In order for our system to work properly in the organization, employees must be motivated and aware so that their superiors don't have to constantly supervise them," said CEO of PT ABC President Indonesia (ABC PI).

That is why, he added, continuous alignment and communication was vital as the company has numerous employees from various backgrounds.

Herman was referring to the alignment concept presented by Fred Smith, chairman of FedEX, in which he says that an optimum situation is when strategy, employees, customers and the entire process collaborate with each other in an integrated way for company growth and profitability.

Management functions, such as planning, organization, staffing, directing and controlling, can only be perfect based on effective communication. "Alignment integrates the same understanding and reasons or purpose," commented the Parahyangan Catholic University civil engineering school graduate.

For Herman, both constant alignment and communication are important for the relationship between shareholders and employees.

Herman started his career as a marketing executive at an electronic company after graduating from the education program at Wijawiyata Manajemen Institut PPM (Jakarta). He then moved around between several companies with continuous promotions. His longest position was 10 years at an international pharmaceutical company where he started as a manager and was soon after promoted to trade sales director. He also got the opportunity to work at the company's branch in Malaysia for three years. "The work was complicated there. There were many assignments but they were extremely interesting," he recalled.

Ideally, all employees should understand how their work contributes to the company's business strategy and target. However, Herman admits that there are different preferences in each individual and as a leader, he simply cannot accommodate everything. Sometimes he has to direct according to his own preferences. Most importantly, whatever his decisions are, all employees must be aware of the reasons why he made those decisions so they are aligned 100 percent and can give their full support instead of waiting for the right time to offer criticism.

"We give them due recognition and also teach them to be more open and transparent so that they become more developed, mature and capable," stressed Herman, who answers directly to the corporate principal in Taiwan.

A leader should reach a level where success not only belongs to him or her but to all. A leader should not claim the achievements as purely his or hers. "The important thing is the end result, the way it is achieved, while who did it is secondary," said the father of three girls.

Alignment with shareholders is equally important to get their support and involvement in critical steps such as investment, changes in distribution style, team structure as well as branding, which are all discussed during quarterly or mid-year meetings.

Herman, who joined PT ABC President Indonesia in 2008, understands that communication does not always flow smoothly. Differences in views or opinions are healthy, he said, as it meant that there was passion. As each person has a different view, he can use those views to enrich his decisions.

"A leader only has to manage. He or she shouldn't waste energy on conflicts," explained Herman. Common goals must be found to solve conflicts through communication. In some cases, conflicts are allowed as it means there is a sense of belonging and involvement.

According to Herman, sales increases or maintenance is closely related to the capability of an organization.

Creating a pleasant and creative working atmosphere very much depends on the leader and as CEO; he always strives to give them such an atmosphere. "We want our employees to love their work and avoid work stress," said Herman.

Problems, however, always occur. Herman sometimes creates distance between himself and the problem. When disagreeing with shareholders or the owner, he chooses to go along with what they wish while observing the process. Time usually provided a lesson about the crux of their wishes, he said.

Previously as a manager and director, he had experienced sales targets that were not achieved and erroneous delivery. But he dealt with those issues by distancing himself from the problem so that he could see it clearly and find a solution.

He cited an example regarding Minimum Regional Wages (UMR), which were increased by 40 percent, exceeding his forecast of 20 percent.

"There was nothing to panic about," he said. As the company holds the principle of abiding by government regulations, Herman and his management team looked for a smart solution. Employee salaries were raised as per the new UMR but the company made operations more efficient by simplifying the business process and negotiated with suppliers about payment deadlines.

As the leader, Herman instilled good spirits in his employees. They were given flexible hours: eight hours in the office Monday-Thursday and seven hours on Friday's. However employees have to be available between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

"They have to be at the 9 o'clock meeting," said Herman. Herman is also flexible in emergency situations.He told them to work from home or cafes that had Wi-Fi, as all of them had been provided with laptops.

Apart from enhancing the effectiveness of each department, Herman also revamped his company's organizational structure by increasing the role of human resources department.

"Each department should have a focus and puts forward merit and promotion based on achievements," he concluded.

Experience

Holds a position as CEO of PT ABC President Indonesia since 2008. Previously, he held managerial position in several companies, including PT Topindo Atlas Asia as managing director (2006), PT Mead Johnson Indonesia & Bristol Myers Squibb Sdn. Bhd as trade sales director (1997) and PT Beiersdorf Indonesia as deputy group product manager (1993).

Education

Graduated from University of Parahyangan Civil Engineering School (1988)
