Starstrike! Ashton, Demi and Pursemonkey Meet the GroupMe Team

March 14, 2011 | 3:18 p.m

Angel investor Ashton Kutcher, wife Demi Moore and the simian Beanie Baby she calls Pursemonkey had a latenight run-in with members of team GroupMe late last night at South By Southwest.

Pursemonkey was on the way back from hanging backstage with Diplo, who was playing at the well-documented Vimeo and NIKON party at the vast Seaholm Power Plant in Austin, when he and the Kutchers stopped for a photo with GroupMe's SXSW delegation.

And with GroupMe mascot, the hash-eyed Poundy:

The app-curious star couple also stopped by the Foursquare party on Saturday, where Pursemonkey was briefly balanced on founder Dennis Crowley's shoulder.

Mr. Kutcher is a known GroupMe groupie; the app is on the home screen of his iPhone.
