My favourite bromance & Noomi’s bad dress

I appreciate the effort. That she didn’t want to be boring. But this dress...It’s really, really, REALLY bad. Maybe, like, MAYBE, and this is the weakest maybe ever, if the dots were smaller? Probably not. But sh-t, it’s SH-T, right??? And the hair, the fringe, that doesn’t help either. I don’t understand how this happens. Full Story
My Movie Star is having a boy
We talk a lot about the decline of the Movie Star. About how the real Movie Stars aren’t being supported the way they were, how the Movie Star has to share with the Reality Star, how the Reality Star might be killing the Movie Star. But while many of those Movie Stars have suffered serious setbacks, there is one Movie Star who keeps rising. Full Story
Robert Downey Jr
Arguments for:-Sherlock at Christmas, Iron Man in The Avengers in May, he’s running the box office, he’s never been more popular-All that’s in the past now, right?

So The Avengers looks awesome
I know this is right up my alley and exactly my thing, but c’mon, doesn’t The Avengers look cool? Marvel unveiled the teaser trailer yesterday I love it a whole lot. I love how good RDJ looks as Tony Stark. I love the glimpses of Tom Hiddleston as bad-guy Loki. I love how Scarlett Johansson is seen and not heard. Full Story
Mark Ruffalo occupies Wall Street
A Bregg /J Lee/Splash
I’m sure you’ve heard by now of Occupy Wall Street. I’m sure you have your own for/against opinion of it. And I’m sure you don’t need to read about my opinion of it here since this is a site for, primarily, smut and trash and their interchangeable relationship. Full Story
RDJ & The Jolie
The photo agency has photo sets of Angelina Jolie and Robert Downey Jr side by side. And they’re both smiling broadly. So then I thought to myself - have they ever done a movie together? What would that be like? This is RDJ in England on the set of Sherlock Holmes, continuing with reshoots today and, happily it seems, not dressed up as Fu Manchu. Full Story
Kung Fu RDJ
Robert Downey Jr and Rachel McAdams were photographed today working on Sherlock Holmes in London. The movie is due for a holiday release and Guy Ritchie has already been cutting it for months. Rachel will only be making a cameo in the film. Noomi Rapace is officially the female lead. And... um... good. Full Story
The Big Hammer and all his friends
The cast of The Avengers took over Central Park today in New York. There’s Thor Chris Hemsworth walking around with his big hammer. Can you imagine how ridiculous that would feel? I know it’s movie making and suspension of disbelief but, you know, when he’s just standing around without context, it’s really just a dude who got dressed up with his big hammer. Full Story
RDJ, team player
Robert Downey Jr showed up for Captain America last night in Hollywood. RDJ of course is Iron Man. And Iron Man and Captain America are Avengers. And so of course he came to support his franchise. RDJ is, perhaps more than all of them, totally a team player for Marvel. Remember when he trashed The Dark Knight?About three years ago during an interview: "My whole thing is that that I saw 'The Dark Knight'. Full Story
Sherlock returns
Written by Sarah Two issues with Sherlock Holmes. 1) We’re going to need a way to distinguish between the RDJ/Guy Ritchie movie franchise and the BBC series starring Benedict Yum Yum (because that nickname is no less ridiculous than his real name of Cumberbatch). Full Story
RDJ vs GMD
Tom Cruise was at that Joel Silver Memorial Day party in Malibu. So was Joel Silver. Joel Silver is producing Sherlock Holmes 2. Sherlock Holmes 2 opens on December 16. You know what else opens on December 16? Mission Impossible 4. Head to head! So Robert Downey Jr was also there. As was Sherlock director Guy Ritchie with his pregnant girlfriend Jacquie. Full Story
New haircut and glasses
Was it this short at the Oscars? I’m too lazy and rushed to check. But it was long-ish for a while there as he was shooting Sherlock Holmes. That worked too, sure. But I think, today at least, I prefer it like this. Robert Downey Jr was courtside at the Laker game last night in the coveted VIP spot next to Jeffrey Katzenberg. Full Story
Oscar Worsts: Gwyneth Paltrow & Nicole Kidman
In this episode of Everyone Loves Gwyneth, here she is with Nicole Kidman on the carpet last night holding hands. Kidman almost always towers over any woman she stands beside. Gwyneth really is that tall. I was delighted they decided to be all friends and girly together, considering they both looked like so much ass. Full Story
Oscar Bro-down: RDJ & Jude Law
RDJ should host the Oscars. Some of you suggested he should host with Sandra Bullock. Yeah I could get down with that. Neither of them needs it though. And they might be too big for it anyway. But sometimes it’s too short, you know? Watching him for 3 minutes, how he always hits the right note – funny, a little acerbic, but also self-deprecating – it’s much too short. Full Story
