Robert Downey Jr Gossip
It’s GOOP Thursday! Today’s issue: Gwyneth Paltrow’s Barcelona recommendations. This one I care about. Because I haven’t been and have always wanted to go. Finally a keeper instead of recipes and child rearing tips. Click here... Full Story
He spent the weekend at the beach in Malibu, with wife Susan, and his son, surrounded by friends, and of course his lunch pail filled with vitamins and spinach pills. Adorable. Various photos attached of Robert Downey Jr enjoying down time after weeks of shooting the sequel and working out like a motherf-cker. Full Story
At the premiere of The Soloist last night with co-star Jamie Foxx, not the most popular dude these days. RDJ on the other hand is everybody’s favourite, and he turned up the charm last night with his wife, and Catherine Keener by his side, and Halle Berry showed up too, in flipflops and her body poured into a striped dress with curves and an ass and when I see her I’m always reminded of the time Ewan McGregor was caught mid-interview lasciviously admiring her and he was mildly criticised for it but really, can you blame him? The Soloist hits theatres on Friday, will likely not do much at the box office. Full Story
Many of you were traumatised by his high heel stylings this week. Me too. Those lifts, they were a quiver killer. Now… Redemption! Same outfit, same beautifully tailored pants, same sexy beast RDJ, same sly smile, same infectious energy, but now in flat shoes. In casual shoes. Sigh. Hot again. Full Story
What do they have in common? Heels! My bad – I did not look closely at the photos yesterday before posting after viewing them in thumbnail size only before downloading… Many of you emailed to point it out: RDJ is wearing at least 2 inches, if not more. Just like the GMD. I’ve attached additional photos here. Full Story
Iron Man 2 has started shooting – check out RDJ today with an Iron Man lunchbox for the 10 thousand vitamins he takes daily fresh off from celebrating his 44th birthday with Sting and Trudie, GOOP and Chris Martin, Jakey and Reese, and other high profile guests in Beverly Hills. Full Story
RDJ and his son Indio out shopping yesterday at Planet Blue. These pictures, they kill me. His jaunty cap, something about the way he’s wearing his sweats, Indio’s pants, pants only a 15 year old growing up in Hollywood understands – I guess? – and finally… RDJ’s lunchbox. Full Story
Oscar Bond! Daniel Craig’s presence in LA suggests he will be a presenter at the Oscars on Sunday. Oh Academy. We know you were trying to keep the secret, but you can’t expect them not to go out! This is Daniel Craig last night leaving the Women in Film 2nd annual party. A rare sighting without Satsuki… Have I ever mentioned there are Daniel Craig super crazies out there too? They hate Satsuki. Full Story
His usual charming self on the carpet tonight with wife Susan. They were super kissy face, lucky bitch. Seriously, for someone who abused drugs for so long, he’s holding up remarkably well…unlike Whitney Houston. More on that later during Grammy wrap. RDJ carries around a lunchbox with vitamins – no, like, real vitamins not “vitamins” – with him all the time. Full Story
Every year Newsweek puts 6 of them in a room and turns on the video. They interview each other, they discuss their “craft”, they squirm, they show off, they hide, they joke… it’s fascinating. Especially with the current crop: Frank Langella, Brad Pitt, Mickey Rourke, Sally Hawkins, Robert Downey Jr, and Anne Hathaway. Full Story
Even before Robert Pattinson cut it off, there’d be no chance against this. RDJ’s hair can deliver a Shakespearean monologue without rehearsal. It can be bad ass but gentle, sensitive but not limp, heroic but not over confident, RDJ’s hair is personality and charisma and a great soundbite all at the same time. Full Story
Check it – April issue of Men’s Vogue. RDJ on the cover. Yeah baby. He’ll be at the Globes on Sunday too. Nominated for Tropic Thunder for Best Supporting Actor going head to head again the GMD. Have you seen Tropic Thunder? Loved Tropic Thunder. And he was f-cking hilarious in Tropic Thunder. Full Story
Well this is a new Sherlock. Couple of stills from Guy Ritchie’s upcoming Sherlock Holmes movie have been released – RDJ looking like he’s in the middle of a scrap with his shirt off showing off his tight abs. That’s what I’m talking about. LOVE the way his belt sits on his waist. Full Story
There she is – one of our first looks at Rachel McAdams on the set of Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. Not exactly loving the hair but that’s how they wore it then, right? Also attaching photos of newly nominated Robert Downey Jr, capping off his remarkable comeback year with an appearance at the Globes in January and looking ahead of course to more as RDJ’s The Soloist is slated for release in 2009, said to be yet another tour de force. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
How civilised.
Madonna and Guy Ritchie, a quickie divorce, reportedly not battling over money, and agreeing to share custody of the children. And of course the British press giving Guy all the credit for managing the situation without much McCartney-style drama. He went out for dinner last night with his two boys. A few pap agencies happened to be there. Coincidence or conspiracy?
Well played Guy Ritchie.
Thank you to everyone who emailed about RDJ’s lunch box – late day post yesterday, scroll down to get caught up. Apparently it’s a pelican case, used to protect camera equipment. He also happens to be wearing a scarf that comes free in the December issue of UK In Style. Why is this cute to me? For more on the scarf, click here.
It’s Friday! New articles all day. Have a great weekend!
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
Please. Like it’s even a contest, right? But RDJ makes Jude Law almost cool. Like… oh, you’re worthy of his company? Ok maybe I want to look at you and not say something disparaging. You can have a Downey pass. That’s the benefit of friendship with the RDJ. Here they are after a day of shooting having dinner. Full Story
Entertainment Weekly has released its list of 25 Entertainers of the Year. And, not surprisingly, the magazine is MUCH closer to the target than that old windbag Barbara Walters and her 10 Most Fascinating. She did it, you know? She actually picked Tom Cruise. TOM CRUISE? What exactly has the GMD contributed this year? Even his Presentation of Katie Holmes is getting old!!! Anyway… With the exception of Kid Rock, EW’s list is totally arguable. Full Story
Arguments for: Everyone loves a comeback Iron Man was a smash hit, the sequel is due in 18 months Landed coveted role of Sherlock Holmes Try to mask your shock here but in some circles there is actually talk that they just might campaign for him in the Best Supporting actor category… for Tropic Thunder. Full Story
He went out to a gallery last night with RDJ and Jude Law – male bonding as a release after a long day’s work on set. As I mentioned yesterday, here in London, it’s pro-Guy all the way. The classic obnoxious American superstar and the unassuming, low key, middle class British boy who is fighting back against her… What’s interesting though is that it’s pretty common knowledge Guy’s background. Full Story
As you know, RDJ is the new Sherlock Holmes, directed by Guy Ritchie. His leading lady? None other than Rachel McAdams – according to Access Hollywood Rachel has accepted the part and will participate in a press conference in London on October 1st to announce preproduction on the project.
