Every year it's like this - so much hype going in surrounding a few projects and what comes out is a dark horse surprise, none more surprising than Mickey Rourke's The Wrestler which has been the talk of TIFF and has placed Mickey in the early lead in the race for Oscar.

Yes. Mickey Rourke.

His performance is apparently so layered, so moving, and so monumental he's now becoming the new comeback story after Britney Spears...even though his face is seriously busted.

Busted.

Remember when he used to be hot? Before he allegedly beat the sh-t out of Carrie Otis?

After that, Mickey was most unpopular for a long time. But for a few days at TIFF this year everybody loved Mickey Rourke. He was great on junkets, he was funny on carpets, and ....he farted at Ebola Hilton?

It's the best rumour circulating this week.

Apparently Mickey ended up at a party with Ebola and Benji Madden. All was going well...until Mickey was spotted flirting with The Disease and supposedly farted badly and Benji got so offended and incensed by the smell they two may have scuffled but if they did it was too minor to get excited about.

I prefer to focus on the flatulence that was directed at Ebola's face and the visual of it totally makes my life.

This is Mickey at the airport leaving town the other day.
