Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, July 26, 2016 Robert Downey Jr. helps promote a Sorkin master class. Not sure why. What am I missing here? Is it because they are repped by the same PR company?

Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans and RDJ in Captain America: Civil War review SPOILER FREE Captain America: Civil War is good. It’s very, very good. Great, even.

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, April 4, 2016 It’s so hard to get mad/stay mad at a dog. Do you think they know that you are trying not to laugh? Of course they do, the sneaky buggers.
