Which Is More Shocking?
The fact that Robert Downey Jr. is growing that stash? Or the fact that Mr. T wears flip flops with socks?

Robert Downey Jr. Says He Doesn't Have Enough College To Understand Batman
"I feel like I’m dumb because I feel like I don’t get many things that are so smart.
"(The Dark Knight) is like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and scriptwriting and I’m like, ‘That’s not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.’ "I didn’t understand The Dark Knight… I still can’t tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and, in the end, they need him to be a bad guy. I’m like, ‘I get it - this is so high brow and so f**king smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.’"
-- Robert Downey Jr. on The Dark Knight's complexity
Katie Holmes And Tom Cruise Steal The Tropic Thunder
You can't expect anyone else to matter when Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise hit the red carpet. Even if it's technically not their movie to promote. Out of the 7 pages worth of photos I could purchase this morning of the Tropic Thunder premiere, more than half were of this famous couple. I barely could find one of Ben Stiller and he's the man character! I literally had to go back to the beginning and comb slowly through to find one of the funnyman.
Speaking of Ben, I guess he didn't get the memo that men don't wear shoes on the red carpet anymore. Robert Downey Jr. typically doesn't wear suit shoes, but he does at least put on a boot. Today it was all very fun and casual especially with Jack Black. Do you see his lightening jacket? That is hilarious!

Robert Downey Junior Gets Bentley As Thank You
I wish someone would hand me over a Bently as a thank you present. Oh wait... I've never brought in a half a billion dollars for someone. Perhaps that's why it hasn't happened yet. Well, Robert Downey Jr. got the surprise of his life when Iron Man execs handed over a $200,000 car to thank him for what he contributed to the film.
"Robert was shocked when they gave it to him. But he was so grateful and is so happy."

Indio Downey Has A Sense Of Humor
I LOVE how Robert Downey Jr.'s son is head to toe in Batman gear! I mean, you can't make this stuff up. He's like, 'Yeah, whatever Dad... you're Iron Man. But you ain't Batman!' Teenagers... :)
Here they are leaving the Urth Cafe in West Hollywood and headed to the Bodhi Tree Bookstore.

Bad Meal From Burger King Cleaned Robert Downy Jr. Of Drug Problems
They always say bad press is good press right? After all, it got Burger King into Iron Man, one of the most sought after movies of 2008.
While Robert Downey Jr. was in the middle of his drug and alcohol addiction, he made a pit stop at Burger King. While there, the food was so bad that it caused him to reevaluate his LIFE.
"I have to thank Burger King. It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen."
According to Britain’s Empire magazine, Downey Jr. proceeded to throw all his drugs into the ocean, resolving to clean up his act then and there.
UNREAL!
You can even see a hint of that fateful moment in Robert's new movie when his character Tony Stark requests a cheeseburger from Burger King after being released from his captors. Robert requested that scene have a place in the film as a tribute to his own life.

First of all, YEAHHH!! "Iron Man" was officially released today and I'm so excited. Both Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr. looked amazing as they attended the Los Angeles premiere of, "Iron Man" the other night.

I adore the picture of him kissing his wife Susan.Now onto Gwyneth, isn't she sexing it up a bit for the press run of the film. I like this new side of her!
