Johnny Depp Named Sexiest Man Alive

Johnny Depp has been named People's Sexiest Man Alive for the second time. He is the third man to receive this honor, along with Brad Pitt and George Clooney. A spokesperson for People Magazine stated, "At 46, the father of two still reigns as Hollywood's most irresistible iconoclast; as one-of-a-kind as his beloved 15 year-old-boots and as smoldering as his favorite Cuban cigars. He has had women swooning since his days as a teen detective on '21 Jump Street'."

Reports circulated earlier this week that Twilight hottie Robert Pattinson was taking the Sexiest Man crown this year. However, Depp's sexiness reigns supreme.

Hugh Jackman, last year's recipient of this prestigious honor, is elated that the "pressure's off" of him now. He says, "I can be a slob again."

Also featured on 2009's Sexiest Men list include: Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, David Beckham, Bradley Cooper, Gilles Marini, Nick Cannon, Chris Daughtry, and Robert Downey Jr.

Iron Man Two - Too Much Information

The buzz with Iron Man 2 is in keeping with the Iron Man concept. Tech heavy. Director Jon Favreau is twittering about it. He posted his own exclusive photo from the set recently. See Below:
So what's with the doughnut shop? Iron Man takes a comedic turn in this scene where he stops for box of doughnuts and Nick Fury calls up from ground level asking if he wants coffee with them. Here he is sitting in the dougnut.

Iron Man 2 is set to release in June of 2010. There are a lot of Marvel titles set to release in tandem with a great deal of cross over in the cards. Most fanboys are waiting for all the individual characters whom make up the Avengers to get films complete so the assembled Avengers team up movie can be made featuring Tony Stark and Nick Fury.

Iron Man 2 cast update

Can you say "Ya nim-noga penny myuichka Pa-Rooskee?" Let's hope Scarlett Johansson can.

The revolving door of cast members in Iron Man 2 has made another turn in just two days, and the rumor is that Scarlett Johansson has snatched the coveted role of Black Widow, the Ruskia agent and probable love interest of Tony Stark in the next Iron Man movie.

While others has reportedly wanted the role and some actively sought out the role, Scarlett stole the job without batting an eye. Only days ago Eliza Dushku rolled out her own Internet campaign to earn the job who also has learned some Russian.

Meanwhile for those of you not in the know, Robert Downey Jr. has ended speculation that Mickey Rouke is part of the production. The role of Crimson Dynamo is now officially up for grabs again. Heck, who knows--maybe Crimson isn't even in the next film. The loose lips in the production of the film may be the cause of such changes and shake-ups.

Go Figure Robert Downey Jr. ...recovering addict is the most honest celeb

Oscar nominees Robert Downey Jr, Brad Pitt, and Anne Hathaway and Frank Langella recently took part in a round table discussion running up to this Oscar season. In it the celebrities did the usual tooting of their own horns. But one question brought out the BS-meters. We all have a BS Meter, and we regular people use when we watch the news or anything on TV. It's how we tell when we are being lied to and expected to buy it as the truth. After all, how many of us believe everything we hear and see on TV?

The group was asked if they ever Internet searched their own names. Taking the politically safe answer, Anne Hathaway at first denied it as if it would make her a narcissist. After all, I don't any of us regular folk consider Hollywood actors and actresses as vain self-serving out of touch with reality types. They are just... people. Right? And normal people do in fact google themselves, especially if they are smart. Right away my BS-meter goes off when Anne Hathaway denies googling herself. Fraud, narcissist.

Brad Pitt, wow. My man Brad. The guy we men aspire to be like... His answer? "Dear God. No. Never. First of all, I don't really know how to operate a computer."

Now I have to ask myself, do I believe this? It's either total BS or Brad is a modern day dumb azz. He can act like he is smart, but he is not actually smart? Is this why he fell for Angelina? Don't get me wrong, what man would toss that body out of bed, but do you marry such a woman? I can speak from experience a woman that good looking has one goal, to dominate you. Brad must have one thing going for him when I seen answer such as this. The guy can act! You wait folks, years from now when he and she are divorced. He'll want his balls back.

Which brings us to Robert Downey Jr. A man that has served hard time in jail for screwing up over and over. His pure willpower and talent is what has kept him alive I'm sure of it. But most of all, the guy is real. He opens his mouth and real words come out. If you ask me which of these guys I'd want to go play paintball with or go fishing, I have to admit ...now it's Robert Downey Jr. Why? Because he's not full of crap.

Downey chimed in with his answer to the google question: "Oh, I love all that (expletive) personally. Sorry. I love just it. Because it's a hoot. Some people overstate their support, like they know you. Other people are busy doing something else and just want to go on this chat site and say some despicable character assassination, which I honestly think: 'They kind of nailed it. I do have that shortcoming.' It's really fun."

Now of course sensing it's safe to now go into the water what does Hathaway do? She comes clean: "OK, I have a confession. I lied before when you asked if I Googled myself. I do. I'm embarrassed by it because I know how terrible it is. ... For a while, it cracked me up. I found a ton of humor in it. But recently it's changed. There's a big difference now where information is being reported as news. And I'm very uncomfortable with that." Go figure folks.

You have to ask yourself. Why is it we listen to these people at all? And to think thousands if not millions of Americans hang on the words of some of these celebrities for political insight and answers.

Well... at least they can act which if you think about it, is a lot of BS.

A freak accident on the set of Robert Downey Jr.'s latest movie was less 'Iron Man' and more iron chin.

The Sun reports that Downey Jr. was knocked unconscious when a 350-pound stuntman accidentally punched him during a scene they were filming for 'Sherlock Holmes.' According to the report, Downey Jr. was "out cold" and was "drooling blood" when he came to.

An insider tells the Sun that the 'Iron Man' and 'Tropic Thunder' star was "accidentally caught on the chin by a thundering hook. He went flying and was out cold."

The source says Downey Jr. "didn't want to go to hospital and kept trying to get up. He's a trooper."

The Sun also reports that the day after the incident, Downey Jr's costar Jude Law (Dr. Watson) had to scramble to safety with director Guy Ritchie when a gas tanker exploded.

"The crew have started joking about the curse of Sherlock Holmes." the source said.

(I blame Madonna...!)

Attention Super-Hero Fans!

Robert Downey Jr: Actor often talks about his time in prison

Robert Downey Jr says he can’t resist telling tales about his time in prison.

The Tropic Thunder actor says they always prove popular at parties.

‘Jailhouse stories really bring the house down,’ he says.

But Robert, 43, thinks it's unhealthy to keep revisiting the past.

‘It’s the sociopath using his trauma as currency,’ he tells Sunday Times magazine.

‘Bad form, self-deprecation, another character flaw.'

Robert spent time in jail for drug possession in the 90s.
