> Robert Downey Jr. reveals to Empire Magazine that he has Burger King to thank for helping him to overcome his addiction to drugs and alcohol.
The Iron Man actor says he was driving along California's Pacific Coast
Highway with a "ton of fucking dope" when he stopped off at Burger King
to grab something to eat. "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," he says.
Downey claims he then dumped all of his drugs into the ocean and vowed
then and there to get clean. We're sure execs at Burger King have already found a way to spin this -- perhaps a "Robert Downey Jr. rock bottom burger" will grace the menu sometime soon?
> TMZ.com has footage of actor Shia LaBeouf -- star of the new Indiana Jones movie -- calling his friend a faggot in order to secure a slap in the face. After seeing this clip we think it's fairly safe to say that any time the mini-Indy feels he needs another slapping -- or a bona fide beating to a pulp -- there will be a line of folks from here to West Hollywood who'll be more than happy to help him out.
> Rumors that High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale is HIV positive are "completely untrue," says the actress' rep. People magazine reports that several Internet posts alleged Tisdale contracted the disease last year when she went under the knife to get a nose job. YouTube videos with titles like "A Prayer for Ashley" and "A Tribute to Ashley" began to circulate shortly after the story surfaced. Because nothing says "we're sorry you've trivialized an international epidemic" like a viral video.
