Rumors, Truths and Summer Movies

For those of you who enjoyed Robert Downey, Jr. in "Iron Man" you'll have another chance to see him this summer in his August movie "Tropic Thunder." Somehow I doubt it will be as big a hit as "Iron Man."

Tropic Thunder, doesn't sound like my cup of tea. The director is none other than Ben Stiller and his cast of comedic actors attempt to poke holes in the movie industry, spoofing everything from iconic action heroes to the embarrassing obnoxiousness of professional comedians to racial stereotypes facing non-white actors. This kind of satire is typically not something I find amusing. Sorry.

Recently, Gavin Rossdale was interviewed and asked what it is like to be married to Gwen Stefani. His answer bothers me, but was probably made as a joke. "It's like marrying three different people a week, because you never know who's going to come out of the bathroom."

One of the cruelest rumors I have ever heard from the land of Hollywood came about this week in reference to Ashley Tisdale. Someone started a rumor that the actress has HIV. If this had been true it of course would be very upsetting. It was said she contracted the virus after a stay in the hospital. She and her reps have said it is completely untrue. I feel extremely awful for her.

Julia Roberts' daughter has psychic powers - she knew her baby brother was going to be born prematurely, and even guessed the day. Rock on!

And...Clint Eastwood told Spike Lee he needed to "shut his face." It didn't go over well.
