Check out the first picture from IRON MAN 2 with Robert Downey Jr.Thanks to USA Today, we finally get more of Tony Stark aka Robert Downey Jr.
Jon Favreau is also back behind the camera and if number 2 is as good as number 1 was, I think we're in for a treat.
Favreau told USA Today that the movie "takes place six months after Tony Stark revealed his identity as Iron Man, and the development is playing out with unexpected results."

Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx wants to make a biopic based on the life of boxing legend Mike Tyson.
Foxx, who won critical acclaim for his portrayal of soul legend Ray Charles in the flick 'Ray', admitted that he would love to portray Mike in a flick.
"I think I would have to play Mike Tyson. I've talked to Mike several times and his story is the most tragic American story... Mike's story is about what America and the world is about today," Contactmusic quoted Foxx, as saying.
"Coming up at 18 years old and getting his $60 million and not teaching him what taxes are about, about vultures, about people who will never be real with you as long as you have the money," Foxx added.
Foxx revealed that he has already started working on his dream project.
"I'm working on securing the rights to the movie," Foxx said.
That is one movie I won't be watching nor will care to miss.

Scarlett Johansson's dream of being a director was dashed on her first try.
Johansson -- who's said in the past she'd prefer to direct rather than act -- helmed a segment for the upcoming movie "New York, I Love You," a series of intertwined love stories shot by several auteurs, including Brett Ratner and Natalie Portman.
But unfortunately for Johansson, her segment, starring Kevin Bacon and shot in black and white, was deemed "unwatchable," sources said.
The film's producer, Emmanuel Benbihy, said Johansson's bit ended up in the scrapheap not because it was bad, but because "the story did not specifically involve an interpersonal relationship, and it was conceptualized to be filmed in black and white -- both of which were extreme departures from the other films."

Thousands of mourners have arrived at the church where Jade Goody's funeral is being held.Jade Goody's distraught widower Jack Tweed opened her funeral service by reading a moving poem in tribute to his 'brightest star'.
Entitled 'If Only' the poem he penned told how the couple's love was cut cruelly short by cancer and how he desperately wishes for his wife back.
One line read: "If only tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane we would walk the path to heaven and bring you back again." (Got news for you folks, he did not pen that, but it's still sweet nonetheless.)

Sarah Michelle Gellar is reportedly in talks to reprise her role as Buffy the Vampire Slayer - for a movie.
The 31-year-old actress ended her role as Buffy in 2003 after a six-year run.
Now the feisty character could be making a return on the big screen.
An insider says, "There is an idea for a script and to pick the story up with Buffy older and maybe even a mother.
"Michelle is busy with movie projects at the moment but she is excited about the idea. Buffy still has a huge fan-base so this is a movie that already has an audience.

Happy Birthday to Robert Downey Jr. who turns 44 today.
Robert currently riding high on his success in 2008 (Iron Man and Tropic Thunder), both commercially sound and picking up an oscar nod for the second. Over the next year he's got The Soloist (meh comments from Showest) and Sherlock Holmes coming up. That should keep him in the spotlight for at least next couple of years.
During the press junket of "The Soloist" Friday, April 3, Robert Downey Jr. has finally broken the silence over "Iron Man 2" possible plot. When asked by MTV whether this "Iron Man" sequel will be based on the "Demon in a Bottle" storyline, he responded by saying, "Not really. As a matter of fact, I think that's probably best saved because it's such its own storyline."

For so long Johnny Depp, John Cusack, Will Smith and well who cares all other names escape me. After seeing Iron Man this evening I can firmly and without doubt assure you my celebrity crush is Robert Downey, Jr. And quite frankly I don't care that he is in his 40s.Now ladies, I know, you probably are scoffing at me as he has never really played a role in which he was heart throb worthy. However, I am certain there are many, many, many, MANY women fantasizing about Robert Downey, Jr. now.
Obviously Tony Stark is a heart throb comic icon. I mean everything about his character is ruthless and yet so charismatic. My God what is must have felt to be Pepper! Look at him all buff for the part I definitely have a thing for shoulders, that perfect facial hair scruff! Hot damn!
So then I began my research.
Here is an interview snippet: Whilst his character was encased in metal, Downey Jr. still had to prepare physically, to ensure he wouldn’t look out of place getting into his armour. "I trained a lot! If you're 22 or 32 you train for 6 weeks and look great for 6 months. Whereas I trained for 6 months and look good for about 6 seconds." Hehehe.
And I found this site. How did I not know he had an album released in 2004!? His song "Broken" is utterly amazing. I am going to have to buy the album now.
Yes, yes I am ga-ga!
Pardon me while I drool, sigh a little and bite my lip a bit. I hope his wife Susan knows how lucky she is...I mean even though she is beautiful and probably makes him wicked lucky, too.
I whole heartedly agree in the ratings, though I would give it 4 stars. The acting, the effects, the music all of it was fantastic. Braeden and I waited until the credits ended and yes there is something to wait for. I wasn't sure, but I had to wait, I had to know. And I am sooooooooooooo excited at the prospects. The last minute clip showed Samuel Jackson and gave us a teaser for The Avengers!

You should know lovelies that Jennifer Love Hewitt and Patrick Dempsey have been voted the sexiest television stars by TV Guide. I have to say I am in agreement. I simply adore both of those stars. I appreciate Jennifer Love Hewitt's curves and willingness to not be a skeleton like many other actresses. And of course McDreamy has the best smile ever!"The Ghost Whisperer" star "has a great strut," says the magazine. "She's from Texas, so there's a little bit of cowgirl in her." Dempsey, says TV Guide, has "a beautiful head of hair, piercing eyes and dazzling smile."

In other news, Iron Man comes out in theaters this Friday. I think I might be more excited than my son to see it. I'm definitely going to try and get him to see it on opening night. I know it will be a crowded mess, but I'm so wanting to see this flick!

And I am sure you have heard by now that John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston are dating. It cracks me up. Five years ago John Mayer was touring little cafes and bars and talking to his fans one on one in parking lots. Now he is reclining with Jennifer Aniston next to some hige celebrity pool. lol. Good for them...I guess. Though I think she deserves better than him. I've "seen" him with too many people lately.
