Head turning stories (March 7, 2008)

"Black" Robert Downey Jr?!

STORY: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=528496&in_page_id=1773

When I first saw this picture I couldn't tell it was Robert a.k.a. Tony Stark from May's big-budget film Iron Man. Now controversy erupted when news broke that a white man had been cast to play a black man's role on Ben Stiller's latest directorial effort Tropic Thunder.
Is this really something to be outraged by? Could a black actor pull this off better? Or is it brave of a white actor to pull off a black man? Well, he fooled me into thinking the dude in the picture is black!!

Anyone complaining about Michael Jackson pretending to be a white?

Tropic Thunder is set to open August 15.

She's still got it!


Here's a little glamor for you. In fact, here's more than you can handle. Catherine Zeta-Jones (38) proves she still beautiful and reminds guys like me why we envy Michael Douglas. He's 20 years older than her! Talk about the ultimate trophy wife!

*ahem*
