Robert Downey Jr. Compliments Interviewer’s Breasts, Calls Feminism "Make Believe"

Even though Robert Downey Jr. welcomed a baby girl this week, the Iron Man icon has recently been expressing some views that are likely to make even the most forgiving of feminists cringe. The first incident occurred while RDJ was discussing the possibility of Scarlett Johansson appearing in her own Avengers spinoff film during a panel discussion at Cambridge University. Asked if he “believe[s] in feminism,” Downey replied, “You bastard. Yeah, that’s all make believe, son.” Tough to read that response. Downey’s a sarcastic chap and he could’ve just been having fun with the college kid crowd. The other incident, however, leaves little room for interpretation: British television personality Lorraine Kelly claims that prior to a recent interview with Downey, the actor “blurted out, ‘Nice tits.'” Kelly says she was shocked at first, but she proceeded with the interview and took the comment in stride: “It could have been worse,” she said in a recent interview. “He could have said, ‘Oh, I don’t like them!’ It’s a difficult thing to respond to.” Yes, whether Downey is photobombing fans or complimenting the breasts of a revered British journalist, he’s got a Tony Stark-like ability to say things that would get most men smacked and get a smile in response instead. Whether or not he should say things like that, well…that’s a different story. Hopefully he doesn’t try that crap with Gwyneth Paltrow on the Iron Man set. She seems like the type who would cut him with a handcrafted, fair trade Burmese switchblade without a second thought. 2014’s Highest Paid Actors! 10.

Robin Williams Suffered From Paranoia, Anxiety in Days Before Death, Coroner’s Report Reveals

Shortly after Robin Williams committed suicide back in August, rumors began to surface as to what may have caused the comedy legend to take his own life. Williams’ wife revealed that the actor suffered from Parkinson’s disease  just days after he was found dead, and it was widely believed that the diagnosis contributed to his tragic final decision. While it remains likely that Williams’ was in a distraught state as a result of his illness, a newly released coroner’s report reveals that there were likely several other factors negatively influencing his mental state as well. The report states that Williams was suffering from paranoia and extreme anxiety in the weeks before his death. His family became concerned with his erratic behavior, and the report details one recent incident in which Williams placed several wristwatches in a sock and gave them to a friend for safe keeping. The report also cites the various avenues investigators pursued while attempting to determine possible causes of Williams’ depression. Police apparently questioned his wife as to whether Williams had expressed an interest in autoerotic practices. She said he had not, but that he had been profoundly upset by a scene in the film World’s Greatest Dad in which his character’s son dies of autoerotic asphyxiation. The toxicology results included in the coroner’s report indicate that four drugs were found in Williams’ system, but two were prescribed anti-depressants and two were caffeine compounds. Williams had checked into rehab several times throughout his life, but family and friends have confirmed that he was several years sober at the time of his death.

Brittany Murphy’s Body May Be Exhumed in Light of Poisoning Revelation

Officials from the L.A. County Coroner’s office may exhume the body of actress Brittany Murphy in light of recent reports about her death, but have not. Yet. Brittany Murphy to Be Exhumed? Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter says he has not been “presented with … the toxicology reports Brittany Murphy’s father (Angelo Bertolotti) had done.” “If there was an indication her death wasn’t from natural causes, we would probably exhume the body,” says Winter, adding that it’s not his call alone. “Her father could also have the body exhumed privately, without a court order.” Winter said if the coroner was to exhume the star’s body under the belief that Brittany Murphy was poisoned , his office would in fact need a court order. Fingernails and more hair samples could be available if the body is exhumed. In 2010, the Coroner concluded Murphy’s death was an accident caused by a combination of pneumonia, an iron deficiency and “multiple drug intoxication.” A report commissioned by Murphy’s father possibly revealed otherwise. Brittany Murphy Cause of Death: Poison? The presence of heavy metals in Brittany it says, were “2-9 times higher than the levels identified by the World Health Organization as being considered ‘high.'” Her husband, Simon Monjack , died months later, also under suspicious circumstances. Heavy metals are commonly found in rat poison and insecticides. Addiction specialist Dr. Damon Raskin tells Fox News that he examined the findings and found the “results seem very suspicious for foul play.” “Other than lab error, there is no other good medical explanation for these abnormal levels … therefore, some type of poisoning is clearly a possibility.” L.A. physician Dr. Shilpi Agarwal said it was unlikely that Murphy had this in her system without being given supplements or unintentionally ingesting them. However, forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden said the results were “interesting, but not evidence of foul play .” He offered an alternate theory. “The grouping of heavy metals is more suggestive of hair product use – dyes, soaps, heat, etc. – than of rat poison,” Baden said, so it’s still unclear.
