Is it easier to do well on Dancing with the Stars if you’re younger? Some competitors are asking that question after Disney star Zendaya Coleman, 16, ruffled some feathers Monday by saying age is “just a number.” “Using age is almost an excuse,” Coleman said after dancing into first place . “Age doesn’t mean anything. Age doesn’t mean I can’t work as hard.” “Age doesn’t mean I can’t do as well as everyone else out there.” On the contrary, some feel it could give her an unfair edge. “What is she talking about?” said Lisa Vanderpump. “You get out of bed with my 52-year-old body, damn it, and I’ll let you know who’s challenged.” “That annoyed the hell out of me, I’ve gotta say,” added D.L. Hughley, 50, though he was laughing . “Age is just a number when your number is very small.” The pros also weighed in. Karina Smirnoff, 35, added: “Age is only a number when you’re 16.” On the flip side, Zendaya Coleman says she is facing unique challenge that her fellow dancers – with the possible exception of Aly Raisman, 18 – aren’t. “The big difference is that I have to go to school every day,” she says. “When everybody else gets to rehearse for the show, I have to do school. When everybody else is in hair and makeup, I’m in school. That’s about it.” What do you think? Is age too big a factor on the show?
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want to take on Mandarin myself. But if you tell someone they’ll never see you coming, well then, their guard is probably gonna be up pretty high.

The Shane Black -helmed Iron Man 3 begins filming this month, but Marvel fans are still trying to piece together clues as to who, exactly, Iron Man is going up against in his post- Avengers threequel. The latest casting news doesn’t make it any clearer: James Badge Dale , most recently seen in The Grey and Shame , will play Eric Savin, a soldier known from Marvel lore. But will Dale also portray the character as the superpowered mercenary he transforms into in the comics? Said character is Coldblood, an enhanced robo-soldier who’s reconstructed after a land mine injury. But Variety ‘s report is careful to avoid confirmation that Dale will play Savin as Coldblood in the nanotech-themed sequel, which already has Ben Kingsley in place as its villain. Thoughts on how it’ll all come together? [ Variety ]
