Bruce Jenner to Sue Paparazzi Who Snapped Dress Photo

Earlier today, The New York Daily News scandalously published a photo of Bruce Jenner wearing a dress outside of his house in Malibu, Calif. The day that photo was taken,  Jenner had called the police in hopes of chasing off the paparazzi who were using telephoto lenses to snap photos of him through the windows. Sources say the cops arrived in a timely fashion and the photographers scattered from the premises, but clearly, the damage had already been done. Now, the 65-year-old Olympic champion is reportedly firing back against the paps who took the photos and the tabloid for published them. “Bruce has decided to take legal action because he is fed up with the constant invasion of his privacy,” a source tells  Radar Online . While tabloids and paparazzi have much more leeway in the U.S. than in other countries, it’s illegal for photographers to use telephoto lenses to essentially trespass on private property. As a result, Bruce may have a legitimate complaint here, and it may have been unlawful for the Daily News to purchase pictures that were clearly taken in such a way. The insider says that Jenner “can’t believe the gross invasion of his privacy” and will unleash the full fury of his legal team on any publications or paparazzi who step out of bounds. Jenner’s interview with Diane Sawyer – in which he reportedly plans to discuss the details of his sex change for the first time – will air on Friday. Sources say he hopes the long-awaited sit-down will help alleviate some of the media scrutiny he’s been placed under in recent weeks. Stay tuned.

Robert Downey Jr. Storms Out of Interview Following Questions About Drug Use, Imprisonment

With the release of  Avengers: Age of Ultron  just over one week away, the film’s A-list cast has been making the rounds to promote a sequel that really needs no promotion. Usually, this means playing Family Feud with Jimmy Kimmel and answering softball questions from the entertainment editor of the Palookaville Post, but earlier today, British journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy thought he’d take the opportunity to interrogate Robert Downey Jr. about his difficult past, and…well, it went about as well as you would think: Robert Downey Jr. Walks Out of Interview Downey keeps his cool admirably as the Guru-Murthy awkwardly segues from “How cool is Iron Man?” fluff to “What was it like to be an incarcerated drug addict?” hardball stuff. If watch closely, you can see RDJ struggling to suppress his rage, and he gets in some pretty funny jabs before your storming out.  (“Your foot’s starting to jump a little bit, you better get to your next question.” “It’s getting a little Diane Sawyer in here.”) Of course, this isn’t the first time that things between Iron Man and the press have gotten a bit “steely,” as Guru-Muthy lamely tweeted. Last year, Downey complimented a reporter’s breasts and referred to feminism as “make believe” in an interview that was every bit as awkward as it sounds. As much as we love RDJ unchained, we’re gonna have to encourage him to tone it down for the next few stops on the promo tour. You don’t wanna leave the public with a bunch of interviews that are more entertaining than the film you’re plugging. View Slideshow: 23 Celebs Who Did Time Behind Bars
