MOST UNEXPECTED MOMENT AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES: JODIE FOSTER CAME OUT!

Cheers to Jodie foster! For YEARS she has been sensitive about her personal life, although it was common knowledge in Hollywood that she was gay and nobody cared. She was admired for her long and stellar career and intelligence. We always thought she felt uncomfortable with her “secret.” Two of her closest actor friends, Robert Downey Jr, and Mel Gibson, were with her at The Golden Globes and we have a feeling they encouraged her to open up about the fact that she’s gay now that she has turned 50. For the first time she acknowledged her “ex partner in love and heroic co-parent “ Cydney Bernard. It WAS a surprise and a nice moment – especially with her two sons looking on with approval.

GUY RITCHIE TURNED MILD-MANNERED SHERLOCK HOLMES INTO A SUPERSLEUTH

Sherlock Holmes’ nemesis Mark Strong is the hottest villain in any movie we can remember. If you think you know what Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes” is going to be like, you’re probably wrong. Guy has turned Holmes (Robert Downey Jr) into a Superhero! The sets and costumes are gorgeous and appropriate, but this is an ACTION MOVIE, not unlike Batman. Explosions, crashes, and life threatening situations abound with special effects – aimed at the teenage boy mentality. We prefer a more cerebral Holmes with an intricate plot and clues, but this might be right up your alley.

GUESS WHO THIS FAMILIAR FACE IS!

We NEVER would have guessed this was Robert Downey Jr! Maybe it’s the face he’s making or the facial hair, but he looks like an entirely different person in this photo taken in New York during fashion week. Robert is working constantly, pumping out movies (including Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes,”) so there’s no recession in his life.

ROBERT DOWNEY JR'S SHERLOCK IS HOTTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

Guy Ritchie looks like he’s making a comeback. His RocknRolla was surprisingly entertaining, and now he’s filming Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr in the title role. Robert’s clothing makes him look less stuffy than the usual Holmes, and rather modern in a neo-romantic way. This photo was taken at a London location. Rachel McAdams is costarring with Jude Law as Dr Watson. Oh, and Mark Strong, that good looking guy who played Archie in RocknRolla is in it too.

WE NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED THIS IS ROBERT DOWNEY JR

We’re amazed and fascinated by the fact that both of these photos are of Robert Downey Jr. He makes a plausible black man, doesn’t he? Robert is made up for his role in Ben Stiller’s new comedy “Tropic Thunder.” It’s a satire about hammy actors thrown into unexpected jungle circumstances. London papers are trying to stir up indignation by saying Downey’s insulting in “black face” and suggesting they should have hired a black actor for the role. Ridiculous. It’s just a comedy. Maybe it’ll be funnier than Ben’s usual gross-out movies.

COSTARS ROBERT DOWNEY JR AND BEN STILLER SOCIALIZE AFTER WORK

Il Sole again. Ben Stiller and his wife Christine had dinner with Robert Downey Jr and his wife Susan last night. They had plenty to talk about. Ben and Robert are currently filming Tropic Thunder in Hawaii. That’s the movie where Matthew McConaughey replaced Owen Wilson and Tom Cruise MIGHT be doing a cameo. Downey’s blonde hair is hard to get used to.
