Stars Promise You Naked Mark Ruffalo Scene If You Vote


2.2 million views in one day.

One of my mostest favorite actors, Mark Ruffalo, appears alongside fellow Avengers Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson (and a whole lot of stars) for a new voting campaign - "Save The Day."

Cause, that's what Avengers do - save the day.

From TIME:
In case anyone needed an extra incentive to vote in this fall’s presidential election, Avengers director Joss Whedon has enlisted a bevy of celebrities and the possibility of a Mark Ruffalo nude scene to urge people to vote.

In a video campaign for his PAC titled “Save the Day,” A-list celebrities such as Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore rub shoulders with small screen stars like Matt McGorry, Jesse Williams and Neil Patrick Harris to encourage Americans to vote this November.

Like Hollywood get-out-the-vote efforts of years past, the video mostly encourages voters to do their civic duty, but there’s a hint that at least some of the stars would also prefer if you cast your ballot against Republican nominee Donald Trump. Actor Don Cheadle doesn’t mention Trump but does refer (not for the first time) to “a racist, abusive coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society.”

The video also promises, tongue in cheek, that if voters do their part, actor Mark Ruffalo will do a full-frontal nude scene in his next film.

Wait, wait, wait - what's this "tongue in cheek" stuff, TIME? I want my full-frontal, naked Ruffalo.

Scarlett Johansson herself promises he'll be going "full monty."

I want the "full Marky."

Please vote. #ImWithHer

New Spider-Man Drops In For New "Captain America: Civil War" Trailer


The new Spider-Man finally makes his debut in the latest trailer for “Captain America: Civil War.”

Iron Man calls on Spidey (or “Underoos,” as he hilariously refers to him), who’s evidently on his team, to use his web powers to steal Captain America’s shield and bind his arms.

“Hey, everyone,” Tom Holland’s character then says, perched on a car roof, in the final moments of the second trailer.

In theaters May 6, the action flick pits Captain America (Chris Evans) against Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.).

First Trailer for "Captain America: Civil War"


First trailer from the upcoming "Captain America: Civil War" is out, and it delivers.

Chris Evans' "Captain America" faces off against Robert Downey Jr.'s "Iron Man" in an effort to protect former side-kick "Bucky Barnes," played by the Auber-handsome Sebastian Stan.

Looks like the whole Avengers team makes an appearance throughout the film.

"Captain America: Winter Soldier" rocked, and this looks just as good. I applaud Marvel for keeping their super hero universe so intertwined across so many movies.

The new movie hits theaters May 6, 2016.

Robert Downey Jr. Does Not Suffer Neophyte Journalists Lightly


If you've ever wanted to watch a train wreck of an interview...

We see interviews on Entertainment Tonight or Access Hollywood all the time. Here's what happens when an amateur attempts an professional interview.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy of Channel 4 gets a slot to interview Robert Downey Jr. for the premiere of Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

But the reporter thinks he's somehow nabbed a chance to do some in-depth, past-delving interview and brings up Downey's drug past.

The actor's eyes tell all the entire interview as he sense's something gone awry, and eventually shuts the chat down.

I'm married to a successful publicist, and I've tagged along on enough high-level interviews to know that RDJ is looking to the movie's PR person out of some sense of "what the hell is happening here???"

He's classy that he left it was he did.

Bravo, Iron Man.

Iron Man Delivers Bionic Arm To Seven Year-Old


Thanks to hubby Michael for pointing this out. 31 million views in two days.

Robert Downey Jr. and Albert Manero, a #CollectiveProject student who founded Limbitless, surprised a very special child with a new bionic 3D printed arm at no cost to the family.

From Robert Downey Jr.'s Facebook page:

Had the absolute privilege of presenting a brand spanking new 3D-printed bionic Iron Man arm to Alex, the most dapper 7-year-old I’ve ever met.

Special thanks to Albert Manero, OneNote, and #CollectiveProject for their work making artificial limbs like this more affordable for families with kids who want to show the playground how badass they are.

Avengers Assemble for dying fan's wish

Chris Evans ("Captain America")

Stratford Caldecott, dying from prostate cancer, had a last dying wish - one that became one of the greatest superhero gifts ever.

Stratford, a big Marvel comics fan, wanted to live long enough to be able to see The Avengers: Age Of Ultron. So his daughter Sophie, with nothing to lose, posted the following request on her personal blog:

"We’re going to try and get in touch with Marvel to ask if they can fulfill dad’s dying wish by sending us a copy of the film for him to watch at home. But I think we can go further than that. We’re also going to tweet the Avengers actors and see if they will take a picture of themselves holding a sign saying ‘Captain America/Thor/Iron Man [insert name of character here] for Strat!’ so that we can surprise him with their messages of support and encouragement."

So what happens next?

Shortly thereafter, a Marvel executive arrived at her door, followed by Captain America: The Winter Soldier screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely with a promise to deliver a copy of the movie to her dad.

But - it gets better. Look below...

Heroes do sometimes appear in the nick of time.

Sting and Robert Downey Jr. - "Driven To Tears"



Robert Downey Jr just got that much cooler.

I'd never seen this until now. RDJ sings at Sting's 60th birthday bash at Beacon Theatre in New York, 2011. Other guests who joined the policeman included Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen.

Avengers movie to be released on DVD this coming Tuesday


Who's excited about the release of the Avengers movie on DVD this coming Tuesday?

Make you sure pre-order now so it's conveniently delivered to your home and all you have to do is pop in the video machine-y thing and enjoy Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner and Robert Downey Jr. save the world.

I loved the movie this summer.  I thought it had just the right balance of action and humor.  Loved the dialogue between the heroes.  And they're not hard to look at either.

My copy in on the way! Love Amazon shopping.  It's like gifts just show up at the door :)

Paramount's 100th Anniversary in Vanity Fair Magazine


Cameron Diaz, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey, JR., Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta, Robert De Niro and Tom Cruise were among the movie superstars who gathered at Paramount Studios' fabled Lot 18 for an eye-popping 'class' photo to celebrate the film Mecca's 100th birthday.

Photographer Art Streiber shot the star-studded group snap for Vanity Fair.

The epic moment wasn't lost on Charlize Theron: "There are moments in your life where you find yourself in circumstances where you just have to pinch yourself. I got to rest my hand on Harrison Ford's shoulder, while Steven Spielberg was standing next to me - not too shabby."

In total 116 superstars and movie executives turned up for the once-in-a-lifetime shoot, photographed on the soundstage that housed the Star Trek TV and movie franchises.
