Stars are people too, guys

First, the bad news. I think Robert Downey Jr. may have a substance abuse problem. I know, I know, it's surprising, but listen to our tale of woe. We saw RDJ's movie, "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints" (HATED it), and, all through the panel discussion he oddly rocked his body against the brick wall while wearing train conductor trousers and sky blue kicks. When our co-worker, the delightful and charming Charlie Brown, reminded RDJ of a night of drunkenness they shared together, Rob started screaming obscenities. Unnecessary! Then, to prove to the crowd he was a nice guy, he gave an autograph to this truly heinous woman who sat next to us and kept talking throughout the movie. Poor RDJ, too drug-addled to tell the difference.


However, our purely non-physical crush on Steve Carrell deepened yesterday morning when we saw his movie, "Little Miss Sunshine" (LOVED it). When a gawky, gushy fan told the cast he wanted to give them each a hug, Steve-O ran up the aisle and fulfilled the man's dream. Awwwwww! (p.s. Greg Kinnear is puffy!)

Finally, Rider Strong, of Boy Meets World fame (don't pretend you never watched it) not only rode the bus with us, but also saw a low-budge horror film last night at midnight. Rider (or, Sean, as we prefer to think of him) is looking much better these days, now that the Disney Channel is no longer dressing him.

p.s. Dave Matthews stuffed his ballot in Christina's box. Sources close to the singer claim he was "slow and gentle."
