We sure hope not!

In the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, Sherlock Holmes star Robert Downey Jr. discusses his comeback and why he is considering leaving it all behind.

He says:

“I have no set plans for my future. I’ve never had it this good — this is my day in the sun — and I certainly don’t want to look a gift horse in the molars. But [my wife] Susan and I want to begin to be in our lives as much as we are in our jobs. I’d love just to sit here and say, ‘What movie’s playing tonight?’ I’d love to finish the new book about D-day I’m reading. I love painting, I love music.”

“I’m f—ing really good at what I do — and have been for a long time, so I don’t waver on that. But here’s the thing: I can only be a guy on a call sheet probably, I don’t know, maybe a couple more times. It’s something I’m so grateful to have in my palm, and yet I already see its inevitable decay."

“If Sherlock Holmes performs well, I could be busy for the next 5 or 7 or 10 years.”

We hope he'll be busy, dammit!

Don't quit on us now!!!!

Despite Microsoft's decision to pull out of sponsoring Sunday's Family Guy Presents: Seth and Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show due to "content concerns", Warner Bros. isn't afraid to put their movie promotion money where their mouth is!

The studio will take over the endorsement to promote their holiday blockbuster Sherlock Holmes, with Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law.

The Family Guy special is supposed to be HIGHlarious, but we can't wait to get our hands on the deleted scenes. Supposedly, a sequence in the show about Miley Cyrus and her relationship with her father has been cut from the final product!

The upcoming musical Nine with its star-studded cast of Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard and Dame Judi Dench is being pushed back to a wide-release on Christmas Day.

Originally the film was supposed to see a Thanksgiving weekend release, but now it will take on the Christmas box office competing with Robert Downey, Jr. in Sherlock Holmes and Meryl Streep in It's Complicated.

The Weinstein Company asserts that the later release is not because of production delays, so why the change?

It does look like a pretty glitzy, glamorous flick! More suited to the Christmas spirit perhaps?

Although the film is about a director and his affairs with multiple women, so maybe not.

Are U looking forward to seeing Nine?

Good choice!

Robert Downey Jr. has snagged the coveted lead role in Steven Spielberg's remake of Harvey.

Harvey was originally a Pulitzer prize-winning play that was eventually made into a movie in 1950 starring Jimmy Stewart.

Downey would take on the role of kooky character Elwood P. Dowd who befriends an invisible six foot rabbit named Harvey.

Both Will Smith and Tom Cruise were also said to be up for the role.

Pretty stiff competition, but we really like RDJ and think that he will do well!

Maybe he'll even garner some Oscar buzz as Jimmy Stewart was nominated for Best Actor in this role!

The first one hasn't even hit theaters yet, but Warner Bros. is already getting the Sherlock Holmes sequel off the ground.

Along with bringing in new writers and securing Robert Downey Jr. to reprise his role as the great Sherlock Holmes, there is also a plan in place to nab Brad Pitt for a new role.

Brad, Robert, and Jude Law all in one flick?! DO IT!!!!!!!

Brad would be playing Moriarty, Holmes’ arch nemesis, a character who remains unrecognizable and hidden in shadow throughout the first film. However, if Brad is to sign on and does so before the December release, there is a chance that Guy Ritchie will step in to bring a shot or two of Brad for the first film.

This thing sounds like it could pretty epic. Hopefully, it won't be a total let down.

Do U think this could be the next big franchise or the next big flop?

No one ever had an unkind word about DJ AM!

A day after his burial, hundreds of guests gathered at the Hollywood Palladium on Thursday night to pay their respects to the beloved celebrity deejay (aka Adam Goldstein).

Some recognizable faces in attendance included former fiancée Nicole Richie along with Lindsay Lohan, saMAN Ronson, Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart, Robert Downey Jr, John Mayer, Tom Arnold, Dr. Drew and Jon Favreau.

"He was my soulmate and now he is my soul," girlfriend Haley Wood told the crowd at the almost 3 hours service. "He is my amazing grace."

Adam will be greatly missed.

It is the new frontier for geeks everywhere. Films left and right are being converted into High Definition 3D and word is, not only is the sequel to Iron Man getting the boost for it's release, but also the original.

At this moment, a one minute, 3D demo of Iron Man 2 is being shuttled around through the execs at Marvel, Paramount, and Disney to see if it is worth the money.

Personally, we think it would be cool for theatergoers to experience the action literally in their faces. We just hope they also offer the flick in regular, old, boring, flat film for those who don't need Robert Downey Jr.'s iron fist coming directly at them.

What do U think?

For those of you who feel like Twilight is too pansy for the vampire lore and Robert Pattinson is too sparkly to be scary, then get ready, because Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles is making a comeback to film, and the leading man is to die for!

Robert Downey Jr. is in heavy talks to play the vampire Lestat, a role made famous by Tom Cruise in Interview With The Vampire, in a prequel explaining Lestat's origins. The only problem we can foresee is that Rob might just be a little long in the tooth to play the role, as Lestat was changed at the mere age of twenty-something.

But we wouldn't mind the discrepancy for a chance to see this Rob fang out.

What do U think?

Does Guy Ritchie have a new girlfriend???

Madge's ex has been spotted spending some quality time with 26-year-old Iron Man actress Mellany Gandara all over Londontown!

Ritchie reportedly met Gandara through Robert Downey Jr., who starred in Iron Man with Mellany and is in Ritchie's upcoming flick, Sherlock Holmes.

Guy and Mellana were most recently seen at Ritchie's pub, The Punch Bowl, where onlookers say the Iron Man actress "looked very at ease in his company."

If Madge can date a 20-something, so can Guy!
