$10 M. Thunder! Ben Stiller Buys Riverside Duplex from Zabar Scion
There’s something so inoffensive and smiley about Ben Stiller that he can make phallus-in-the-zipper jokes (or write and direct a Hollywood blockbuster that heavily features blackface) but still come across as a really amiable fellow who likes to stay in close proximity to his aging parents. So it makes sense that he just spent $10 million on a duplex in a prewar orange-brick co-op on Riverside Drive in the West 80s, the same building that his parents, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, have lived in for year

Tropic Thunder Makes it Rain on iTunes
Paramount announced today that Rain of Madness, the mockumentary chronicling the filming of Tropic Thunder's fictional war movie, is now available for free via download on Apple's iTunes. Spoofing Hearts of Darkness, Eleanor Coppola's legendary account of her husband's disastrous Apocalypse Now shoot, Rain of Madness recounts the various nightmares faced by Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black and the rest of the fictional cast and crew of Tropic Thunder.

'Bangkok' No. 1 at weak box office
It was the slowest weekend at the box office in five years. Nicolas Cage's action thriller "Bangkok Dangerous" needed just $7.8 million to take the top spot in ticket sales, according to studio estimates. The total weekend box-office gross was expected to reach just $66 million, less than the $66.7 million reported for the same weekend in September 2003. "Bangkok Dangerous," a remake of a 1999 Asian movie that opened on 2,650 screens, performed within Lionsgate's expectations, said Steve Rothenberg, the s

That’s It, Who Wants To Shave Robert Downey JR’s Mustache Off?
I first whined (pouted) about Robert Downey Jr.#8217;s mustache last month. I really don’t like it. It reminded me of his Chaplin character. Some of my friends commented that it actually reminded them of Sonny Bono. :( Looking at the new pictures, I’m this close to calling a shrink to cure my early signs of depression. Mustache, spiky hair??? Ahh, that’s too much to take. "); } //OBEND:do_NOT_remove_this_comment //--> Share This Related StoriesHere Goes Robert Downey J

Watch the first trailer for Downey Jr and Jamie Foxx in Joe Wright's The Soloist
It may not have lived up to expectations at the Oscars, taking just one gong (for best original soundtrack) out of a possible seven, but Atonement seems to have elevated director Joe Wright from Brit costume drama ingenue to bonafide Hollywood player. At the very least, he's now capable of attracting the likes of Robert Downey Jr.and Jamie Foxx, both of whom star in The Soloist, the first trailer for which we've posted above.

Pete's buddy, musician Tyga spilled the beans at the House of Hype's pre-VMA barbecue that Ashlee has been eating for three.  He said, "They're having twins. They're really happy." Way to pull a Jack Black, buddy. Also, what the hell? Is there something in the water? Everybody seems to be having
