Top 5 Macho Movie Men In Humiliating Costumes
So you played online poker for three hours and won a sum that a Polish minimum wage employee would snort derisively at. The disappointment you feel could not compare to that of these fine gentlemen of film after learning what the wardrobe department had in store for them. We’ve all had to wear tights for one reason or another in our life, but even the butchest of men struggle to pull off these fashion faux pas. So kick-starting the list is a man who drinks ugly and craps failure...

Film Foam: Terminator, Iron Man 2, Wheelman
Ciphering through the wasteland of recent movie related news, a few choice nuggets stick out between the tidal wave of trailers and clips that have submerged the internet recently. Sherlock Holmes is now blowing shit up instead of smoke rings and all creativity seemingly being lost, Hollywood enlists Peter Berg to direct an adaptation of the board game Battleships (Wasn’t that Crimson Tide?). If someone doesn’t shout out “You sunk my battleship” then something has truly gone awry. So at least this week has proved to be surprising! Here’s some more…

Blame Gwyneth Paltrow For Scarlett Johansson’s Weight Loss
Scarlett Johansson wants you to know that she don't need no steenkin' bosoms, or no steenkin' bottom. The actress, once famed for her Marilyn Monroe-like curves, has recently slimmed down and is a shadow of her former self. Rather than take the well-trodden path of just wearing spectacles or living in her gym clothes, when she wants to make herself comparatively ugly and be taken seriously as an actress, Scarlett has stripped herself bare. Gone is the long, blond mane of cascading curls. Gone is the hourglass silhouette. And worst of all, the famed ScarJo chichis are now barely a C cup!

Mickey Rourke To Star In Iron Man 2, Also Every Film Ever Made
Yesterday we implied that Mickey Rourke's comeback would consist of The Wrestler, a rubbish Stallone movie and nothing else. Turns out we couldn't have been more wrong. Mickey Rourke is hot property again - and he's proving it by also starring in Iron Man 2. According to reports, Iron Man director Jon Favreau is keen to have Rourke play the movie's villain. It's bittersweet news, really - Mickey Rourke must be thrilled by the enthusiasm in which he's been re-embraced by Hollywood, but it'll be a bitter blow to The Puppet Corpse Of Orson Welles. He really had his eye on that part, you know.

Terrence Howard Cobbed Off About Iron Man 2 Replacement
Iron Man 2 was going to be Terrence Howard's big chance to shine, at least until he got the boot in favour of Don Cheadle. Even now, nobody has any idea about why Terrence Howard was sacked from Iron Man 2 - not even Terrence Howard himself. In fact, Howard claims that he's still in the dark about it all. All he knows is that he's angry enough to wail about it to anyone close to him who happens to be holding a microphone. Still though, Terrence Howard will get the last laugh here. After all, Iron Man 2 might be one of the biggest movies in history, but can Don Cheadle look himself in the eye and say that he's making a rubbishy Karate Kid knock-off about street fighting that starts Channing Tatum? No. No he cannot. So in that respect, Terrence Howard wins. He loses the bits about being rich and famous and powerful, but he wins the Karate Kid bit.
