10 Celebrities Who Got Their Shit Together

June 17th, 2014 By Krysta Fitzpatrick

Often times in Hollywood, once someone hits rock bottom, it’s not often you see them make any sort of come back. I mean, I’ve been praying for almost 10 years for Lindsay Lohan to get her shit together and I’m pretty sure God is really over rolling his eyes at me.

However, sometimes people who are mega hot messes turn it around and get their shit together and seemingly keep it together (so Charlie Sheen won’t be on this list. That man flip flops more than a mermaid on the beach..terrible analogy, but I’m tired). Here are 10 celebs that were once wild and tragic, but pulled it together and went on to be successful at life.

Disney Changes The Name Of The Avengers, Let’s All Blame Honor Blackman

February 29th, 2012 By Robin Darke

Hands up if you were excited seeing The Avengers when it gets released in April. Well we?ll just go ahead and chop those hands off because it seems that you won't be seeing The Avengers anytime soon. Nope. Disney has decided that the great British public, those responsible for making Katie Price a business woman, are too stupid to realise that a film being released in 2012 has absolutely no similarities to a 1960s TV show.

What's that about?

What's that about, indeed hecklersprayers? Disney, who bought Marvel Entertainment in 2009 for $4 billion, thinks that you're too stupid to differentiate between different characters four decades apart. Too stupid to realise that Captain America never appeared with John Steed. Too bumbling to see that Scarlett Johansson was clearly too young to be in it.

Marvel’s The Avengers Trailer Looks Really, Really Stupid

August 5th, 2012 By Mof Gimmers

One of the big talking points from the Super Bowl commercial break was… well… Clint Eastwood. Away from that though, there’s a little excitement surrounding the trailer for Marvel’s The Avengers movie.

While most superhero flicks are brooding like Batman at the moment, it appears that The Avengers film is going to be pleasingly dumb, if the trailer is anything to go by.

So if you want to see it, strap in and watch things explode with?Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) and Hulk get into a giant scrap with a fella with long, greasy hair.

Sherlock Holmes Game Of Shadows Trailer: BOOM! CRASH! SLOW MOTION SHOTS! RUNNING! TREES! BLOOD! BANG! [Video]

October 20th, 2011 By Michael Park

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most abiding detective characters in literary history. Along with his sycophantic companion, Dr John Watson, the amateur consulting detective uses his powers of deduction to solve the most fiendishly cryptic cases in Victorian London amazing one and all with his capacity for lateral thinking and disguise as he does so.

Conan Doyle’s books have been adapted for television, radio and film on many occasions and every iteration of the classic stories brings its own idea of how the Holmes/Watson dynamic works. Just look at ‘Sherlock’, the BBC’s surprisingly enjoyable updating of the series which began with a reimagining of A Study In Scarlet and you can see that the world of Sherlock Holmes is as relevant to today’s audiences as those half a century ago.

Will Iron Man 3 Be Any Good? Don't Ask Shane Black

April 4th, 2011 By Paul Pencott

You know Shane Black don't you? Scriptwriter of the first (and lest we forget, very good) Lethal Weapon (directed by Richard Donner, director of the original brilliant Superman), massively under-rated Last Boy Scout, Long Kiss Goodnight, director AND scriptwriter of utter geek-fest Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?

Well, he was all set to write and direct Iron Man 3 and everything was going to be LITERALLY brilliant. Reports now are that he's just been demoted from scriptwriting and directing duties on Iron Man 3 and will only direct instead.

Which is like demoting James Bond to an office-administrator.

Robert Downey Jr. Is Nuts

August 17th, 2012 By Paul Pencott

Robert Downey Jr. is nuts! Do you know why? Is it because of the time he was pulled-over for speeding and the police found cocaine, heroin and .357 Magnum on him? Or the time he was so well-lit he wandered into his neighbour?s house and fell asleep on one of his beds? Or the whole ?I've got bi-polar… actually no I haven't? thing?

Or the time he knowingly agreed to appear in dreadful theatre of self-involvement Ally McBeal?

Actually it might be that last one. Anyway! No! It's because he has become the voice of well-known fictional aristocratic peanut ?Mr.Peanut?! Do you see what we did there?

Robert Downey Jr Thought Prison Was A Good Craic Or Something

November 4th, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

Robert Downey Jr., as well you know, has been in and out of prison thanks to his unending appetite to have a real fun time, regardless of the law. He’s pretty clean these days (at least, we think he is), so prison probably changed him, right?

WRONG!

Downey Jr. insists that prison didn’t change him at all and in fact, has gone so far as to suggest that being in the clink is pretty much like being on a film set. What? Full of rapists, drug dealers and people with foreign objects inserted into their anus?

Happy Easter Everyone! Here’s Some Famous People Who Have Also Risen From The Dead!

April 1st, 2010 By Josh Burt

Christians around the world will be marking the day that Jesus casually strolled out of his tomb and blew everyone's minds, by frenziedly heaping great big handfuls of chocolate egg into their mouths, whilst enjoying Mel Gibson?s rather angry take on The Life of Brian.

Yes sir, it's going to be a great few days.

Anyway, in honour of this chocolatey holiday, we thought it high time we paid our respects to some other historical figures – more specifically, famous people – who have also risen from the dead. Only in a slightly less literal sense. They weren't actually dead. They were just jobless for a wee bit.

New Iron Man 2 Trailer – Decoded!

March 9th, 2010 By Stuart Heritage

Iron Man 2 is one of 2010’s biggest films – because what do people like more than beardy, middle-aged punching robots?

Nothing, that’s what. But what can we expect from Iron Man 2? Will there be more explosions? Yes! Will there be more fight scenes? Yes! Will there be more gnarled, topless old men who talk in an affected Russian accent so ludicrous that it’d be offensive if it wasn’t so indecipherable? Yes!

We know this because a new Iron Man 2 trailer has just been released. But, like most modern things, it’s all a bit too whizz-bang for us to understand. So we’ve decided to slow down the new Iron Man 2 trailer and talk you through it scene by scene. Once again, you’re welcome…

The Longest-Ever Episode Of Jonathan Creek May Not Get a Sequel

January 5th, 2010 By Amy Grindhouse

Guy Ritchie may have already screwed the chances of a Sherlock Holmes sequel ever getting off the ground.

Well not Guy himself, but one of the blokes in his movie, a little known actor by the name of Robert Downey Jr. No, we’ve never heard of him either but we expect great things from his career.

Okay, enough New Year’s silliness. According to reports, despite having only just been spanked at the box office by The Over-long, Over-priced Thunder Smurfs movie, the chances of a Sherlock Holmes sequel being made are already in jeopardy. In a recent interview on The Late Show With David Letterman Robert joked about his new movie having a homoerotic subtext, in which characters Holmes and Watson are gay lovers. He also asked the audience whether or not Holmes was in fact “a very butch homosexual.” Apparently, a little well-dressed man-on-man love is enough to ruffle the feathers of the copyright holder.
