Robert Downey Jr.'s camp is denying widespread speculation that he is the anonymous commenter who has been spreading dark Hollywood rumors on the blind item website Crazy Days and Nights.

Over the past month an anonymous commenter who goes by the name "Himmmm" has been dropping bombshells about bad behavior in Hollywood, detailing alleged starlet call-girl rings, pedophilia and rape.

Several clues provided by the anonymous poster as to his identity, particularly that they had almost let addiction ruin their Hollywood career, led other commenters and websites to speculate that Himmmm was Downey Jr., who had publicly battled addictions for years.

But this week, Alan Nierob, a rep for Downey Jr., is trying to put those rumors to rest.

"Of course he isn't," Nierob told Fox411.com when we asked whether his client was Himmmm.

Nierob added that it will be up to the actor's legal team to decide whether to press charges against the sites who are hosting the commenters who allege Downey Jr. is the anonymous commenter.

 

As a real-life American Muslim, I should have loved the new TLC reality show All-American Muslim. But after I eagerly watched the first episodes, I’ve got to say I think we ended up with something more like a Muslim Jersey Shore, the low-grade MTV series about Snooki’s party life in New Jersey.

A lot has been said about boycotting Lowe’s. I imagine there will be a boycott planned of Kayak, too. As an American Muslim consumer, I can say that I’ll likely buy the lumber for my son’s treehouse at Lowe’s, and I’ll switch from Expedia to Kayak. I like the company’s common sense. “We get what America is about,” Birge wrote, adding, “We would not want anyone to think that we caved to hatred.” But, as he concluded, the show didn’t pass his personal Gong Show, the 1970s TV talent show that banged the gong on stage acts that didn’t pass muster.

To me, the issue of Islam-bashing has become a straw man in this debate. This isn’t a referendum on whether a person hates on Islam or not. It’s about TV—and what makes for good TV and what doesn’t.

And, as usual, Hamas-linked CAIR has its panties in a wad over Lowe’s decision to remove its ads, saying it is sparking anger in the Muslim community. (Awww! I guess CAIR doesn’t like it when we employ the same tactics they use against us) 

FORMER undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson says his title belts are nothing more than garbage to him now that he is a reformed family man, CBS News reported yesterday.

London, England (CNN) -- She died almost fifty years ago but pop culture's fascination with tragic Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe continues unabated.

Performers from Madonna to Lady Gaga to Lindsay Lohan have emulated Monroe's signature pin-up style, while countless books have been written about her since she died in 1962 from a barbiturate overdose, aged just 36.

Not only do people want to know about her and look like her; collectors around the world will pay top dollar to possess something once owned by the iconic, flawed actress.

Times Square -- the infamous Manhattan haven for misfits and grifters -- is about to become a little freakier as oddballs from all over the world descend on the Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium to compete for a gig with the sideshow.

Ripley's is looking for the cream of the wacky crop to show off their bizarre skills on videos that will be voted on by visitors to the company's Believe It or Not Odditorium in Manhattan

There's nothing the left loves more than a victim. Our entire victim-culture can be summed up into one Oprah Winfrey Show, complete with boxes of Kleenex and clichéd advice about "moving forward" and "finding one's inner beauty." Admittedly, it's tempting to get sucked in. Who doesn't feel the heart strings tighten when a true story of hardship is presented, complete with video clips of beach walking and wailing orchestral instruments? But "victims" have become entertainment that equal big ratings and instant stardom. As such, one must always be on the lookout for the big hoax.

[Whoops!

US Weekly ran a story quoting Sarah Palin demanding that Christina Aguilera be "deported" over her botched performance of the national anthem at Super Bowl XLV.

The only problem: It never happened.

The item "quoted" Palin trashing Aguilera as "a demanding beauty queen who's clearly in over her head" and adding for good measure, "If I were president, I'd deport Ms. Augilera back to wherever it is she's from and give Amy Smart a call."

The fake quotes originated from an Onion-like satirical web site, relaying a fictional radio interview between the former Governor of Alaska and Fox News host Sean Hannity.

Other choice "quotes" from Palin that fooled US Weekly included, "Here's another case of an airhead diva going on TV, running her mouth off, sounding like a fool. She doesn't understand something so basic about America, yet we're supposed to tolerate her diva behavior?" and "Unemployment is at nine percent, yet we have to suffer through a performance by a foreigner with a poor grasp of the English language?"
US Weekly apologized for their mistake Thursday saying, "Oopsies...our bad!"

"I had no interview with Sean [Hannity] and I have never bashed Christina," Palin told Us. "In fact, I've defended her by telling folks to back off the criticism of her mistake. I was telling my kids right after her national anthem issue blew up that people needed to lay off her mistake. And then to read to that I condemned her?"]

[Is This the Document That Gave Birth to the Huffington Post?
Is Arianna Huffington the mother of the Huffington Post or its wicked stepmother? Democratic political consultants Peter Daou and James Boyce, who worked on John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign, argue that it's the latter—and that Huffington stole the idea for her massively successful Web portal from them. Exhibit A in their $350 million lawsuit is this document, allegedly produced at Huffington's request, in which they outline their plans for a site called fourteensixty.com—a name derived from the number of days between presidential elections. (Hey, they forgot to calculate the leap-year day; no wonder their boss lost in 2004!) Is this a blueprint for Web domination or a generic compilation of prevailing conventional wisdom? You be the judge! ]
