Downey Jr. Shops on Temptation Aisle
He's been to rehab more times than we care to count -- so of all the places to stop for what we're hoping was just a snack -- a liquor store?! The good news -- we're pretty sure it ain't liquor.

Nerds, Geeks and Jessica Alba
Comic-Con -- the only place smokin' hot babes like Jessica Alba talk to guys dressed in Napoleon Dynamite costumes.
The annual four-day San Diego convention, specializing in the latest in comic books and fantasy/sci-fi/horror themed TV shows, movies and video games, took place over the weekend, and TMZ was there to catch every bizarre moment. Celebs like Alba (who had a pushy security guard), Rosario Dawson, Nic Cage, Robert Downey, Jr. and even Pee-wee Herman were caught mingling with characters like Storm Trooper Elvis, one-legged zombie hunter Cherry Darling, and the ever popular Princess Leia, in full Jaba the Hutt slave ensemble.
All this and more in today's where-my-nerds-at edition of Star Catcher.

Robert Downey Jr.: I am Iron Man
Robert Downey Jr. has been tapped to play the Marvel comic book character "Iron Man" in its film adaptation. Downey worked out and grew a goatee in the hopes of convincing the producers that he was the right man for the job.
The complex character of Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) is far more complex then meets the eye. In fact, the similarities to Downey's own life are uncanny, as the character is a man whose life is plagued by substance abuse and chaos.
Marvel Entertainment executive Kevin Fergie said "We cannot think of another actor better suited to bring one of Marvel's crown jewels to the big screen."
Filming will begin in February.
