Awesome Profiles of RDJ and Madonna
Usually I'm not into celebrity profiles, but these were fascinating reads.
Man in the Irony Mask
As we sit on the couch, he says, “Life is hard enough without creating drama, isn’t it? I don’t want to say it’s too hard, because that really starts to sound like a spoiled Hollywood type, but that’s me, too. I’m about as badass as a domesticated lynx can be. If we really gotta throw down, I’ll tear your eye sockets out and I’ll drag you up in the tree and we’ll do the whole fucking feline thing. But all things being equal, give me a bowl of milk and let me lick my fur and let me wax prolific on what it means to be a member of the cat family. Because it’s a big deal, and you don’t get to be me, and I do, so fuck you.” Then he laughs and talks about how his eyes can dazzle the audience.

There's plenty of movie talk, and acting-process talk to satisfy your fannish desires. It's also a damn fine profile of the fascinating character that is Robert Downey Jr.

Madonarama!
I felt the presence of Madonna as soon as I landed at LAX. It was as if she had been there a moment ago, and, in fact, while waiting for my luggage, I scanned a copy of the New York Post and came upon a picture taken the day before which showed Madonna, having come through customs, holding her two-and-a-half-year-old son, David, whom she had adopted in Malawi in 2006, the cameras an inch from her face. “The paparazzi are out of control,” she would later say. “I haven’t been to Los Angeles in quite a while, and I don’t watch television here or in England, and I was told there’s now a television show where the paparazzi are the stars of the show—is that true? That they film each other doing paparazzi jobs? Which gives them more fuel. I usually found that type kept their distance—they definitely do in England, because it’s illegal to photograph children. But that’s not how it is here. They get this close, and don’t care how much they scare your children. Being famous has changed a lot, because now there’s so many outlets, between magazines, TV shows, and the Internet, for people to stalk and follow you. We created the monster.”
