How to Derail a Junket: Ask Robert Downey Jr. Who He’d Like To ‘Smoke a Blunt With’

2:40AM Defamer US Edition | Can’t a little movie like Tropic Thunder catch a break? The Ben Stiller comedy has thus far managed to survive racism, ratings, “retards,” and American Idol — and that’s before it’s even come out (Wednesday, August 13!). Still, all that was child’s play compared to the newest Tropic trouble, instigated by an overzealous radio DJ who crashed the film’s junket to ask Robert Downey Jr. some of the most inane questions Iron Man has ever had to face. Listen in horror as the notoriously rehabbed actor is asked which costar he’d like to “drink a brew and smoke a blunt with” (only the first of many, many stupid questions) — we’ve even provided a helpful assortment of what we can only imagine were Jack Black and Ben Stiller’s reaction shots.

6:56AM Seth | While the plight of celebrity munchies-sufferers has been exhaustively documented in Pot Culture, their editors seem to forget that the communing with sweet bud by the highly recognisable masses is not something relegated to the current generation. Why, none other than Dawn Wells, Gilligan’s Island‘s sacrificial-virgin offering to brunette-lovers, was picked up back in October for driving erratically on an Idaho highway. “A search produced four half-smoked joints and two small cases to store marijuana — which she blamed on hitchhikers.” She was sentenced to a small fine and six months unsupervised probation, with her coconut bongs and hemp hammocks ordered confiscated from her ganja hut. And commenters be warned: All the Mary Ann/Mary Jane jokes have already been covered by Harvey Levin’s ankle-shackled galley slaves. [TMZ] More »
