Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan Downey, are expecting their first baby together their rep has confirmed the news.
A rep for the Iron Man star has confirmed that he and his wife of six years are expecting their first child together and the baby is due in February.
“Robert and Susan could not be more excited over this news, they can’t wait to welcome this new baby into their wonderful family.” The rep says in a statement to People.
This isn’t the first child for Robert, he already has a 17-year-old son, Indio, that he fathered with his ex-wife Deborah Falconer. The actor said back in 2010 that he wouldn’t want another boy because “I don’t want Indio to feel there’s another boy in my life.”
The 46-year-old actor, who reprises his role as Iron Man in the upcoming Avengers movie, also predicted that they would be having a child. “I think I will be wrist-deep in doo-doo within 18 months. I’m calling it right here,” he said, guess he was right.
Imagine having Iron Man as your dad!

Some celebrities really don’t know when to shut their mouth and pretty much share everything about their life, especially the ones on Twitter, but some go too far and start discussing their sex life. So Glamor Magazine have come up with a list of celebrity sex secrets that either came from their own mouth or from sources close to them. Here is 10 of them, the rest can be found at Glamor.
Zac Efron
Zac Efron has no reason not to practice safe sex, as his mother buys him condoms. The unusual gift was purchased after Mrs Efron thought Zac and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens were snapped in a sex shop. It turned out to be a fancy dress shop. “She wouldn’t have any of it,” the High School Musical star claims. “So my stocking was full of condoms this Christmas. She buys me the economy box.”
Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart had sex for 12 hours! Well… that’s how long it took to film their sex scene for Twilight: Breaking Dawn. R-Patz admitted he gets “really carried away” when kissing rumoured girlfriend Kristen on set: “When we start the kissing scenes I forget we’re surrounded by a load of people. It’s only when the kiss is finished that my mind registers there’s actually a set full of people around, and I just walk away embarrassed.” Reow, Robert!
Cheryl Cole
Cheryl Cole isn’t one for When Harry Met Sally-style moans when it comes to making love. “I think most men prefer to hear little breaths rather than big loud screams. Otherwise you sound like a porn star.” We wouldn’t expect anything less from the nation’s sweetheart!
Megan Fox
Megan Fox revealed she was sexually attracted to a Russian stripper when she was a teenager. The (former) Transformers star said she became obsessed with female dancer when she first moved to LA at the age of 18: “I went out of my way to create a relationship with a stripper called Nikita.” But Megan insists she’s not a lesbian and that “we are all born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes.” Wowza, Megan! Does husband Brian Austin Green know about this?
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba is all for equality of the sexes, especially when it comes to one night stands. “I don’t think a girl is a slut if she enjoys sex,” Jess once said. “I don’t do one night stands but I’m not judgemental of women who do. Men do it all the time.”
Daniel Radcliffe
Daniel Radliffe first had sex at the age of 16 – with a much older woman. The Harry Potter star won’t reveal who the cougar is, and says the age difference “wasn’t ridiculous.” He must just have worked his magic.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie lost her virginity at 14 to her live-in (that’s right, live-in!) boyfriend: “In a moment of wanting to feel close to him, I grabbed a knife and cut him. He cut me back.” Blimey Ange! What would Brad say…
Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. has admitted that he was once obsessed with his penis and, prior to his marriage, addicted to, ahem, ‘loving’ himself a little too often. “I was a compulsive, serial masturbator. But it was the best thing I could have been. I utilised that organ and rode it for everything it was worth.” Thanks for sharing, Rob.
Britney Spears
Remember the time when Britney Spears was the world’s most famous virgin? Well, according to US Weekly magazine, the star lost her virginity at 14 to her high school boyfriend. The ‘exposé’ also claimed that Brit was having sex with Justin Timberlake from the moment they got together. Well, wouldn’t you?
Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon
Like a virgin? Well, sort of. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon didn’t have sex until they were married. “It’s not that we had no intimacy, we just didn’t have complete intimacy,” Mariah explained after the pair wed. “We both have similar beliefs and I thought that it would be so much more special if we waited until after we were married. And it was. And it still is.” But the couple’s restraint isn’t as remarkable as it seems. Mariah and Nick wed just three months after they began dating in 2008.
I know some of this information isn’t brand new but I always think it’s fun to post about celebrities have sex, maybe that’s just me though? Have you got any embarrassing or awkward stories to share with the world?

Forbes have come up with a list of the top earning on-screen couples ever and it’s pretty much full of people who starred together in a franchise. As opposed to back in the day when Hollywood stars would star in a few movies together. Before I even read the list I knew who would be on top, take a look for yourself…
Ben Stiller and Teri Polo, $1 billion
Little Fockers might be one of the worst reviewed movies of 2010, but it is making a lot of money. So far the Meet the Parents trilogy has earned $1 billion at the box office. With those kinds of numbers, a fourth movie can’t be far behind. Expect more trouble for the young marrieds played by Stiller and Polo.
,
Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow, $1.2 billion
We didn’t include this couple when we first did this list last year because after the first Iron Man, they still weren’t really a couple. But in the second movie, Downey’s Tony Stark admitted his feelings for Paltrow’s Pepper Potts. No word on if Paltrow will make an appearance in the upcoming film The Avengers, which will feature Iron Man, among other heroes.
Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen, $1.5 billion
Hayden Christensen didn’t make his Star Wars debut as Anakin Skywalker until the fifth movie, Attack of the Clones. But his relationship with Natalie Portman’s Padme was crucial to the sci-fi tale as the pair ultimately became parents to Luke and Leia.
Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, $1.5 billion
Transformers is really all about robots that turn into cars but somewhere in the first two movies was a love story between LaBeouf’s Sam Witwicky and Fox’s Mikaela Banes. The two couldn’t have been that inseparable though because director Michael Bay decided to jettison Fox in the third movie in favor of Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, $1.8 billion
While romance is secondary in some of the films discussed on this list, it’s the main theme in the Twilight series about a human girl, played by Stewart, who falls for Pattinson’s sensitive vampire. There are still two films left in the successful franchise. A movie based on the first half of Breaking Dawn hits theaters this coming November.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, $1.9 billion
For a film with equal parts romance and action it’s hard to do better than Titanic. The 1997 film featured a pair of doomed, class-crossed lovers set against the epic sinking of the giant cruise ship. The film is the second-highest-grossing of all time with $1.8 billion. DiCaprio and Winslet appeared together again in the much smaller film Revolutionary Road in 2008.
Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, $2.7 billion
Yes, the Pirates franchise is mostly about Johnny Depp staggering around like a drunk who just fell into a case of makeup. But for the first three films there was a romance that helped ground the movies. Seems like Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer didn’t think it was crucial to the story though. Bloom and Knightley’s characters have been written out of the fourth installment.
Viggo Mortensen and Liv Tyler, $3 billion
As Aragorn and the elf Arwen, Mortensen and Tyler play a pair of lovers struggling to maintain a relationship amid an epic quest to destroy evil. The pair helped make the fantasy films a bit more relatable for people who got confused by all the characters in Middle Earth. No word on if the pair will appear in the upcoming prequel: The Hobbit.
Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, $6.3 billion
It took seven movies but Ron and Hermione are finally acting on their long simmering love. In the most recent Harry Potter film, Rupert Grint got to do a bit of bravura acting watching his worst fears come to life, including Watson’s Hermione falling in love with Harry instead of him. Expect the pair to finally smooch in the final film hitting theaters this summer.

People Magazine have released their 2010 Sexiest Men Alive list and the number 1 man for them this year is Ryan Reynolds. Obviously they forgot about me. Here is a preview of their list….
Ryan Reynolds
He’s Canadian (and proud of it!), he can make “a mean omelette” and his eight-pack abs have caused millions to swoon. But what makes PEOPLE’s 25th anniversary Sexiest Man honoree so very special? Perhaps his self-deprecating humor. “You just have to go with the flow,” Reynolds, 34, says of his new title. “This gives my family entrée into teasing me for the rest of my life.”
Jon Hamm
Tall, dark, handsome … and funny? Mad Men’s brooding leading man, 39, has shown a knack for comedy, from host of Saturday Night Live to Tina Fey’s recurring love interest on 30 Rock. “He can be so serious and so funny at the same time,” says Fey. “He’s just great at everything.”
Kellan Lutz
This former model knows how to work every camera angle, from showing off his otherworldly body in Twilight to heating up underwear sales as Calvin Klein’s spokesmodel. The secret to the 25-year-old’s sexy six-pack? “I cut back on my candy intake, swim a lot and try to drink as much water as I can,” says Lutz. “That’s the best way to cut up.”
Drake
He’s come a long way since Degrassi: The Next Generation. These days the former actor, 24, is best known for his chart-topping hits like “Find Your Love,” off his debut album Thank Me Later. And while the single artist has yet to find love, he knows what he likes, telling PEOPLE, “I find it sexy when women play instruments or knit.”
Matthew Morrison
Mr. Shue, is that you? Glee’s song-and-dance man showed what he’s really made of in a revealing Vogue photo shoot in June. So what does the former Broadway star, 32, consider to be his sexiest trait? “I have those muscle lines right over my hips from my dancing days,” Morrison told InStyle. “I call them my dancing lines.”
Jon Bon Jovi
He reigned as a big-haired heartthrob in the ’80s, but Jon Bon Jovi, 48, tells PEOPLE, “The cliché of the rock star was never me.” Instead, the singer, who’s been married for 21 years and is the father of four, counts his greatest achievements in his music and his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. Another point of pride? “I’ve never had Botox,” he says.
Joe Manganiello
A self-described “ugly duckling,” Manganiello, 34, has physically transformed into a hunky werewolf on True Blood thanks to his six-days-a-week, twice-daily workouts. But it’s not about vanity: “I’m playing a supernaturally strong character; I need to look that way,” Manganiello tells PEOPLE.
Robert Downey Jr.
“Robert has a way of making everyone around him feel very special and comfortable,” Michelle Monaghan, his costar in Due Date, raves about the 44-year-old. “Whenever I see him, I walk away smiling. Those beautiful brown eyes may have something to do with it.”
Jesse Williams
Before he had hearts pumping on Grey’s Anatomy, Williams, 30, taught high school English and African American studies in Philadelphia. But he’s not all brains, no brawn: “I like to be physical,” the actor, who stays in shape with soccer, basketball and flag football, tells PEOPLE.
Justin Timberlake
He’s proved he can bring sexy back to music, now Justin Timberlake is showing he can deliver the goods on the big screen as well. “I know what I want to be,” the Social Network star, 29, told Entertainment Weekly, “and that’s an artist.
Vin Diesel
Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel, 43, knows something about getting pulses racing. No wonder he blew away the competition in PEOPLE’s first-ever Sexiest Man Alive on Facebook campaign. The actor’s response to the honor? “I am blushing … for real … Grrr!”
Jake Gyllenhaal
It’s been a revealing year for the actor, who memorably showed off his bulked-up chest in Prince of Persia and strips down for Love and Other Drugs. “I think a true leading man has both strength and vulnerability,” says Gyllenhaal, 29.
Like I said, they obviously forgot about me but it’s fine they can get me next year and I definitely have a man crush on most of these guys.

Forbes have come up with a list of the 10 most profitable actors in Hollywood at the moment, now don’t confuse this list with the most paid actors because this is based on how much money the movie studio makes back for every dollar they paid the actors.
10. Sarah Jessica Parker, $17
When it comes to Sex and the City movies, Sarah Jessica Parker is a great investment. In other movies, not so much. Her 2009 film Did You Hear About the Morgans earned an anemic $85 million at the global box office. Compare that with her two Sex and the City movies, which have earned a total $705 million.
9. Nicolas Cage, $17
Cage makes our list mostly thanks to the 2009 film Knowing, which earned a healthy $184 million on an estimated budget of $50 million. The budget was able to stay low because the producers went with Cage over someone who would have cost much more like Will Smith or Johnny Depp.
8. Johnny Depp, $18
Depp is the rare actor on our list who earns more than almost every actor in Hollywood but still manages to offer a good return on investment. That’s because his films do phenomenally. Alice in Wonderland has earned $1 billion. Public Enemies brought in $215 million. As long as he continues to be a major draw overseas and his films keep performing, Depp will continue to get one of the highest paydays in Hollywood.
7. Meryl Stree, $21
The actress (2008′s most profitable actress) proves again and again that age and gender do not determine box-office draw. Mamma Mia earned $610 million at the global box office. It’s Complicated brought in $220 million. As soon as Streep starts earning the same as her male peers, she’ll likely work her way off of our list.
6. Jennifer Aniston, $21
Another woman on our list: Jennifer Aniston (2007′s most profitable actress). The star makes a surprising appearance in sixth place with a $21 return for every $1 she is paid. (She’s tied with Meryl Streep.) Although one of her included movies, Love Happens, was a huge flop, He’s Just Not that Into You and The Bounty Hunter (with $136 million at the global box office on an estimated budget of $40 million) actually did well.
5. Cate Blanchett, $27
The actress has played the female lead in two recent high-grossing films: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Robin Hood (which brought in $310 million despite a weak opening). In both cases she earned significantly less than her male costars, which is why Blanchett makes our top 10 list while Russell Crowe and Brad Pitt do not.
4. Robert Downey Jr., $33
It wasn’t so long ago that Downey (2008′s most profitable actor) was a Hollywood pariah because of his drug and alcohol problems. That helped shrink his quote when he started his comeback in 2008 with the first Iron Man. Since then he’s starred in some of the highest-grossing films of the past few years, including Sherlock Holmes ($517 million) and Iron Man 2 ($622 million) while his payday has stayed relatively low.
3. Daniel Radcliffe, $61
The Harry Potter movies are the kind of high-budget films that would usually hurt an actor on this list unless he was earning under $10 million total. But Radcliffe lands in third place (with a $61 return for ever dollar he earns) because the films earn so much money. The entire franchise has so far brought in $5.4 billion at the global box office making his growing salary seem like a drop in the bucket.
2. Anne Hathaway, $64
For the sake of our return on investment list, being a woman in Hollywood is a good thing. They tend to earn less so when their films hit, they offer a good return. Hathaway lands so high on our list thanks to Alice in Wonderland. For every dollar she earns studios earn $64 off of her films. Most of that payback is coming from Alice. The Disney 3-D film was a gigantic hit earning $1 billion at the global box office, and Hathaway earned much less than star Johnny Depp. But she also benefits from 2009′s Bride Wars, which was a modest hit earning $115 million at the global box office on a low estimated budget of $30 million.
1. Shia LaBeouf, $81
LaBeouf tops our list for the second year in a row thanks to his relatively low-paid work in high-earning films like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and the second Transformers movie. As his box office grows so will his quote, which means it will be harder for him to stay at the top of our list unless his films earn proportionally more money. When LaBeouf starred in the first Transformers movie in 2007, Viacom’s Paramount Studio was able to pay him under $5 million. It had to bump that up considerably for the second film (which earned $833 million in 2009), but LaBeouf still isn’t earning $20 million upfront to star in a picture.
As a result, he offers a great return on investment. For every $1 studios spend on the 24-year-old actor his films return an average $81 of profit. For our list this year LaBeouf also benefits from the fourth Indiana Jones film, which earned $790 million in 2008. George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford split the bulk of the profits from that movie leaving LaBeouf as a profitable costar. As the actor’s fame (and box-office earnings) increase he’ll be able to demand more for each film which will hurt his return on investment number unless the films are gigantic blockbusters. That could be the case with the next Transformers movie. LaBeouf was able to ask for more money upfront but because the movie is being filmed in 3-D, it should earn even more than Transformers 2.
