2008: Year in Review 6

LOOKING A LITTLE, UM, BLACK IN ‘TROPIC THUNDER’
Excuse you, Britney. We believe Robert Downey Jr. was the year’s more superior comeback. Iron Man was the perfect little out-of-nowhere superhero movie. RDJ made an ideal Tony Stark/Iron Man because he was both flawed and charming. Later on, he sports blackface, and Tom Cruise gets fat.
HMM, DUBIOUS WEIGHT GAIN
Beyonce and Jared Leto packed on pounds to look like serious actors in Cadillac Records and Chapter 27, respectively. Eva Longoria grew the itty-bittiest tummy but argued that she wasn’t pregnant — “just fat.” Elisha Cuthbert got called “sloppy seconds” by her hockey-player ex-boyfriend — all because of new curves or what?
HOLY CRAP, JASON STATHAM!
Unbelievably, Statham starred in four movies this year (In the Name of the King, The Bank Job, Transporter 3 and Death Race). Believably, he played, like, the same character. More than likely, both a car and a gun were involved. We think that if Frankie Muniz goes prematurely bald, he can take over where Statham leaves off.

BREAKOUT HOTTIE!
ESTELLE

The one-name Brit soul singer came on strong with her new album Shine, single “American Boy” and a new commitment to being “100 percent authentic” in her music. She’s already garnished awards and nods from MTV, BET, and the UK’s MOBO Awards, and she’s up for two Grammys.
