Insane payday for Robert Downey Jr. THR: "Robert Downey Jr. seems to be the lone exception to Marvel’s strict cost controls. According to multiple knowledgeable sources, Iron Man/Tony Stark is set for a highflying payday of about $50 million once box-office bonuses and backend compensation are factored in. (Two sources claim the number could go higher than $50 million once the ultimate box-office haul of Avengers is known, but another cautions that it could be years before the final number is known.) While on par with the upper echelon of franchise movie stars, that number blows away his superhero co-stars, all of whom will make a small fraction of Downey’s total, even as Avengers has a shot at topping the final Harry Potter film’s $1.32 billion global haul. Why the difference? When Marvel’s Iron Man grossed a surprising $585 million worldwide in 2008, Downey’s reps at CAA and the Hansen Jacobson law firm renegotiated a deal to include what multiple sources say is a slice of Marvel’s revenue from future movies in which he plays Iron Man (one source puts it in the 5 percent to 7 percent range; another source disputes the percentage. Marvel and Downey’s reps declined comment)."
Nick Stahl is missing "Nick Stahl - the actor who played John Connor in "Terminator 3" - is missing ... this according to his wife. Law enforcement officials confirm ... Stahl's wife filed a missing person's report with the L.A.P.D. on Monday ... saying she last saw the 32-year-old actor on May 9. Sources tell TMZ ... it is believed Stahl had been frequenting the Skid Row area of Downtown Los Angeles recently ... and there are concerns he may have gotten himself involved in some bad stuff. Back in February, Nick's wife had filed court papers, expressing serious concerns that Nick may be using drugs ... and sources say she fears drugs may have something to do with his disappearance. Stahl's rep declined to comment on the situation."
J.Lo may not be back on Idol People: "As the final three prepare to face off on American Idol, there's no telling who will take home the title. But there's another mystery looming at the judges' table: will Jennifer Lopez return to the singing competition next season? "I don't know," Lopez, 42, says on Tuesday's The Ellen DeGeneres Show. If she makes her way back to sit with fellow judges Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler next year, it will be her third season on the show since Simon Cowell Kara DioGuardi and DeGeneres left in 2010. "I enjoy it. I really do enjoy it," she tells DeGeneres, adding, "I miss doing other things. It really does lock you down." Lopez, who took her relationship with boyfriend-of-six months Casper Smart, to the Idol stage last week, also points to her 4-year-old twins, Max David and Emme Maribel. "Now they're getting more mobile. They're about to go to school," she says. "I just don't know. I don't know."
