RDJ speaks out following 20-year-old son Indio's arrest for cocaine possession

Robert Downey Jr's son Indio was arrested yesterday after cops found him with cocaine, echoing his father's very public struggle with drug addiction in the 90s. The 20-year-old was riding in a car in West Hollywood Sunday afternoon when an L.A. County Sheriff's deputy conducted a search of the vehicle and found the illicit drugs. The Iron Man star's son was booked in L.A. County jail and released early Monday morning on $10,250 bail. Downey has since issued a statement, thanking the police for their intervention, while expressing the belief that his son can be a 'recovery success story instead of a cautionary tale.' 'Unfortunately there's a genetic component to addiction and Indio has likely inherited it. Also, there is a lot of family support and understanding, and we're all determined to rally behind him and help him become the man he's capable of being,' the 49-year-old actor said.  This isn't the first time Indio has gotten in trouble for drug abuse.

Ali Fazal: I was scared shooting intimate scenes with Vidya Balan in Bobby Jasoos

Ali Fazal started his filmy journey with a small role in Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots, but very soon moved ahead to do some great roles in films like Fukrey and Fast & Furious 7. His latest release, the Vidya Balan starrer Bobby Jasoos, has been getting good reviews all across, but the actor opened up recently in an interview about intimate scenes with Vidya Balan, “When I start working with someone then that comfort level has to be there so that people watching the film may never get to know that these two people have met for the first time when they are doing these intimate scenes. But yeah I guess, there was a scene in the song Tu where I had to lie down right next to her and I was a bit scared at that point. Vidya was very sporty and I guess that's why all of it went pretty well.”

SCARLETT JOHANSSON wins book defamation lawsuit

Actress Scarlett Johansson will be paid compensation worth 1980 pounds by an author for `hurtful` depiction of a character, based on the star, in his novel. The judge has ordered writer Gregoire Delacourt to pay damages to Johansson, 29, for the `demeaning` depiction in the novel based on model Jeanine Foucamprez, who bears a striking resemblance to Johansson. Delacourt argued the character in his book, `The First Thing We Look At`, was meant as a tribute. But Johansson`s lawyer told the court the book presented her as a `sex object`. Delacourt described his work as a satire on celebrity culture. Lawyers argued it made `defamatory claims` about Johansson`s private life. Johansson had sought 39,600 pounds in damages for the `fraudulent use of her personal rights` but the eventual figure was
substantially lower. `The First Thing We Look At` was published in March 2013 and has sold 100,000 copies.
