Oct 20 2008Surprise, Terrence Howard, You Aren't in 'Iron Man' Anymore!
Remember last week, when the trade papers reported Don Cheadle had replaced Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2? Whup, it turns out that's when Terrence Howard found out too! Here's how Howard described it in an interview with NPR:
It was the surprise of a lifetime. There was no explanation. [The contract] just...up and vanished. I read something in the trades implicating that it was about money or something, but apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren't worth the paper that they're printed on, sometimes. Promises aren't kept, and good faith negotiations aren't always held up.
Come on, Marvel. That's the Hollywood equivalent of breaking up with someone by changing your relationship status on Facebook and hoping they get the hint. And then to immediately switch to "is now in a relationship with Don Cheadle"? Why not post a note on his wall that you'll be over tomorrow to pick up your military uniform and that Coldplay album he borrowed? You are ice cold, Marvel.
Of course, there's always the chance he's skewing the facts to make himself seem innocent, but I have to believe we'd get straight talk from any man so strangely frank about his need for a woman to clean herself with baby wipes.

I thought it was a money thing.
Either way, that baby wipe thing still freaks me out.

Y'all go issues when ya want yer woman's twat to smell like a baby's ass. I think THAT is the real reason they let him go. Go to jail.

i think the babywipe thing sounds perfectly reasonalbe. if a guy's gonna eat me out, i dont want him to get a mouthful of stanky cottage cheese. and if i'm eating ass, i certainly dont want a teethful of hairy pebbles.

@4: I hate to break it to you, but if your snapper is full of "stanky cottage cheese" (as you put it) using a couple of baby wipes won't do much good.

Neither Terrance Howard nor Don Cheadle are right for the role of Rhodey. Anyone who reads the comic book knows that. Rhodey looks like Wesley Snipes with a Samuel L. Jackson badass attitude.

@ #6: its called sarcasm. my vag is actually perfectly edible and always smells like gladiolus. but not regular gladiolus, more like Lizzie's reaction to gladiolus in Drop Dead Fred. yeah, my vagina is like an allergic reaction. no wait....damnit, there goes that sarcasm again.
its like a disease. an awesome, awesome disease.
