Robert Downey Jr. is many things, but humble is not one of them!

In an interview with GQ, the Iron Man actor talked about his career in film and had NO problems saying just how awesome he is:

"I'm probably one of the best. But it's not that big a deal. It's not like this is the greatest swath or generation of actors that has ever come down the pike."

Well at least we know confidence isn't an issue for him! LOLz!

But just how good is he? Will he finally nab his first Oscar before all is said and done??

Robert says there's not a doubt in his mind that he'll eventually get his hands on the elusive trophy:

His favorite NFL football team may be the Chicago Bears, but Barack Obama exercised good sportsmanship last Friday when he congratulated the Green Bay Packers for their 2011 Super Bowl victory.

While the President showed the champs his appreciation for their efforts on the playing field by inviting them to the White House, the only publicly owned team in professional sports showed their own appreciation by giving Obama a piece of the team!

What was his first order as a public shareholder? Trade MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the Bears! LOL!

Check out the video above to see Obama congratulating the 2011 Super Bowl champs, the Green Bay Packers!

Princes don't get jealous!

Prince Harry attended British Grand Prix in Silverstone, England, Sunday, with none other than Jenson Button, the ex-boyfriend of his current girlfriend, model-actress Florence Brudenell-Bruce.

Harry showed his support and said "‘I’ll be cheering on Jenson and Lewis Hamilton big time."

Harry was at the race representing the Queen at the event and was tasked with handing out the trophy to the winner Fernando Alonso.

Looks like having a prince cheer for you doesn't help your chances of winning!

Oh, how posh!

The royal couple continued their tour of California by attending The Foundation Polo Challenge at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club on Saturday where Duke William's team proudly won the match.

Attending the ceremony after the game, Duchess Catherine handed her hubby his Tiffany & Co. trophy along with what looks a treasured blue little box.

After receiving his trophy, William said:

"My father, the Prince of Wales, and my brother, Harry, were as green as that grass outside when I told them I’d be here today. Catherine and I have had a busy few days — so the prospect of being able to let loose this afternoon is wonderful for me."

Busy indeed! The couple have been on a whirlwind tour of Southern California since their arrival on Friday. They've attended Hollywood parties, charities, and mingled with celebs since they stepped foot in El Lay. Next stop? Skid Row.

Good luck, Wills and Kate!

"I wasn't ready!"

JT, we love it when you do comedy! Your SNL episodes are usually the best of the season, so it's no wonder we loved this video of you training for college sports to prepare to give away the first ever Capital One Cup trophy at the ESPYs!

Check out the video above if you're ready to laugh. It's 6 minutes of Justin LOLz and he's in spandex half the time. Is there any more reason that you need??

We think not!

Good luck with the award, Justin! You should do more videos like this!

1996 Heisman Trophy winner, Danny Wuerffel, who led the University of Florida to a college football national championship that season has been diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome as a result of a stomach virus.

Ugh! So sorry to hear that, but fortunately doctors expect a full recovery.

The rare immune disorder attacked his nervous system after his body generated an immune response against the viral infection that spilled over to his peripheral nerves.

The syndrome damages the nerves’ protective covering, called the myelin sheath, and causes muscle weakness.

At first, symptoms include tingling and weakness in the legs, but will eventually spread to the upper body and can result in paralysis!

Doctors diagnosed the disorder early enough that they believe he will be effectively treated and his camp released a statement, saying:

“Consequently, his GBS specialist expects a full recovery. Meanwhile, Danny has asked me to express his appreciation for the prayers, love and support he has received during this time.”

Good luck! Feel better, Danny!

Ouch.

The University of Southern California was hit hard yesterday when the BCS announced they were stripping the university of its 2004 National Championship title.

BCS officials say that USC violated rules during the 2004 & 2005 seasons, putting it on the path to this punishment.

Sorry, USC!
