A bunch of new photos today. The new issue of Entertainment Weekly has a first look photo of Scarlett Johansson as Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff (aka the Black Widow) in the “Iron Man” sequel.

First the reality TV starlet visited the Cotlands Shelter for abused and orphaned HIV children before heading to the ‘Diamonds for Dignity’ feeding Centre in Soweto with her boyfriend Reggie Bush and tag-along sister Khloe.

According to the New York Post: “Joe Simpson, never one to miss an opportunity, is trying to revive Ashlee Simpson’s record career by pitching a concept album on which Ashlee would record songs of Michael Jackson.”

After already touring Ireland, England, France, Belgium and Denmark, jet set celeb kids Jayden James and Sean Preston Federline explored Sweden today (July 16) with their pop star mother Britney Spears.
The group first lunched at the popular Grand Hotel Veranda before taking in the sights and scenery of Stockholm archipelago.
Britney will soon be playing two dates in the Swedish capital, before she and her sons continue their tour to Finland, Russia and Germany.
Meanwhile, the pop princess is already working on new songs.

Robert Downey Jr. was spotted cruising in his custom-made Audi R8 5.2-liter V10 convertible on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu today (July 16) during a scene for the film Iron Man 2.
As the actor sped by photos, his Stark 11 license plate could be seen — a reference to his character Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man.
The highly-anticipated action flick will arrive at movie theaters in May of 2010. Besides the sweet ride and the hunky leading man, other Ironman 2 stars include Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Micky Rourke, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson.
This time around, Iron Man will battle new villain Rourke, size up Scar.Jo (as Black Widow) and, hopefully, prove that the success of the first movie was no fluke.
