"The collapse of a massive star"? Ya mean like Kevin Costner after anything he's done in the past six years or Travolta after "Battlefield Earth"?
It's gotta be Travolta. If the tabby pix are accurate, he's finally achieved the mass that would generate an overwhelming gravitational field.
P.S. Robert Downey, Jr. personifies the sorry-ass celebrity loser. How many chances does one moron get? Enough already, I hope.
The whiny liberal wimps in Hollywood are prepared to forgive him anything because of his "talent", but he's never showed us squat except in "Chaplin". If annoying and useless were a capital crime, he'd be sittin in the Green Room at Terre Haute waitin for McVeigh to finish his shtick so he could go on next.

Downey as Chaplin
I think you're being way too generous in saying that Robert Downey Jr. even showed us as much as nominal amount of "squat" in *Chaplin*. For me, Charlie Chaplin is GOD, and I found that movie somewhat disappointing. If it wasn't for Downey's mild resemblance to Chaplin, and some damn good directing from Richard Attenborough, that movie would've been more than somewhat disappointing.
Perhaps this is a crazy choice, but I would have cast Bronson Pinchot in the role of Chaplin. I believe Pinchot is capable of doing a role like that (if given the opportunity), and he could capture Chaplin's physical humor perfectly.
Loved your suggestion of Downey following McVeigh's act in Terre Haute. :)
