Shortly after the news broke on Wednesday that Robert Downey Sr., the director of the anti-establishment satirical classic Putney Swope had died, his son Robert Downey Jr., paid tribute to his father, calling him “a true maverick filmmaker.”

Downey Jr. went on to say that his father had suffered the ravages of Parkinson’s disease, but died in his sleep. He also added some levity in a tribute to his stepmother, Rosemary Rogers-Downey: “According to my stepmoms calculations, they were happily married for just over 2000 years. Rosemary Rogers-Downey, you are a saint, and our thoughts and prayers are with you.”

The Downey family scion also posted a black and white portrait of his father above the message.

Along with her fourth Vogue cover and her correlating interview, the legendary fashion mag has also released a dreamy and possibly thought-provoking video featuring the supermodel, getting ready in the morning and asking herself some tough questions about life as she knows it. The luxurious three-minute video entitled I, Kendall was filmed at The Mark Hotel, directed by Charlotte Wales and written by Jessica Joffe, a style editor at Diane von Furstenberg. But what exactly are Kendall's existential queries? Let's see from the top! I wonder how many hairs are in...

"I know it's not spotless, but neither is life," Alli charmingly says. Wise words! Despite the mess, Alli begins showing pieces from her collection as Jessica gives her honest opinion. "It looks like your ass is going to hang out the bottom of that," Jessica observes about her short, black cocktail...

This might not be the best way to make a good first impression. In an exclusive preview from Sunday's premiere of House of Dvf, brand ambassador candidate Chantal Trujillo shows up sick to her first assignment in the program.

"I am standing here and I am overheating," Chantal says. "I can't see straight." Chantal tries to push through her illness, but her efforts fail when Style Editor Jessica Joffe and Creative Brand Director Stefani Greenfield walk in to give the group instructions for...

In this sneak peek at Sunday's season finale of House of Dvf, Diane heads over to the fashion show and makes an interesting revelation. "I've done hundreds of shows but it's always nerve-wrecking," she admits to the camera. "I am really stressed but the music was so contagious and when I heard that music, I just started dancing." As she makes her way down the catwalk, Diane runs into Dvf team members Stefani Greenfield and Jessica Joffe, when out of nowhere she starts up a little...

On last night's episode of House of Dvf, Brittany Hampton gave serious sass to Dvf Style Editor Jessica Joffe and ended up in the doghouse. While the rest of the ladies remained professional during the meeting, there was plenty of time for gloating later that evening. "Brittany finally being Brittany and scoffing at Jessica Joffe is literally the best thing that could ever happen to me," beams Amanda Schauer. "I'm having like a secret, like, party inside my mind." Lenore Genovese actually squeals with excitement! Then, Kier Mellour takes a break from cleaning and it's officially a party. Brittany, on the other hand, takes her dressing down in stride. "I mean, get over it. We...
