The Weekly Ketchup: See The "Iron Man" Pics (Again), Bruce Willis Does Some Bay-bashing, Hermione’s Bosom, And More!

by Nick Hershey | May 18, 2007

In this week’s Ketchup, Paramount shut down a website over some "Iron Man" photos (only to calm down later on), Bruce Willis took to some internet forum to talk some smack about Michael Bay (who felt compelled to respond), and some brilliant marketer felt the need to doctor the size of Emma Watson‘s chest for the latest "Harry Potter" poster.

Also, we had some early reactions to Nicole Kidman‘s "Invasion" and "Pirates 3," and Cillian Murphy appears to be returning to Gotham to take on "The Dark Knight" as the Scarecrow. Read On.
