Robert Downey Jr returns advance
Robert Downey Jr has postponed plans to write a memoir and has returned his advance to publisher HarperCollins, a spokeswoman for the actor told the Associated Press.
Britney Ross of Rogers & Cowan declined to say why Downey wouldn't be writing the book, originally scheduled to come out this year. HarperCollins had billed it as a "candid look at the highs and lows of his life and career" when the publisher announced the project two years ago.
