If Ben Stiller & Downey Jr. Aren't Hosting The Oscars.

Itching to "kick up the funny a little bit" and celebrate entertainment. But there wasn't a whole new revamp in mind - he still wanted to continue with the path laid out last year and have Hugh Jackman host. Rumors immediately started bubbling that Neil Patrick Harris was circling, but there were other funny men in his sights. Reports that Shankman and Bill Mechanic went to Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. to host as a duo. But they said no. Talk about a bummer.
