As James Hirsen's Left Coast Report has noted, Hollywood leftists such as Woody Allen have abandoned recovering druggie Robert Downey Jr., but Mel Gibson has remained a friend indeed. Now Downey is paying tribute to his true-blue pal.

"Gibson was always like, 'I believe in you, man, you're gonna get through this,'" Downey told USA Today. "And I was like, 'Yeah!'"

The two actors, who co-starred more than a decade ago in "Air America," share the silver screen again this fall in "The Singing Detective," a project Gibson brought to Downey.

Downey swears this time he has finally cleaned up his act.

"All that stuff before, where part of the game was the 'I promise,' it was all kids' stuff," he said. "All 'cry wolf' stuff. It wasn't important to me to change. But I'm into this."
