When Robert Downey Jr., was down and out, he had planned to write a memoir detailing the highs and lows of his life. But now that his movie career has relaunched with Iron Man and this summer's highly-anticipated Tropic Thunder, Downey's memoir has been put on hold.

The 43-year-old star's memoir was to look at "the highs and lows of his life and career," according to OK! magazine. The lows have included drug busts and jail terms, and the book was due out later this year. However, according to the magazine, Downey has returned his advance to publishers HarperCollins and put his memoir on the backburner.
