Exclusive: Robert Downey Jr. has teamed with bestselling environmental author Thomas Kostigen to write Cool Food: Erasing Your Carbon Footprint One Bite at a Time. The book has been acquired by Blackstone Publishing president and CEO Josh Stanton. The actor-producer and Kostigen plan a book they say will provide a smart, accessible and game-changing roadmap to making climate-solving food choices.
The deal marks the first major non-fiction book from Downey, best known for his iconic turns as Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes and partnering with wife Susan Downey in their Team Downey production label. Downey leaned into nutrition since early in his Marvel run to prepare for the rigors of that role. While there has been a preoccupation in Hollywood in cutting down carbon footprints, doing it through a diet seems an innovative wrinkle. Blackstone hasn’t set a pub date.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the former conservative star of “The View,” has signed a deal to write a book to release next spring, called “Point of View.”
The book will be a memoir-like story of Hasselbeck’s faith told through the important moments in her life. “Point of View” is scheduled to hit bookstore shelves in April 2019 from publisher WaterBrook & Multnomah, which specializes in Christian titles.
Hasselbeck started her TV career on the second season of “Survivor.” She appeared on “The View” from 2003 to 2013, where she became one of the most visible and prominent Republicans of her generation, as she debated her conservative principles on Barbara Walters’ talk show during the Bush era and Obama’s first term. She then went on to co-host “Fox and Friends” for two years. But since leaving Fox News in 2015, she’s taken a break from the national spotlight and hasn’t given many interviews.
