In Bradley Cooper's new superhuman film, "Limitless," his character, Eddie Morra, is transformed from unemployed writer to golden boy after taking the environmental drug NZT. Co-starring is superstar Robert De Niro, of whom Cooper said, "It was everything I could've possibly dreamed. I cherished the two weeks I had him on set."

Cooper admitted he would probably do the same thing his character did if NZT were real. "Learn as many languages and dialects as I could. I have a bunch of instruments in my house that I don't know how to play, so I'd probably learn those."

Lindsay says, "I think its so important right now -- especially [because of] what just happened in Haiti -- for everybody to kind of look at themselves and look at the life that they have and be really grateful for what they have and do as much as they can... especially if they have a voice."

"It was amazing," Lohan says of her India trip. "It was really life-changing. It was a wonderful experience."

"Extra" caught up with Lindsay at In Style's Golden Globes party -- and she revealed her highlight from the awards show.

"Drew Barrymore," Lindsay says. "I just love her so much. Her speech was so genuine and I just thought it was beautiful."

Also on his list? "Helen Mirren," he says.

De Niro wouldn't mind collaborating with rapper 50 Cent off-screen, he says.

"We had some good conversations, and he's a smart guy," De Niro says. "He was very smart about what he was telling me."

(De Niro says he may even try rapping. "You never know," he tells "Extra.")

De Niro also jokes about Matt Damon's weight gain for the comedy "The Informant." He says Damon didn't reach out for advice on packing on the pounds -- even though he famously put on 60 pounds for "Raging Bull."

"He knows how to gain weight. We all know how to gain weight," De Niro says. "It's easy!"

Adds Kirk Jones, the director of De Niro's newest flick, "Everybody's Fine" (out Dec. 4), "Getting it off is the hard part!"
