American comedian GARRY SHANDLING is desperately worried about girlfriend CALISTA FLOCKHART's growing affection for troubled actor ROBERT DOWNEY, JNR.

The IT'S GARRY SHANDLING'S SHOW star Shandling is unhappy about the amount of time the ALLY McBEAL actress spends with her co-star and believes her mothering instincts have spread to the ex- Hollywood hellraiser.

Only a few months ago, Calista was considering Garry as a potential father but opted to adopt new baby LIAM - because her beloved dog doesn't like the comedian. Garry's hoping to win the sexy star from drug addict Downey by proving that he's good with babies and would make a great father. (RP/NO/PDD)
