Anne Hathaway as Catwoman!

Woooow! Anne Hathaway as Catwoman!

Anne Hathaway as Catwoman and Tom Hardy as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises:
Christopher Nolan confirms casting news




The Dark Knight Rises casting speculation can officially end right now - Warner Brothers have confirmed that Anne Hathaway will be playing Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, while Tom Hardy has been confirmed as Bane.
Catwoman has long been a fan favourite for Rises - despite that Halle Berry film - and Hathaway has been a front runner during recent casting calls.
In the comics the character is high class cat burglar of questionable moral character who forms a complex love/hate romance with Bruce Wayne/Batman.
Hardy, who was cast before Christmas and thought to be attatched to any number of roles, will play Bane, who - unlike the joke of a character portrayed in 1997's Batman & Robin - is actually a genius military strategist and fearsome soldier driven insane by the super soldier serum 'venom'.
Bane famously broke Batman's spine during a confrontation in the Knightfall saga in the early 1990s, forcing Bruce Wayne to relinquish the mantle of the bat for a time.
Christopher Nolan stated, “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story.”

On working again with Tom Hardy, Nolan said, “I am delighted to be working with Tom again and excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman’s most formidable enemies.”
This news couldn't have come at a better time, with 2012's other superhero movies gathering all the column inches in recent weeks.
We're particularly excited about the announcement that Bane will be the villain - and seeing Hardy bring the monster to life - might we be seeing the long-awaited adaptation of Knightfall? We can only hope.
The Dark Knight Rises is released July 20 2012.

Showbiz Tip: Demi Moore tips helpful waiter



Demi Moore was stunned when a restaurant manager asked a worker run to a local store to pick up her favourite drink.
The actress was dining with her husband Ashton Kutcher in Beverly Hills when she requested a glass of coconut water. The tipple has high levels of potassium and minerals, and is often marketed as a sports drink. It can help raise metabolism and boosts the immune system, and is a favourite among stars.
The eatery’s manager promised to fetch her the drink, before hastily sending another worker to fetch some as he knew they were out of supplies. Demi finally received her drink 15 minutes later, prompting her to laughingly ask if they’d had to get it in specially.
“Actually... yes,” the manager admitted.
Demi immediately asked to meet the man who’d run to fetch the drink, and tipped him $50. “Next time, it might be easier just to say you don’t have any,” she laughed.

Paris Hilton caught with cannabis in handbag


AJACCIO, France (AFP) - – American socialite Paris Hilton was briefly held by police on the French island of Corsica after being caught with cannabis in her handbag, according to police sources.
Hilton was detained after arriving at the airport in Figari on a private jet from Paris on Friday.
Police found less than a gram of cannabis in her handbag, and released her soon afterwards without charge.
According to Corse-Matin newspaper, Hilton was travelling on the private jet with "people close to power in Malaysia", and was due to travel by yacht to the luxury resort of Porto Cervo in Sardinia, Italy.
The incident is the American's second brush with the law this month.
The 29-year-old was arrested during the World Cup in South Africa after a friend she was with took a joint to the Brazil-Netherlands quarter-final match in Port Elizabeth.
A darling of the tabloids, Hilton, the great-granddaughter of the Hilton hotel chain's founder, shot to fame in 2003 when her boyfriend leaked a video of their sexual escapades on the Internet.

Megan Fox marries in Hawaii



LOS ANGELES - Her career may have hit a rocky patch, but Megan Fox's personal life seems happier than ever.

The "Transformers" actress married her long-time boyfriend, former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Brian Austin Green, in Hawaii late last week, TMZ.com reported on Monday.

The pair tied the knot during a small ceremony at the Four Seasons Resort on the state's Big Island. Staff at the hotel were not able to confirm the report, and Fox's publicist did not immediately return an email seeking comment.

Fox, 24, and Green, 36, reportedly got engaged for a second time at the same hotel earlier this month. They met in 2004, first got engaged in 2006, but called it off in early 2009.

It was the first marriage for both, although Green has an 8-year-old son with actress Vanessa Marcil.

Fox is currently in theaters with the comic-book adaptation "Jonah Hex," which is shaping up to be one of the biggest bombs of the year. Last month, she was suddenly dropped from the cast of "Transformers 3" just as production was about to begin. She last year likened franchise director Michael Bay to Hitler and Napoleon, and said he was "a nightmare to work for."

Her high-profile headlining role in the 2009 horror comedy "Jennifer's Body" also fizzled.

Green, meanwhile, has worked steadily in a series of low-profile film and TV projects since the popular teen soap "Beverly Hills, 90210" ended its decade long run in 2000.

Sandra Bullock Scarlett Johansson Kiss on MTV Movie Awards – Watch!

There were quite a few highlights at the MTV Movie Awards 2010, including Tom Cruise’s performance with Jennifer Lopez and Kristen and Robert’s acceptance speech for Best Kiss but we’re pretty sure Sandra Bullock’s moment with Scarlett Johansson is what will have everyone talking this week.

Bullock, who looked stunning in a sparkly black dress, approached the stage to accept her Generation Award. Betty White gave a great introduction – as did Bradley Cooper – but no one could figure out why Scarlett Johansson was on stage helping to present.

All of a sudden, Sandra turned to Scarlett and said how she honestly didn’t know why she was on stage to help hand out the award. “It’s seriously awkward” said Bullock, just before asking Scarlett why she was there. Scarlett then explained that her boyfriend Ryan Reynolds wanted to be there for their nomination for Best Kiss but couldn’t make it so she was there to fill in. Then, out of nowhere, the two locked lips.

Was it hot? We’ll leave that up to you. From what we’ve read, the only complaints online are that the kiss needed to be longer.

What did you think of Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson’s kiss?
