New Picture From Batman Sequel The Dark Knight
Don’t know how I feel about Heath Ledger’s face…it looks like he inherited Tammy Faye Bakker’s make-up kit, but I’m still way excited to see this movie.

Best friends and A-list hottie Oscar winners Matt Damon and Ben Affleck enjoyed Father’s day weekend in Hawaii with their respective families. They even found enough time to dust off their surf boards–Matthew McConaughey style.
Perez Hilton’s troubles continue to snowball, as his server host has dropped him and his famous website, causing the site to be down for many hours, and is now back up with limited access. I have trouble having sympathy for this man. At all.
Isaiah Washington’s ego refuses to deflate, and his mouth refuses to stay shut. Now that he’s been permanently ousted from Grey’s Anatomy, he plans on suing ABC and is now trying to blame T.R. Knight for the entire ordeal.
Remember Alfonso Ribeiro, the cutie who played geeky Carlton Banks back on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air with Will Smith? Well prepare yourself kiddies because your jaw will drop to the floor when you see what he looks like these days.

Christina Aguilera recently kicked off the third leg of her Back to Basics tour in Tokyo, Japan, and it’s fueled the pregnancy rumors even more because of her change of outfit (it’s now a looser fit costume) and a heart rate monitor watch (I suppose to make sure the baby is okay and she’s not overexerting herself) that she’s now wearing on stage. In other Aguilera news, she just owned Kelly Osbourne and bought up her old house. Revenge is sweet……bitch.
Apparently Kelly Clarkson, whose album My December is unfortunately most likely going to flop like her tour did, battled bulimia in high school. Ew, way to steal attention-getting sympathy stories from Katharine McPhee. What’s next? Letting Ellen DeGeneres squeeze your boobs?
Kate Hudson takes another swing at romantic comedies with a new film called Bachelor No. 2 in which Dane Cook will also be starring. Considering his track record with movies (okay, he’s only been in one, but it was bad enough) and his terrible jokes that he steals from Louis C.K., and Kate’s recent flops, I think it’s safe to say this movie will royally suck. Oh well.
Some photos have surfaced from the set of The Dark Knight, featuring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart. I seriously cannot imagine how this movie could go wrong. Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal (a big upgrade from Katie Holmes), Aaron Eckhart and Morgan Freeman? I need to see this yesterday.

Page Six of the NY Post is reporting that Roseanne Barr along with Whoopi Goldberg and Kathie Lee Gifford, is in the running to replace Rosie O’Donnell once she leaves The View. I think she’d work, I’d like Whoopi on there as well. Kathie however, just needs to fall off of the face of the Earth and never find her way home.
Desperate Housewives led ABC to a ratings sweeps victory last night as Mrs. McClusky was arrested after her husband’s (or so we assume) body was found in her basement freezer. With 17 million viewers, the show garnered it’s best average since March, and led in the key ratings demographic. Meanwhile Polly Bergen is joining the show as Felicity Huffman’s mother.
Kelly Clarkson has announced her summer tour dates, and unfortunately there aren’t any in the city. I will once again have to travel to Long Island. At any rate, I’m afraid for her voice because her upper range seems to be shredded–judging from her recent American Idol performance and her Daytona performances. She needs vocal rest. Oh well.
One of my favorite comedians, Sarah Silverman, will be hosting this year’s MTV Movie Awards. Sadly enough, in recent years these awards have been more entertaining than the VMAs. Has MTV forgotten they’re a music channel? It would seem so. Eh, who cares. VH1 for the win!

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. have returned, and I’m excited. I fell in love with Sarah back in her Buffy days, even more when she was in I Know What You Did Last Summer. I fell in love with Freddie in that movie Down To You with Julia Stiles. They’re such an adorable couple. Please come back to me.
The creators of Sex and the City, Candace Bushnell and Darren Star, have gotten themselves into a bit of a predicament. Each of them has developed an adaptation of the show for two different networks, one called Lipstick Jungle, and the other called Cashmere Mafia, and both are looking to get picked up for this fall’s schedule. I think they’ll both end up being fucked.
TMZ has a video of Tobey Maguire slapping a fan’s camera away when he tries to nab a picture of Maguire as he’s entering his hotel. The absolute best part of the video is the guy laughing at the end. Some people think Tobey was rude, but honestly I would’ve done the same thing. The guy walks right next to him and puts the camera directly in Tobey’s face. Ever heard of personal space?
Take a look at some recent pictures of Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal taking Maggie’s daughter Ramona out for a walk in the city. I think I’ve outgrown my attraction to Jake completely. First there was the whole beard thing, and now I hear he’s dating Reese Witherspoon which is just a big no-no. Though considering he used to date Kirsten Dunst, he may have a thing for women who can’t act.
Jessica Simpson is in talks to star in a film called The Kentucky Fried Horror Show. Please read that sentence again because it was not a joke. Apparently it’s about college kids on Spring Break getting involved with a religious cult, and I hear Hilary Duff may be getting into the movie as well. Jesus Christ, they just greenlight anything these days, don’t they?

Mandy Moore is looking mighty fierce in the most recent issue of Vanity Fair. I never got around to seeing that movie with her and Diane Keaton in theaters, I’ll catch it on DVD. It looks cute.
New York artists are suing NBC over the concept of their hit show Heroes, which the artists claim ripped of the concept of Isaac the Painter from their exhibition that the creators of the show visited before finishing their pilot.
Hollywood beauties and mommies Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon were photographed hanging out together for the first time ever. Aww, how cute. Maybe Reese can give Jen some of her box office luck since girlfriend can’t seem to get a hit movie.
Speaking of Reese Witherspoon, she’s looking pretty smokin’ in this month’s Harper’s Bazaar. I’ve never been a big fan of her face, something about her mouth and chin really bother me, but she’s a cute girl with a nice body. I’m loving her new hair too.

Christina Aguilera looking gorgeous with her best friend and make-up artist Steve Sollito at a hockey game in Vancouver. She did 7 shows in Canada and all of them were completely sold out. Get ‘em girl!
Is Academy Award winner (ooh, it feels so awesome to say that) Jennifer Hudson going to be playing Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin in a biopic? I hope if they do cast her, she really works to differentiate the character from Effie, but otherwise I think she’s perfect for it.
Maggie Gyllenhaal is in the final stages of negotiations to replace Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes in the upcoming sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight. This is definitely an upgrade. Katie was the weakest link in an otherwise great movie.
Woody Allen is casting Scarlett Johansson in yet another one of his films. I’m really starting to think he’s putting her in his movies more because he has a crush on her and less because he thinks she’s talented and fits the roles. But I’m not a big fan of his films anyway so, do what you want, Woody.

Woohoo! I’m so happy today because my Desperate Housewives ladies Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman nabbed Golden Globe nominations! The show itself also got a nomination for Best Comedy Series.
But something interesting about this year’s nominations is…they nominated three people multiple times. Clint Eastwood got two Best Director nominations, Helen Mirren got two nominations for Best Actress in a Mini-Series as well as a Best Actress in a Drama nomination, and Leonardo DiCaprio received two nominations for Best Actor–one for Blood Diamond and one for The Departed.
It seems REALLY stupid to me, because obviously the person cannot win for both. It’s a waste of a nomination, especially when there are other deserving candidates who could be nominated. Luckily, there’s rules against this at the Oscars.
Some other nominations that made me happy:
Jeremy Piven - Entourage
Toni Collette - Little Miss Sunshine
Jennifer Hudson - Dreamgirls
Ben Affleck - Hollywoodland
Patricia Arquette- Medium
Kyra Sedgwick - The Closer
Michael C. Hall - Dexter
Katherine Heigl - Grey’s Anatomy
Ugly Betty
Thank You For Smoking
Snubs:
Vanessa Williams - Ugly Betty
Mariska Hargitay - Law & Order: SVU
Bill Condon - Dreamgirls (Best Director)
Ryan Gosling - Half Nelson (One of Leo’s noms would have gone to him)

One of my fave couples Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn have given each other the boot. Wtf..was this whole “The Break-Up” era just a publicity stunt?
Grey’s Anatomy beat Desperate Housewives in the ratings again this week but CSI took down Seattle Grace.
Indie darlings Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard had their baby and named it Ramona.

Alias hottie Bradley Cooper is now engaged to Crash star Jennifer Esposito. (BTW, they are both GORGEOUS in person. Bradley’s eyes will make you melt.)
Yet another Jim Carrey project has been canned. The much talked about reunion of he and his former co-star Cameron Diaz is no longer moving forward with production.
Actors Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard are ready for the next two steps in their relationship.
The Hollywood couple is engaged to be married and already expecting a baby, report news sources. It will be the first marriage for both actors, who have been dating for four years.
Although they’ve both appeared in high-profile studio films, they’ve made the biggest splashes in indie movies. Gyllenhaal, 28, is the older sister of “Brokeback Mountain” star Jake Gyllenhaal. They co-starred in the cult favorite “Donnie Darko,” but she really made a name for herself as the titular submissive in 2002’s “Secretary” opposite James Spader.
Her other credits include “Adaptation,” “Mona Lisa Smile,” the upcoming “Trust the Man” and Oliver Stone’s “World Trade Center.”
Sarsgaard, 35, may be more familiar to mainstream audiences. His recent studio films include “Jarhead,” “Flightplan” and “The Skeleton Key.” His other film credits include critically acclaimed roles in “Boys Don’t Cry,” “Shattered Glass,” “Garden State” and “Kinsey.”
