Considering that Megan Fox can be counted out, Charlize Theron is now proclaiming how she’d love to “kick a*s” as Catwoman.

The Hollywood actress is thrilled to learn that she is in the running to play the super-villain alongside Christian Bale and Sir Michael Caine in the upcoming sequel to Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight.

“It’s news to me, but that’s kick-a*s news. I like that… I think that what has happened to that franchise is amazing, and director Chris Nolan is a genius. So I would be an idiot to not consider that.”

If the 34-year-old starlet accepts the role, she will be following in the footsteps of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry, who have both donned the iconic leather catsuit on the big screen.

Other actresses linked to the role include Angelina Jolie and Rachel Weisz.

No Catwoman Role for Megan Fox

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Upcoming Releases

Yes, yes - we all know that Megan Fox is gorgeous and has an amazing body. But must she really be associated with every single female action role out there?

So far the Transformers star has already denied becoming the next Lara Croft (‘cause she’s like so not Angelina Jolie). She’s also squashed rumors about a possible James Bond appearance. Now she’s supposedly in talks to take over a feline role.

According to The Sun, Fox will be following in both Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry’s footprints as the new Catwoman. The character would reportedly be included in the next Batman film. There’s just one problem: that casting announcement is - surprise! - complete bogus.

“It’s rumor. It’s not true,” a studio rep told People. “There is no script. There is no project to be cast in.”

So now that we’ve cleared that up, what else can we get Megan to deny while we’re at it? That she’ll be the next Wonder Woman? She’s landed the role of Barbarella? She’s going to replace Charlize Theron in the Hancock sequel?

Cher’s Publicist Enjoys Catwoman Rumors

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Sequels, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors

C’mon. Does anyone really believe the rumors are real?

Last month, Britain’s Daily Telegraph reported that Britney Spears was being sought for a role in a Quentin Tarantino film. And while that story has since been shot down, the same newspaper is back at it again.

Over the past week, buzz has been spreading about the next installment in the Batman series. According to the Telegraph, director Christopher Nolan is currently talking to Cher about playing Catwoman. The paper cites a ‘studio exec’ who says Nolan has strong visions for the Vegas singer. “Cher is Nolan’s first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years,” said the source.

By the way - did I mention that Johnny Depp is supposedly on board to play The Riddler as well?

Brangelina Babies Born…What’s Next?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Adaptation, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases

Unless you managed to seal yourself in a cave the past few weeks, you know the Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie twins have been born. This Hollywood power couple has never let grass grow under their feet - so what’s next for the industrious pair? Not much has been confirmed, but one thing is certain - these two just aren’t going to stop making headlines.

In case you haven’t heard the news, The Dark Knight is making money hand over fist (domestically, the film has already made well over an astronomical $300 million). It’s only natural that talk of a new Batman installment is already circulating.

None of those associated with the current Batman movies have said much about the possible flick, but one star from the past has stepped forward to put in her two cents. Julie Newmar, the iconic Catwoman who played opposite Adam West’s Batman, has nominated Angelina Jolie for her former role. “Angelina would own the part,” Newmar stated to the New York Daily News.
