Anne Hathaway and Keira Knightley Up for ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Roles

More casting rumors for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ hath cometh. The Hollywood Reporter squeals that female leads are finally being ironed out. A slew of A-list actresses are after a role in the next Batman installment.

Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Biel (ew, no thanks) are all doing screen tests in the coming weeks. A few up-and-comers are also in the running. Kate Mara, Charlotte Riley and Gemma Arterton will also be testing.

The key here is that there might be room for more than one woman on set. Rumor has it that a love interest and female villain are in the works…

“Dark Knight Rises needs to fill two big female roles, a villain and a love interest. Sources say one character is Talia, the daughter of villain Ra’s Al Ghul, who was portrayed by Liam Neeson in Nolan’s first Gotham-set crime pic Batman Begins. In the comic books, Talia is both Batman’s lover and antagonist, ultimately siring his alter ego Bruce Wayne’s son.”

Charlotte is engaged to Tom Hardy who is already slated for an unspecified role in the third Batman flick. Perhaps she might have some leverage. It is also noted that Gemma has been casted to star in ‘Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters’ and may face schedule conflicts that could knock her out of the contender lineup.

We should have some concrete casting news soon. Filming is due to start in May.

Ted Williams Explains Arrested/Altercation with Daughter – VIDEO

On Monday Night the voice over version of Susan Boyle let us down. Ted Williams went from slut for booze money to recovering alcoholic plucked from Ohio with a Golden Voice. It’s like a poor man’s version of “From Homeless to Harvard.”

Ol’ Willy hasn’t been enjoying the spoils of national fame for a full week and he has already taken a turn down Jerry Springer Road. His daughter and her bank account went to visit him in his room at Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood. She claims he is pulling a Lindsay Lohan and drinking entire bottles of Grey Goose, cashing it with beer and washing down with wine. She then allegedly tried to blackmail him and fighting ensued. Police arrived and took them both into custody. No one was charged but Teddy now has some cuts on his face thanks to his daughter’s acrylic claws. BTW, he has NINE KIDS. Looks like sweet nectar wasn’t his only hobby. His ex-wife, Patricia Kirtley, raised 5 of the kids while he battled his addictions.

Via NBC:

“Patricia Kirtley and Ted Williams had 4 daughters and she also raised a son he fathered with another woman. She now resides in Ohio and has 16 grandchildren. Her eldest daughter was 7 when Ted left. Another remarkable thing about Patricia, she is partially blind. Patricia and Ted ended their marriage 23 years ago. Patricia never received one dime in child support.

While he was struggling with a drug addiction, she had to go on welfare. She eventually attended school and became a licensed blind vendor to support her children. Most of the past 23 years, Ted have been missing in action. He is a stranger to his own children and grandchildren.”

One of the children isn’t even hers?!!??! Patty is the real star here. She needs some sitcom with Antione Dodson. For real.

Enter Dr. Phill. (Shiz just got real.) He will be talking with Golden Voice and that mess will air tonight.

Eva Longoria Keeping Wedding Date Tattoo – PHOTOS

After Eva Longoria announced that she and Tony Parker were getting divorced, rumors followed that she was in a hurry to erase every reminder of her marriage. The “Desperate Housewives” star had her wedding date inked on her wrist and reports surfaced that it had disappeared. A photo of Eva with the ink on her wrist appearing to be lightened or hidden under concealer followed. (She also has Tony’s jersey number on the back of her neck but the rumor focused on the tat on her wrist.)

Eva has now bashed the tattoo removal rumor via Twitter:

“Just so everyone knows i still have all my tattoos! Nothing is being removed, although i am always up for more tattoos! ;)

Longoria was also said to be confirming that the wedding date was still on her arm at Jeremy Renner’s 40th birthday party. This was the same party that Blake Lively was hitting on Leonardo DiCaprio while Christina Aguilera got sloppy drunk. (Click HERE for more on that story…)

John Travolta and Kelly Preston Baby Benjamin – PHOTOS

Benjamin Travolta has made his debut. John Travolta and Kelly Preston are smiling with their baby friend on the covers of Hello! and People magazine.

The couple is showing unity despite constant rumors of John being a fabulous homosexual with a fetish for spas. (Click HERE for Robert Randolf’s story on that or Click HERE for Carrie Fisher’s explanation of his sexuality…) Whatever John’s genital preference, the family is excited to have little Benjamin in their lives.

“These days, the Travolta home in Ocala, Fla., is filled with joy, lullabies from Dad (“A Bushel and a Peck,” from the musical Guys and Dolls, is a favorite), readings of Good Night, Gorilla and hugs from big sister Ella. Best moment for both parents so far? Benjamin’s first smile.”

Congrats!

“A source confirms exclusively in the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday, that Kate Hudson, 31, is 14 weeks pregnant with boyfriend Matthew Bellamy’s baby. ‘It was not planned, but they are excited and embracing it.’”

Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom’s 10 lb. Baby!

Miranda Kerr may be a stick-thin Victoria’s Secret model, but that didn’t stop her and Orlando Bloom’s newborn son from weighing in at a whopping TEN POUNDS!!

Kerr’s grandmother spilled the beans to a “friend,” who of course sold the info to an Australian magazine about the size of the baby boy.

Via US Weekly:

“As a source confirmed to UsMagazine.com, Kerr, 27, welcomed her first child in an L.A. hospital on Friday. Kerr and her big boy are doing ‘very well,’ her grandmother said.”

Though ten pound babies are much more common nowadays, it is interesting that both his parents weigh only a few pounds more than he does.

No word yet on Bloom Baby’s name.

Britney Spears To Perform At The Grammys

While riding high after dropping her first song in ages, (listen to it HERE), it seems Britney Spears has now been asked to perform at the Grammy Awards.

Via Perez Hilton:

“Right now there are no plans for her to open the show but we’re told that ‘she’s been rehearsing for weeks and it’s gonna be a truly great performance!’”

A rep for Spears did not confirm that the singer is scheduled to perform.

Should Spears perform at the awards bash scheduled to take place February 13, it would mark the first time in FOREVER that Spears performed, or lipsync’d, in ages.

I really hope she performs. I can’t stand anymore Ke$ha. I need Britney to remind us all of the true meaning of body glitter and snake usage while performing.

Jewel and Ty Murray Expecting First Child

Jewel and husband Ty Murray have been trying to have a baby since the pair wed in 2008, and now their dream is coming true – Jewel has confirmed she is pregnant with her first child!

Per Daily Mail:

‘I took a pregnancy test and it was positive!’ Jewel told People magazine. ‘It was so hard to keep it a secret. I was worried I’d start throwing up on set and everyone would be like, “Oh, she’s pregnant.”

She did manage to keep it secret, waiting to spill the beans until she’d successfully entered into her second trimester – though she still isn’t giving a due date or letting slip whether it’s a boy or a girl. Wow, there must be something in the water! Seems like lots of celebs are procreating lately! Congrats!

Jaime Pressly DUI Trouble – Nearly Three Times Over Legal Limit

I don’t understand celebrities. You go out on a crazy night of binge drinking, you drive your car, and you get busted for a DUI… Celebrities have no excuse – They have lots of money and they can clearly afford to have a car service drive their drunk butts home. Well Jaime Pressly is the latest celebrity to join the celebrity DUI club. And it looks like she’s going to be in some serious trouble. Jaime was pulled over and arrested in Santa Monica on January 5th and clearly she didn’t just have one or two drinks.

Per TMZ:

Law enforcement sources tell us … Jaime blew the .22 in the field. That’s nearly 3 times the legal limit of .08.

Jaime spent the night in jail and had to pay $15k bail. Clearly, she’s going to have a heck of a time getting out of this one. Nearly three times the legal limit? She’s lucky she didn’t kill herself or God forbid someone else. God luck, sister. You’re going to need it!
