Cher as Catwoman?


And The Dark Knight sequel gossip continues. Could Cher be in line to play Catwoman in the next Batman installment? The British newspaper The Telegraph is citing a “studio executive” source, claiming that Cher us “Nolan’s first choice” for the role.

“He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years,” says the Telegraph’s source. “The new Catwoman will be the absolute opposite of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry’s purring creations.”


While I agree that Catwoman should be given a Nolanverse-style reboot, if she were to make an appearance in the next Batman film, Cher seems like a strange choice even considering Nolan’s history. Of course, The Telegraph is known for it’s gossipy/tabloid like reports, and unless an actual source is clearly identified, I wouldn’t bet 25 cents on a story like this one. But let us pretend for a second that this rumor is true: I would expect a heavy fan backlash over the casting choice. Not that Nolan hasn’t encountered adverse reaction in his past decisions. From what I remember, when the casting announcement was first made, most fans hated the idea of Heath Ledger as The Joker.


What do you think about the slight possibility of Cher playing The Catwoman in Nolan’s third Batman film?

Could it be Cher or Angelina Jolie?

Bernie Mac Dies at 50

http://media.movieweb.com/news/03.2007/bernie_mac.jpg

LOS ANGELES/CHICAGO, Aug 9 (Reuters Life!) - Comedian and actor Bernie Mac, who starred in one of U.S. TV's few black sitcoms and appeared in the "Ocean's 11" movies, died in Chicago on Saturday after a bout with pneumonia. He was 50.


Publicist Danica Smith confirmed the death in a statement but gave no further details. "We ask that his family's privacy continues to be respected," she said.

Reactions poured in from Hollywood, which was taken by surprise because two days ago, Smith said he was "responding well to treatment" and remained in "stable condition."

"The world just got a little less funny. He will be dearly missed," said George Clooney, who starred with Mac in the "Ocean's" trilogy of hit box office films.

Mac was hospitalized in Chicago on August 1, and Smith said then his illness was unrelated to a chronic tissue inflammation called sarcoidosis, which had been in remission since 2005.

The Chicago-born comedian, whose given name was Bernard Jeffrey McCullough, was best known for his TV comedy "The Bernie Mac Show," which ran for five seasons until 2006.

Along with the "Ocean's" capers, he appeared in movies such as comedy "Guess Who" and "Mr. 3000." He recently worked on a new TV show "Starting Under" and an upcoming film "Soul Men."

With his beefy frame and bulging eyes, Mac cut an imposing figure. His scathing comedic observations were inspired by his impoverished childhood in Chicago and honed by years on the stand-up circuit.

"I reflect on my childhood, my young adulthood, the disappointments of life -- the problems I brought on myself, the self-pity I went through before I became a man," he told Playboy magazine in 2003.

Christina Applegate battling breast cancer

"Samantha Who" actress Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Actress Christina Applegate reportedly is undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

Ame Van Iden, publicist for the 36-year-old actress, released the following statement late Saturday:


"Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer. Benefiting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery."


Applegate has earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her starring role in ABC's comedy "Samantha Who?" Applegate plays the title character, a young career woman who awakens from an eight-day coma remembering nothing about her past.


The series debuted last October and marked the return to television of Applegate, who helped establish the upstart Fox network in 1987 as ditzy teenager Kelly Bundy on "Married with Children." The raunchy comedy ran 11 seasons and has been airing in syndication ever since.


She won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 2003 for her portrayal of Amy Green, the younger sister of Jennifer Aniston's character on "Friends."


Applegate earned a 2005 Tony Award nomination for her Broadway role in "Sweet Charity."


"I'm really grateful that acting is the job that was chosen for me," Applegate told The Associated Press in April. "I get really lost when I'm not working. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with myself. Thank God for dance class and The New York Times crossword puzzle and `American Idol.' But acting is what I really have to do."


Applegate is among the celebrities scheduled to appear on the "Stand Up To Cancer" one-hour television special to be aired on ABC, CBS and NBC on Sept. 5 to raise funds for cancer research.

Valerie Campbell Article: Keeping Mum

http://www.condenast.co.uk/dcontent/images/vogue_2000/daily_updates/daily_images/s_u/vcampbell01_REXB.jpg

WITH another period of community service for assault charges hanging over her it's fair to say Naomi Campbell has had a tumultuous few months, but there's one person she can always rely on to fight her corner for her: her mum, Valerie.

"I try to abide by rules and regulations. If you break the law then you must pay the penalty. And I think Naomi understands that very well herself," the 55-year-old told Sky News interviewer Daphne Barak when quizzed about her supermodel daughter. "I'm there for her and you know the community service, she'll have to do it, and I'm sure she'll do it with humility."

Valerie has always publicly credited Naomi for supporting her through breast cancer three years ago, and she insists the downtimes - as well as the ups - are what makes their relationship so solid.

"It's drawn us closer. I'm a mother first and foremost. And if one of my children does something wrong, I'm going to tell them. When something is wrong, you deal with it. You say, 'That's wrong' and we have to try and correct it," she added.

"You know what, sometimes I'll just wake up in the night and I think 'Where's my daughter?'. And I'll text her, 'Where are you, hope you're well and looking after yourself, love mum'."

Others Comments:

Valerie Campbell -- Wow...what a brave lady. I just noticed a promo in "Gente" (Italy's "People") about a brand new interview with Valerie Campbell (Mom of Naomi)... It seems that Valerie talked very frankly and personally about her battle with breast cancer...her surgery...her daughter. Everything. I think it takes guts for someone to speak so candidly and publicly about something as personal and difficult as breast cancer, and surgery, treatment, etc.
I also saw where Valerie said that she is focused on "living" with cancer. And I think that is the key - and the very element of bravery, survival, and hope and purpose for dealing with something so terrible --- to focus on "LIVING".
I applaud her for her outlook and her bravery to speak out.


I just want to say kudos and thank you to both Valerie Campbell and Daphne Barak.
It's far too rare that celebrities are interviewed for the subject of something important and inspiring - like the strength and struggle of fighting breast cancer. So thank you to Daphne for doing this interview!
And great thanks to Valerie for having the courage to speak so publicly about something so intensely personal.
My cousin has just been diagnosed with breast cancer and is really struggling. I hope that she will watch the interview when it airs...as I think she would be very inspired by Valerie's outlook and attitude. As we all should be!!!



You know...something else interesting about Valerie and Naomi...
I heard that Naomi has not been grateful to her Mom who raised her and helped her achieve such success.
I heard that Valerie is nice and gracious about this... but I do wonder what she has to say about Naomi's anger attacks, and her sentencing... as I know Valerie is not a supporter of Naomi's tantrums/outbursts/meltdowns.. .
Should be interesting to see what she shares about this...
