Who Will Play Catwoman? Hint: NOT ANGELINA!

Rumors started by The New York Times and Julie Newmar had Angelina Jolie vying for the role of Catwoman (which would be totally hot. But sadly, untrue.)

Instead, it seems that Christopher Nolan has someone else in mind. It also seems he is off his nut.

The facts: Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart signed on for two Bat-pictures. A source close to Maggie Gyllenhaal confirmed that she’s excited about the next movie, “why else would she, or Katie Holmes for that matter, take on the thankless roll of Rachel Dawson? After Katie left the role, they could’ve created a new character. But that wasn’t part of Nolan’s plan. This is the trajectory he’s planned for Rachel since the first movie. Not only is Maggie contractually obligated, but she’s already getting in shape for Batman 3.”

“It shows Christopher Nolan has imagination that he didn’t cast me as the villain,” said Gary Oldman (Jim Gordon), “since somehow I got into this thing of always playing these eccentric characters. But I always liked the Riddler. I liked the whole Riddle aspect. I loved the suit. I thought the suit was pretty cool. You have to be pretty fit, though, don’t you, to wear the Riddler outfit?”

Same for Catwoman’s outfit, but Maggie Gyllenhaal (Rachel Dawes) is willing to try it on for size. “I liked Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman,” Gyllenhaal said.

“There was alaways a Batman movie out in the summer when I was growing up, but I usually couldn’t care less. But doing this movie, I started to get it. I felt it. I understood.” Especially when she’d had a scene where “Batman would save me from certain death and envelope me with his cape,” she said. “I thought, ‘Oh, that kind of feels good.’ ”

And since Catwoman is sometimes saved by Batman, Gyllenhaal said she wouldn’t mind borrowing one of her nine lives, just to relive that experience. “Yeah!”

Sigh. If this is true, I will cry. Catwoman should be sexy. Maggie is about as sexy as a houseplant. I like her, but she oozes good girl.

Angelina Jolie Highly Interested in Catwoman Role

It looks as though Angelina Jolie has been tipped to play Catwoman, should director Christopher Nolan resurrect the part.

Former Catwoman Julie Newmar tells the New York Daily News, "Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me (she) has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman's one true love. She's tremendously popular with women because she's both a heroine and a villainess."

Jolie would definitely be hot in that role, but I think a darker version would be in order if she were to act the part.

Halle Berry Is STILL Pregnant

Halle Berry announced that she was three months pregnant back on September 4th, so we wonder if she's now overdue. Here she is leaving Bristol Farms with Gabriel Aubry, in Beverly Hills.

Poor Halle. She looks like she's ready for baby, that's for sure.

Halle Berry: Best Maternity Dress EVER.

The gossip sites are too busy making fun of her hair in these pictures which is a little more wild than it was the other day when I made fun of it. Heh.

What I noticed about these pictures was this amazing dress. I love the print, the fit, the collar -- everything about it is chic and SO. HALLE.

Adorable video after the jump.

Halle Berry's New Do

Karen — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 16:02:00 GMT

Dear Halle,

I love your acting and think you are a beautiful woman. Unfortunately you have what I had while pregnant: the inability to make good hair decisions. Sweetie, you may think your new hairstyle is gorgeous. Hey, you might even start a trend, much to my chagrin.

Look, it's not terrible. It's not some cracked out weave a la Amy Winehouse, and it's certainly cleaner than Britney Spears' coif, but there's a song playing in my head and I can't get it out....

"Now I.....had...the time of my life...."

Nobody puts Halle in a corner.

Say it with me: "I carried a watermelon."
