Talk about upping the ante! We couldn't have been any less impressed with the new poster for The Dark Knight Rises that was released earlier this week, but it appears it was only a forerunner of the good things to come. Almost immediately after the "fiery redux" poster hit the 'net, three visually striking (and wet) new character posters popped up online. Now, four epic banner posters/billboards have also been released and they depict no less than all-out war between Batman (Christian Bale), the Gotham City Police Department, and Bane's (Tom Hardy) army, with Catwoman's (Anne Hathaway) allegiance — She's riding Batman's Bat-pod, but is it a loner or did the infamous cat burglar swipe it? — still in question.

Now that Avengers fever has subsided somewhat — Marvel Studios' super-team movie dropped 50% in sales its second week in theaters and an additional 46% the third week, but "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" still managed to sink the competition at the box office this past weekend — Warner Bros. is being a little more aggressive in its marketing of its own summer superhero spectacle, The Dark Knight Rises.
Warner Bros. aired a short promo for The Dark Knight Rises during the NBA playoffs last week and released several new posters earlier this week. Now, Warner Bros. has released a batch of new new still images from the movie featuring Batman (Christian Bale), Bane (Tom Hardy) and Catwoman (Anne Hathaway), as well as a pair of photos showing director Christopher Nolan working his magic on the set. Additionally, the first two TV spots for The Dark Knight Rises began airing last night and they can now be viewed online. Both spots are action-packed and contain tantalizing snippets of never-before-seen footage from the movie, with the second spot even including a bit of humor.

OK, we're not going to lie; we were a tad disappointed with yesterday's "new" poster for The Dark Knight Rises, which more or less was a knockoff of the movie's first poster (this clever GIF shows how little work went into creating the new poster).
But today the movie released something via Yahoo! that really has us panting — three new character posters featuring Catwoman (Anne Hathaway), Bane (Tom Hardy), and Batman (Christian Bale). Each gorgeous poster shows the character walking through pelting black rain with the word "RISE" above them.

Miley Cyrus is fighting rumors that she's anorexic. A recent photo of a thinner-than-usual Cyrus leaving the gym sparked talks that the actress/singer had an eating disorder. Cyrus took to Twitter to settle the debate. "For everyone calling me anorexic I have a gluten and lactose allergy. It's not about weight it's about health. Gluten is crapppp anyway!" she tweeted Monday. "Everyone should try no gluten for a week! The change in your skin, physical and mental health is amazing! U won't go back!"

Ashley Judd is going after critics who have pointed out her recent "puffy" appearance. In an op-ed piece, Judd said the criticism over her looks has been "nasty, gendered, and misogynistic and embodies what all girls and women in our culture, to a greater or lesser degree, endure every day, in ways both outrageous and subtle." The actress added: "The assault on our body image, the hypersexualization of girls and women and subsequent degradation of our sexuality as we walk through the decades, and the general incessant objectification is what this conversation allegedly about my face is really about." Judd's publicist said the actress' "puffy" appearance was due to a host of medications taken to battle a sinus infection. Some have speculated the actress had a puffy appearance because of cosmetic surgery

While Judd may not have altered her appearance purposely, Anne Hathaway has. The actress was recently photographed with a very short haircut and looking less than her usual beautiful self. The changed appearance is for her role in Les Miserables. In the musical, Hathaway plays Fantine, a woman whose beauty deteriorates as she attempts to care for her child (selling both her two front teeth and her hair), turns to prostitution and becomes ill with tuberculosis. For the role, Hathaway is on a special diet but her publicist said Hathaway is not losing that much weight and is consuming more than 500 calories a day.

From the beginning, it looked like Anne Hathaway wasn't going to be the typical version of Catwoman in director Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. The first official photo of Hathaway in costume as Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, surfaced in August, showing her ride one of Batman's motorcycles while wearing high-tech goggles, which later were revealed to appear like cat ears when flipped up. In an interview with The LA Times, Hathaway talked about the practicality of her costume.
I love the costume. I love the costume because everything has a purpose, nothing is in place for fantasy’s sake, and that’s the case with everything in Christopher Nolan’s Gotham City.

In case you haven't checked your calendar lately, 2011 is soooo last year (almost). With the year winding down, it's time to look forward to all the awesome movies coming out in 2012.
Fandango released its 2012 Hot List poll, showing what movies and stars moviegoers are most looking forward to seeing next year. Interestingly, the poll divvies up votes by gender. While The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the most anticipated 2012 blockbuster for men, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 is women's No. 1 pick. Guess women are from Venus and men are from Middle-Earth. Here is the results of Fandango's (unscientific) poll:
2012's MOST ANTICIPATED BLOCKBUSTER:
According to Women
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2
The Hunger Games
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Dark Shadows
The Avengers
According to Men:
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
The Avengers
The Dark Knight Rises
The Bourne Legacy
Men in Black III

Academy Award-winning actor Christian Bale (The Fighter) hasn't spoken to the press about the Batman movies that have made him an international superstar since well before he donned the driven crimefighter's cape and cowl for the third time when director Christopher Nolan's highly-anticipated sequel to The Dark Knight began shooting in early May. Now that principal photography has wrapped on The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR), Bale has broken his silence, revealing what he thinks of his co-stars in the movie with Filipino website Inquirer.net and announcing "the end" of his "Batman era."

Demi Moore has filed for divorce from Ashton Kutcher, virtually citing his cheating as the reason, telling the AP, "It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton.

- Kutcher confirmed the news via a tweet saying, "I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi." No word on whether that was written by Kutcher or one of the writers at his media company now in charge of the feed.
- Moore will surely be changing her Twitter handle from "MrsKutcher" and Us offers a few suggestions.
- Kutcher and Moore's "open marriage" has been blamed for the split, with one insider saying Demi likes women as much as men.
- Kutcher's alleged mistress Brittney Jones, who claims to have had sex with him after meeting at a bowling alley in 2010, now says, "I told ya so."

To borrow from Francis Church's classic 1897 editorial about the jolly fat man, "Yes, comic book movie fans, there is a Catwoman."
Ever since it was first announced that Anne Hathaway would be playing "Selina Kyle" in Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, fans who know that name to be the civilian identity of Catwoman have been dying to know more about her role in the movie — Villain? Love interest? Frienemy? — and what the new Catwoman costume would look like. Shortly after the announcement, Nolan made a point of saying in an interview that Hathaway was playing Selina Kyle, not Catwoman, which made a lot of fans scratch their heads. Was Nolan just being coy or had he done away with the more titilating half of the character's personality to fit in with his "grounded" comic book movie world?
Hathaway herself seemed to reveal the truth about her charcter's dual identity when she told Oprah Winfrey that she was waiting to hear if she got the part of "Catwoman," but then the first publicity still was released and, rather than a feline-themed catburglar costume, Hathaway sported a pretty standard black bodysuit and goggles. Where was the mask? The cat ears? Subsequent "spy" photos and video of Hathaway and her stunt double in costume also failed to reveal anything looking like a Catwoman costume, but now two new batches of photos from the L.A. set of have turned up online and they not only show Hathaway wearing her slinky black costume as she chums around with Batman (Christian Bale) and Commissioner Gordon, but they reveal for the very first time that her costume does include a mask and cat ears.
