The Dark Knight

Now that she's tackled The Climb, Miley Cyrus wants to fly...like a bat.

The Hannah Montana star is apparently jockeying for the role of Batgirl in the upcoming sequel to the 2008 blockbuster The Dark Knight.

And she's really into it, according to the National Enquirer. She reportedly went so far as to show up to a producer's office dressed as the caped heroine.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen took its revenge on the box office this weekend.

The sequel to 2007's hit film Transformers, which stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, took in an estimated $201.2 million this weekend, making it the second best five-day opening in history. 

The Dark Knight holds the number one spot, having grossed $203.8 million in its first five days in 2008.

This past awards season's biggest story was whether or not Heath Ledger would win a posthumous Oscar for his role in The Dark Knight.

Well, if director Terry Gilliam has his way, that will be the story next year as well, except it will be for his film, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.

Despite the fact that there initially was concern that he film would never make theaters, the movie has been given a prime fall release date.

We love us some JGL and have been following his website, Hitrecord.org, for some time now.

Yesterday he put up a personal message, almost a press release, about his new film, Hesher, which he’ll shoot before starring in the next film from Christopher Nolan (Memento, The Dark Knight).

He writes:

Dane Cook isn't the only celebrity with troubled siblings.

Matthew Francis Nolan, brother of Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight, may be a real-life villain. 

Matthew has been arrested in Chicago and is under investigation due to his suspected involvement in a bank fraud scheme and the kidnapping and murder of Florida businessman Robert C. Cohen in 2005 in Costa Rica. 

Heath Ledger's Oscar-winning performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight may be the last opportunity for the actor's fans to see him on the big screen after all.

When Ledger died last year he was about a third of the way through filming Monty Python star Terry Gilliam's latest project, The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus. Gilliam changed the script around so that Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp could finish the film in Ledger's role.

Slumdog Millionaire cleaned up at the Academy Awards, winning eight of the ten awards it was nominated for. Milk's star and writer were also lauded while The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which had the most nods going into the night, twelve in total, but was only recognized for its visual and technical achievements.

And the winners are...

Get those ballots and cheat sheets ready, kids, Gossip Sauce has your Oscar winner predictions below...that is, unless you’re in our Oscar pool, in which case, piss off.

That’s right, I’m talking to you Miss Kelly, and you Mister Tye, and you Mrs. Jorgensen-Reilly, and don’t think I forgot about you Miss King or you, Miss Taylor. Pick your own damn winners. Big Mama needs a new pair of shoes and that pot is all ours!

Is anyone else suffering from award season fatigue or is it just us?

Last night the BAFTA Awards were announced and, as usual, it was a parade of every winner we’ve seen all year. We can practically recite them in our sleep.

In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past three months, the winners (again) were:

Best Film: Slumdog Millionaire

Best Director: Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire

Leading Actor: Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler

Leading Actress: Kate Winslet, The Reader

Heath Ledger now officially has the sad honor of joining an elite group of celebrities who have made more money after than their deaths than while they were living.

Others on the Forbes list of wealthiest dead celebrities list include Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Paul Newman, who just just passed away this past September, and James Dean, who has consistently made the list for over 50 years.
