Heath Ledger & Several Less-Dead People Win Golden Globes
The Golden Globes are like the fun Oscars, mainly due to a lack of Rob Lowe singing duets of Proud Mary with Snow White. But last night's Golden Globes had an unavoidably sad shadow looming over them. Was this because it was the first major awards show to honour the late Heath Ledger's role in The Dark Knight by giving him the award for Best Supporting Actor? In part, yes. But mainly it's because Mickey Rourke decided to use his Golden Globes acceptance speech to eulogise some of his dead pets. And because Rumer Willis' face gives us the creeps.

Batman Sues The Dark Knight Over Countless Illegalities
The last time Batman was in court it was for the now infamous case Batman vs. Dick Grayson's cold, cold heart, in which the Dark Knight awkwardly sued his only co-worker for unrequited love. We're not sure how it ended, but we seem to remember some major civil right coming out of the thing. The next time he was in court was for a space-camp lawsuit, and the time after that it was because Catwoman smacked him really hard with a bull-whip once. It was in the middle of a battle. The judge sided with the lady, possibly because she was all leathered-up. But as anybody who has ever sued judicially knows, three lawsuits are never enough. That's why Batman is currently sticking it to Christopher Nolan for getting all up in his business and ruining the awesome life he once had. Wait - did we say '..he once had'? Because we meant to say '..it once had.' The Batman in this case is some crappy city in Turkey.

Batman 3: Cher Is Catwoman, So Feel Free To Gag
There's never been a perfect Catwoman, and that's because no Catwoman has ever straddled a cannon and bellowed If I Could Turn Back Time with her arse out. But that's potentially going to change with the release of Batman 3, or whatever the sequel to The Dark Knight is going to be called. That's because, according to The Mirror, Christopher Nolan's first choice to play Catwoman is none other than 62-year-old surgically modified warbler Cher. Phew, and to think that Angelina Jolie was almost Catwoman, too. That would have just been sick.

Mary-Kate Olsen Demands Immunity: World Raises Collective Eyebrow
The loss of innocence is a big thing in the life, marking the point when they stop being a child and truly become an adult. When it comes to the world of celebrities, however, this distinction is harder to make. Thank golly gosh for the Olsens then, who we've been able to watch all their lives as they became adults! With problems! The latest occurrence in Mary-Kate Olsen's quest for womanhood has come as she seeks immunity from prosecution in the investigation into Heath Ledger's death earlier this year. Oh how she's grown!

Morgan Freeman Has a Car Accident: is ‘Recovering’
Unfortunately, it's not a DVD outtake for Driving Miss Daisy - that would be much easier to make light of. No - Morgan Freeman is the latest to be involved in the so-called 'curse' of The Dark Knight, after he was involved in a car accident on Sunday night, which officials referred to as 'serious'. The 71-year-old actor will require surgery on a shattered elbow, as well as time for other less serious injuries to his neck and shoulder to heal. While initial reports said Freeman was in a serious state, these have since rescinded and he is expected to make a comfortable, if slow, recovery from his injuries.

The Goonies 2: Will it be Funny to See a Fully-Grown Man Truffle Shuffling?
Do we really need to see a grown man truffle shuffle? That's the question that has been buzzing around in our heads for the past few hours after news that there's a distinct chance that the Goonies 2 film, rumoured for so very long, is actually in the early stages of real, bona-fide production. And if the sources are to be believed, this isn't a case of The Lost Boys 2: Straight To DVD And Missing The Point Of The First Completely - this is something Warner Brothers want to actually try and get right. So how do we feel about that? Well, I would say we have mixed emotions.

Shia LaBeouf Selfishly Forces Transformers 2 to be Completely (Slightly) Changed
It's something we've all been taught from a young age, from our days of appearing in school productions of whatever rubbish the teachers thought our parents may want to see: don't ruin your body parts when you're playing the lead character. It's something that maybe, possibly just should have been taught to everyone's favourite beef machine, Shia LaBeouf, before he was involved in a smashed-up cartastrophe a week ago. Unfortunately it seems that noone did teach Beefy this one life lesson, and the manchild has ended up with something of a mashed up hand. Halfway through filming Transformers 2. You broke the golden rule, Shia. Silly boy. Fear not though, as director extraordinairre and all-round BOOM! BLAMMO! KABLAM! personality Michael Bay may well have a solution to the age-old problem of children crashing their cars halfway through filming huge-budget blockbusters: give him a CGI hand four times bigger than his head that transforms into a public toilet - of death. What do you mean that's not what he said? Ohhhh - he said he'd probably just write it into the script somehow. Makes more sense, we suppose.
