Christian Bale Trades Batman For Brooklyn Tough Guy
Why do we love Christian Bale? Let us count the ways: Empire of the Sun; that talent; that face; that awesome dad. Bale, who stars in the new Batman movie The Dark Knight, sat down with Today's Matt Lauer this morning, and honestly, we didn't know what to clip...so we clipped it all. Click to hear Christian discuss this film's rave reviews, doing his own stunts, Chicago's Sears Tower, co-star Heath Ledger, and his kids... all in an accent that sounds like some combination of English, Australian and Brooklyn tough guy.

It's A Bird! It's A Plane! No, It's Anna Wintour's Dress
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute's annual gala: Oh, it happened all right. And though you now know who made it into the the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly category of "fashion's Oscars," we know you're just dying to know what the media themselves had to say about the yearly orgy of fashion and fame.

Hello, Kitty
On NPR's All Things Considered, Alison Keyes discusses Catwoman. Although the DC comics character has become, Keyes writes, "a symbol of feminine power," she started out as a villain, foil and whip-carrying burglar for Batman to battle in 1940. Later, in the campy '60s TV series Batman, Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt turned the Catwoman character into a fierce, gorgeous, smart woman who happens to be a bad girl. Catwoman has had her own comic for 15 years, and if you don't follow these things you may not know: She's changed from the saucy minx we once knew. Although she's still stacked as hell and not afraid to flaunt it, she no longer wears high heels. Plus! Selina Kyle (Catwoman's real name) has a backstory: She's an orphan, has a sister, and used to be a prostitute. This past was created for her in 1986. What happened between 1940 and 1986 that forty years later a woman needs to be a hooker in order to be a thief? [NPR]
