It’s Going To Blow People Away

The tone on the set was dark and gloomy, but the sudden death of Heath Ledger added an additional and unwanted morbidity to the aura surrounding British director Christopher Nolan’s Batman sequel, The Dark Knight.

Back From The Grave!

“What Heath brought to The Joker is difficult to describe,” says Nolan. “There’s an extraordinary intensity to it and he’s absolutely terrifying.”

“We wanted him to represent pure, unadulterated evil,” he says, “and I needed a phenomenal actor, but he also had to be someone unafraid of taking on such an iconic role. Heath created something entirely original. It’s stunning, captivating. It’s going to blow people away.”

“The Joker is terrifying because there appears no rhyme or reason for what he does; he’s just a force of nature,” says Nolan. “With Two-Face, you see his transformation and you understand where his anger and his grief come from.”

Christian Bale is the new Batman in The Dark Night. The Reviews are in and this could well be the BlockBuster Hit Movie of the Summer.

Christian Bale Interview With Matt Lauer

Did the role of The Joker play a part in Heath Ledger’s downward spiral into Drugs, Depression and eventual prescription Drug Overdose at age 28. Speculation is there will be a posthumous Oscar Nomination for Ledger.

Marc Lee, The Daily Telegraph: The Dark Knight has plenty of high-speed, maximum-volume action sequences, but it is also one of the most intelligent big-budget Hollywood movies of recent times; and no sympathy vote is required for a cinematic creation as accomplished as Ledger’s deranged, demonic Lord of Chaos. It is a genuinely unsettling, brilliantly nuanced portrait of evil.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have a new Baby Girl!They might have their day’s mixed up, but no matter. from now on, they’ll have a little Sunday every day.

The Oscar-winning actress and her country-star husband welcomed a baby girl on Monday, then named her after the day before.

“Earlier this morning Nic gave birth to our beautiful baby girl, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban,” read the message posted on Urban’s Web site. “We want to thank everybody that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers. We feel very blessed and grateful that we can share this joy with all of you today.”

Following up on the her recent Crack Bust, Oscar winner Tatum O’Neal pleaded guilty on Wednesday to disorderly conduct stemming from her drug arrest in June when she was caught buying crack cocaine from a homeless street vendor on the night of June 1, three blocks from her home.

O’Neal, 44, was ordered to attend two half-day drug treatment sessions and to pay a $95 fee, court officials said. She Got Off Easy!

Oh well live and learn, maybe now she will have her Crack delivered by a Reputable Dealer. Say, how about Amy Winehouse’s Dealer, he needs the business while Amy is in Rehab!
