How poetic!

During a recent interview, Anne Hathaway had a lot to say about The Dark Knight Rises!

Here are some HIGHlights:

OMG!! JUICE!!

We couldn't believe it either, but someone got a hold of Lindsay Lohan's dear diary and the secrets are just flooding like word vomit!

Insider her inner thoughts, she writes all about her love for Heath Ledger.

Wow. She's never really discussed this in this much detail.

Very thoughtful, powerful words.

Naomi Watts recently opened up about her two-year relationship with the late Heath Ledger, which ended in 2004, four years before his death, and describes their time together as something she looks back upon very fondly.

She explains:

We still miss him. So much.

Heath Ledger's "Tree House" just went up for sale for a cool

We can't believe it's almost been four years since the tragic death of Heath Ledger.

When he died, it was like the world stopped a little bit.

Not only did he leave behind close friends and family, he also left behind Michelle Williams, his ex-fiance, and their daughter, Matilda Rose.

After his death, Michelle didn't address it with the public. She couldn't. It was too hard.

But now, she's finally opening up, really opening up, on the grieving period and how she manages to cope til this day.

The talented actress tells the October issue of Vogue:

Somebody in the media world must have put up the Bat Signal, because The Dark Knight Rises updates keep on comin'!

Over the weekend, we got a first full length look at Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in the new Batman film, and now we're getting MORE updates on Ms. Selina Kyle.

Last week, we also saw another image of Catwoman (above) which we thought was interesting, and now we're hearing that the story behind the photo has to do with Anne's character stealing the "Batpod" vehicle.

SPOILER ALERT:

Inneresting!

In celebration of the tenth anniversary of the release of Moulin Rouge, Baz Luhrman sat down for an in-depth interview about the film and revealed some shocking details about which stars auditioned for the lead roles - and which were really close to landing them!

Although we can't imagine Christian and Satine being played by anyone else other than Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, at least for the male lead, Ewan had some hefty competition. Baz reveals that Brokeback Mountain co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger both were front-runners for the part at one point. Baz explains:

"Dear Heath Ledger, [he had] incredible scenes with Nicole. Because at one stage, Christian [the role that went to McGregor] was very young, he was a younger guy, and then I was aware of Ewan but I didn't know if he could sing… [And] Jake should do a musical. He's a wonderful actor, but [he has a] great voice, tremendous voice. He sang some [Stephen] Sondheim for me, complicated singing, great voice. When is he going to guest on 'Glee?' "

We don't know! When, Ryan Murphy, WHEN?! LOLZ!

As for the role of Satine, there was no question for Baz that Nicole was the right choice, but for a time, Baz considered giving a part to Courtney Love, a woman he calls "wild and unpredictable and a great performer." No, she wouldn't have gotten the lead, but he did want to find a place for her, espcially after she so graciously offered him the rights to Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. In the end though, she was kept behind-the-scenes.

Yeah, that was probably for the best. We don't know how spectacular, spectacular she would've been under the pressure of filming a major motion picture. But Heath…now that would've been interesting. It's hard to picture, but if there's an audition tape flying around, we'd love to see it!

And unfortunately, it remains untouched.

Michelle Williams and her daughter Matilda have been very strong after the death of Heath Ledger in 2008. But they have rebuilt their lives in the wake of their personal tragedy.

She said:

"Obviously, for me and for [Matilda], there's a hole in our life.

Of course the natural inclination is to want to fill it and make it disappear but what I've come to recently is that it's impossible. Nothing will fit in that hole because what we want back we can't get, which is this one person. I'm not going to rush anything and scamper around like a mad person and make myself crazy. I'm trying to be respectful of the absence. I'm not trying to fill it up. It is what it is.

I didn't work for a year. I needed to gather myself and put my life back together. I had to be dragged back to work, basically, because I finally had my life in some kind of order, and I didn't know what would happen if I introduced work into it.

My poor mom really wants me to meet someone. I think she wanted to believe the Ryan Gosling rumor more than anybody.

The idea that you can get everything you want in one person is destructive. And maybe when you accept that the number is closer to 50 or 60 or 70 percent, that's when you can start to make some progress in choosing the right person.

I don't want to make a mistake that big, and that saddens me, because it's harder to let yourself go. I can inflict any kind of injury on myself, but with my daughter, that's not an option."

Wow. She is so wise and courageous.

So much class! We hope she continues to stay strong.
