As you know, the upcoming movie The Dark Knight will feature Batman battling it out with the Joker and Two Face.

The original plan was to have the Joker, played by Heath Ledger, return for the next film.

However, given that after his death they more than likely won't recast for the role, some changes have been made and the next villain has been revealed.

If another Batman flick is made, he will then be going up against the Riddler.

The last Riddler was played by Jim Carrey in Batman Forever, though no word on if he'll return. More likely than not - he won't.

Actor Gary Oldman, who plays Lt James Gordon, says of casting choices for the next film, "I don't see why not. I mean, they did it with Katie Holmes' character. I understand that this is a different circumstance, but I think another actor could do the job. I think Heath would want another actor to do the job. Maybe we don't need the Joker. Because we'll have The Riddler."

Katie's character, Rachel Dawes, will now be played by Maggie Gyllenhaal. You know Katie is too "big" now for a Batman movie.

We'll have to watch The Dark Knight first before we even consider watching the next film….though this one is getting GREAT reviews!

Looks like being married to Tom Cruise is doing nothing for Katie Holmes' 'career'.

According to new reports, Broadway insiders say that early signs reveal that there's no public interest in seeing Katie on the Great White Way as Ann Deever in All My Sons.

Sources involved in the production are reportedly beginning to fret that ticket sales aren't going to be as strong as they'd hoped.

Some people say Katie should get naked on stage, like the ex-Mrs. Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, in the successful Broadway run of The Blue Room.

Sounds like a good idea to us…that would definitely help generate interest!

Behind the scenes, the All My Sons cast and crew are buzzing about the confidentiality agreement they've all been forced to sign. Looks like Katie's Scientology handlers don't want anything crazy to get out!

The report also says that Tom Cruise has been 'putting out feelers to theater producers' about doing a Broadway play, too.

Cruise is asserted to be in, 'career recovery, which usually means a visit to Broadway at some point.'

We agree with that point!

Bad news for self-loving Mario Lopez!

Turns out Katie Holmes wears the pants around Broadway.

Mrs. Tom Cruise is set to make her Broadway debut this September in All My Sons.

However, in order to make that happen and offset the cost of having her star in it, they're going to need to use the same theater that currently shows A Chorus Line.

An insider reveals, “Katie wouldn’t sign a long-term agreement with her show, which is why it’s the limited run that it is. They had to figure out how to make more money with the time they had with her.”

So the solution was to move to a musical theater.

The insider adds, “Musical theaters have more seats than a traditional playhouse, so they can sell more tickets each week. That’s how the show ended up at the Schoenfeld Theater (where “Chorus Line” runs). Because of the “All My Sons” rehearsal schedule, they had to cut Mario Lopez’s run in “A Chorus Line.”

As for Lopez, the source says, “He might be People’s hottest bachelor, but he’s pissed. Let’s face it, he doesn’t have much going on right now.”

Burn!

Let's hope Katie's show doesn't suck too hard.

But it probably will!

TomKat and Suri Cruise went out to din din in Beverly Hills on Friday night.

The celebutards hit E Baldi Restaurant and had not one but TWO police escorts.

Nice to see our taxpayer money wasted like that!

The rumors have been confirmed!

Katie Holmes will make her Broadway debut in a production of Arthur Miller's All My Sons.

Holmes, a Bway novice, will luckily be surrounded by Great White Way vets.

The other confirmed cast members are John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest and super hottie Patrick Wilson.

Theater and performance dates are TBD.

Sadly, we're sure Tommy boy won't let Katie independently enjoy this experience.

Cruise (or some Scientology handler) will most likely be by her side at all times!

Where were Nicole Kidman's kids this past weekend????

They were with their mom, Katie Holmes!

Connor & Isabella Cruise attended David Beckham's soccer game in Los Angeles this past weekend with dad Tom and mother Katie.

Nicole, of course, was out of the picture.

Kidman has said in interviews that her children call her "Nicole" and not mom.

Holmes, on the other hand, has said that Connor & Isabella call her "mom."

Thankfully, Nicole's gonna have her own baby with Keith Urban any minute now.

Hopefully she'll spend more time with it than she does her other kids!

TomKat looked okay, we guess at the Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC on Monday night.

Nothing special, though.

They should have brought Suri, the ultimate accessory!

She finally sees the sunlight!

While she spends most of her days trapped in that little cellar underneath TomKat's staircase, little Suri Cruise finally came outside the house, Saturday in NYC.

The baby, wrapped in her magical Scientology blanket, looks so ovah this shit.

We find the timing of her reapperance in public quite….convenient.

Tom makes another appearance on Oprah tomorrow, Monday, and Suri makes a cameo towards the end of the show.

Pimp your baby out!
