Jennifer Lopez

As the new Batman flick, The Dark Knight, is getting ready to be released, a lot of the excitement for the film is overshadowed by the sadness of Heath Ledger‘s death. Heath, who reportedly gives a stunning performance as the Caped Crusader’s nemesis, The Joker, left quite an impact on the movie’s other star, Christian Bale.

“I want to talk about Heath,” Christian told the new issue of Parade. “When you miss somebody, you want to speak about him.”

“He was a unique character, a very infectious character. He was a good man, and I was glad to have spent time with him. He was somebody who I’d been seeing on a daily basis for months. It takes a long time to accept that someone’s gone, when all body and mind are telling you that this is somebody you will know for a great deal of time. He was something of a kindred spirit to myself.”

The actor says that he feels the need to express his admiration for his late co-star, particularly for those that Heath has left behind.

“Much of it has to do with my respect for his daughter, whom he loved so dearly and whom he would talk about so often. For me, that is of incredible importance.”

I’m still so sad about this, and I want to see the movie, but I feel like it might be hard to concentrate on the film and not on Heath. I might have to wait for the DVD. Are you going?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie just keep on giving.

The supercouple’s charity, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, has just donated $1 million to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which will aid American and Iraqi children suffering from the war.

“These educational support programs for children of conflict are the best way to help them heal,” Angie said.

The cool mil will be split down the middle – $500,000 for the Armed Service YMCA Operation Hero Program, which helps educate and emotionally support children of military personnel serving in Iraq, and $500,000 will go to groups dealing with Iraqi women and children, such as Women for Women International, The International Rescue Committee, and NineMillion.org.

“We hope to encourage others to give to these great organizations,” said Brad Pitt. 

These two are do-gooders at their best.

Our friends over at Popsugar.com scored the first photos of new mom Jennifer Lopez in a bikini!

Jen, hubby Marc Anthony, and the twins, Max and Emme, are currently hanging out in Tenerife, Spain, where the whole clan is spending some time soaking up the sun. Let me tell you, Jen looks pretty damn good for a girl who gave birth to two babies just a bit ago.

And, yes, if you’re wondering, her booty is still magnificent.

Check out the pics and let me know what you think of Jen’s body, those cutie babes, and, if you must, Marc.

Wow! Talk about the wheels falling off the bus.

Anne Hathaway‘s shady businessman ex Raffaello Follieri was in Federal court yesterday, and was charged with six counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering. The Feds said revealed that Raf tested positive for opiates during a test Tuesday morning.

Get this — his bail was set at $21 million!

Why so high? Well, the prosecution argued that Anne’s ex was a “con man” and a “high potential risk of flight,” who would flee the country and had the financial means to do so. He is being placed under home detention until he can come up with the cash. He is also facing up to 120 years in prison.

Not good. Like my mama always said, “You play, you pay.”

There she is! The newest member of the Spelling-McDermott clan.

Stella Doreen makes her tabloid debut on the cover of the new issue of OK!

Doesn’t she look exactly like her dad? It’s like his Dean‘s face on a dressed-up doll! Crazy!

Tori opens up to the mag, revealing that, although Stella wasn’t exactly planned, the actress and her hubby couldn’t be more thrilled with their “mistake”.

“I was on one pill and wasn’t feeling well, so I went off of it,” Tori said. “Two days later, the doctor put me on another, and on that one day, we conceived. It was meant to be!”

Apparently, she’s never heard the term “T.M.I.”

Anyway, Tori won’t be sacking those maternity dresses away in the attic, as Donna Martin can see giving Liam and Stella another sibling in the future.

“We like making babies,” Tori tells the mag. “Gosh, I always said I’d be happy having one of each, and I still maintain that. But I wouldn’t mind having three.”

What do you think of Stella?

Why TV Guide, why?

I have so many questions that need to be answered regarding the new issue of what is supposed to be a concise listing of what I should be watching on television.

1) Why would you have a “get-in-shape” issue? People read your mag because they don’t want to go to the gym — they want to sit on their couch, eating Cakesters, and watch bad reality TV.

2) Why would you put Audrina from The Hills on the cover? Other than her nice butt, girl really doesn’t have a lot to offer the American public. She actually says that she gets her good backside by wearing “heels when I vacuum.” Ah, such sound advice.

3) Does the world really need more of Mario Lopez? I still can’t figure out how he went from Saved By The Bell‘s A.C. Slater to the hottest commodity on television right now. Especially with quotes like, “I never feel awake unless I’m sweating.”

4) Why would we ever want to see these two together? It’s like annoyance overload. And how long before they start dating?

Please TV Guide, don’t fall prey to the pressures of the magazine industry. Go back to doing what you do best –telling us what to watch — and leave all the nakedy, oiled-up covers to the other publications — like Miley Cyrus‘ Vanity Fair.
