It's time we did a little post on bullshit. Particularly the bullshit of British tabloids. Now we know truth and the British tabloids are uncomfortable bedfellows but few people associate the British gutter press with spreading lies about movies.
This week the Telegraph is reporting that:
Cher has been lined up to star in the next Batman movie, it has been claimed.
The 62-year-old singer and actress is reported to be in talks to play Catwoman opposite Christian Bale in the third Batman film from British director Christopher Nolan. The Oscar-winner will join a cast that includes Johnny Depp as The Riddler as she plays the whip-carrying burglar.
Even though
"It was only ten days ago that Variety reported WB had made Chris Nolan an offer, and there's still no word on whether he's accepted" (Filmdrunk).
Still that's not stopping them from saying:
A studio executive said: "Cher is Nolan's first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years.
Filming of the new Batman instalment, provisionally entitled The Caped Crusader, is due to begin in Vancouver early next year.
"The new Catwoman will be the absolute opposite of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry's purring creations.
This is the biggest load of bullshit since my pet bull shitted last week. They literally just made this up from scratch. And they do it regularly. And people believe this stuff. People who aren't trawling the internet all day like us, don't realise that not a single reputable site has reported anything about Nolan signing on, a title being decided upon, The Riddler or The Catwoman being the villains, or Depp having anything to do with the project. Some lame, fanboy sites have lost the run of themselves and have speculated on rumours but how would any of these things be true if Nolan hasn't even signed on yet?
The primarily British gutter press will report anything claiming the info came from 'a source'. Excuse me while I turn to my little brother with tourettes and ask him what he thinks of the upcoming Harry Potter Movie. "Bollox" he says. "Shit!" he exclaims.
A source claimed today that the new Harry Potter movie has been moved back, not for financial and marketing reasons but because they are worried about the quality of the film. Re-shoots may even be a possibility. An insider said the current cut was {expletive deleted} and totally {expletive deleted} The Movie Watchmen

Cher is hot!
Who knew? I'd take her as Catwoman if we had a time machine.
I see this ridiculous news story has been picked up by loads of retarded gossip sights like entertainment.ie. Fair enough they filed it under gossip but come on, leave gossip to celeb lifestyles and leave movie news to movie news. i.e. reliable and informative.
A friend even reported the story back to me as if he heard it was fact. Aaahh!
