When Anne Hathaway first auditioned for the role of Selina Kyle / Catwoman in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, she actually thought she was up for the part of Harley Quinn. Or anyone other than the character Michelle Pfeiffer and several actresses before her had already put their stamp on.

Once she realized what was at stake, it must have immediately clicked that at some point in the film, her character would be burglarizing someone. Yet the only shots of Catwoman released to the media over the past several months have shown her either riding the Bat Bike or standing around looking sexy.

In this latest batch of The Dark Knight Rises images from the pages of the new Summer Movie Guide edition of Entertainment Weekly, Catwoman can be seen peeking over her shoulder with a cracked open empty safe in front of her. That’s the Catwoman we all know and love. The one who rips off first and kisses and tells later. Though I suspect she expected that safe to not be empty.

Elsewhere in the images you can see Batman (Christian Bale) using an iPad-like device to control something, Bane (Tom Hardy) and his thugs taking it to Gotham’s version of Wall Street, Selina Kyle and Bruce Wayne sharing a dance, Bruce Wayne chatting with Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) while reading the Gotham Newspaper (wouldn’t he use his iPad instead?), and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as on alert beat cop John Blake.

July 20 is when The Dark Knight Rises will take theaters by storm, threatening every opening day and weekend record there is.

Rather than eating the recommended dietary allowance of around 2,000 calories a day, Anne is consuming fewer than 500

Everybody’s seems to be talking about Hunger Games… and it’s probably no different at Anne Hathaway’s house.

But it won’t be the blockbuster film the Oscar-nominated actress is on about, it’ll be the extreme “two apples a day” crash diet she’s started for her part as Fantine in Les Miserables.

Anne has been ordered by movie execs to shed 16lb in less than 20 days so director Tom Hooper can shoot the tragic character’s death bed scenes.

The Devil Wears Prada star, 29, is currently a size 10, which has been fine for shooting scenes before single mum and prostitute Fantine falls gravely ill.

Now, rather than eating the recommended dietary allowance of around 2,000 calories a day, Anne is consuming fewer than 500.

By the end of filming she will be an emaciated size six. My film set source says: “Anne is playing a destitute factory worker-come-lady of the night.

“Unfortunately, she only has 15 to 20 days to lose as much weight as possible – up to a stone-and-a-half – because she’s been filming the scenes showing her fit and healthy, almost slightly chubby.

“It’s not ideal but, as with any high-budget movie, there are strict time constraints.

“Producers have assigned her a personal trainer and she is literally eating nothing more than a couple of apples a day, and some protein – mainly in the form of a shake.

“Anne knows the risk of such an extreme diet and will undergo weekly medicals to make sure everything is still functioning as it should do.”

The movie is based on the hit West End musical and also stars hunks Eddie Redmayne, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe. The cast began filming early this month.

It’s due to hit cinemas in December, so Anne’ll have time to get her natural shape back for the premiere…

IT’S already proved a bolthole for celebrities Sarah Jessica Parker and Daniel Day Lewis but now Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway has revealed she would like to move to Ireland.

Hathaway (29) revealed that her Irish ancestry has always been important to her and she has been tracing her heritage to Cork and Donegal.

The newly-engaged star added that she still harbours hopes of living in Ireland when her career is fully established in the States.

“On my father’s side, we have relatives all over Cork and Donegal. Ireland is such an amazing country, and I have this little dream in the back of my head that someday I’ll end up living there,” she revealed.

Hathaway, who shot Becoming Jane on location in Ireland in 2007, added that she would enjoy taking a step back from Hollywood and letting the roles come to her for a change.
