Anne Hathaway’s Glee Cameo

Oscar beauty Anne Hathaway has been reported to appear on Glee since December, and her cameo may now be further postponed until the third season.

E! Online’s Brad Falchuk says the Glee team is “trying to make it happen”.

“She’s got a pretty tight schedule,” Falchuk explained. “So we don’t know if it’s going to happen this season.”

In a character created by Hathaway herself, she will play Chris Colfer’s aunt, and will be a lesbian in the role. So for at least one episode, the show will actually have some straight men tuning in.

Ryan Murphy previously said of Hathaway’s cameo: “We love her.”

Who doesn’t? We can’t wait to see Hathaway Gleek out!

Anne Confirms She’ll Play Catwoman, Not Just Selina Kyle

Although we’ve known since mid-January that Anne Hathaway will play Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises, there remained some question as to whether we’ll see the character’s alter ego in director Christopher Nolan’s film. After all, the Warner Bros. press release didn’t mention the word “Catwoman.”

But in an appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s post-Oscar special , the actress seemed to confirm she’ll don the catsuit in the Warner Bros. movie. She said “Catwoman,” in any case — twice.

Giving Winfrey “the real story” about being asked to co-host this year’s Academy Awards ceremony, Hathaway said, “So the real story is, I was waiting to hear if I’d been cast as Catwoman. And my manager called me, and said ‘Are you sitting down?’ And I just go, ‘Oh, my God, here it comes.’ And she says ‘You’re about to hear something you will never hear again in your whole life.’ I’m like, ‘Okay.’ And she goes, ‘You’ve been asked to host the Oscars.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m Catwoman! … What? … Oh. Oh. Okay. What?’”

Hathaway will star opposite Academy Award winner Christian Bale and Tom Hardy in The Dark Knight Rises, which begins filming in April. We’re still awaiting confirmation on Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The film opens on July 20, 2012.

Daniel Craig Tipped For Lead Role in “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”

NEW YORK – ‘Quantum of Solace’ star Daniel Craig has reportedly been tipped for the lead role in the Hollywood adaptation of ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’.

According to TheWrap.com, the film is based on the first novel in the Millennium trilogy by the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson, reports the New York Daily News.

It is a crime thriller about a journalist, Mikael Blomkvist, searching for a missing girl with the aid of dragon-tattooed hacker Lisbeth Salander.

Adaptations of the three novels, ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’, ‘The Girl Who Played With Fire’, and ‘The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest’, have already been made in Larsson’s native Sweden, starring Michael Nyqvist as Blomkvist.

‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ has circulated around the indie circuit for some time in the States.

Brad Pitt was initially reported by various sources to be the top candidate for the Blomkvist role in the English adaptation, which IMDB reports is slated for release in 2012.

But TheWrap.com revealed ‘Dragon’ director David Fincher is more partial to casting the erstwhile 007 as his lead.

Fincher is slated to direct all three adaptations of the trilogy, and he and Craig, 42, are reportedly taking a meeting in Los Angeles within the next few days.

Hathaway Being Considered For Dragon Tattoo

A-list Hollywood actresses including Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley are reportedly being considered for the lead role in the remake of ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’.

Oscar-nominated ‘An Education’ star Carey Mulligan, ‘Juno’ actress Ellen Page as well as Natalie Portman are also keen to take on the lead role in the new version of the film, reported Contactmusic.

The film is based on the novel by Swedish author Stiegg Larsson and even ‘Twilight’ star Kristen Stewart is being considered as an option for the lead.

However, director David Fincher is unsure whether he wants to cast an established star or an unknown actress.

“David is not sure if he wants to go with an actress of any note or go with an unknown. David’s process is very specific and private. He’s looking for authenticity and a degree of fierceness and believability capable of delivering the intensity that the part on the page calls for,” said a source.

Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt is believed to have been offered the male lead in the film.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo – a Swedish version of which was released in cinemas earlier this year – is the first in a trilogy, followed by The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest.
