Now that's a headline The British Sun proclaims that, "Britney Spears beds her minder." Which sounds so much more salacious than "Britney canoodles with bodyguard" or "Britney Spears gets it on with another potential gold-digger." According to the ever-lurking source, “He is her perfect type. She loves guys who work out and he is in great shape from his days serving in the Israeli Army."  All the best. In other Britney news, her father has had his conservatorship of her assets extended until December. Us.

What's up? Pre-nup! The NY Daily News has the dirt on A-Rod's counter-filing to his wife Cynthia's divorce suit. He wants the pre-nup enforced and furthermore, "Cynthia's allegations that he 'emotionally abandoned his wife and children' and that the pair broke up because of his 'extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct' are 'immaterial and impertinent and should be stricken'."  Florida has a no-fault divorce law, so he kinda has a point. Doesn't matter who may have done what. Cough ... Madonna ... cough.

Let the Batman 3 casting speculation run completely amok MTV in the UK says my special sweetheart Johnny Depp is rumoured to be rumoured to be interested in playing the Riddler, while the greatest mother of all time, Angelina Jolie rumouredly has her sights set on Catwoman and fashion icon Phillip Seymour Hoffman, if we are to believe rumours, could find himself cast as the Penquin.

Venom, but no Topher? The Hollywood Reporter says there's a Spider-Man spinoff being planned, centering on the villanous Venom. Except Topher Grace, who played the character in the last Spider-Man installment isn't considered someone who "can carry a tentpole picture."

Tropic Thunder getting ready to rule the world Mike Sampson at Joblo.com has a raving review of what is clearly shaping up to be the funniest movie of all time. Or at least of August. It's only scoring 50 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes so far. But never mind that. The 13th can't come quick enough.

Deep as Riddler? Check.

Jolie as a double-dealing, potential romance for Bruce/Batman that gets spectacularly killed before the movie runs its course? Check.

Hoffman? Penguin? Enh. Maybe as some sort of gangster, but not like, well, the stupid Penguin of the cartoons, comics, and other movie.

I wish to state publically that I am not now, nor ever have been a bodyguard for Britney Spears which reinforces my status as being STD free.

Thank you - now back to our regular programming...
