Without a shadow of a doubt - THE worst fight scene ever..

Despite rumours early in the week it seems speculation about Megan Fox being was to be the new Catwoman in the next Batman movie are somewhat incorrect or at least premature.

Bosses at Warner Bros. insist the project is yet to get underway - with no script as yet prepared, or casting decisions made.

Other names linked to a possible Catwoman role in recent months have included Angelina Jolie and Cher - Johnny Depp and Eddie Murphy have also been linked to the film.

A Warner Bros. spokesperson told people.com "It's rumour. It's not true. There is no script. There is no project to be cast in."

Sorry Bat fans - here's a pic of the lovely megan to cheer you up!

HEROES and Lost have topped the popularity poll - of illegal downloaders.

Heroes was the most popular illegal download this year, according to research firm Big Champagne.

Some 55 million people downloaded the show, while 51 million chose to access Lost.

Others in the Top 10 include other Anorak City favourites 24, Fringe and Prison Break.

And when it comes to movies, Watchmen was the top black download.

Nearly 17 million grabbed the Alan Moore anti-hero movie from leading torrent sites.

"Millions of television viewers now access free, unauthorised versions of favourite shows at least some of the time," says Eric Garland, chief executive of Big Champagne.

"This is a socially acceptable form of casual piracy - and it is replacing viewing hours."

Jason Isaacs' ice-cold steely stare has won him legions of Harry Potter fans who love his turn as the boy wizard's nemesis, Lucius Malfoy - a role in which he famously gets to don what he likes to call his blonde "Paris Hilton wig".

Isaacs will hang up his Hilton wig and say goodbye to the Malfoy dynasty for the last time after the two closing films. This will include a farewell to his fictional son, Draco Malfoy, played by Tom Felton, who has - ironically - become firm friends with Potter actor, Daniel Radcliffe, in real life.

"I find it unbearable, I'm absolutely dreading it," he says. "I'm such a sentimental old fool that even though I don't finish shooting until April, I already feel like they're playing 'Leaving On A Jet Plane' in my ear."

Battlestar Galactica star Jamie Bamber wants to be the next Hugh Grant.

The 36-year-old British actor starred as Lee 'Apollo' Adama in the sci-fi remake, but confessed to FHM Collections magazine that he would like to try rom-coms.

Jamie said: "I'd love to do a romantic comedy. Hugh Grant and Colin Firth are getting on a bit, there must be room for one coming up behind them?

"As a Brit in LA, you do Hugh Grant, or you go the other way and do Gary Oldman , that's it."

Utterly stupid, but bonkers enought to be worth a look...

Best news I have heard all day!

The Dark Knight film at the IMAX theater used four action scenes filmed with IMAX camers that expanded the action to fit the giant screen.

Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros are considering shooting the next Batman movie entirely using IMAX cameras.

Lauren Bacall has slammed vampire flick Twilight, saying that it doesn't compare to the classic horror films of the 1920s.

On her Twitter page, the veteran actress said she sat down with her grandchildren to watch the film and see what they were so excited about. "Yes, I saw Twilight - my granddaughter made me watch it, she said it was the greatest vampire film ever.

After the 'film' was over I wanted to smack her across her head with my shoe, but I do not want a (tell-all) book called Grannie Dearest written on me when I die.

So instead I gave her a DVD of Murnau's 1922 masterpiece Nosferatu and told her, 'Now that's a vampire film!' And that goes for all of you! Watch Nosferatu instead!"
