'Batman 3' Will Be Called 'The Dark Knight Rises'

Director Christopher Nolan adds that Riddler will not appear in third 'Batman' film.

In 2012, the Dark Knight will rise.

At long last, Christopher Nolan has revealed the title to his third "Batman" film. And as was the case with "The Dark Knight," the very mention of Batman himself is nowhere to be found. Instead, the critically acclaimed director of "Memento" and "Inception" will call his next film "The Dark Knight Rises."

Nolan confirmed the title in an interview with The Los Angeles Times, adding that the developing comic book adaptation will not have a role for the Riddler. The famous Batman rogue has long been considered a leading candidate to be the villain in "The Dark Knight Rises," with actors including Joseph Gordon-Levitt rumored for the part. But Nolan ended the debate with one rather definitive statement: "It won't be the Riddler."

In addition to confirming the title and removing one possible villain from the pool, Nolan stated that Warner Bros. executives have agreed with the director's desire to avoid 3-D for the third "Batman" film. Instead, "The Dark Knight Rises" will employ "high-definition approaches and IMAX cameras to strike out on a different cinematic path than the stereoscopic technology that, for better or worse, has become the dominant conversation in the blockbuster sector."

Avatar 2 and 3 Will See James Cameron Pick Up the 3D Camera Once More


While all seven of the 3DTV-owners worldwide await the release of the Avatar Blu-ray in 3D, 20th Century Fox has announced that James Cameron has already signed on to direct Avatar 2 and 3, out in 2014 and 2015.

It's a long wait, yes. He'll begin writing the films early next year supposedly, and will begin work on Avatar 2 at the end of the year. Avatar 2 should be released in cinemas December 2014, and Avatar 3 a year later, presumably just in time for the hungry parents' credit cards.

Actors, plots and other sort of details haven't been confirmed yet (I doubt even Cameron knows himself, if he hasn't started writing them yet), but Cameron did say that the films "will not back off the throttle of Avatar's visual and emotional horsepower, and will continue to explore its themes and characters, which touched the hearts of audiences in all cultures around the world."

I'm glad that's, err, settled it then.

Samsung Galaxy Tab hitting T-Mobile USA on November 10th, $400 on contract

America's number four carrier just landed a launch date for Samsung's Froyo-based Galaxy Tab, and sure enough, it'll be trotting out into the spotlight a full 24 hours before Verizon Wireless and four whole days prior to Sprint. Trouble is, T-Mob's not being kind enough to dole out a price tag, so there's no reasonable way for you to compare its offering against the competition. But hey, being first out of the gate, they can't hold out on us too much longer, eh?

Update: T-Mobile USA's official Galaxy Tab portal just went live, and guess what? You'll be shelling out $399.99 for this bad boy... on a two-year data contract. You'll also be responsible for a $35 activation fee and a $200 early termination charge should you soon realize just what you've gotten yourself into.

Shin Se Kyung shuts down homepage due to backlash


Actress Shin Se Kyung has shut down her Cyworld mini-homepage after news of her relationship with SHINee’s Jonghyun was reported to the public.

After both agencies confirmed their relationship, fans flooded her mini-homepage with hateful remarks. Surprisingly, a significant majority of fans have shown maturity by leaving comments such as: “Hateful replies will only make SHINee look bad” and “Let’s try to respect Jonghyun’s private life.”

Still, a portion of the fanclub refuse to listen to reason and left venomous messages: “Who do you think you are, hitting on him?” and “You xxx, you think you match Jonghyun?”

Shin Se Kyung eventually shut down her homepage on the afternoon of October 27th.

Justin Timberlake Cheated on Jessica Biel With Actress Olivia Munn

Justin Timberlake cheated on Jessica Biel with actress Olivia Munn during a three-day fling this past September, reports the new Us Weekly (on newsstands now).

Timberlake, 29, and Munn, 30, a Daily Show correspondent who stars in the upcoming NBC series Perfect Couples, first met at a Sept. 26 MySpace event.

After exchanging numbers, he "started chasing her immediately," says an insider.

Munn resisted his advances, telling him it was a no-go if he was still with Biel, 28, the source tells Us Weekly. But Timberlake "has been telling people it’s over with Jessica, even though "the reality is he's just doing it behind her back."

Believing he had left Biel and that her relationship with Timberlake might develop into something serious, Munn took him to her hotel, the Gansevoort Park Avenue NYC, Sept. 27 and 28, where "they were openly affectionate," the insider adds.

The insider tells Us the two "had amazing sex" that night.

Timberlake's rep strongly denies the allegations; Munn’s rep does not comment on her personal life.

$100 Maylong M-150 Android tablet now on sale at Walgreens


Once thought to be a gadget unicorn, the elusive sub-$100 is ready to make a splash at… Walgreens? In an interesting turn of events, it looks like Walgreens is indeed the first U.S. retailer to make a $99.99 Android tablet widely available. Built by personal navigation device (PND) maker Maylong, the M-150 is a 7-inch tablet with 256MB of RAM, microSD support and Wi-Fi connectivity. Of course sacrifices had to be made in order to reach the magic $99.99 price point. The tablet sports an 800 x 480-pixel resistive touchscreen display, so it uses a stylus for input. It also has a 400MHz processor and the now-ancient Android 1.6 operating system on board. As a tablet for less savvy users looking mainly for a light Web browsing tool and maybe a simple eBook reader, the Maylong M-150 could be just what the doctor ordered. Hit the jump for more specs and a link to order up this mysterious budget slate, which is only available online.

S.H.E. group mates praise Selina Jen's bravery

Taiwan pop trio S.H.E's Hebe Tien and Ella Chen returned to Taipei to visit their stricken group member Selina Jen at the Linkou branch of the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, reported Taiwan media.

Tien and Chen could not visit Jen earlier because they still had to perform shows in China but rushed back to Taiwan as soon as they finished.

However, when the pair reached the hospital, they milled around for an hour before mustering the courage to visit Jen.

"Before we went in, we were very nervous and had to hold back our tears.

"She is a real SHERO (heroine). When we first saw her, her wounds and her condition, we became very agitated and our emotions ran high," Tien told reporters, adding that their heart ached as Jen looked "different from before".

"But when we spoke to her, it was she who gave us confidence and encouraged us, telling us not to worry. She is a really brave and resilient woman."
