Cycling legend Lance Armstrong has privately confirmed speculation that Jake Gyllenhaal will portray him in a biopic.He told sources at ESPN that Matthew McConaughey had been up to play the part, but lost out to Gyllenhaal."He said that’s why he has been spending so much time with them both this summer," said the source.Armstrong, who won the Tour de France a record seven times, hosted ESPN’s ESPY Awards last month.

Now that the role of Joker is unofficially in the hands of Heath Ledger, rumors are heating up regarding the other major baddie in Christopher Nolan’s Untitled Batman Begins Sequel. Harvey Dent, Gotham’s young assistant D.A. ultimately transforms into one of Batman’s greatest villains — Two Face. Word is Dent will not become Two Face until the third film, making it so whoever signs up for the role must do so for at least two films.So far, a ton of names have been mentioned: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Josh Lucas and Jake Gyllenhaal, to name a few. Personally, I think it would be hilarious if Gyllenhaal nabbed the role — Brokeback Batman, anyone? The latest name being circulated around the Bat-cave is that of Crash star and Mr. Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe. Ugh. Actually, make that a double ugh.

At least Katie Holmes won’t be in it?
