Seriously? OMG! WTF?

A man is killed by a mysterious creature — his body drained of blood. A woman is savagely attacked by a ferocious beast — her jugular ripped out. Bat wings flutter across the moon and the howl of a wolf echoes through the streets, for the creatures of the night have risen from the grave, and humanity's only salvation is the combined might of The Last Son of Krypton and The Dark Knight Detective. Blood will run red when Superman and Batman face off against vampires and werewolves for the fate of the entire DCU!

Brandon Routh did a pretty bang-up job saving the world last time, so…he’s getting at least one more chance to do it again. The Superman Returns star told E! Online Thursday that he’ll be teaming up again with director Bryan Singer for a sequel due out sometime in 2009. "Well, they’ve publicized that Bryan had finished his deal, which was the lynchpin, I think, in the whole talk about a sequel, so everything looks to be heading that way," Routh said at the DVD and video game launch party for the film that turned the former soap opera actor into a brand name. "I’m certainly excited to do another one. I don’t think we’ll start for awhile since we have a 2009 release, but I’m excited about the potential.” In preparing for the role the first time around, Routh said that he wanted to make sure his 21st-century Superman was both a character of his own creation and an homage to the actors who have suited up before him. "I certainly looked at Christopher Reeve’s performance because he was my Superman, and I knew Superman from him and from watching him many, many times," the 27-year-old Iowa native said. "So definitely I took that energy and the spirit that he has from the character, because it was important that there be a familiar feeling for fans, for audiences to make that transition from watching him to watching this new person. "I definitely was aware of that. But I just knew within myself what it was I wanted to do—how I wanted to move, how I wanted to fly, speak, all of those things." Singer inked a deal with Warner Bros. late last month to produce and direct a sequel.

E!

I wonder why it is taking so long to release the next one? 

As America’s favourite super hero, Superman is the epitomy of manliness. But it appears the actor drafted in to play Clark Kent in the new movie sequel is more concerned with his make-up than saving the world.American star Brandon Routh was left furious this week after he complained the make-up used on his face at a press conference made him look pale, artificial and ‘a bit wimpy’.The actor became annoyed when he saw pictures of himself posing up next to his Lois Lane, Kate Bosworth, who, he said, looked much more natural and sunkissed.After the Superman Returns press conference at London’s Dorchester Hotel on Wednesday afternoon, Routh’s aides had new darker foundation flown in for him to use in time for last night’s premiere in Leicester Square."To say that Brandon was livid with his make-up is an understatement," said an aide."The problem arose when he posed for photographs beside his co-star Kate Bosworth – who has a fantastic tan – and he realised that he looked pale and artificial in comparison."Basically there was a problem with the shade of his tinted moisturiser – it was slightly lighter than his natural skin tone – so he asked for an expensive fake tan moisturiser to be used instead."A waterproof, gradual build one which develops over time was eventually found and has given him a natural, all-over golden glow."This is Brandon’s first major movie premiere and in front of thousands of screaming fans, it is understandable that he wanted to look like a tanned, Adonis of a superhero and not a pale-skinned wimp."In stark contrast to his all-action counterpart, Routh refused to tackle the rather embarrassing topic head-on. Instead, he ordered his personal assistant to do it for him. So, within minutes the film company’s specialist make-up artist had been hauled in and instructed to make Routh more tanned.

Looking at the picture above, I can’t say I blame him. Do you? 

Superman Returns star Kate Bosworth was spared having to wear uncomfortable contact lenses throughout the making of the movie because director Bryan Singer decided her odd eyes were perfect for her role as Lois Lane. The actress has one brown and one blue eye, which fascinated the movie-maker.She says, "One of the first things I had to do was a screen test to see if Bryan Singer wanted to keep them the way they are, and he decided that he wanted to. So now the Lois Lane dolls have different colour eyes, which is pretty strange. The doll doesn’t really look like me at all, but the eyes are very distinct."

LET’S hope Matthew Perry’s new sitcom, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," is a hit – because Hollywood’s hottest TV producer, Darren Star, won’t ever work with him after the run-in the two had this week at a Los Angeles movie theater.

According to several sources, Star arrived at the AMC Century 14 in Century City the other night with a close friend and the friend’s 11-year-old niece and 15-year-old nephew to see "Superman Returns."

"Everyone was very excited," one source said. "Darren didn’t want to see the movie at the premiere or screening – he explicitly wanted to see it on opening night as a paying customer. It is a magical experience."

After buying tickets, Star’s group found four seats together, "but they had tape over them, as if they were reserved – like they do at premieres," we’re told. "But movie theaters do not reserve seats, and this was not a premiere, so Darren lifted the tape and his group sat down."

Moments later, a theater employee came up to the "Sex and the City" creator and said, "You can’t sit here. These seats are reserved." When Star objected, the employee threatened to call security, prompting Star to ask, "Who are they reserved for?"

The employee said, "Matthew Perry." Star replied: "Well, you tell Mathew Perry that Darren Star is sitting in his seats because I got here first and this is not a premiere or a screening." The employee shuffled off and came back moments later saying, "Matthew Perry would like to speak with you."

Another eyewitness said: "Perry was in the hallway outside of the theater with a group of three adults, looking very annoyed. When Darren got there, he demanded to know why Darren was in his seats."

After the two bickered for a bit, Star finally said, "Look, I am here with a friend and two children. Do you really want us to move?" Perry snipped: "Yes."

Star’s group moved, but he’s said to be still fuming over the incident.

Star declined comment. Perry, via his rep said, "I really enjoyed the movie, although it is slightly implausible that a man can fly." A customer service manager for the theater said, "No, we don’t reserve seats. Not even for celebrities."

One Hollywood insider laughed: "Matthew Perry thinks he is so special, he has to call up and reserve his seats? I mean, come on – ‘Friends’ has been off the air for years now."
