#6 #Actors Who Could've Easily Been The Next #Batman























Unlike the Spiderman films, keeping with tradition is what Warner Bros Studios insists on. They tend to stick within the older establishment when it comes to the Batman films. by handing Ben Affleck the roll of Batman in the next "Man of Steele" Movie this further solidifies that tradition. Though Ben is a solid choice we thought we would share with you, six actors we believe would've easily taken the Batman character to new heights. One of them is a total wildcard, as picking him would shift the needle for the iconic character. Here now are the six actors we think would've also been solid choices to play Batman.



JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT: We were convinced that JGL would've been the next Batman based on how "Rise of The Dark Knight" ended. But there is still hope that he will one day slip into the legendary roll in the footsteps of some of Hollywood's best. Next time we guess.







ZAC EFRON: Zac has really grown over the years as an actor and is among Hollywood's fast rising stars. Zac spent most of the 2000s shaking the Disney image that made him the star he is today and it has been a successful transition. We would've love to have seen him in the roll of Batman. With his superhero physique and solid female following, Efron as Batman would've introduced the franchise to a new and influential audience.




RYAN GOSLING: Ryan would've killed as Batman. He would bring a whole new energy to the character with his cool calm demeanor. Gosling is known to take on his characters by mentally and physically becoming them. He easily fits the bill of what Warner Bros. studio goes for when picking the man to play one of their biggest characters. With a solid following among young movie goers and the independent film crowd, Gosling would've re-introduce the character and movie to that audience giving the franchise some influence which it has been lacking with that demo.


CHRIS PINE: Chris knows a thing or two about saving lives in movies. He's already part of the huge Startrek franchise staring as Kirk, so he would've hit the ground running as Batman. He is another one we wont cross of any list to eventually take on the roll in the future.








CHRIS EVANS: The other Chris on our list. So he's actually played superheroes before. As Captain America and as Torch in The Fantastic Four . So he has the most experience in that area which we think would automatically put him on some secret list of future Batman stars kept in the desk drawer of some big shot studio exec. Chris is witty and physically capable of pulling off most of his own stunts. He bulked up to play Captain America and we think a more bulked up Batman would give the character a little more superheroness.


BORIS KODJOE: OK so for many of you, you can't see Boris in this roll. But that is just it. He is our wildcard on this list. Boris may not have a blockbuster under his belt, but this is what makes him so unique, along with the fact that he would be the first black actor to take on the roll of Batman. Putting him in the suit would revive the interest of black movie goers in the Batman franchise.  It would also shake up a casting pattern which has made the roll a white only roll. Boris playing Batman would also be the biggest shot in the arm his career could get, by introducing this budding actor to the world.

#MariahCarey And #NickiMinaj Flee #AmericanIdol

With the show's ratings at an all time high and the last original judge Randy Jackson finally packing it in, we didn't think American Idol could take another hit. But unfortunately, it took two more hits when both Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj whose scripted on and off air beef helped to keep some interest in the show, also packed it in. Both divas made their announcements on Twitter.

Mariah Carey through her PR reps said: "W/ global success of “#Beautiful” (#1 in 30+ countries so far) @MariahCarey confirms world tour & says goodbye 2 Idol mariahcarey.com"

Nicki Minaj tweeted: Thank you American Idol for a life changing experience! Wouldn't trade it for the world! Time to focus on the Music!!! Mmmuuuaahhh!!!

What's next for the show which now only has Ryan Seacrest left from the original bunch? No one knows other than the fact that they will roll out new judges. Seacrest has already hinted that he is only good for one more season.

Grandpa #Bieber Broke?

Pop prince Justin Bieber has an estimated net worth of over $100 million and lives a pretty luxurious life. Private planes, multiple homes, cars, designer clothes and everything else that goes with  a big bank account. He shares this with his mom, and his grandparents (his mother's parents), oh yeah and his moocher friends who are always crashing his cars. However, there are some in Justin's life who aren't getting a taste of the good life by way of his hard work. The pop star's grandpa on his dad's side, is living in poverty and is breaking his silence on his daily financial struggles.
George Bieber said Justin hasn’t come to his house for a visit in years and that the only gifts he’s received from his mega-rich grandson are a TV and a bit of Christmas money.
“It does make me sad, as right now our life is pretty desperate,” said George Bieber at his home in Mitchell, Ontario.

“I can’t work due to illness, so there is barely any money coming into the house and we only just about get by,” the grandfather said. “His grandma has a bad back, too, but works like a dog hauling huge bags of paint powder 40 hours a week.”

Young Miley in 2000
Miley Cyrus wasn't going to be a Disney princess forever. In fact she started breaking out from the whole Disney image right before the end of her hit show Hannah Montana. Now at the age of 20, Miley Cyrus commands front rows during New York Fashion Week and is a catch for major celebrity and high fashion publications. Here now is a look at Miley over the years as she morphed from Disney kid to fashion muse.

Tyler The Creator Offers up "Wolf" And More

The man who knew before the world that Frank Ocean was gay Tyler the Creator is quietly building a multifaceted empire on his own back, and those outside the "POPNORM" better take notice.
For the last three or so years he’s been one of hip-hop’s true originals, a skateboarding foul mouth with an ear for soft jazz and an eye for infectious iconography. Odd Future — the Los Angeles crew, the record label, the clothing company, the TV show — has essentially been built on his back. The stoic R&B sensualist Frank Ocean is part of Odd Future, the mesmerizing rapper Earl Sweatshirt is part of Odd Future, and so are many others, but without Tyler’s grab bag of reference points as glue the center wouldn’t hold.

Lil Wayne's “I Am Not a Human Being II” Stalls at Number Two Behind Justin Timberlake

The original pop star Justin (Timberlake) continues to hold his crown as the chart king this week, holding off new releases from heavy hitters like Lil Wayne who's new CD “I Am Not a Human Being II” charted at number two just behind Timberlake's “The 20/20 Experience” .
The vocalist’s RCA album took the pinnacle for a second week with a tally of 318,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan data for the week ending March 31. That represented a plunge of 67% from the album’s 968,000-unit debut-week total, the best single-frame score of 2013 to date.
With cumulative sales of 1.3 million to its credit, Timberlake’s set became the first million-seller of the year.

Lil Wayne’s “I Am Not a Human Being II” (Cash Money) rolled in at No. 2 with a 217,000-unit bow. The first “Human Being” arrived at No. 2 in 2010 as a digital download and subsequently ascended to No. 1 behind a CD release. Sales of the sequel were no doubt fueled by media coverage of Wayne’s seizure scare last month; the rap star has since declared that he is suffering from epilepsy.

STUNNED BY DRE:
A suspicious fire ripped through a  wing at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta yesterday, but according to fire officials, the structure of the wing that was engulfed in flames is still in good shape.
There were no reports of injuries from the blaze that began shortly before 9 p.m. Tuesday and burned through the building's exterior surface, Atlanta Fire Capt. Jolyon Bundrige said.
"It was all in flames," Dorothy Ware, who lives in a high-rise apartment next door to the studio complex, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution."The building started popping. Whatever the fire was hitting, was blowing up. There were plenty of sparks coming over here where we are."

Ryan Seacrest Will Go Down With The American Idol Ship for $15 Million

STUNNED BY DRE:
Ryan Seacrest has been with American Idol since its launch a decade ago and he plans to remain with the talent search program until it goes off the air, or so it seems.
Seacrest has hosted the show since its launch in 2002 and though the judging panel has undergone a series of overhauls over the past four seasons, the genial entrepreneur has been the one constant in the mix. "Ryan is one of a kind," said Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment at Fox. "His ability to engage the viewers, keep the contestants at ease during intense moments and adapt to any situation, especially during the live shows, solidifies him as the absolute best in the business. He is an integral part of why 'American Idol' is a true phenomenon, and we can't imagine doing this show without him."

Legendary TV Man Dick Clark is Dead

STUNNED BY DRE
Dick Clark has been at the center of American culture for decades. He introduced us all to many of our favorite programs on television. From American Bandstand,to The American Music Awards to the rocking New Years Eve event. He leaves behind a legacy that spans a lifetime which some say will never be matched.
Clark was born and raised in Mount Vernon, New York, the son of Julia Fuller Clark and Richard Augustus Clark. His only sibling, older brother Bradley, was killed in World War II. His career in show business began in 1945 when he started working in the mailroom of WRUN, a radio station owned by his uncle and managed by his father in Utica, New York. Clark was soon promoted to weatherman and news announcer. Clark suffered a significant stroke in late 2004. With speech ability still impaired, Clark returned to his New Year's Rockin' Eve show on December 31, 2005/January 1, 2006. Subsequently, he appeared at the Emmy Awards on August 27, 2006, and every New Year's Rockin' Eve show through the 2011/2012 show.

STUNNED BY DRE

Janet Jackson Tells Simon Cowell No! So Stun Came up With Some Suggestions For New Female X-Factor Judges

STUNNED BY DRE
Since the shake up at his X-Factor talent show which saw the removal of judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, creator/producer Simon Cowell has been tossing out feelings to potential new judges. When the changes took place it was first rumored that the fiery tongued judge offered pop star Beyonce a massive $500 million 5 year deal to sit in as a judge but those rumors were quickly dismissed. Cowell then approached singer Janet Jackson, but now news has broke that she turned down the offer leaving Cowell and company out in the dust to start from scratch again. Cowell can get new female judges easily, but he is looking for someone who is currently registering high on the celebrity rating chart which is making it difficult, because no one registering high on that chart would want to join a talent search TV show out of fear of being seen as a has been. So to help Simon with his little dilemma we came up with five suggestions we think would be perfect to fill Paula and Nicole's old seats. They don't register high on the ratings chart but they are known.



SHELBY LYNNE:
The country pop singer and song writer is a true musician who can definitely lend some good advice to wannabe singers. She's had many hits and has a huge following and knows a thing or two about making good music.







KELLY ROWLAND:
Sure she had a buzz over the summer with her hit "Motivation" which landed her some new fans and boosted her standing as a solo artist. But the truth is since that one hit, Kelly has quickly fallen back into the shadows of her former group mate Beyonce who can't seem to go away, if even to give Kelly some time to shine. As an experienced artist, Kelly's mentoring would definitely be welcomed.




 MISSY ELLIOT:
Missy Elliot has been off the scene for some time now due to health reasons. But the singer/rapper/producer/song writer is a force to be reckoned with in the music business. She knows talent when she hears and sees it and she can definitely help Simon find the next big X-Factor star.





ADELE:
OK, so Adele registers high on the ratings scale, especially after her clean up act at the Grammys. But she is about to take some time off from making music to focus on her relationship. But that can get boring really quick and Adele should definitely do something to at least keep her name in the game. She would be a great addition to the X-Factor judges table and she would bring the viewers as well.




TAMAR BRAXTON:
Toni's younger sister is a huge reality TV star who is also trying to break into the music business as a solo act. She has a massive following thanks to her bubbly animated personality and she is married to one of the most powerful men in the music business Vince Herbert. Tamar knows what she wants and won't hold back to tell it like it is to Simon or even a contestant who isn't pleasuring her ears. She would definitely bring that life the show lacked in its first season.
