Justin Bieber
You can't go one week without hearing a ridiculous story involving some of your favorite celebrities. Thankfully, the Starpulse Rumor Patrol is here to sort out what's real and what's fake.

Justin Bieber "Used" By X Factor: Is Justin Bieber angry at X Factor for using him as a PR stunt?

Verdict: True. Apparently Bieber thought he was going to get more air time on the reality talent show after he was hired to mentor L.A. Reid's team. Instead, the episode mostly centered on Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell’s teams. It seems to be all a misunderstanding, though, as Bieber was featured in the Th...

Bane
The final installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, is upon us; and much like Heath Ledger's Joker the film's villains are once again posed to steal the show.

This time around we'll be reintroduced to three bad guys: Bane, (Tom Hardy), Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) and Ra's al Ghul (Liam Neeson). Both Bane and Catwoman made their first appearances in the original film run that Tim Burton started in the 1990s (and, fortunately, we'll be seeing a much different Bane in TDKR); and Ra's al Ghul returns to the series after his intro in Batman Begins.
