Holy dream team Batman! Geek powerhouse J.J. Abrams is reportedly teaming up with Jonah Nolan to shop around a crime-thriller that Nolan wrote. If you haven’t heard of Jonah Nolan but think his name sounds familiar, that’s because he is Christopher Nolan’s brother and helped write 'The Dark Knight', 'The Prestige' and also wrote a short story that 'Memento' was based off of.

That’s enough right there to make anyone want to work with this guy. Throw in Abrams and I’m sure all the studios are clamoring to secure this project A.S.A.P.! No title has been given to the project yet but I’m ...

This week, we've brought you the Ten Greatest TV Shows, Songs, Albums and Movies of the Decade. Now it's time to roll it all into one with the Ten Greatest Entertainers of the Decade.

This was a decade where entertainment became increasingly fractured. With 500 channels 500 bazillion websites and every medium on-demand, bringing together any significant chunk of people to one thing was a true sign of greatness. In an era when nobody had to agree - making them agree took something beyond the level of entertainer we saw in the past.

With that in mind, here are the Ten Greatest Entert...

So, have you seen this year's comedy about an overweight, overzealous, loser-y mall cop who takes his job way too seriously and is hopelessly in love with a fellow shopping center employee? If you're not sure whether I'm referring to January's hit Paul Blart: Mall Cop or the newest Seth Rogen comedy Observe and Report (in theaters now), don't be too hard on yourself: Both flicks have eerily similar plotlines. This isn't the first time two films with the same subject matter have been released within a year of one another; Hollywood has a talent for redundancy (see: recycling and ripping off)...

With every surplus of holiday cheer comes a few Scrooges. Some can't stand all the mushiness, or perhaps they just want to have something blow up to go along with their eggnog. Maybe they just like to sit on the edge of their seats instead of on Santa's lap. Fair enough.

For those people, there have been a few real holiday film gems over the years. Some are disturbing, such as Santa going on a killing spree. Others are entertaining, like Die Hard's Christmas party gone awry.

Part Three - Bah Humbug- Action/Drama/Adventure

But many don't have any holiday thematic link at all,...

Hollywood beauty Scarlett Johansson has given U.S. troops in Iraq something to smile about - she'll be performing there this autumn.

The Prestige star releases her debut album later this year, and admits she's so nervous about her first gig abroad she isn't even sure she'll be able to sing.

Johannson jokes, "I'll probably just take the stage, hang around and ooze sex appeal."

But the actress admits she's thrilled her fame allows her to make a difference to people's lives.

She adds, "I'm so lucky that I have an opportunity to make some sort of difference."

Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has no patience for celebrities who sell their personal stories - insisting it's "vulgar". The Prestige star is adamant she will never tell journalists her inner most thoughts and she can't understand why other people do so. She says, "I'll never sell my sob story to some magazine."

"I read those issues in which people are crying on a reporter's shoulder and the reporter writes, 'Then she starts to sob...'

"Stories in which gals open up a little too much make me go, 'Aaaagghh!' They talk about their bulimia or their drug addiction. I think: 'Wh...

The Batman Begins sequel is shrouded in such secrecy that Heath Ledger is being forced to prepare for his portrayal of villain The Joker based on a glimpse of the script. The Aussie actor reveals secretive director Chris Nolan refused to let him leave his house with the script for The Dark Knight and so he's planning the character based on memory.

Ledger explains, "I don't have a script. I've read it once at Chris Nolan's house but he wouldn't let me leave with it. I do have a plan of attack already and an understanding of the role but, at this point, I'm working solo because Chris No...

Hugh Jackman feels he is far too "boring" to warrant any media attention and feels sorry for the photographers who spend all day following him. The star's chauffeur became concerned after being followed by the paparazzi, but the actor assured him they would be more interested in his Prestige co-stars.

Jackman told the driver, "Nah, I'll lose 'em, because I'm boring. And I was right. They were probably heading back to the hotel going, 'Christ, when's Scarlett going to get up?' I feel for 'em, man, I really do."

Christian Bale has finally shown his mom he's made it in Hollywood by sharing the big screen with veteran rocker David Bowie. The actor's mom Jenny has always praised her son's career, but his latest role alongside the singer left her beaming with maternal pride.

Hugh Jackman missed out on getting acting tips from screen legend Michael Caine on set because the pair was so busy drooling over their female co-stars. The star teamed up with Caine on new magician movie The Prestige and confesses he was initially nervous about the encounter.

Speaking at the film's London premiere last night Jackman recalls, "It seemed to me everyone was trying to do a Michael Caine impression when they met him, but I never did because I was c**p at it. I didn't want to embarrass myself. I was in awe because he was so iconic."

And Jackman is particularly upset ...

The Prestige co-stars Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale told each other what they were being paid to star in the film, to check they weren't being ripped off. The pair play rival magicians who battle each other in the new movie, and were keen to make sure they picked up the same salaries.

Jackman confesses, "We did have one conversation on-set. What do you have in your contract? What do you get for the sequel? What do you get for number three?"

Christian Bale conjured up ghosts from the past to play a master illusionist in new film The Prestige - his grandfather was a member of the Magic Circle. The star jumped at the chance to honor his grandfather in the period drama and spent the movie recalling magic moments from his youth when he was treated to attic illusion shows.

Bale says, "I never got to see him perform but he would, on occasions, when I was small, drag down a chest from the attic which had his old props and tricks in it. Most of them were aged at the time and not working properly but he would show me how he did ce...

This fall is flooded with comedies, horror films, and action flicks, while there are just a few dramas set for release. In All The King’s Men (Sept. 22), Sean Penn, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Patricia Clarkson, James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo, and Anthony Hopkins lead an all-star cast in the third screen version of Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1947 novel. Willie Stark (Penn), a fast talking politico, is quick to discover just how far one can fall when ambition and power compels a person to betray his or her original stance.
