The Dark Knight Rises trailer starts with a monologue from Michael Caine, then a reaction shot from Christian Bale, followed by “from director Christopher Nolan.” You shouldn’t even need to see any more to get on board with this. Yet there is so much more to look forward to.

Bale, along with Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Morgan Freeman, Marion Cotillard and Joseph-Gordon Levitt star in the flick.

The best thing about this is that you have eye candy like Marion Cotillard and Christian Bale, and that’s not even remotely the most exciting aspect of it...

Before Monday, here's what we knew about Adam Shulman.

1. He is a man.

2. He is a very lucky man.

Because on Monday, Anne Hathaway announced her engagement to the 30 year-old actor. And the day before, the pair celebrated their upcoming news by having a romantic date in the park, where Anne showed off her shiny engagement ring. I guess we should've seen it coming, with Hathaway saying in September:

"Adam totally ruined my plan. I was really actually looking forward to a little alone time and then I fall in love like a fool."

After playing more brides and wives in movies than years she’s been alive, Anne Hathaway is finally getting real-life hitched!

The 29 year-old-actress is engaged to her actor boyfriend Adam Shulman. Not much is known about Adam Shulman, but does it really matter, he’s an actor and very soon he’ll be known as “Anne Hathaway’s husband” and that’s the most important part. Also he looks the teeniest bit like Ryan Gosling, which is a plus.

The two have been together for three years, hooking up right after Hathaway’s fallout with ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri who Hathaway broke up with after he pled guilty in October 2008 to defrauding investors millions of dollars, conspiracy, and 14 counts of money laundering. From rebound to engagement, that’s one heck of a story.

Jessica Biel says that Anne Hathaway snatches up all the film roles she wanted.

In an interview with Elle magazine, Biel confesses that her two dream roles were playing catwoman in “The Dark Knight Rises” and she also wanted the role of Fantine in the new movie musical of “Les Miserables.” Both of those roles went to Anne Hathaway, thereby making Hathaway the biggest competition for Biel, according to Biel.

When Biel found out that Christopher Nolan was casting the new Batman flick she jumped at the opportunity to audition. Too bad, Nolan handed the role to Hathaway.
The annual People's Choice Awards nominations have been announced, and leading the pack is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. The flick garnered nominations in the categories of Movie, Action Movie, Ensemble Movie Cast and Book Adaptation. Daniel Radcliffe is nominated for Movie Actor, and Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Tom Felton are all nominated for the same category: Movie Star Under 25. People love their Harry Potter.

Daniel Radcliffe is up against Hugh Jackman, Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson and Ryan Reynolds. I'm not sure what it says about our society that a pirate, a wizard and a vampire are nominated for best actor. But it definitely says something.

Radliffe recently admitted he cried about the Harry Potter franchise coming to an end.

"You've got to have a heart of stone to not find part of it - especially Alan Rickman's performance – heartbreaking. I've done my fair share of crying already."

Who can blame her?

Remember way back when Anne Hathaway was that cute girl from the Princess Diaries? Well, if she has it her way, she might be playing royalty again.

Hathaway was asked on the red carpet if she would consider playing Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. Anne responded: "I haven't really thought about it before but yes, why not. She's great. It's such a fairytale."

A fairytale that cost British taxpayers millions and millions of dollars. But that dress was sooooo beautiful!

Anne is apparently a big fan of the Duchess, saying that she's "utterly charmed" by the romance between Will and Kate. On the subject of Kate's hair, Hathaway said: "Jesus, that is bouncy. All the things that must be done to allow the crown to stay on . . . I can't even imagine."

Anne Hathaway says it's easier being naked than talking with a British accent.

Anne, an American actress, plays British girl Emma in her new film, "One Day," where she stars opposite an actual Brit, Jim Sturgess. She says she'd rather strip naked in front of Sturgess for the films skinny-dipping scene than master her character's regional dialect.

Well I could have answered that for you. Naked with Jim Sturgess is a yes. Always a yes. "Hi Anne Hathaway, do you like being naked in front on hot men or talking in an accent you aren't good at?" uh duh Jim Sturgess duh uh naked.

Anne says, "I was more nervous about the accent than nudity." I saw "One Day" I can vouch that yes, Anne didn't really master the British accent.
Anne Hathaway's Catwoman look in the new Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises" has reached the internet.

The first image of Hathaway as Selena Kyle, the alter ego to Catwoman, shows a cat suit very different from her predecessors.

Hathaway is seen wearing a black body suit, no mask or ears, and some wrap around goggles that look like fancy 3D glasses. The photo also shows her wearing an earpiece because even villains practice safe handsfree driving.

Previous catwomen were a little sexier than Hathaway's look.

Anne Hathaway has come a long way from the frizzy haired bespectacled nerd she played in "The Princess Diaries."

Appearing on the cover of Harpers Bazaar oozing old-school Hollywood glamour, in one photo she wears a white gown with flowing train that made the Royal Wedding dress look like a tea cozy.

Anne opens up to the mag about everything from her less-than-perfect Oscar co-hosting gig to doing nude scenes in “Love and Other Drugs...
