WB launched the TheDarkKnightRises.com today, and while all you get right now is some poorly-mastered chanting, there's also another little site slowly revealing an image of Tom Hardy as Bane. Luckily, someone at Batman-News.com did some digging around the source code and found the full image for all to see. Check out a new pic of Tom Hardy as Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises" here.

David Mandel apparently beat out several high-profile writers to pen a remake of the Chevy Chase classic that will probably never happen. This after several other writer/directors have been rumored to be involved in the film. Kevin Smith was going to do it with Jason Lee, and it was going to be the first Miramax franchise. "Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence was going to do it with Zach Braff until Braff decided to actually make another movie himself. Other potential stars, including Zach Galifianakis and Jimmy Fallon have been considered at one point or another.

Adult Swim, the late-night block of alternative comedy and animation on Cartoon Network, announced its slate of new series pickups and renewed shows yesterday, and it's an impressive list with some familiar (and funny) names.
Paul Scheer of "Human Giant" and "Piranha 3D" fame will be bringing "NTSF:SD:SUV" to the network. That stands for "National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle," by the way.

The news leading into the day of "The Office" season finale indicated that Catherine Tate was the front-runner to replace Steve Carell. Now, the finale has aired. How did it turn out?
In short, it didn't.
Yes, after an hour-long finale, nothing was totally settled in the search for the new manager of Dunder-Mifflin's Scranton branch. But we did get a fantastic display of guest stardom, as Will Arnett, Catherine Tate, James Spader, Ricky Gervais, Jim Carrey, and Ray Romano stopped by.

Is James Cameron looking to dethrone himself? Again?
In 2010, Cameron's "Avatar" out-earned "Titanic" and became the new record-holder for the top grossing movie of all time. The argument with that title, however, is that "Avatar" was in 3D, and 3D tickets cost more...so does it really deserve to be #1?
You'd think that Cameron wouldn't care.

She thought about "Good night and good luck" and "And that's the way it is," and she even considered "You stay classy, San Diego." But eventually, Katie Couric decided that the best way to sign off was to simply say thank you.
"In the end, it felt more comfortable and more me to just say, 'Thanks for watching,'" said Couric. "My sign-off won't be in the history books like Walter's, but I'm grateful my 'sign-on' may be."

Here's an interesting predicament, presented to "Glee" star Chris Colfer by Piers Morgan: if you meet politicians that you know have voted against your own personal rights, what do you say to them?
In an interview with Morgan (which will air on Monday on "Piers Morgan Tonight"), Colfer discussed his recent attendance at the White House Correspondent's Dinner and how it went when he came face-to-face with members of the GOP, many of whom actively oppose gay rights.

"La Vie en Rose"...no more like "La Vie en Bleu" for Oscar winner Marion Cotillard who gave birth to a healthy baby boy last night in Paris.
A source confirmed to PEOPLE that both mother and baby, named Marcel, are doing fine. The "Inception" star, 35, and her actor/director honey, Guillaume Canet, announced in January that Cotillard was expecting.

After a night of strong performances from the Top 3, it's time to see who goes home. And boy, do I hope it's Lauren or Scotty. Not because I think they did a bad job, but because the horror of an all-country finale makes me want to puncture my own eardrums.
