Anne Hathaway's Catwoman diet



How do you prepare to squeeze your bod into a skintight leather catsuit? According to Anne Hathaway, you need to be eating "kale and dust."

The 28-year-old actress, who it preparing to play Catwoman in the new Batman flick, The Dark Knight Rises, revealed her punishing diet in a recent interview. "I’m a vegetarian and right now, I’m living on kale and dust for the training. That catsuit’s unforgiving, man!”

In addition to her diet, Anne is also practicing Bikram yoga and attending the gym regularly to get her figure in shape for the role.

The brunette beauty confessed she finds the gym challenging, especially when it comes to keeping up with her workout buddies.

She said, "Like, the gym that I work out at, I was literally working out next to a pregnant Jessica Alba - and she could do more pushups than I could!"

David Letterman Marked for Death on Extremist Website



Attempted extortion all of a sudden doesn't sound so bad anymore.

David Letterman was the target of a death threat in a violently worded post that popped up on an extremist networking site frequented by al-Qaida, according to SITE Intelligence Group, a private company that trolls the web for possible terrorist activity.

The call to "cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever" apparently came after Letterman—who, for the record, is not Jewish—cracked a joke on Late Show perceived as offensive to Islam.

"He showed his evil nature and deep hatred for Islam and Muslims, and said that Ilyas Kashmiri was killed and he joined bin Laden," the poster, identified as Umar al-Basrawi, wrote on the site. "We ask Allah to paralyze his tongue and grant the sincere monotheists his neck."

A SITE analyst described the Shumukh-al-Islam website as a "clearing house for al-Qaida material" and told EW.com that they perceived the diatribe against Letterman as "a more explicit threat" than the one aimed at South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone after they depicted the prophet Muhammad over the course of two episodes in 2009.

Zachary Chesser, a college dropout from Virginia who had tried to hitch his apple cart to a Somalian terrorist organization, had warned Parker and Stone that they would end up like director Theo Van Gogh, who was shot to death by an Islamic extremist in the Netherlands.

Chesser was ultimately sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to supporting a terrorist group, communicating threats and soliciting crimes of violence—all technically unrelated to the South Park stuff.

A rep for Letterman's Worldwide Pants production company respectfully declined to comment, but SITE is advising the funnyman to be on his guard and take the same precautions as he would if he were evading a stalker.

Kim's wedding-day fears



Kim Kardashian may have the money, fame and knock-out bod that most of us can only dream of, but like any bride, she has some fears about her wedding day.

The buxom reality TV star has revealed that she's going to be incredibly nervous walking down the aisle - especially because half the world will be watching - so she's turned to step-dad Bruce Jenner for help.

“I was so nervous to walk down the aisle by myself, for some reason I wasn’t thinking, like, ‘Oh, Bruce will be there right with me,’ so I was thinking, ‘I’m gonna fall, I’m gonna faint, oh my God, my train!” Kim said whilst on the red carpet at the 2011 Do Something! Awards.

Kim also dropped some hints about her much anticipated Vera Wang gown, saying, “I’ll just say she’s doing something I’ve never seen before when it comes to dresses.”

Katy Perry Makes History With Fifth No. 1 'Teenage Dream' Single



Katy Perry has officially made history after scoring her fifth No. 1 single off of her ‘Teenage Dream’ album, making her the only artist to do so in nearly 19 years. ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)’ recently climbed from No. 2 to No. 1, and this achievement will surely see Perry’s name imprinted in pop culture books worldwide.

Aside from ‘Last Friday Night,’ Perry saw four other ‘Teenage Dream’ singles skyrocket to No. 1. ‘California Gurls’ featuring Snoop Dogg, ‘Teenage Dream,’ ‘Firework,’ and ‘E.T’ featuring Kanye West all claimed the No. 1 position on the Billboard Pop Songs chart.

Both Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake were tied for the record before Perry trumped their numbers. Timberlake and Gaga each had four chart-topping singles off of ‘FutureSex/LoveSounds’ and ‘The Fame,’ respectively.

According to a report from Billboard, Perry’s latest single also “sets the mark for most weekly plays in the chart’s history.” Wanna know the funny part? The track that previously held this title was Perry’s own ‘E.T.’

Before her history-making ‘Teenage Dream’ tunes were released, Perry had already pocketed two No. 1′s on the Billboard charts with her ‘One of the Boys’ tracks ‘Hot N Cold’ and ‘Waking Up in Vegas.’

Perry is also up for another huge honor if ‘Last Friday Night’ can top the Billboard Hot 100. ‘Teenage Dream’ would be the first album to garner five No. 1 singles since Michael Jackson‘s 1987 release, ‘Bad.’ Can you imagine what it must feel like being on the cusp of breaking a record set by the King of Pop? We’re sure 26-year-old Perry is on cloud nine, just like her ‘Teenage Dream’ album cover.
