Michael Caine’s High Praise for Heath Ledger’s The Joker
I’m getting more and more excited for The Dark Knight everyday, and with Oscar winner Michael Caine making such huge claims, Heath Ledger may have huge expectations to fill.
“I tell you the big surprise in the new ‘Batman’ — Heath Ledger as the Joker,” Caine told reporters in New York Tuesday. “He’s fantastic. He’s gone in a different direction than Jack (Nicholson) … Jack was like a really scary old, nasty old uncle with a funny face. Heath is like the most murderous psychopath you’ve ever seen on the screen,” Caine said.
“I was waiting for Batman’s guests, but (the Joker) had taken over the elevator with — he has seven dwarfs and… oh! wait until you see them. So, I’d never seen any of it and the elevator door opened and they came out and I forgot every bloody line. They frightened the bloody life out of me …. It’s amazing and it’s so different from Jack.”

Madonna and Guy ’Remain Happily Married’
Madonna and Guy Ritchie are not headed for splitsville, according to the singer’s rep.
“I am delighted to confirm that Mr. and Mrs. Guy Ritchie remain happily married,” Liz Rosenberg said in a statement Monday, countering rampant speculation about trouble in the couple’s marriage.
Earlier Monday, a British news service published a story quoting an unnamed source as saying “Madonna and Guy Ritchie are over.” Multiple reports also speculated that the couple, who have been working on separate projects, were planning to split up.
Rosenberg, However, denied there was any truth to those rumors. “Though they were in different countries recently – Madonna in the U.S. doing promotion for her upcoming album Hard Candy and Guy finishing up post production on his new film RocknRolla as well as completing a Nike commercial and working on several scripts in England – the family are joyfully back together at home in London.”
Madonna, 50, and Ritchie, 39, are parents to three children: Lourdes, 11, Rocco, 7, and David, 2 1/2, whom they are in the process of adopting.
Added Rosenberg, “All is well and wonderful in the Ritchie household.”
