An imposter pretending to be Lindsay Lohan and Blake Lively’s manager is wreaking havoc in New York – by booking parties and shopping sprees for the stars which never take place.

The man, calling himself Roy Cohen, has called exclusive Big Apple boutiques Prada and Gucci to request private store viewing sessions for Lohan and arranged a bash for Lively at the Empire Hotel.

But the New York Post claims neither actress showed up – and Lohan’s publicist is dubbing Cohen a hoax.

Leslie Sloane Zelnick tells the newspaper, “He doesn’t rep Lindsay or Blake and no one knows who the creep is.”

The 62-year-old singer and actress is reported to be in talks to play Catwoman opposite Christian Bale in the third Batman film from British director Christopher Nolan.

The Oscar-winner will join a cast that includes Johnny Depp as The Riddler as she plays the whip-carrying burglar. The character has also been played by Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry.

A studio executive said: “Cher is Nolan’s first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years.

“The new Catwoman will be the absolute opposite of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry’s purring creations.”

Filming of the new Batman instalment, provisionally entitled The Caped Crusader, is due to begin in Vancouver early next year.

The Dark Knight, this summer’s blockbuster, has become the most successful of the Batman movies. Warner Bros expects the film to make about $530m.

It stars the late Heath Ledger, who was found dead in his Manhattan apartment after taking an accidental drugs overdose. His performance as The Joker is widely expected to garner an Oscar nomination.

Cher’s recent acting performances have included Tea with Mussolini in 1999 and Stuck on You, in 2003 in which she played herself.

Eva Mendes once considered a career as a nun.

The 34-year-old was brought up as part of a strict Catholic family by her Cuban-American parents.

And Mendes admits that her religion nearly played a big part in her career choices – until she found out about the meagre salaries given to members of the church.

She says, “I guess there is this little Catholic girl inside me somewhere. But I did want to be a nun when I was very little. Well, that was until my sister told me that they don’t get paid. Then, I went off the idea really quickly.”

Breast cancer survivor Christina Applegate will save the lives of thousands of women inspired by her story, insists her longtime friend Lance Bass.

The former ‘N Sync star maintains Applegate is “doing great” and “totally, fully recovering” after undergoing a double mastectomy following her diagnosis with the deadly disease last month.

And Bass, 29, is adamant the Samantha Who? star’s battle will in turn encourage scores of women to undergo early testing for the illness.

He tells People.com, “Now she has a voice and she can use it for something good. Just opening her mouth about it is going to make thousands of women go get checked out. It will probably save many lives.”

Applegate has announced plans to launch a campaign to raise money for MRI scans for women at risk of contracting breast cancer.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie made a last-ditch attempt to save their troubled marriage by renewing their wedding vows at a private kabbalah ceremony in London, I can report.

Madonna, who was 50 last weekend, is understood to have flown her kabbalah teacher over from Los Angeles to conduct the proceedings.

‘It was very intimate and both Guy and Madonna made vows to each other and pledged to try to make their marriage strong again,’ says my source.

‘The ceremony lasted about an hour. They turned up at the kabbalah center in their gym clothes and changed into white robes. Everyone at the center hopes that they will get through their recent rough patch.’

Madonna is about to start a world tour, while Guy is planning his 40th birthday party on September 10 at the Punch Bowl pub in Mayfair, which he owns with his wife.

The new season of “Dancing With the Stars” may have already lost its first competitor — and they haven’t even announced the official cast yet.

Kim Kardashian — who is scheduled to be on the show this season — badly cut her foot in her hotel room late Sunday night. We’re told she sliced her foot open on a glass coffee table and was rushed to New York Presbyterian Hospital. No word on how many stitches she needed, but a source tells TMZ there was “so much blood, it looked like a murder scene.”

“DWTS” makes its official cast announcement this morning and Kim is in town to do press for that and her new movie, “Disaster Movie.” We’re told Kim has already begun to practice for the show, but it’s unclear now whether she’ll be able to participate.
