Charlize Theron has revealed that she would be thrilled to play Catwoman in the follow-up to The Dark Knight.

The Burning Plain actress, who is rumoured to be in the running to star in the upcoming Batman sequel, has praised director Christopher Nolan as a “genius” and has said that she would not pass on the opportunity to portray Catwoman, reports STV.

Theron said: “It’s news to me, but that’s kick-ass news. I like that… I think that what has happened to that franchise is amazing, and director Chris Nolan is a genius. So I would be an idiot to not consider that.”

If Theron were offered the role, the 34-year-old Oscar winner would follow in the footsteps of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry, who have both worn the leather cat-suit on the silver screen.

Warner Bros has insisted that no casting decisions have been made and have denied reports that 23-year-old actress Megan Fox was offered the role of Catwoman.

Other actresses rumoured to be attached to the role are Angelina Jolie and Rachel Weisz.

Megan Fox has allegedly landed the role of Catwoman in the next Batman film.

According to The Sun, the Transformers actress will be ditching Autobots for a tight PVC cat suit to play the part of Selina Kyle in the new Christopher Nolan directed film.

Megan will be following in the footsteps of Michelle Pfeiffer who played the part in Batman Returns and Halle Berry, who also donned the famous catsuit for spin-off movie Catwoman.

However, Fox’s take on the cartoon vixen is said to be a lot more sinister that her predecessors, as The Sun reports Megan’s portrayal of Kyle will have ‘a darker edge’.

Batman stars Christian Bale and Michael Caine are also said to be on board for the next chapter in the comic-book hero saga.

Shooting for the film is rumoured to be starting next year but it is not expected to be released until 2011.

Michelle Pfeiffer would love to play Catwoman again.

The 51-year-old actress donned the leather catsuit for 1992 movie ‘Batman Returns’ and would be willing to reprise the sexy role.

She said: “Oh yeah, it would be really fun. That was really fun. I had a good time.”

However, Michelle admits producers of the latest franchise of ‘Batman’ films may not want her because they would like a new actress for the role.

Talking about whether bosses would bring back Catwoman for a new movie, Michelle said: “I think they like to get a new face for the different characters, and I understand it.”

Despite accepting she won’t be asked to return to the franchise, Michelle recently revealed she wants to give whipping lessons to the next Catwoman.

She said: “You would think they’d bring her back. They better… They should! I would be there for the consult. I can give the whipping lessons. I did my own whipping.”

Both Angelina Jolie and Rachel Weisz have been mooted for the role, but Michelle refused to choose a favorite saying only they would “both would be awesome”.

Former model Rachel Hunter has split from her ice hockey player fiance Jarret Stoll.

According to the UK’s Daily Mail, Stoll called off the engagement seven weeks before they were set to marry, and he informed wedding guests via email.

The Canadian hockey star, 27, reportedly failed to give a reason for the cancellation.

“She is absolutely devastated,” a friend of Hunter told The Sun, who first reported the split. “Everything was in place for their wedding — she had the venue, the designer dress, the guest list. She has absolutely no idea why Jarret has done this. It sounds like it could be a classic case of cold feet. He is a fair bit younger than her.”

Stoll, who is 12 years Hunter’s junior, proposed to her last year after they’d been dating for two years. The nuptials — which were set to be a lavish affair with Sharon Stone and Michelle Pfeiffer among the rumored guests — was planned for August.

Hunter, 39, was previously married to Rod Stewart, 64. When she was 21, the two wed in 1990. After nine years of marriage, they legally split but didn’t divorce until 2006.
