Warner Brothers announced yesterday that Diane Lane has been cast in the upcoming Christopher Nolan-produced, Zach Snyder-directed Superman. She’ll play Martha Kent, the Kansas farmer who finds Superman as a baby, and raises him as her own.

Superman will be played by ‘The Tudors’ actor Henry Cavill.

Here’s the press release:

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures announced today that Oscar®-nominated actress Diane Lane will play Martha Kent, the only mother Clark Kent has ever known, in the new Superman movie to be directed by Zack Snyder.

Snyder stated, “This was a very important piece of casting for me because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we know as Superman. We are thrilled to have Diane in the role because she can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers beyond her imagination.”

Lane will star with Henry Cavill, who was recently announced as the new Clark Kent/Superman.

Ok, let’s discuss.

Halle Berry looks unfreakingbelievably hot. Take THAT Gabriel Aubry. Wow! Has she ever looked hotter?

Kristen Davis‘ dress is pretty…not hot, but pretty.

That dress makes Diane Lane look ancient! She should have worn a younger dress, I think she’s so beautiful!

Hugh Dancy is hot… wife Claire Danes looks like she forgot to wash her hair.

Kellan Lutz is officially NOT HOT anymore.

You don’t usually see Diane dressed casually! She’s so cute, love her.

Katie Holmes and a slew of other female celebs showed up for Variety’s 2nd Annual Power of Women Luncheon held at The Beverly Hills Hotel today. I’m sure some people might actully like her dress, but I think it’s so ugly! It looks like a tablecloth my mom brings out at Thanksgiving! The confusing part is, a lot of people around the web are talking about how great the dress is. (Lainey even went as far as to say it’s her favorite outfit that Katie’s ever worn!) I am confused. What am I missing?

Maybe I’m not as fashion forward as I thought. That’s a lie, I never thought I was fashion forward. Hell, I’d say I’m fashion backwards. I get excited when Old Navy has a sale.

Anyway, Katie Holmes was being honored for her dress at the event for her work with Dizzy Feet Foundation, which helps support dance education.

I’m sorta on the fence with Jennifer Garner’s outfit also, but I love her, so she’s good in my book.

Maria Bello needs to lay off the juice. She’s looking a bit tense.

Amy Adams looks ridiculous! How in the world did she just have a baby! Look at that body! She looks gorgeous!

Kerri Washington should not stand sideways – looks like she’s got street cones under her dress.

Diane Lane is stunning! As are Eva Mendes and Anne Hathaway.

AnnaLynne McCord’s smile brought to you by JLo. Yikes.
