Exceeding any possible expectations Batman: The Dark Knight went on to shatter records left and right this weekend.

The film is now the biggest debut ever in U.S. box office history.

Beating the reigning champ Spider-Man 3, The Dark Knight set box-office records this weekend, bringing in more than $155 million from the widest opening ever - 4,366 theaters through Friday to Sunday.

The film is great, Heath Ledger played his best role ever, but nonetheless the greatest success in the box office history must be for the sad fact that Heath Ledger died. Actor’s sorrowful death brought the film its legendary fame.

Now The Dark Knight is poised to take on all-time champs like Titanic, which earned more than $600 million.

Heath, you will always be in our hearts.

Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, the mother of three sons, says she wants to have a daughter so she will have someone to pass on all her clothes.

On being asked if she would consider another child, Victoria replied, “I’d love to have a girl - just for all the clothes I’ve got to hand down.”

The little girl will have quite a wardrobe stash to look forward to. Featuting on the cover of the August issue of Allure magazine Victoria told in her interview:

At the moment, we’re fine, the five of us.At some point, I’d love to have a girl, you know – just for all the clothes I’ve got to hand down. It would be tremendous fun. I’ve got great girlie advice that I can share.”

Talking about her looks, she added:

I just make the best out of what I have. I’m not out-of-the-ordinary-looking at all. I’m incredibly ordinary.

She also revealed she hates being photographed and being the centre of attention, saying, “I’m not the kind of person that stands there and loves the attention. It might look that way but it makes me very, very nervous.”

While there is no baby daughter, Vicky loves spending time with the youngest of her boys Cruz. On this photo they are in New York this winter.

I look like a librarian, but I love that look. This was me going shopping with my little boy. I like to dress in a character. This is a Marc Jacobs sweatshirt, a Chanel scarf, Hermes bag, Christian Louboutin shoes, DVB glasses, and a Roland Mouret skirt. We’d been to FAO Schwartz [where we bought my son's scarf and hat]. He wanted to be Harry Potter. I do think maybe I’m dressing more conservatively. Look at how English that looks.”

In this photo Vicky is with Elton John, David Beckham and David Furnish in 2005 at their AIDS benefit, Windsor, UK.

This was Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball, and that was a Cavalli dress—the famous Ming vase dress. That was one of the best dresses Cavalli has done, I think. If I’d had a big grin, it wouldn’t have matched the outfit. It’s about making the dress look good. I have a photographic memory [for clothes]. I can remember what everybody wears, all the time.”

Her future baby daughter, well, if there will be one would turn out quite lucky to have such huge wardrobe of pretty mommy’s clothes… The question is… are there lots of timeless gowns?

Not many.

Remember Gwen Stefani’s music video ‘What You’re Waiting For?’ and the theme she chose for it? She was playing Alice In Wonderland. Singer and designer is now a mother of one son she’s expecting another baby this summer. Gwen will definitely create the most magical ruby shoes and there is no doubt why she was put first on the list.

The 19 pairs of magic shoes - designed by fashion icons including Alberta Ferretti, Christian Louboutin, Diane von Furstenberg, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Moschino and Oscar de la Renta - will then be displayed as part of New York Fashion Week, in the city’s Bryant Park.

Agyness Deyn with her peroxide crop is this summer’s must-have haircut. Young British model was the face of the Burberry last season. But as it unveiled today for this new coming season the brand has chosen newcomer Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to front its autumn-winter campaign.

Deyn will continue as the face of Burberry’s perfume, The Beat.

The black-and-white images were shot in Kensington Gardens by Mario Testino, and featured Burberry’s latest must-have - the Lowry bag.

Christopher Bailey, creative director of Burberry, said:

The campaign is nostalgic, returning to our signature black and white and capturing the poetic melancholy and romance of the winter collections which were inspired by LS Lowry. Menswear is reinforced with an actor I admire enormously, Sam Riley, playing one half of the ‘Burberry couple’ alongside the fresh-faced British beauty that is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.”

Success will be all the sweeter for Huntington-Whiteley, 21, because she has made no bones about her dislike of Deyn in the past. Who cares. Even if Rosie was to replace Deyn, still Agyness is our favorite. She is currently releasing a single with the band Five O’Clock Heroes.

Both on and offstage at the T4 On The Beach bash, the Lancashire lovely caused a stir as well, by arriving with her new boyfriend, The Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. The couple went public last month at the Songwriter Hall Of Fame Awards in New York.

Bailey speaking of Deyn:

Agyness is a huge part of the Burberry family and a personal friend. We’ve worked with Agyness for several years now and I am thrilled that she will continue to star in our new fragrance campaign ‘ Burberry The Beat’ this year.”

By the way, what I found quite interesting is that Deyn’s real name is Laura Hollins, and she formerly worked behind the counter in a fish & chip shop.

The girl is one of a few outstanding world class models that had not been ousted by the fashion firm.

Despite all the danger of smocking cigs, doing crack, and drinking Amy is partying all night long. Troubled Amy is in early stages of emphysema, the chronic lung disease due to smoking crack cocaine. Last night she was hanging out with her friends and running around the kiosks till the dawn.

In early hours this morning Amy Winehouse appeared relaxed among friends as they came out of one of their favorite pubs. The gang emerged from her Camden home at 2.30 am and walked to the Monarch pub.

Few hours later, the ‘Rehab’ star turned out to be very forgetful. She forgot to pay for a bouquet of flowers she picked up in a petrol station forecourt. Of course, being high 5 in the morning is pretty hard for remembering things. That is so sad.

Amy may have thought a night out would do good in order to distract herself from worrying about her husband Blake Civil-Fielder’s sentencing hearing tomorrow. He is due to be sentenced for beating up a pub owner and then offering him a £200,000 bribe to buy his silence.

Blake’s parents Giles and Georgette Civil have apparently written to a crown court judge, pleading for him to order their 26 years old son to stay at the family home and be forbidden to stay with his ‘unstable wife’.

Blake Fielder-Civil’s mom is complaining about her daughter-in-law Amy Winehouse. She wants Amy to get help before she can see her husband because she fears that the two will be disastrous once back together.

In the interview with the News of the World, Mrs Civil said:

I’m going to give the letter to the court usher to hand to the judge. I want Blake free but I want him in an environment that is safe - without Amy.

Amy thinks Blake will be freed on Monday but it’s not good news. I’m absolutely dreading it because I don’t want him to go straight back to Amy. If he goes it could be a death sentence for the two of them. Blake thinks he’s going to be Amy’s saviour and has every intention to try to stop the drugs. But Amy is completely unstable. Blake is a recovering addict and he’s not strong enough to resist the temptation.

If they are reunited, I know they will be back on drugs within days.”

I agree - the two together is one death sentence for both. But what can one do when in love?

Britney Spears attended a fundraiser for Jenny McCarthy’s charity Generation Rescue in Los Angeles last night. Britney Spears took time out on Saturday night to do something for the kids, adding star wattage to comedy couple Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey’s fundraiser for Generation Rescue, an organization dedicated to researching autism.

Generation Rescue is an international movement of scientists, physicians and parents focused on research and treatment to recover children with autism and helpnig more than 20,000 children begin biomedical treatment. Jenny became an activist for this cause after her son Evan was diagnosed with autism. She is now a board member of this organization.

The video is a documentary on how pollution affects overvacsination, therefore causes autism, asthma, ADD and other ilnesses.

Autism is abnormal self-absorption, usually affecting children, characterized by lack of response to people and actions and limited ability to communicate.

Other celebrity guests included Charlie Sheen and his new wife Brooke Mueller.

It was Spears’ first public outing since reaching a custody agreement with ex-husband Kevin Federline last week. Now Federline gets sole custody, and Brit gets three visits a week from Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, including two overnights.

Her attorney, Laura Wasser, has told the Associated Press the “difference” in Spears “from the beginning of this year to now is astonishing.”

Britney will reportedly pay her ex-husband K-Fed $20,000 a month to care for the sons - an increase from $15,000. Gosh! Bitter 18-month custody battle is finally over.

Kevin Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, received $250,000 for his work on the case.

Britney Spears is spending her summer recording a new album and making new appearances at the How I Met Your Mother TV series. So having her kids for roughly 40 percent of the time is more than she could handle even if she had full custody over them.

The British beauty decided to keep on designing her own line for UK high street fashion chain Topshop to set herself a stimulating new challenge.

Kate Moss said:

Modelling can be a bit brain damaging. Starting my own brand was what I needed to do. I only model if there are such good jobs that you don’t want to say no to. All that dressing up makes me say, ‘What do I want to wear?’ and, ‘What do I want to do with Topshop?’ It all kind of leads into the other things.”

And then there’s her other very important project for Kate at the moment – 5 years old daughter Lila Grace.

I’m a mum. All the time. Every day I put my daughter to bed.”

Cat walk super model also told American Vogue August 2008 issue for which she put on an elegant look:

I’ve got a house and a daughter and all that, but I still like to have fun. Even in my business we still have fun. I am still acting like a 17-year-old. I definitely haven’t become middle-aged.”

Kate admits she enjoys being able to lead a luxurious life, but isn’t motivated by fame and fortune:

I like making money. But I don’t call people up every day to see how much I’ve made. As long as I have what I need at the time. I mean, I can buy the house that I want.”

This woman is one of my favorite celebrities for sure. Sophistication, grace, elegance, style – she has all that even wearing a potato sack.

Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins teaser - trailer was unleashed to the Web sometime Wednesday afternoon, ahead of its bow on the big screen in front of The Dark Knight.

“This is not the future my mother warned me about,” says Christian Bale (American Psycho) as Connor, and we get a handful of apocalyptic shots of the Earth and a brief, PG-13-friendly explosion. McG (Charlie’s Angels) will direct the upcoming Terminator Salvation, which is set in postwar 2018 and follows Connor as he leads the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators.

The trailer goes for a radio-static effect, and we get a human skull being smashed. But before you think you’ve seen that before, it’s a human foot that’s turning bone to dust this time around,” writes LA Times. Watch the hot trailer by clicking below.

Here are some quotes from Visual Effects Supervisor Charles Gibson on his role in the making of the film:

Prior to Terminator Salvation, I worked on all three Pirates movies. Those worlds and characters were from a different time and place and had to be completely fabricated. This film plays in an altered but plausible version of our world. We’re primarily concerned with bringing the Terminator elements home, to make you believe this reality could be just around the corner. It’s a very different sort of challenge.

McG’s take is to weave science fiction and horror elements into a state-of-the-art action film: The camera always moves, the imagery is raw and kinetic, the pace is insane. The creative challenge for me will be to bury the effects into the photography but to still protect our big visual moments.

Before Terminator 2: Judgment Day, visual effects films were frequently driven by technology — you worked with what you had. With The Abyss and especially with Terminator 2: Judgment Day, James Cameron showed us that concept rules: When the director has a compelling new vision, the technology will follow. Cameron opened that gate for other filmmakers who in turn have pushed the visual effects industry in new directions.

We’ve been waiting to see this world for years — it’s only been glimpsed and hinted at in the previous Terminator movies. We’re able to revisit the elements that have been established, but we’re going to be adding a whole lot more.”

Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, starring Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Bryce Dallas Howard, Moon Bloodgood, Common, Jadagrace and Helena Bonham Carter, opens in theaters on May 22, 2009.

It’s a historic day for all of us, for this country that has suffered a lot. What a proud day to be Colombian!”
