Movies:Rachel Weisz is in contention for a leading role in the next Batman flick, The Dark Knight Rises. Apparently so are Blake Lively, Naomi Watts, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley, but we just wanted to post a pic of Rachel 'cause she got that sultry, slightly older woman sex appeal thing going on.

Politics: Color us flabbergasted (and a bit impressed), but Bill O'Reilly actually pressed George W. Bush to own his part in the various messes Dubya left for Barack Obama. And what color is "flabbergasted" you ask? Imagine a rich mauve, with hints of turquoise. Looks reaaaal good. [Talking Points Memo]

Media: In more Fox News news, the progressive media watchdog group Media Matters spent $86,000 to win an auction for a lunch date with Rupert Murdoch. Liberals, making pointless, idle gestures since...forever. [Hollywood Reporter]

Comics: Comics Alliance is touting American Barbarian as possibly the best webcomic of the year. We're not ones to argue. [Comics Alliance]

Theater: The Pee Wee Herman musical officially opened last night. It's awesome. Go see it. [CNN]
