Jessica Biel on Batman's short-list
Jessica BielChristopher Nolan is looking at some of Hollywood’s leading actresses - as well as a few emerging talents - for major female roles in "The Dark Knight Rises," his next Batman film. Sources reveal that Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Biel are due to test for roles in the Warner Bros. superhero tentpole in the next two weeks. Also testing are relative newcomers Kate Mara and Charlotte Riley. Hot British actress Gemma Arterton was also scheduled to test but Arterton just landed the female lead in Paramount’s "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" and might now have scheduling issues. "Dark Knight Rises" needs to fill two big female roles, a villain and a love interest. Sources say one character is Talia, the daughter of villain Ra’s Al Ghul, who was portrayed by Liam Neeson in Nolan’s first Gotham-set crime pic "Batman Begins." In the comic books, Talia is both Batman’s lover and antagonist, ultimately siring his alter ego Bruce Wayne’s son. While Knightley, Hathaway and Jessica Biel are well-known actresses, the other two are up-and-comers. Mara had brief roles in "127 Hours" and "Iron Man 2" in 2010. Her sister Rooney Mara is currently shooting David Fincher’s "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" in the title role.

Riley is a British actress who has done mostly TV work. She is engaged to Tom Hardy, who co-starred in Nolan’s summer smash "Inception" and has already booked an unspecified role in "Dark Knight Rises."

The film is looking at a May start, with shooting to take place in London and Los Angeles. Christian Bale is set to return as the Caped Crusader. However, Nolan and Warner Bros. have declined to comment.

Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Jessica Biel - riskiest celebs to search
Jessica Biel : one of the most dangerous celebs to search onlineIf you're looking for Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts or Jessica Biel online, then you must go through this post.

The movie stars top the latest list of the most dangerous celebrities to search for online, according to new research by computer-security software maker McAfee Inc. It's far from an Oscar, but landing atop McAfee's annual list carries a distinction all its own: It means that criminals believe those celebs are the perfect lures to sucker people into visiting malicious websites.

Clicking onto strange sites is sketchy to begin with. But many people do, and their computers get infected. Once a computer is infected, criminals can steal victims' online banking passwords, e-mail passwords, and do other kinds of nasty deeds. Attaching famous people's names to malicious sites is a well-worn ruse, to fool people looking at search results into thinking they're heading to a legitimate site.

The other most-dangerous celebrities to look for online, according to McAfee, are Gisele Bundchen, Brad Pitt, Adriana Lima, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Heidi Klum, Penelope Cruz and Anna Paquin.

McAfee performed its tests in July using the company's technology for identifying dangerous websites. The rankings measure the likelihood that someone looking for things such as photos and videos of those celebrities would land on a malicious site.

Jessica Biel hates on screen kisses
Jessica BielHollywood actress Jessica Biel hates on screen kissing scenes as she finds them too technical.

The ‘A-Team’ actress who lip locks with Bradley Cooper in the forthcoming action movie, says that the screen kisses are no fun and she finds them unromantic.

"It’s not at all hot. There are so many people around, everyone’s in your face fixing things. It’s very technical and precise. Your face has to be in the right place and the camera has to be at the right angle. So it’s not romantic," said Biel.

‘A-Team’ also stars John Singleton, Sharlto Copley among others and is directed by Joe Carnahan.

Jessica Biel: Most Dangerous Celebrity In Cyberspace
Jessica Biel: Most Dangerous Celebrity In CyberspaceSearching for Jessica Biel on the Internet could prove to be extremely risky for your computer, as she has been named Americas "Most Dangerous Celebrity In Cyberspace" by Internet researchers.

Computer protection company McAfee looked at popular search engines such as Google and Yahoo! in assessing the risk by clicking on celebrity-related website links.

The company has said that cybercriminals are using A-listers’ names and images to lure Internet users who surf the Web for the latest gossip, screen savers and ringtones to "fake" Web sites that look legitimate.

Such sites could be loaded with spyware collecting information about users without their knowledge, and viruses that can infiltrate computers, with the goal of making money and committing ID theft.

They found that Biel was the riskiest US celebrity target, with one in five celebrity websites related to her being potentially harmful.

Second in line as the most dangerous star in cyberspace is Beyonce, followed closely by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady at the third spot.

The survey found that more than 17 percent of websites and web links related to both these stars had some sort of risky content attached.

Jessica Simpson with 17.6 percent of dangerous content on websites dedicated to her stood at the fourth position, while Jennifer Aniston was fifth having 12.3 percent of online risky content to her credit.

"Cybercrooks capitalising on the public obsession with celebrities and current events is nothing new" said Greg Day, McAfee’s principal security analyst.

He added: "A quick flick across the front pages of the latest popular newspapers and magazines offers a fairly reliable snapshot of where the criminals will focus their efforts next."

Here are the top 10 “risky” US celebrities and the percentage of websites related to them, which were found to be potentially harmful:
1. Jessica Biel - 20.1 percent
2. Beyonce - 17.9
3. Tom Brady - 17.4
4. Jessica Simpson - 17.6
5. Jennifer Aniston - 12.3
6. Gisele Bundchen - 15.8
7. Miley Cyrus - 15.5
8. Megan Fox - 15.3
8. Angelina Jolie - 15.3
9. Ashley Tidsdale - 14.9
10. Brad Pitt - 14.8
