Cher This fierce fashionista may be suiting up as Catwoman at 62! Rumor has it, she is director Christopher Nolan’s first choice to play the purring vixen in the next Batman movie.  He wants a vamp that’s adored by younger men—in this case, the younger men may be gay, but hey, she still rocks!

The hit song of the summer, I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry, is the soundtrack for a new sexual revolution. From co-ed LUG’s to Hollywood’s hottest stars, girl-on-girl action is steaming up the streets and screens across the U.S. What publicly started with Madonna kissing Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at the Video Music Awards in 2003, has grown into a full-on, leggings-style TREND.

It’s only natural for a musician or actor to have style, but when those creative juices get passed down to their offspring, the results can be extraordinary. Many young starlets have been catapulted into the public eye by their keen fashion sense and it doesn’t hurt that their parents have paved the way.

And that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz are considering John Mayer for godfather of their unborn child.

Here are some celebs who always seem to date very similar people, and our suggestions for who they should date next.

BOOKS

• Life With My Sister Madonna by Christopher Ciccone Surprisingly enough, the thing we’re excited the most about this week is a book…okay, so it’s not War and Peace obvi, but it is about Madonna!  Written by her brother, (who is gay of course), it’s supposed to be a tell-all that shows the real way to Madonna’s heart isn’t through blood relation, but through her crotch. Duh!  Still we can’t wait to read it!

Hmm, do you think Madonna will be called to testify in this divorce case? She’s got the material, girl.
