Heath Ledger to play the Joker in new Batman film

by Amy

Mark your calendars for Summer 08. That’s when Brokeback hottie Heath Ledger fills Jack Nicholson’s shoes as the Joker in the Batman sequel The Dark Knight. The choice is hardly intuitive, as Ledger will likely take an entirely different approach to the creepy role than Nicholson did.

The film which is set to premier in July 2008 will be directed by Batman Returns and Memento chief, Christopher Nolan, so it should be pretty awesome…wait, oh sorry wrong story, Leona Helmsley died yesterday. She won’t be in Batman but she is known as the queen of mean and did reportedly say “We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.”

Despite this, Helmsley did try and turn her life around. Her charitable activities included a $25 million gift to New York Presbyterian Hospital, $5 million to Katrina relief and $5 million to help the families of firefighters after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. No word how much she donated to Mary Kay Cosmetics.
