Christian Bale may be thrilling movie-going audiences this weekend as Batman in The Dark Knight but he’s also about to take on another movie franchise as a different kind of hero. Terminator: Salvation, the 4th movie in the franchise, opens in theaters next summer but the first trailer for the film is showing ahead of showings of The Dark Knight. Here is one of the first promo pics to be released from the film:

Something tells me that Mr. Bale has a hero complex ;) To be honest, I have no problem with Christian playing both Batman and John Connor. The man is a great character actor, I think he’ll be great in the new Terminator movie (movies?). After the jump, check out video and a few screencaps from the first teaser trailer for Terminator: Salvation …

Eva Longoria (who recently got herself a haircut from her husband Tony Parker) and BFF Vicki B. stepped out on the town last night to enjoy dinner together at Eva’s Hollywood eatery Beso … here are a few pics of the almost identical duo:

Who’s responsible for Eva Longoria’s short new do? Husband Tony Parker! “Tony cut my hair!” the actress, 33, tells Entertainment Tonight. “I had to cut my hair for the show because Gabrielle has short hair,” she says. “I wore a wig in the last episode, but I didn’t want to wear a wig this whole season, so I was like, ‘I’m going to cut it!’” She says her hairstylist Ken Paves forced Parker to make the first move. “He said, ‘Tony, you’re going to do the first cut, so she can’t be mad at me,’” she says. “Tony did the first snip. He did more and then he did more and then Kenny cleaned it up.”

Clearly, Eva and VB have been hanging out too much. They’re starting to look the same. Mebbe Eva is actively trying to become VB … she’s got the sports star husband and the haircut … all she needs is a new set of over-sized plastic breasts and a personality lobotomy and she’ll be all set. Careful what you wish for, Eva.

Last weekend we got our first look at Heidi Montag’s new Club Collection from her Heidiwood for Anchor Blue clothing line and today we get our first look at another clothing line from another celeb-type person. Avril Lavigne has teamed up with Kohl’s to offer a line of clothing called Abbey Dawn that is “inspired” by Avril’s fashion sensibility. Essentially, a line of faux punk clothes at affordable prices … just in time for your Back to School shopping needs. In fact, Kohl’s teamed up with a bunch of other musicians for other clothing lines inspired by those folks as well. Here are a few pieces from Avril’s Abbey Dawn line:

Kohl’s Department Stores today announced its 2008 back-to-school marketing campaign designed to appeal to a cross-generational group of shoppers. The campaign will be “Inspired by the Artists…worn by you.” The campaign will feature strong-performing juniors’ and young men’s denim brands connected with relevant musical artists, including: Lenny Kravitz and Levi’s; Avril Lavigne designing Abbey Dawn; Hayden Panettiere and Candie’s; Plain White T’s and Urban Pipeline; The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Tony Hawk; and Vanessa Carlton and So. The cross-generational program is designed to appeal not only to teens, but also to mothers, as both groups influence purchasing decisions. Denim will be the common thread throughout the “Inspired” campaign. “The ‘Inspired’ campaign is an idea that taps into the dynamic convergence between fashion, music and culture,” said Julie Gardner, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Menomonee Falls-based Kohl’s Department Stores.

Calling all complicated SK8R Girls, THESE fashions are for YOU! Clearly the pink capri sweats are the perfect things to wear for every occasion … especially if you want people to throw rocks at you :)

OY! Yesterday was a very long day … since I only got 4 hours sleep the night before, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to make it thru the day … but fortunately there was enough exciting stuff to take care of to keep me going. At long last, I finally took possession of my new 2009 VW Tiguan crossover! All my life I’ve only had small, sporty cars so this time around I wanted to get something a bit bigger but still sleek and cool. I was looking for a crossover (SUV coupe) and was very happy to learn that VW *just* came out with their own crossover model. I am a big VW fan, I can’t bear to part with my VW Beetle (which is back home in Detroit) so I was very happy that I had a new VW option this time around. I placed the order in May and the car arrived from Wolfsburg, Germany Thursday … and I got to bring my baby home yesterday:

I am so happy … the car is sharp as hell :) I didn’t have much time to play with it cuz last night a bunch of us got together for Mike’s birthday dinner at Bella and party at Paul and Corey’s … here are a few pics:

The night was very chill, very fun. Mike’s friends Blair, Adam and Eric (along with his sister Jill and brother Jeff) joined us for the festivities as did Darion’s friend Cameron. A great time was had by all.

Today, I’m keeping holed up in my apartment … I have to pack for NY/London/Paris and take care of a million other things before I fly out tomorrow. I feel so fortunate to have great friends in my life. I’m looking forward to traveling with David and seeing Steph and Alek in France. I gotta say, I life is good …

The new issue of Entertainment Weekly is devoted primarily to a preview of the San Diego Comic Con which runs next weekend but there are other great previews and spoilers in the new issue as well. Here is a promo pic of Nicole Richie from her upcoming guest star stint on the NBC show Chuck, wherein she plays a “bitchy mean girl” cheerleader who comes back guns blazing:

I don’t watch the show but I am intrigued that they asked Nicole to play a role like this. She looks great. I will deffo keep my eyes open for this particular ep (scheduled to air in October) cuz I kinda want to watch Nic kick some ass.
