mellafe, I heard the same thing too about the new Terminator flick. "Christian Bale is in final negotiations to play the role of John Connor in the upcoming Terminator 4 movie, it has been confirmed. It was rumoured that the Batman Begins actor would star in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins in the role that was played by younger actor Nick Stahl in the previous film. Now the rumors have been confirmed and Bale is said to be in final talks to sign up for the McG-directed movie. No details have been given about the film but because of Bale and Stahl’s relative ages, it is thought the fourth film in the franchise will be set a long time after the third one. It is also rumored that Connor’s character will only be a supporting role rather than the lead." - Digital Spy

Ooh, another role for Amy Sedaris?! Thanks for the update! Wow - a song about each of the presidents? That should be interesting!

Has there even been a female Superbowl performer since the Janet debacle?? I can't remember if there has been. I think the NFL and their TV affiliates have decided to cater to their old man audience. I was at the season kickoff game, and I was kinda bummed that because we were in our seats at the dome to watch gameplay, we had to listen to John Mellencamp perform and not Kelly Clarkson out in the circle downtown.

Christian Bale is not playing John Connor. I read somewhere that it has been confirmed that he's going to play a new character (not John or The terminator, either)
