Cher and Nicki Minaj’s fans have been fighting in the most unlikely Twitter War of all. Cher was alerted by one of her followers “@cher did you know that b-tch @NickiMinaj dissed you in her song DIDITONEM?” referring to a line that says “If you could turn back time--Cher/You used to be here but now you gone—Nair”. Not like Cher even cared: “I’ve seen lots of people come & go! No biggie!”

Dita Von Teese has been called many things over the course of her unlikely ascension to the mainstream, but she’s rarely accused of being dull. That’s partly why we love following the actress, author, and performer on Twitter. In the last month alone, she's revealed her love for Boys Noize, her favorite new restaurant in London, her dinner companion in the English capital, and even posted a link where one can buy her 1939 Chrysler New Yorker on eBay. Next week, Von Teese, who's been busy filming scenes for her January 13 debut on CSI: Los Angeles, will hold court at West Hollywood’s Roxy for a three-night mini-residency. We thought it was time to get the goods on what fans can expect at the Dec 13-15th engagement, not to mention her take on Cher’s Burlesque. Check it out after the jump.

Are you still holding onto that list of possible Batman replacements? Superb. Because we just may need to consult it, as Christian Bale stated that if Chris Nolan doesn't come back to direct the next installment of the superhero saga, then he won't return to star in it -- although the airtight legalese in his contract negotiations mandates it. But even if Nolan does back out, the franchise has a willing and able villain in Johnny Depp, who is interested in stepping in as the Riddler, a role previously occupied by Jim Carrey and initially by a guy that more recently played a character named Reverend Love on General Hospital.

It’s always good to do at least one thing on your trip that you can tell your boss about.
