For the video, keep on reading.

Hundreds of fans lined up at Navy Pier tonight to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars at The Dark Knight red carpet event. While waiting in anticipation fans chanted “Batman” and names such as Michael Caine. Once the stars arrived, Marcus got up close and personal with the actors and creators of the movie. The line up included Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Charles Roven, and Christopher Nolan. All seemed thrilled to be in Chicago once again where they filmed much of The Dark Knight. While this screening and after party for The Dark Knight was a private event that included a hefty price tag, Oldman and Nolan, the honoree of then night, didn’t mind stopping by the crowd of fans to sign a few autographs before the screening. To see what these stars and brains behind The Dark Knight had to say tune into Metromix this Friday at 7, 8, and 9pm to see Marcus’s exclusive interviews.
And that’s just the beginning of The Dark Knight excitement on this episode of Metromix. First up, Marcus stopped by some of the famous filming spots for The Dark Knight in Chicago. Then Marcus tells us what he thought about the movie during his review segment, The Leshock Value. Tune in to find out if it’s worth the hype!?

The Stork Visits Jolie and Pitt... Again

babies

If you haven't heard yet... the loooong wait for the twins is over! E! Online reports that Angelina gave birth to her bouncing babies Saturday night in Nice. Brad, of course, was by her side to welcome their new son and daughter. And in keeping with celeb tradition, ordinary names were out of the question. The couple welcomed baby boy Knox Leon and their baby girl Vivienne Marcheline.

Dr. Michel Sussmann told E! News, "Both of the babies are adorable and in excellent health and everyone's content and getting some much deserved rest."

And so the bidding war begins for pictures of the newborn babies and one question remains, will we see a 7th bundle of joy for Bradgelina?
