CAT'S MEOW

Halle Berry has gotten her paws on one of the most sought-after parts in Hollywood: Catwoman. The Oscar winner has been tapped to play the felonious feline in Warner Bros.'s upcoming Batman spinoff. Ashley Judd and Nicole Kidman had previously been attached to the role, but both eventually passed. Berry's not the first black woman to play Catwoman. That honor belongs to Eartha Kitt, who donned whiskers in the 1960s Batman TV series.
