STRICTLY Come Dancing only kicked off last night, but fans think they already know who will be booted off the show first. The new series of the hit BBC One show launched yesterday, with the celebrity pairings revealed.

Louise Fletcher, a late-blooming star whose riveting performance as the cruel and calculating Nurse Ratched in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” set a new standard for screen villains and won her an Academy Award, has died at age 88.Fletcher died in her sleep surrounded by family at her home in Montdurausse, France, her agent David Shaul told The Associated Press on Friday. No cause was given.After putting her career on hold for years to raise her children, Fletcher was in her early 40s and little known when chosen for the role opposite Jack Nicholson in the 1975 film by director Milos Forman, who had admired her work the year before in director Robert Altman’s “Thieves Like Us.” At the time, she didn’t know that many other prominent stars, including Anne Bancroft, Ellen Burstyn and Angela Lansbury, had turned it down.“I was the last person cast,” she recalled in a 2004 interview.

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans were left irked by the reaction of contestants as the 20th series launch played out. All too familiar with the format, BBC One viewers watched the Strictly professionals squeal with excitement when they discovered their new celebrity pairings.

Cromwell and Gunn will recur, while Boutsikaris, Hernandez, and Pulsipher will be series regulars. Along with Farrell, previously announced cast members include Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Amy Ryan. Exact plot and character details for the show remain under wraps, aside from the fact that it is described as a genre-bending contemporary take on the private detective story set in Los Angeles.

Fans often attempt to compare different versions of comic book characters on the big screen as portrayed by different actors. Recently, Danny Devito weighed in on who played the superior version of Batman villain, The Penguin.

Danny DeVito has anointed himself as the «better» Penguin character. Sorry, Colin Farrell! The 77-year-old actor made the revelation while in the middle of a lie detector test for, which tasked the legendary actor's daughter, Lucy, to fire away with a ton of questions. She starts with a couple of softballs, just to calibrate the lie detector machine, and then the fun begins.After he's asked about the best actor ever to portray Batman (more on that later), DeVito's asked «What about this Penguin,» as Lucy slides a photo of Farrell's headshot.«Oh, Colin? I love Colin,» DeVito says.

Danny DeVito is sharing his true thoughts on Colin Farrell‘s performance as Penguin in The Batman… and we know they are true because he made the comments during a lie detector test!

Vanity Fair segment, he wasted no time sharing his two cents.“Oh, Colin? I love Colin. He’s a terrific guy. My Penguin was better,” DeVito said.“Was that the truth?” he then asked the text’s administrator, who confirmed he was not lying.

Ethan Shanfeld Many actors have taken a stab at playing the Penguin (aka Oswald Cobblepot) over the years, but Danny DeVito’s strange, hilarious and grotesque turn as the Gotham City mobster in “Batman Returns” has stood the test of time. Most recently, Colin Farrell put a darker spin on the villain in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” starring Robert Pattinson. Hooked up to a lie detector test for Vanity Fair, DeVito was forced to share his opinion on Farrell’s performance, saying: “I love Colin. He’s a terrific guy. My Penguin was better.” DeVito then looked over at the polygraph examiner and asked, “Was that the truth? It most certainly was. In my opinion.” Both actors personified the Gotham villain in distinct contexts, with DeVito embodying Tim Burton’s gothic camp style and Farrell operating within the moody noir of Reeves’ pic.
