Live bat released in theatre during "The Batman" screening

Someone at a movie theatre in Austin, Texas, added to the ambiance by releasing a live bat during a screening of "The Batman."

Reports say someone was playing a prank and meant no harm.

When the audience noticed the bat flying around, the movie was paused, and animal control was brought in to make sure the animal and spooked humans weren't hurt.

The theatre had to be kept dark to lure the small crusader, so anyone who felt uncomfortable was asked to leave.

Otherwise, they could sit back and enjoy the show.

Most weren't bothered enough by the nocturnal creature and stayed to watch the rest of the movie.

The Weeknd is on the Simpsons

It's an honour for any celebrity.

The Weeknd is adding Simpson's character to his list of accomplishments.

The recording artist will make a guest appearance on an upcoming episode of "The Simpsons."

He'll voice a character named Orion Hughes on the march 20th episode called "Bart the Cool Kid."

It's the Weeknd's first time on "The Simpsons," but he has cartoon experience.

A few years ago, he played himself on an episode of American Dad,
and even co-wrote the song "I'm A Virgin" for the episode.

Pamela Anderson lands lead in Chicago Musical

Pamela Anderson is heading to Broadway as she takes on the lead role in "Chicago."

Anderson plays Roxie Hart, a woman who gets sent to prison after killing the man with whom she was having an affair.

In a press release, Anderson said, "Playing Roxie Hart is a dream fulfilled."

She added, "There is a freedom, a unique joy in knowing it's all about the work; playing Roxie Hart is a sweet escape for me."

The eight-week limited run is on Broadway's Ambassador Theatre from April 12- June 5.

The musical recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.
