Ledger tipped for Oscar after NY Batman premier

Heath Ledger looks all but certain to scoop a posthumous Academy Award after legends such as two-time Oscar winner Sir Michael Caine tipped him to win for his role as Joker.
Caine, who co-stars in the new Batman film Dark Knight with Ledger, made his comments as he joined Ledger's family at the film's premiere in New York.
He made his prediction to the Academy to reward Ledger for his role as the villain, saying: 'I'll be surprised if he doesn't win the Oscar. He'll get my vote anyway.'





Ex-cons become chart toppers

The members of Squad 13 met while serving time at Kazichene prison in Bulgaria near the capital Sofia and started writing songs.
They were released from jail and their first single No One Next To You has become a huge hit.
The jailbirds are now planning a nationwide tour.
