Noomi Rapace, who plays the bisexual hacker and badass Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish versions of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, doesn't think she is the only woman who can the part of the hardcore hacker and overall badass. The Social Network star, Rooney Mara, is slated to bring Lisbeth Salander to life in the American version of the crime series. 

Heather Morris, Brittany from Fox’s hit show Glee, became the latest victim of Hollywood’s notorious cell phone hacker on Sunday night when nude photos of the actress/dancer surfaced online.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara, who plays bisexual hacker bad-ass Lisbeth Salander in the film, looked stunned in a revealing Prabal Gurung dress for the New York red carpet premiere.

Rooney Mara, who plays Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo film adaptation, dishes all the details about her transformation to become the androgynous, bisexual computer hacker in Vogue’s November issue.

The L Word creator Ilene Chaiken’s most recent project, the CBS pilot Quean, about a female hacker, has been axed after it was embroiled in a copyright tug-of-war for bearing too close a resemblance to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo franchise.

The Producers Guild of America announced its picks for the 10 nominees for Best Picture of the Year, and David Fincher’s version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the first part of Stieg Larsson’s Millenium trilogy about bisexual computer hacker and all-around badass Lisbeth Salander, is among the films chosen.

Rooney Mara is Vogue’s November cover girl and she’s also the actress who landed the coveted role of Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher’s version of the international hit The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. While Mara dons dragon glam for her Vogue cover she also chats on video about the experience of taking on the indelible role of the bisexual computer hacker that Noomi Rapace originated.

For American fans of that bisexual badass hacker Lisbeth Salander, the wait is nearly over for the final installment of the films in the Millennium Trilogy based on Stieg Larsson’s wildly successful novels. Swedish actress Noomi Rapace is back as Lisbeth in The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, opening in the U.S. on October 29. Then…there is always the upcoming David Fincher-helmed American version of Tattoo starring Rooney Mara, Daniel Craig and Robin Wright – and then likely countless Nikita-esque iterations on television

Rooney Mara made her first red carpet appearance since drastically changing her appearance to portray Lisbeth Salander in the U.S.movie adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Mara, noticeably thinner and sporting cropped, dark hair and an eyebrow piercing associated with hacker heroine Salander, was in Hollywood for the premiere of Tanner Hall. The indie coming-of-age flick about an all-girls boarding school in New England co-written and co-directed by Tatiana von Furstenberg and out lesbian Francesca Gregorini, former flame of Portia de Rossi.

Lisbeth Salander fans...there could be more! Apparently there is truth to the rumors about the existence of a manuscript for another book in the best-selling Millennuim series by Stieg Larsson. So far the series is a trilogy. However, the newly discovered manuscript may be the fifth book in the series, not the fourth. For fans of the series, which features a badass, bisexual female computer hacker and a male journalist with feminist tendencies, this could be great news if the manuscript sees the light of day. The three books already published - The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest - became a publishing phenomenon with tens of millions of copies in print,

There is a moment in just about every workday when we come across something sexy, gratuitous and completely pointless that we wish we could post but don't under the auspices of there being nothing lesbian about it and often there being no redeeming value. Well, we at SheWired have made an executive decision to just throw any of our pseudo-feminist caution to the wind and to just post our fave shot of the day, whether it be sexy, salacious, or just because... Today’s shot is sure to leave literary lesbos extra excited as it's the very sexy Rooney Mara on W’s cover as hacker heroine/Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Lisbeth Salander.

The least lesbian Oscar nominations ever were announced this morning (caveat-‘least lesbian’ may be an exaggeration, but not by much). There was a dearth of lesbian and bisexual characters on the big screen in 2012, the likes of which have not been seen since Wings won the first Academy Award ever in 1927. Just last year Glenn Close and Janet McTeer were nominated for gender bending roles while Rooney Mara landed a nod for her incarnation of bisexual super hacker Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. 2011 saw a nomination for Annette Bening for her annoying lesbian character in The Kids are All Right (but at least it was something). And in 2009 Penelope Cruz won Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of a fiery bisexual artist in Vicki Cristina Barcelona.

Awards season is in full swing since the Oscar nominations were announced this morning, and there are a few women in lesbian, bi and gender bending roles who scored nominations. For her passion project Albert Nobbs, Glenn Close, who plays a woman living as a man to survive in 19th century Britain, earned a best actress nod. Also nominated in the Best Actress category is Rooney Mara for her portrayal of brooding bisexual computer hacker extraordinaire Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Joining Mara and Close is Meryl Streep for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in out director Phyllida Lloyd’s The Iron Lady. The amazing Viola Davis scored a nod for The Help, as did Michelle Williams for My Week with Marilyn.
