Val Kilmer is set to be the new Governor of New Mexico.The actor - who famously starred as the Caped Crusader in 'Batman Forever' in 1995 - is the favourite to replace current governor Bill Richardson when he steps down from the position in 2011.Richardson said: "I like the idea. Val Kilmer is a New Mexican, he was Batman. You know there have been successful actors going into politics. "I haven't talked to him about it, I don't know how serious he is, but you know if he jumps in a race he's got name ID, so it can't be discounted."Val wouldn't be the only actor to move into politics.Arnold Schwarzenegger has been the Governor of California since 2003.Arnie recently admitted he will have no regrets about leaving the acting industry when the fourth Terminator movie 'Terminator Salvation' is released next year.

After recently watching "Tombstone" for the zillionth time (LOVE that film) it did make me wonder: "Whatever happened to Val Kilmer?"
What a trip.

As he once said to Johnny Ringo..."I've got one for each of ya!" I think Val would be a good Gov., let's just hope he runs as an (I) or (R). We don't need another (D).
Isn't that a daisy...
