Strange, strange story... Hope there is nothing to it, but if so, consider me "out on Bale"...

[conversationpc]

I've just been seeing stories about it on the evening news. Nothing coming out of Hollyweird really surprises me these days.

Breaking: Reports out of England say Christian Bale is being accused of assault by his mother, Jenny, 61, and sister, Sharon, 40. They went to a police station in Hampshire yesterday to file the complaint, stemming from a Sunday night incident, yet Bale attended the Dark Knight premiere last night in London. He's expected to be questioned today. Stay tuned on this one.

Ahh... didn't see it. I usually try to scan the topics before posting any breaking news items, but didn't think to look there.

It didn't get any notice in that thread. I brough the link here since the news article was from a different source.

Says he was released and not charged .... I won't be making any judgments on this one till (and if) the whole story comes out.


Seems very odd though

My thoughts exactly, and that's why I'm really kinda taking it like the Rikki Rockett rape charge case... It sounded bizarre and he never seemed the type. Turned out to be a very strange story involving someone impersonating him, and the victim decided to extort the real Rikki or something.

I'm not making any judgments, either. Bale seems like a pretty well-rounded guy.

Yeah, I also heard today that apparently there's some bad blood between him and his Mom from way back (seems he chose his Dad over her to live with back in the day). He denies it, and he was released...it is odd timing, though.

Even if is it true, a shoving match is hardly what I consider a big woo. What family hasn't gotten down in the mud from time to time?

Maybe they're pissed he's not sending some of the $ their way and makin shit up. Maybe Bale's getting deep into recreating his Patrick Bateman character for the long-awaited REAL follow-up to American Psycho. Who knows. His mom looks like a bitch in the pic. Probably a lie.

American Psycho is one of my all-time faves! Hell, I even liked the sequel!

If they are lying, would be far from the first time isolated family members have tried to capitalize and grab 15 minutes of fame by pulling a stunt like this, or writing an "unauthorized" bio.

They're probably Heath fans and were dogging on Bale about Ledger totally owning his ass in the movie.

Apparently only a verbal 'assault' which for some reason is now illegal in the UK so I had better watch what I say to people from now on!

Here's an update from PerezHilton.com

"Something smells a little fishy in the Bale family and we don't think it's Christian!

Mommy Jenny Bale and sister Sharron have finally spoken out about Christian's arrest and said an "incident" had taken place on Sunday but refused to give any details.

Batman's sis originally denied knowing anything about it but then said, "OK, there was an incident but the police are dealing with it. It is an extremely sensitive situation. There is nothing more I can say."

The alleged assault was believed to have taken place on Sunday night at the fancy Dorchester Hotel, where Bale was staying ahead of The Dark Knight's London premiere on Monday.

Christian is denying any wrongdoing.

Momma Jenny said, "Yes I was there and yes there was a family situation but the police are handling it and I cannot say anymore at the moment. We didn't call the police to the scene. I can't say anymore but we didn't call the police."

Mom and sis reportedly went to a police station in Hampshire to make the allegation, which was subsequently referred to the London's Metropolitan Police.

Sounds like some people were conspiring to us!

At the age of 17, Christian left his former circus clown and dancer mom and sisters in Wales to live with his animal/environmental activist dad in LA.

The senior Bale died from a brain tumor in December 2003 and Christian was at his bedside.

Since moving to LA he has only been back to Wales once.

Sounds like mom and son don't exactly have a close relationship to us!

But, in a previous interview, Jenny, the former clown, said her famous son had never shunned or snubbed her.

Did mom and sis go up to London from Wales to stir things up with Christian?

Makes us wonder!"

Here's an update from www.wwtdd.com -

There's no easy way to sum up all the theories and reports on Christian Bale right now, after he was arrested yesterday on assault charges filed by his mother and his sister, but today sources close to Bale tell the Daily Mail that at no point did Bale ever lay a finger on anyone. They say Bale lost his temper after his mother insulted his wife during an argument in a London hotel, and Bale was more or less trapped there because of a swarm of fans and paparazzi outside. They go on to say that Bale has been in a deep depression ever since the death of his friend Heath Ledger, and this has made him moody and short-tempered, even more so now with the release of "The Dark Knight". The Mail says:

Sources close to the actor said he 'flew off the handle' at London's Dorchester hotel after Jenny Bale said 'some outrageous things'.
However, a source close to the 34-year-old actor says Bale is confident he’s done nothing wrong, and blames his mother.
The source said: ‘Christian was stressed, but he didn’t lay a finger on anyone. Instead, he flew off the handle and cussed his mother. He just got very loud because his mother was saying some very outrageous things about him and his wife.’
‘Normally Christian would just call a friend and go out to a pub to cool off. But he was literally trapped into this confrontation with his mother and sister because there was an army of fans and paparazzi outside.’
The source also claimed Bale had been deeply affected by the death of Ledger.
A friend said: 'Christian pretends he's calm and collected but you really started to see the cracks in his façade in January, right after Heath Ledger had died.
'Christian was in the middle of a very brief break from work when he heard the news, and it was massive blow to him.
'They had become very close during the making of The Dark Knight and Christian went into virtual hiding for the six weeks after Heath was found dead.
‘He wasn't returning phone calls and he wasn't a happy man. It's foolish to think that he's been able to completely shake off that grief just as Heath and his work is finally being seen by audiences.
'He expected to share this moment with his friend, and now he can't.

Keep in mind that 100 percent of all women are crazy, so just because he got into a fight with his mom doesn’t necessarily means he’s a lunatic, as long as he didn’t hit anyone. Also keep in mind that if you would like to appear taller, jumping can help, albeit briefly.

"Batman"...lol.
