On the wake of Christian Bale’s arrest for assault this week, Comedy Central quickly whipped up a game that keeps Batman on his toes. Help Christian escape those pesky cops who are out to put him away for the assault allegation filed by his mother and sister. Hop over fire hydrants and dumpsters – but don’t end up like Christian, who spent four hours in a London jail and was released pending further inquiry.
Ohhhhhhh – so this is why Christian Bale screamed at his mom and sister and physically pushed his mother out of his hotel suite. Apparently Bale, though he appears all soft spoken and sensitive, has a terrible temper and has blown up on numerous film sets. Combine this with the fact that the actor is estranged from his mother and sister due to his parents’ divorce, and it becomes clear why things got a little heated last weekend. Apparently Bale’s mom and sis showed up to ask their famous kin for some cash to help support a business venture, and Mr. Short Fuse freaked out. Then, because England is awesome, he got arrested and now his mom is peddling the story to – what else – earn a few bucks. Nice plan, Mama Bale! [Sun Times]
The Dark Knight just got darker. Batman star Christian Bale was arrested today, after his mother and sister accused him of assaulting them Sunday night. The battle alleged went down in his suite at the Dorchester Hotel, and while cops knew of the charges over the weekend, they chose to arrest him after the London premiere (seen looking like a pissed off family beater at the premiere in the pic above). A source defended that decision, saying, “It was a very difficult situation but it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth.”
Or it would have made the premiere f*cking awesome, guys. Learn how to ruin celebrities for the greater good! It’s not like the movie is hurting for cash, but any publicity helps, right? [The Sun]
The stars came out to pay tribute to the late Heath Ledger at the New York City premiere of The Dark Knight last night. Gossip Girl stars and on-and-off screen lovers Penn Badgley and Blake Lively made it a date night. The Dark Knight cast members as well as Hills star Lauren Conrad walked the red carpet. Ledger family attendees included Heath’s father Kim and stepmother Ines, mother Sally Bell and her husband, and Heath’s older sister Kate. Father Kim gave the film a thumbs-up when he left the movie, which had a tribute at the end to the late Heath.
