Batman update. Why so serious, er, tacky?


I gotta say, there would have been a time and a place for Christian Bale's sister to ask for some dough ($200K - how random) to "raise her kids". Seriously, the night before the UK premiere of the biggest movie ever? Those ladies are lucky he invited their freeloading asses, from what I've read. Every family has a beggar. I mean, the Dorchester is pretty swank - they should have stolen the Molton Brown products and ordered lots of room service. Sorry - just kidding. I hate when people judge me, so I shouldn't do it them. No one knows what really happened.

They can sell their stories to Harvey Levin or "OK" and make $200K. Don't think THAT won't happen.

I keep going back to the fact that his mom was a circus clown and such. It's an unconventional childhood to be sure, but my general feeling is that there was a rift after the parents' divorce (he sided with his late father), he invited them to the premiere as an olive branch and Mom and Sis went, er, batty. Obviously, I am reading in between the lines and it does not seem like a physical assault ensued. I would never ever excuse such behavior because of the hotness that is Mr. Bale.

He and his wife seem to comport themselves with dignity and quietude. As for all this talk that actors are tortured and stressed out a-holes, well, some are, but I feel like the timing was poor. Next time, have Mr. & Mrs. Bale and the grandchild 'round for Sunday dinner and ask him when he's full of Yorkshire Pudding. That may go over better.
