The Dark Knight
Christian Bale's mother Jenny could end up with more money than she asked her wealthy son for! According to the British papers, Bale's mother visited him at his London hotel before the Dark Knight premier and asked for $200,000 and her son balked. This supposedly ignited the argument that led to the dramatic police report. Christopher and his mother haven't been close since his parents separated and he chose to live with his father in LA, while his mother stayed in England. Interestingly, his father later married one of our heroes, Gloria Steinem and died in 2003. Anyway, Jenny has been bombarded with big money offers to tell her story, so she could end up with EVEN MORE than she asked for!
Another Christian Bale theory has appeared that MIGHT explain his temperamental behavior. How do we put this delicately? It's common knowledge that Christian and Heath Ledger were close friends. They were both "intense" actors and seemed to have a lot in common. Both complained of insomnia and had mood swings. Is it possible that they had prescription medications in common also? Mothers HAVE been known to be highly critical of these things. Heath Ledger's drug problems separated him from HIS family - that's all we're going to say. Just thinking out loud.

He's had this stern, controlled look on his face since The Dark Knight opened and the spectacular boxoffice results did NOTHING to change it! The fact that his mother and sister charged him with some sort of abuse in London deepens the mystery. They certainly didn't show up at his premier. We think Christian is sick and tired of fans asking him for autographs and talking incessantly about scene stealing Heath Ledger. If anyone asks Bale one more time "What was it like to work with Heath?" he's going to GO POSTAL! We just hope cameras are there.

Maggie Gyllenhaal must be monumentally stoked- she's just about the only female in The Dark Knight and it's broken all box office records. Even though she had little to do in the film, her price went WAY up. (And suddenly she's being hounded for autographs.) She wore this black dress when she appeared on The Daily Show i in New York. Usually women wear black when they're feeling fat, but in her case that's not applicable.
