More and more on this story keeps coming out. The press can't get enough. It's like Christian Bale is the new Britney Spears. :P Now reports are saying that the fight with his sister started after she asked him for money to help raise her children.

"Christian is a very wealthy man and was asked to help his sister out financially.

He was asked to loan her £100,000 but he refused and it caused an almighty row."

In a recent press conference Christian didn't address the situation, but just said,

"It's a deeply personal matter. I would ask you to respect my privacy in the matter."

When a celebrity makes it big, all of a sudden everybody wants a piece.  On one hand, becoming a star is like hitting the jackpot, but on the other hand that doesn't mean that he or she owes anybody anything.  Although family is different.  What do you think?

The Daily Mail is reporting that all the drama started when Christian Bale's mom insulted his wife, Sibi. He supposedly "flew off the handle," after she said" some outrageous things."

"Christian was stressed, but he didn’t lay a finger on anyone. He just got very loud. Christian's attitude is that this was his mother's fault because she became very provocative in an argument they were having," the source added. "Things got out of control and he now says he wishes he just left the room.

Normally Christian would just call a friend and go out to a pub to cool off," the source said. "But he was literally trapped into this confrontation with his mother and sister because there was an army of fans and paparazzi outside."

How awful to have that kind of relationship with your mom and sister. :(

And strain in his marriage is putting stress on Christian as well.

"He has stresses in his marriage," a source told the Mail. "He can have a terrible temper. Instead of lashing out at his wife, he sometimes lashes out at people around him.  His marriage is not perfect, but his relationship with his mother is in much more trouble," they added, saying that Bale is more upset about his mother's words than about having been arrested in connection with the argument.

They're also reporting that Christian is still deeply upset over Heath Ledger's death and trying to shake off the grief.

Thanks Vanessa!

"Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister."

"Mr. Bale who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police. At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale."

-- story is developing! I am on this like a hawk.

TMZ is claiming that the assault was VERBAL. Various outfits are reporting different things. Still waiting for the big picture. 

What?!? Wait, let me just say that again...WHAT?!?

I cannot even believe this. Christian Bale has been arrested for assault, supposedly, after charges were filed by his mother and sister. He "lashed out" at them on Sunday and they took things down to the London police station.

“A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning, by appointment, and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault," a police spokesman told PEOPLE. "He is currently in custody.”

Shocked...

*Update: Christian has been released and will return to the police station for further inquiry in September. 

The gorgeous Christian Bale and his equally beautiful wife Sibi were photographed arriving to LAX with their 3 year old daughter Emmaline yesterday. I imagine we'll see a bit more of them in the future and then we'll go back to hardly ever seeing him.  He's on of the few actors that manage to NOT be in the spotlight 24/7.

IN OTHER NEWS, I saw Batman over the weekend and LOVED IT. It was so long and every part of me was thankful for that except for my bladder. I almost had to make a terrible decision towards the end of the film because nothing was getting me up out of my seat. Oh Heath!!

I'm DYING. Christian Bale looked SO hot at the premiere of Dark Knight. Ethan Hawke on the other hand confused me a little bit with his decision to wear a baseball cap to the event. Hey, to each his own, right?

And I'm dying again because I love, love, loooooove Lauren Conrad's dress. It's a Dolce and Gabbana. For the meager price of just $645 it can be yours too.

Other celebrities in the thumbnails include, Karina Smirnoff, Ed Westwick (yellow tongue), Blake Lively, Penn Bagdley and Mariska Hargitay.

Super hot Christian Bale and his beautiful wife Sibi Blazic were swarmed by photographers while walking down Park Avenue in NYC yesterday. I imagine the paparazzi are going to be in full force since the HIGHLY anticipated, "The Dark Knight" is being released this WEEK. Count me in as one of the millions of people that are SUPER excited about seeing the movie. There is an IMAX theatre near my house that is playing it in 3D! I can't wait...

Ladies, take your time clicking on each thumbnail. Open them as if they were little blue boxes under your Christmas tree. Carefully...with anticipation and savoring every moment of the suspense.

LOVE HIM!

Here is Christian Bale for GQ Magazine. 

I had to throw in the Batman poster on a post talking about Christian Bale. I have little clocks all around my house counting down the seconds until that movie opens. That way, I'm never too far from knowing how much longer I have to wait. :)

For those of you who can't get enough Bale, here are a few outtakes from a recent shoot with Parade Magazine.

ONTD

Some are calling for Heath Ledger's performance in Batman to get altered. It's too bloody, violent, dark... but that's exactly how Heath wanted it says co-star Christian Bale. And to alter it in any way would be a disservice to Heath, his work and everything he stood for. 

"I know there are a lot of people out there who don’t think this movie should be shown. But, if you’re asking my opinion, I think that’s bloody insane. I also think it’s an insult to Heath and everything he stood for.

"I don’t think anything should be cut - I think it’s the movie he wanted to make.  The guy was brilliant. He was a fantastic actor and he put everything into this part. I absolutely know without question that he would have wanted everyone to see it.

"For me, this is a celebration of what he did best - entertain people… Respect the man. This is what he did. This is what he wanted to do."

What do you think? Leave it as is? Or tame it down?
