HOLY ASSAULT CHARGE -- Speaking of the bat... Christian Bale was arrested for the alleged assault of his mother and sister! What?... say it ain't so. I'm reserving judgment on this until I hear the whole story. I've been a fan of Christian's since the Empire of the Sun and I like that he doesn't seek the limelight outside of publicizing his film work. He's pretty low-key in his private life, so this was surprising. But then again, there are many families with secrets. Hope everything turns out okay for all concerned.
