Christian Bale has been released on bail after being questioned by police for four hours. His mother and sister have filed assault charges against him. According to the article, he may have pushed one of them during an argument.
I think he needs to take a break from the dark, serious roles for a while and star in another musical.

Damn it! I was really hoping this was just some insane false news story that MSN had been sucked in by.
Now it's been picked up by the BBC news website I may actually have to give it credence. sigh.

i've heard it probably was nothing. mother and sister(who he doesn't really like) hit him up for money. he asks them to leave his suite pushing his mother to get her to move a little quicker(how hard is probably the question here). they then go to the police to file a complaint.
now there's a story circulating that they are trying to sell the story to the tabloids. if it's true, it doesn't really make me sympathize with the mother and daughter much.

I kinda figured money had something to do with it. How awful. I don't have much sympathy for the mother and sister either if what you're saying about the tabloids is true.
When I was a kid, I had the biggest crush on Bale in "Empire of the Sun." I watched it, like, a hundred times. The same can be said for "Newsies" and "Swing Kids."
