Batman star Christian Bale arrested over assault claim by mum and sister

Batman star Christian Bale was arrested today in connection with an assault allegation made by his mother and sister.

Welsh-born Dark Knight actor Bale, 34, was quizzed for more than four hours by cops after attending a London police station this morning.

His arrest followed an alleged complaint made by his mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, at a Hampshire police station which was then passed to the Metropolitan Police for further investigation.

The alleged incident is said to have taken place on Sunday night at Park Lane's Dorchester Hotel where Bale was staying ahead of the premiere of his new Batman movie last night.

Bale was later released on police bail until September and a Met Police spokesman said: "A 34-year-old man attended a London Police Station on Tuesday by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault.

"A man has been bailed to return on a date in September pending further inquiries."

Also posing for the cameras were Maggie Gyllenhaal, who plays love interest Rachel Dawes, and Sir Michael Caine who plays Bruce Wayne's faithful butler and father figure Alfred.

The film took a record $158.3 million in its opening weekend at the US box office overtaking Spiderman 3, which took £151.1 million.

Interest in the film has increased because of the death of Heath Ledger.

His performance as Batman baddie The Joker is already being tipped to land Ledger a posthumous Oscar.

I don't think it's fair or coheesive for them to add in the film has more interest because of Ledger's death. That definitly should not have gone past the editor's desk.

They didn't go to the hospital for medical treatment or anything, and there has been no talk of injuries, so I imagine it was a pretty heated argument in which he might have pushed or grabbed one of them.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I feel the whole thing was blown out of proportion.
