*I could really work for the New York Post. That's not a good thing.
Christian Bale, star of The Dark Knight, was arrested today for allegedly beating up his mom and sister. He was released after a few hours and, of course, denies all claims of abuse.
I don't know if he did it or not, but have you seen his mom and sister? They totally had it coming.
My favorite part of this whole story is this excerpt from the above-linked article: "The actor was arrested hours after he attended the London premiere of The Dark Knight. The British paper, The Sun, claimed police did not question the actor Monday because they did not want to interfere with the premiere."
Now, granted, Bale wasn't accused of killing anyone, but still. If you go to the trouble of making a formal complaint to the police that someone assaulted you, you'd like to think that it would be followed up on pretty quickly, right?
I can just imagine the talk down at the police station that day. "Aw chief, I don't want to arrest Batman! Especially not today. I mean, I bought these movie tickets, like, two months ago!"
EDIT: I realize that since Bale was arrested in the UK, the policeman's lament would have been more along the lines of, "Oh bollocks, commander! I shan't pinch Batman today! Not on your Nellie! I procured these bloody film passes yonks ago!"

In these matters, it's often the victims who don't want the police to embarrass the celebrity relative. I'ts kind of complex sometimes .
Okay, so that didn't work as well as I had hoped it would. Whatev.
POW
BASH
ZING
And doesn't the fact that the authorities only questioned him and didn't file any charges suggest that they have very little on him?
Evidently, you can't yell at people there. How weird is that?! How do they get anywhere in traffic?
