Christian Bale and Sibi Blazic Expecting a Second Child

I’m sure that one of Hollywood’s royal hot-couples-of-the-moment will be placed on official Baby Bump Watch really soon.

Honestly, I’m not sure what the big friggin’ deal is about watching for baby bumps anyway. It’s always the same song and dance.

The tabloids typically report that all of a sudden, a tummy bump has appeared on (insert any random female celebrity’s name here) and one of two things usually ends up happening:

a) The celebrity’s publicist (aka: Handsomely Paid Liar) will deny it and 4 months later, the celebrity will be photographed with what appears to be a smuggled basketball under her expensive designer shirt or;

b) It turns out that the celebrity actually just ate something and *GASP!* happened to get a little bump in her belly.

Christian Bale and Sibi Blazic

However, I admittedly was a little surprised by the news of the possibility that our favorite Caped Crusader and his lovely wife may be expecting child #2, especially with all the recent rumors of them experiencing some trouble in their 8-year marriage out there (who the hell hasn’t had “trouble” in their marriages?).

MSNBC.com reports that a “source” spotted Blazic perusing nursery items in Los Angeles, and then she bought an ivory-colored changing pad.

“People buy items for friends all the time,” says a Bale source. “Doesn’t mean you should read into it.”

Exactly!

Just because I’ve been spotted buying a few cases of beer, a child’s inflatable wading pool, a pallet of strawberry Jell-O, and 20 containers of Cool Whip at my local Costco doesn’t necessarily mean I’m throwing a Jell-O wrestling party this weekend.

Or does it? Hmm….

 

Batman Likes It On Top

Unless you’ve been taking residence with a family of stinky yetis in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains for the past month, you should know all about the blockbuster hit of the summer, The Dark Knight, by now.

This movie just continues to kick serious ass week after week at the box office, no matter what movie tries to defeat its perilous reign:

Step Brothers …… check

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor …… check

Pineapple Express …… check

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 …… um, double check

And if you haven’t seen it yet, shower that yeti stank off because you really DO NEED to go see this movie in a theater setting (IMAX is even better) – it truly is an experience you’ll never forget.

It’s kinda like having sex while eating a heaping tub of buttery, artery-clogging popcorn and washing it down with an over-priced, over-sized cup of Pepsi .

Yeah, it’s just that good. Why do you think I’m going back for thirds this week?

 

“Cursed” Morgan Freeman Recovering from Serious Car Accident

As many of you may know by now, I have a slight obsession deep respect for Christian Bale who is currently starring in The Dark Knight.

So yesterday, I was really sad when I read that Morgan Freeman was involved in a very serious car accident in Mississippi. I believe he’s one of the finest actors around and I loved him in all the movies I’ve seen him in.

The National Enquirer reports that Freeman was driving his lady friend’s 1997 Nissan Maxima late at night when it left the road and flipped several times. Thankfully, both Freeman and his friend were wearing their seat belts however, the car’s airbags didn’t deploy.

Hmmm. Probably because the damned car is so old. Have you ever seen a balloon when it gets really old? It gets crusty. Do you really want to rely on THAT to save your life in the event of an accident? Not me.

Anyway, now all the conspiracy theory numb nuts out there are blaming Freeman’s accident on the curse of The Dark Knight. And in response to that nonsense I scream, “GET A FRIGGIN’ LIFE, LOSERS!”

Sure, a crew member died while filming The Dark Knight when his truck, which was following a stunt vehicle, crashed into a tree. Blame it on bad timing.

Sure, Heath Ledger died back in January from a lethal concoction of sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medications. Blame it on bad luck.

And sure, Christian Bale recently encountered his own problems regarding his money-grubbing sister and mum which resulted in assault charges. Blame that circus on bad family genes.

But tell me, Oh Wise Ones, where in sweet hell have you ever heard of a curse generating almost $400 Million in 17 days?

I don’t know about you guys, but I want to be afflicted with THAT kind of curse.

 

‘The Dark Knight’ Continues to Slaughter Box Office Records

Well, The Dark Knight continues to obliterate box office records by raking in another $75.6 million this weekend. In a mere 10 days, it has amassed $314 million in sales making it the film that earned over $300M the fastest! The previous record holder was Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, which completed that feat in 16 days. Take that, Capt. Jack Sparrow!

If you were paying attention, you may recall that I DID predict that the movie would make over $250M in U.S. sales for the opening week. Not too shabby for an amateur, huh? I’m thinking of buying a crystal ball and setting up a 1-900 number…

I saw TDK for the second time this weekend with my hubby and I have to say, I loved it even more this time around (since I was actually paying attention to the dialog and not trying to identify the filming locations). However, I do admit that I loved watching it at the Chicago IMAX theater the first time much better.

Now don’t get me wrong; it was great on the regular screen, but it just didn’t have the same WOW! factor the IMAX screen possessed. Maybe it was because Christian Bale’s gorgeous face was 3 stories high at the IMAX? Nah, that couldn’t be it.

If for nothing else, The Dark Knight is worth seeing just for the now-famous truck-flipping scene on LaSalle Street. Holy shit, was that amazing or what?! I knew it was coming the second time I saw TDK and I was STILL in awe of that scene. However, I do digress. It was soooo much better watching that scene on the IMAX screen. But, my proverbial hat is still off to Director Christopher Nolan and the DP, Wally Pfister. Well done, boys!

It will be interesting to see if Nolan chooses to do a 3rd movie (he better!) and if there will be any mention of The Joker at all. If you saw the movie, you know that Batman left The Joker hanging (literally) from a skyscraper and then the cops were coming up to get him. So you know that Nolan was setting it up for a 3rd film. Of course, however, he had no idea at that time that sadly, Ledger would not be back for a third movie.

I was thinking, though, that if any other actor would be able to pull off The Joker, I believe that Johnny Depp could do it. He’s one of those weird guys (like Bale & Ledger) that completely immerses himself into his roles, and he’s just such a brilliant actor.

What do you think? Do you think Johnny could pull it off?

 

Leave Christian Bale Alone!

I’m not going to film a silly video supporting Mr. Bale like that wackjob did on Youtube.com for Britney Spears last year. C’mon. Admit it – you watched the damned thing. I know – I loved it too!

However, I AM a huge Christian Bale fan and I’m getting tired of reading all the bullshit headlines for the past 3 days (most of them appearing on TMZ.com – trash of all trash). If TMZ came in paper form, I wouldn’t even use it to line my cats’ litter box, that’s how much (or less) I think of it. I try not to go on that site at all, and haven’t in a long time until this week. I just couldn’t believe all the libelous junk they were “reporting” about Bale’s unfortunate family incident! Scumsuckers.

And for some reason, these rags just LOVE to post the most unflattering pics of our favorite superhero. The man is sinfully handsome and this photo is all TMZ can offer? For real? Wow – talk about hitting a guy right where it hurts.

One of the reasons why I respect Christian Bale is that he never got into all the Hollywood B.S. that other celebs seem to get off on. He’s maintained quite a private life for 20 years in the biz -yes, 20 years! Many people weren’t even aware that he’s been married for 8 years until the recent media circus reared it’s ugly head. (And yes, I know his mom is a clown – that was not an intentional pun. Although, it would’ve been quite clever on my part).

Now in my eyes, that’s the sign of a true celebrity: self-induced anonymity. Not like all the media-whore, has-beens out there that think they’re celebrities. By the way, whomever coined the term “Celebutard” is a natural genius in my book.

We’re all well aware that every family has its problems, especially where $$$ is concerned. So what, he yelled at his mommy (he did not hit her as the rags would like you to believe). Big deal. Who hasn’t?

And to all the so-called “reporters” out there:

Unless you happened to be a fly on the wall and was witness to what actually went down in that hotel room, you need to stop speculating. And I’m sure the “close source” that the rags keep referencing is a “true” friend of Christian’s. TRUE friends don’t dish about their friend’s troubles. They just keep their loyal mouths shut. Period.

I’m confident that this “news” will fade away into the night quicker than Batman escaping on his new Bat Pod (which kicks some serious ass, by the way).

So people – let’s just put this crap behind us and allow this beautiful and talented man do what he does best: entertain us.

And not in the headlines.
