Christian Bale pleads for privacy

Here's a few more nibbles on the carcus of the Bale family feud. Batman, or rather, actor Christian Bale spoke briefly to reporters Thursday on the red carpet  in Spain about his recent arrest over assault allegation filed by his mother and sister. “It’s a deeply personal matter,” the Dark Knight star, 34, said at at a press conference for the movie in Barcelona, Spain. “I would ask you to respect my privacy in the matter.” Yeah, that’ll happen.

Bale spent four hours in a London police station on Tuesday and was  released pending further inquiry. He denies the allegations. Meanwhile, Hollywood gossips are reporting to TMZ that just a few days before the family incident, Bale showed an explosive temper on the set of the new "Terminator 4," chewing out a cinematographer for messing up a shot. Christian, have you seen Russell Crowe lately? You two might need to talk
