I’m going to see Batman tonight!! I wouldn’t dare brave the lines over the weekend, so I went and saw “Mama Mia” on Friday instead. I loved EVERY MINUTE OF IT! It was such a FUN movie! I can’t wait to see it again!
Anyway, I’m going to see Batman tonight at 6:30. What did you guys think? I can’t wait!

Christian Bale warned off stars including Ewan McGregor to ensure he landed the lead role in American Psycho – because he had already beaten Leonardo DiCaprio to be in with a chance of winning the part.
The British actor, who stars as Batman in forthcoming film The Dark Knight, was ecstatic when DiCaprio dropped out of the running for American Psycho – and was determined that no-one else should land the movie role.
He tells British newspaper The People, “I had to make a decision either to accept I wasn’t going to get the part because Leo was a much bigger star or do battle.
“I kept saying I was going to play the lead and people wondered if I was losing my mind. It reached the point where the film studio said about me, ‘Don’t mention his name again.’ But when Leo dropped out, the film company said, ‘Let’s call that crazy guy who keeps telling everyone he can play the lead.’ I even warned other actors off – including Ewan McGregor. I was not going to be bullied out of the part – I was going to stand up for myself and fight.
I’m not typically into action/violent films. I prefer the romantic comedy, indie, drama, or suspense film. BUT with that said, I am a SUCKER for the Terminator movies. I cannot tell you how excited I am to see this new Terminator movie, “Terminator Salvation”.
Of course this begs the question, can Christian Bale do wrong? Me love him long time. 5 minutes, that’s all I’d need.
Christian Bale has credited his wife Sibi with keeping him grounded in Hollywood.
The British actor often shuns the industry’s party lifestyle, preferring to stay at home with his wife of eight years and their daughter Emmaline, three.
And Bale says he owes his clean-living attitude to his wife.
He says, “It could have easily gone so wrong for me in Hollywood. The moment you have success, people tell you that you’ve made the big time. I’d been living a rootless life, working on films – without a home to go to. Then I met Sibi on a beach in California and we got talking. Sibi has such a great attitude to life and understands how I like to approach acting and my private life. She’s my secret weapon.”
I cannot wait to see this movie! It’s going to be sad, and dark…but I’m gonna love it!

Christian Bale, who plays Batman in ‘The Dark Night‘ movie, takes a walk with his wife, Sibi Blazic, on Park Avenue in New York City. Just a few blocks away from their hotel the gorgeous couple was spotted by autograph seekers and the paparazzi, who surrounded them. Christian wasn’t bothered at all, and took time to sign autographs for every person who asked.
One word: delicious! I’ve had a crush on him since I was like 8.
Christian Bale only agreed to play the Caped Crusader for a second time because he wanted to impress his daughter.
The actor first played the superhero in 2005′s Batman Begins and his second turn in The Dark Knight hits cinemas later this month.
But Bale is not a fan of the “crazy” stunts he is required to take part in for the Batman movies – and admits he only continues with the role to make three-year-old Emmeline proud.
He says, “People will say, ‘Why is he still doing this crazy s**t?’ But I’m OK with that. I’d like my daughter to see me do these things, as I saw my father do some crazy things and learnt to appreciate it. My philosophy isn’t so much, ‘Do what I do.’ It’s more, ‘Whatever you do, do it completely. Don’t do it half-arsed. Do it more than anybody else would.’”
Emmeline is Bale’s only child with his wife of eight years, Sandra Blazic.
