Christian says he is embarrassed and apologizes for his four-minute abusive tirade on the Terminator set.

Click here to listen as he invites everyone “stick a fork” in his backside if he ever acts that way again.  As a lawyer, Popsquire can’t endorse a physical battery like that, but it sure is tempting!

First there was Tom Cruise, then Ann Coulter, but Matt Lauer is moving on to Christian Bale.  Matt and Meredith clearly are not fans!

Christian Bale needs a bail out!

Click here to listen as the actor relentlessly (and inexcusably) screams, curses, and threatens to walk off the Terminator 4 set unless the Director of Photography is terminated.  As you listen, consider whether Bale’s conduct satisfies the following definition of assault:

Assault occurs when one person tries to physically harm another in a way that makes the person under attack feel immediately threatened. Actual physical contact is not necessary; threatening gestures that would alarm any reasonable person can constitute an assault.

Following reports that Christian Bale might have to admit guilt to walk away from his mother’s assault allegations, prosecutors at England’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS - not CHPS!) have determined that there is “insufficient evidence to afford a realistic prospect of conviction, and accordingly the police have been advised that no further action should be taken against Mr. Bale.” According to People, Bale is expected to receive a “caution.”

Without any statement from Bale or acknowledgment that he may have admitted guilt, the resolution of this batty incident remains clouded in as much mystery as the incident itself. For the sake of Bale and his family, let’s hope there is no sequel!

Christian Bale was arrested after yesterday’s London premiere of The Dark Knight for an alleged assault on his mother and sister Sunday night. He voluntarily turned himself in, was questioned, and has been released. Thus far, Bale has not issued any formal response to the charges.

Popsquire will keep you posted!

UPDATE (10:20 a.m. PST): According to TMZ, the alleged assault may have been verbal and not physical. This seems to make sense. If there had been physical violence or any injuries resulting in a hospital visit, the police may have arrested Bale regardless of his big movie premiere. More to come, for sure…

UPDATE: (11:00 a.m. PST): Bale has released this statement…

“Christian Bale attended a London Police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister. Mr Bale who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the Police.

At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr Bale.”

UPDATE (3:30 p.m. PST): TMZ sources say that Bale may have pushed his mom out of the way during the altercation, but that she was not hurt and did not fall down. Further, it’s unclear whether the contact was a “push” or a “brush.”
