Christian Bale Isn't a User

trix — Wed, 13 May 2009 15:32:00 GMT

Christian Bale doesn't need any kind of anything to help him perform. He admits that he was, at one time, tempted to use steroids to build his physique.

He passed up the chance to be a 'roid head and do it all naturally.

The reason he passed it up?

He said, “I called up the store where they’re selling that sort of stuff and asked, ‘Have you used it? And side effects?’ ‘No no. I mean, really minimal. Your balls might shrink and you might get acne.’ I’m like, there’s no way in hell I’m going to touch anything like that and damn those who think I did.”

Ha ha that's funny, he didn't want his junk to shrink. It probably would have made him a little angry and intense. He needs nothing to help him in the intensity department.

Maggie Gyllenhaal's Getting Married

trix — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 22:02:00 GMT

Wow, this is not a good picture of Maggie Gyllenhaal, but it was the picture the New York Post ran. The picture was run with the story that Maggie and Peter are finally going to tie the knot, maybe.

The rumor is that the couple is going to get married in Italy in the second week of May.

That's cool, it should be beautiful this time of year and it will be good for Ramona to be exposed to different cultures and sights.

I'm really jealous, I want to go to Italy too.

Peter Sargaard Is Hardcore About Soccer

Josh loposer — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 19:26:00 GMT

All parents have hopes and dreams about how their kids will turn out, but Peter Sarsgaard is kinda militant about it. He really wants his and Maggie Gyllenhaal's daughter Ramona to enjoy soccer, and he's not taking no for an answer.

“Every child that I have must play soccer. I’m one of those people who’s constantly chipping the ball over the kitchen island trying to land it into a basket of Ramona’s toys — taking out wine glasses and things.”

Being a pro soccer player was apparently Peter's first choice as a career, but he had to fall back on being a movie star instead. Bummer.

I guess it's a good thing that Peter wants to have a common interest with 2-year-old Ramona, but you gotta be a little weary of placing too many expectations on a kid. What if she likes a good American sport? Like football? What if she doesn't give a flip about soccer like the rest of us, and thinks that David Beckham is famous for being Posh's husband?

Will Maggie step in and allow Ramona to be her own person? I'm not too worried, it's kinda hard to imagine Peter being a super harsh parent.

Maggie Gyllenhaal Loves Nature and Fisher Price

trix — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:33:00 GMT

Maggie Gyllenhaal is a very down-to-earth mom. She was able to reconnect with one of her childhood loves.

She presented a check from Fisher-Price to the Wildlife Conservation Society for $250,000.

The Wildlife Conservation Society saves all things wild: animals and wild places.

Fisher Price just went up a notch in my estimation.

Maggie said, “Fisher-Price is such a big part of everyone’s childhood and I am so happy to join forces with them in presenting this generous donation in support of the Wildlife Conservation Society. I remember having one of those Fisher-Price tape players, listening to Cyndi Lauper, walking around my neighborhood. I think especially in New York City, in Brooklyn where I live, it’s important to encourage children to learn about and be a part of nature. It’s difficult to find that in the city. I know from my own childhood that my connection with nature has changed the way I look at the world. I think it’s important to show them how we can and how we must co-exist. They are learning to respect the planet.”

This whole talk about Maggie and nature makes me think of "The Secretary".

Christian Bale is a USC Fan?

The always good-looking Christian Bale was out and about with his wife and daughter in Santa Monica the other day. His wife Sibi was rumored to be pregnant with their second child. What do you think, does she look to have a bump?

Why, oh why, does he have a USC hat on? Does he feel obligated to wear it?

Christian Bale Gets Off Scott Free

trix — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:03:00 GMT

Christian Bale's legal woes are over, at least for the moment. Prosecutors in England suggested that he should be cautioned, not charged so he'll get a slap on the wrist instead fines and imprisonment. According to a statement, "Bale will have to admit guilt to get a caution when he answers bail next month. Cops can still charge him if he refuses."

Well good, I'm glad for him. (just call me Pollyanna) We all have those family members that know exactly how to push our buttons and in a high profile, stressful position, who's to say that we wouldn't react the same way.

In England you can be charged for assault even if you don't lay a finger on someone. It's verbal assault. We need some of that here, I get yelled at all the time at work, over mashed potatoes.

Christian already had a strained relationship with his mother, which is why he went with his dad after they got divorced, but I guess asking for money and saying rude things about his wife was not the route his mother should have gone when trying to make amends.

Who Will Play Catwoman? Hint: NOT ANGELINA!

Karen — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:32:00 GMT

Rumors started by The New York Times and Julie Newmar had Angelina Jolie vying for the role of Catwoman (which would be totally hot. But sadly, untrue.)

Instead, it seems that Christopher Nolan has someone else in mind. It also seems he is off his nut.

The facts: Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart signed on for two Bat-pictures. A source close to Maggie Gyllenhaal confirmed that she’s excited about the next movie, “why else would she, or Katie Holmes for that matter, take on the thankless roll of Rachel Dawson? After Katie left the role, they could’ve created a new character. But that wasn’t part of Nolan’s plan. This is the trajectory he’s planned for Rachel since the first movie. Not only is Maggie contractually obligated, but she’s already getting in shape for Batman 3.”

“It shows Christopher Nolan has imagination that he didn’t cast me as the villain,” said Gary Oldman (Jim Gordon), “since somehow I got into this thing of always playing these eccentric characters. But I always liked the Riddler. I liked the whole Riddle aspect. I loved the suit. I thought the suit was pretty cool. You have to be pretty fit, though, don’t you, to wear the Riddler outfit?”

Same for Catwoman’s outfit, but Maggie Gyllenhaal (Rachel Dawes) is willing to try it on for size. “I liked Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman,” Gyllenhaal said.

“There was alaways a Batman movie out in the summer when I was growing up, but I usually couldn’t care less. But doing this movie, I started to get it. I felt it. I understood.” Especially when she’d had a scene where “Batman would save me from certain death and envelope me with his cape,” she said. “I thought, ‘Oh, that kind of feels good.’ ”

And since Catwoman is sometimes saved by Batman, Gyllenhaal said she wouldn’t mind borrowing one of her nine lives, just to relive that experience. “Yeah!”

Sigh. If this is true, I will cry. Catwoman should be sexy. Maggie is about as sexy as a houseplant. I like her, but she oozes good girl.

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal: Om Will Keep Us Together

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:17:00 GMT

What's the secret to Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal's relationship? Love, with a little bit of downward-facing dog. Couples yoga is apparently the activity of choice for the celebrity pair - and probably a nice way to spend some time alone away from Reese's kids Ava and Deacon.

This sounds completely healthy and soul-fulfilling and all, but what happened to the good old days when couples used to spend quality time in their car on a dark, deserted street? What happened to bonding over a mutual love of bad music and cheap booze?

C'mon, people - get some romance back into your life and trade those meditative moments on a yoga mat for a few hot hours on a tattered mattress.

Paparazzi Are Scumbags to Maggie Gyllenhaal and Baby

Karen — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:12:00 GMT

Maggie Gyllenhaal had a taste of what's it's like to be a new celebrity mom, when baby Ramona was just 5 days old. The paps were so anxious to get a picture of her and the baby, that they called her and told her there was a fire in her building. Scum!

"The paparazzi were just really awful to us. I mean, they called the fire department and told them there was a fire in our little, tiny building in the West Village (New York) so that we would have to come outside with a five-day-old baby."

The false fire alert almost led Gyllenhaal to turn down the role of Rachel Dawes in the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight.

She tells the Los Angeles Times newspaper, "I was trying to navigate my way through that (media intrusion) when this offer came. I thought, 'It's going to push that stuff further probably.' But what am I going to do? I'm going to hide and not do things that are appealing to me? I'm an actress."

Something To Remember Heath By

trix — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 17:18:00 GMT

Heath Ledger will be missed as an actor, and a movie star, but he will be missed most of all, as a father.

Michelle Williams, Heath Ledger's former fiance, wants to make a film about Heath for Matilda. She wants all of his friends and co-stars to share the stories they have and a little bit about Heath as they knew him so that Matilda can grow up knowing the man that her father was. Matilda was so young when he died that she probably won't have any of her own memories of her daddy, Michelle knows this and will do her best to make sure Matilda can keep his memory alive.

In a statement about Heath's early death Michelle said, "I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day."

A loving tribute in a sad situation.

Christian Bale Says, Not My Daughter

trix — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 16:02:00 GMT

Christian Bale cares about his daughter enough to keep her out of Hollywood. He is of the school of thought that kids just don't understand the pressures you face in Hollywood and that kids just aren't equipped to deal with the day to day stress of it.

He told WENN, " I have very strong opinions about why kids should not be working at such a young age, I think introducing children to a professional industry where they may not recognize the pressure is wrong. Very quickly they're going to be under pressure, this is an adult industry, I would be skeptical putting anybody I cared about, who was close to me, in this profession at a young age. I absolutely support it as a hobby and as an amateur pursuit but, to enter into it in a professional world, is a whole different ball game."

Christian Bale entered into the industry at a young age so he may know what he is talking about.

I wonder if he watches Living Lohan or what he thinks of Denise Richards: It's Complicated?

Maggie Gyllenhaal Makes Choices With Ramona In Mind

Maggie Gyllenhaal Makes Choices With Ramona In Mind

trix — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:28:00 GMT

Maggie Gyllenhaal is a different breed of movie star mom.

On one hand she says that having Ramona has made her a better actress but on the other hand she says she would stay home rather than act any day. She says she realizes that motherhood "cracks you open in every way" and changes and deepens everything in your life.

She also says she's more tired than she ever thought she could be. She's also worked harder than ever before. Welcome to motherhood, have another and see how it is to have two, then, you will know tired.

Parenting is all about the highs and lows in life, you can love so much, be so frustrated and "so excited by the tiniest little thing. Everything about it has surprised me. I do think that it’s really difficult to get me away from [Ramona],” she said. “It’s difficult to find a script that’s good enough for me to think, ‘Okay, I really need to do this instead of being with my daughter.’ I think working after a baby is such a personal thing…everyone thinks differently."

Well said Maggie. Did you hear that Jennifer Lopez, it's all about the choices you make?

Cristian Bale/Dark Knight/Bruce Wayne

trix — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 17:49:00 GMT

Christian Bale is the hands down the best Batman/Bruce Wayne. In this Interview with Parade magazine he let's us know how it all happened and what's up next for him.

What have you learned about Bruce Wayne and about yourself in the years between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight?

"About myself, I always remain the last person to know. But with Bruce, what we have is no longer the angry, young man. We have somebody who now finds himself confronted with the responsibilities of power, not the pursuit of it. He has been surprised by the fact that this is clearly not going to be an endeavor with a finite ending. What Batman is all about is a double-sided edge; there's a duality to this character, which makes him still interesting to play in the sequel—I hope in a third. And I'm working with people who are going to inspire but also demand that I come up with something new. I do love the unknown, but there's more to investigate in Bruce Wayne and Batman."

Now you are not only going to be compared to every Batman that came before you, but with your own portrayal as well.

"Right. I've always enjoyed that challenge, anyway. I don't know if I will grow out of it one day. But I still have a love of just being perverse. I don't mean to waste other people's time by being perverse just for the sake of it. But it can be bloody enjoyable at times."

Superheroes are on the scene in a big way. We seem to be in a time when we want some security, someone to save us.

"I always feel completely oblivious to any Zeitgeist that's coming on. Whenever people talk in those terms, I feel absolutely lost. I know certainly what intrigues me. Most of the time, I tend to think it's complete coincidence if other people are interested in it as well. I do find the man that I play, although he's certainly in the superhero pantheon, is the most questionable of superheroes as he doesn't have special powers whatsoever. I think the others may well question his legitimacy to be a member of the club."

Michael Caine is back as Alfred. How would you describe his influence on you?

"Michael is grace under fire. When I think about him, I think about surfing, which is all effort for me, I get out and battle the waves and I'm exhausting myself. Then you see people who are riding multiple waves in the time it's taken me to fight out there and feel like I'm drowning. Michael's like that. He makes it look effortless."

You can't talk about Batman without discussing the famous suit, and you've been candid about your complaints. Have they done anything to make it more comfortable?

"Thank God, yes, they have. I'm so appreciative of that. The first movie was like having a vice tightened around my skull for months on end. Which I convinced myself only helped me to portray the rage that this alter ego, Batman, felt. I thankfully discovered that I didn't need that vice squeezing my head to portray that rage this time around. They were able to make that a whole lot more comfortable."

So you have an air-conditioned Batsuit?

"It was nothing so advanced as that. It was just material that was able to breathe a little, so that I wasn't leaving the puddles of sweat behind me if I stood still for longer than 30 seconds."

Is success hard to cope with for you as it is with so many stars?

"I don't feel qualified to talk about that yet — not in my professional life. I can't say that I've completely experienced that feeling yet. I would hope that there would still be a fire if I did feel like I had achieved what I'd set out to. But maybe what helps is that I have no idea what I've set out to achieve, so I'll never know when I've gotten there. And so I won't have a sense of having conquered it."

Tell me about agreeing to do the next Terminator.

"I've always had two varying degrees of success, and I'm not talking about anything to do with box office. I'm talking about my own parameters. You know, an interest in attempting in a wide variety of stories. I never desired to be a big studio movie actor, action actor. I've never desired to be a serious independent movie actor. I enjoy all of those. It depends on what mood I'm in. And therefore, I will try to bend those stories into becoming something that I can enjoy myself, varying degrees of success with that. We have an opportunity with it for a continuation, but also a reinvention, and I have to say, much the same way in my mind as we have with Batman. And beyond that I won't say anymore because we're just starting."

People take you very seriously because you're such a good artist. Do you enjoy having some of the privileges that go with being a leading man?

"Of course. And I never forget that. But that's in keeping with the kind of ups and down that I was accustomed to in growing up, that I don't take it for granted. And I don't see it as something that I'm entitled to. I see myself as a lucky bastard. And for some reason, hey, I get to enjoy these things. Is that always going to last? I have no idea. And the day I start believing it's always going to last will probably be the day it's all gone. And, you know, that to me is the definition of a lucky bastard. Because there was no big plan here whatsoever. It's all a happy accident."

Maggie Gyllenhaal and Ramona Search for Daisy Kidd

I don't know who Daisy Kidd is, but I figured the obvious thing to do with a picture of Maggie Gyllenhaal, her husband Peter, and their daughter Ramona was to take the road most traveled by- most traveled by Ramona Quimby that is.

I know, that's weak and predictable, but I was tired of talking about breastfeeding. Besides, the next picture will make it all worthwhile:
