Remember this? Well, Christian Bale is talking about this little “misstep”, basically blaming everything on the trust he put in the sound guys (what?). He’s become really good at passing the buck - why can’t he just take responsibility, say he was an ass, and move on? Here’s what he had to say:

‘I mean, hey, I did what I did,’ the 35-year-old told Total Film magazine.
‘I’m not hiding that. I went overboard. But there is an essential trust and it’s not a tacit one, it’s a verbal one, a spoken one, which is every sound guy says “We are not only not recording, we are not even listening.”

I mean, hey, I did what I did. I’m not hiding that. I went overboard.
So, well, there goes that. I do stress though, it’s not in anyway a trust that’s there to cover up bad behaviour. It’s not about that.’
‘It’s an essential trust that’s needed for creativity because you’ll often try things and they’re abysmal, but if you have a trust there then you’ll give it a shot,’ he added.
‘Sometimes those things end up being wonderful and sometimes they’re embarrassing beyond belief but you’ve got to be able to try them and trust that it’s not going to be put out there and mocked.’
But he admitted: ‘I’m not making any excuses. I’m not whining. Hey listen, I did it an, it’s in public space. Hey, I take the consequences for it.’

Oh, well - I’ll still watch him,a nd so will you. I hope he apologized to the poor guys he was chewing out though!

After getting the papers from his wife of 28 years that she was filing for divorce, Mel Gibson thumbed his nose by showing up with his new Russian girlfriend at the Hollywood premiere of X-Men: Wolverine. Gosh, subtlety does NOT seem to be his strong suit, does it? Here are some more pictures of the “happy” couple:

Well, this is one way to ruin your afternoon! While watching a celebrity golf tournament featuring Bill Murray in the comfort of her back yard, this sweet little old lady got bonked in the head with a golf ball hit by him! Thankfully she was just fine, but Bill stayed around to help her out as paramedics came and assisted. Watch:

Ay yi yi. So I told you the other day about Candy Spelling writing a letter to Tori, and how basically Tori wants nothing to do with her. Now Tori is saying that she hasn’t even READ the letter, and that she’s open to a private meeting, but she kind of pussyfoots around the whole issue. Here’s what she had to say:

“There’s no feud. We simply never meshed. It’s not like we’re not talking, we just haven’t talked. I love my mother. I’ve always loved her and no doubt she loves me.
“I, in no way, cut her off. She is welcome to make the effort if she wants to be present in their lives. She knows how to reach me, she knows where we live.”

Okay, so I’m curious: how many of you have really good relationships with your mother? Do you talk to your mama every day, or is it a once in a while kind of thing?

I told you yesterday about Jamie Foxx saying some pretty disgusting things about Miley Cyrus; well, now of course he’s backtracking furiously to cover up the shi*tstorm that this stirred up. Here’s what he had to say on the Jay Leno show:

“I so apologize to Miley, and this is sincere. I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it. And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far. I have a radio show…We’re really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn’t mean it maliciously. You know I’m a comedian. You know my heart. Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand.”

Okay, I appreciate that. But honestly, I hope that he remembers this in the future, because it was NOT FUNNY to tell a 15 year old to get herself some crack. Not cool. Here’s the video of his apology:

So if you have kids, and you’ve had the opportunity to give them The Talk (you know what I mean), then Zac Efron has some words of advice for you. You know, because he’s a TEEN IDOL and all, and has SO MUCH experience dealing with the kinder. Right? Of course! Here we go:

“I just feel like my dad, at one point, had that conversation with me and my little brother, and always delivered it very well. He was very passionate about it……My stocking was full of condoms this Christmas. She buys me the economy box.”

Oh, now THAT would be a very awkward Christmas present, don’t you think? Uncle Bob gets the fruitcake, Grammy gets the fuzzy socks, and Zac gets the Costco-sized box of rubbers. Brilliant.

So Lindsay Lohan is doing a LOT of spin control since her big debacle last week with the whole breakup and quick dive into the insanity end of the pool, and like anyone else who needs a lift up she decided to go on the Ellen Show and whine and moan about how difficult her life is, how horrible everyone is to her, and how she’s a talented ACTOR and just needs to PRACTICE HER CRAFT. Here’s the video:

It’s basically a ton of dead silence with Ellen pulling stuff out of Linsay. I laughed out loud when Ellen said something about how she wasn’t talking - well, no kidding! She has nothing going on professionally and her personal life is shot to hell. Of COURSE she doesn’t have anything to talk about!

Actress Jessica Biel is mostly known for three things:

• Her butt.
• Her boyfriend, Justin Timberlake.
• Her butt.

So instead of finding a role that, I don’t know, DOESN’T FOCUS ON HER BUTT, Jessica has decided to go down the time-honored street of Hooker Central, you know, the old chestnut about a ho with a heart of gold who’s just fallen on hard times and only takes her clothes off to support her mom/baby/grandfather/favorite goldfish, and who would NEVER even DREAM of doing lap dances and crotch flashes otherwise. Uh huh.

Jessica’s been cast as the main T and A in a looks-like-it’s-going-straight-to-DVD film called “Powder Blue”, and from the looks of the clips, it’s probably going to be something that’s great for a 15 year old’s spank bank, but that’s about it. Here’s a clip of her “acting”:

OMG! Seriously, I am laughing at her talking about how difficult this is. Try working on an assembly line 12 hours a day for $12 an hour and then come talk to me about how difficult your life is, you silly little cow. Believe me, Jess, those “7th Heaven” residuals are not going to last forever….just something to think about.

We’re going to go to a scary place today, kiddos. I’m not going to lie to you. You’ll need to bring three things: bleach, some kind of sharp pointy metal instrument (talk to your dentist), and the collected works of Gilbert and Sullivan. Why all this preparation? Because we’re going to talk about….

Mel B, aka Scary Spice, in a “tiny little thong”.

Former Spice Girl Mel B, who is married to Stephen Belafonte, is getting ready to do a Las Vegas burlesque show titled “Peepshow”. I wonder what they’re doing in there - readings from Nietzche, you think? Of course. Anyway, Mel’s husband wants her to go even skimpier on the already sluttified outfit of fishnets and a corset - he wants her to wear only a thong. I guess each to his own and all that, but let’s be honest here: a thong is basically tooth floss for your ass crack. There is no escaping that there will be a naked ass bouncing around on stage doing all sorts of things that you never wanted to know about. WHAT WILL BE SEEN CANNOT BE UNSEEN.

Plus, personally I would be worried that with all the dancing that Mel B is (supposedly) going to be doing, let alone the lip syncing singing, wouldn’t you be worried that that thong will, uh, try to hide, if you know what I mean? Head for the hills? I feel for that thong. Do you think it’s eligible for workers’ comp?

Madonna sure knows how to make an entrance, doesn’t she! Appearing yesterday to tour an African village in the country of Malawi, where she’s buying adopting a kid, she wore a Chanel sweatsuit (similar to the one pictured above) that retails for a whopping $2800. Yes, I believe Madonna was missing the day sensitivity chips were handed out, don’t you?

And who in the world buys and wears a sweatsuit worth that much money? I have a few sweatsuits, and guess what - I SWEAT in them, therefore, I do not want them to be worth a mortgage payment. Nobody expects Madge’s Vadge to go around in something from Wal-Mart, but when you’re wearing an outfit that has couture stamped all over it in front of a village of starving kids, there’s something seriously wrong.
