I'd take that first bit by E! with a grain of salt.

Bale arrested and released; denies assault
July 22, 2008, 2:52 PM EST
LONDON (AP) -- Christian Bale has denied allegations of assault made by his mother and sister, hours after he was arrested, questioned by London police and released.

The 34-year-old star of "The Dark Knight" spent four hours at a police station, but was not charged. British media had reported that Bale's mother and sister complained he had assaulted them at the Dorchester Hotel in London on Sunday night.

Representatives for Bale released a statement today denying that an assault took place.

The actor's reps released the following statement to TMZ: "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."

A woman thought to be Bale's sister Sharon told reporters "it's a family matter" from her home in Corfe Mullen, 110 miles southwest of London. A man who answered the door at the home of his mother Jenny Bale in nearby Bournemouth said she did not want to comment.

The Sun newspaper said police did not question the actor Monday because they did not want to interfere with the premiere of the movie.

Assault can mean a lot of things. Verbal assault is apparently enough to go to the cops for these days, tho I don't think a mom and sister are likely to do such a thing. Doesn't really come as a big surprise tho. He might be a cool actor, but you can tell he is an absolute jerk. In fact it is probably for that reason that he's so good at playing asshole-Bruce Wayne. He just plays himself.

Where are you getting that from?

The news today said he just cussed his mom out for dissing his wife. Cool.

Legal sources said sister Sharon needed £100,000 to help her bring up her three children. They said Bale, 34, snubbed the plea and a row flared in his suite at the Dorchester Hotel in London’s West End.

sources said Jenny (Bales mom) inflamed the situation by hurling insults about his wife Sibi, 38.

Sharon and Jenny, a part-time clown from Bournemouth, left the hotel on Monday morning and, on the way to their Dorset home, stopped at a Hampshire police station and reported Bale for assault.

He was arrested when he attended Belgravia police station, Central London, on Tuesday.

Sharon, who works in computer programming, has two daughters — aged ten and 12 — from a previous marriage and a baby from a new relationship.

His mom is a clown?!

Ironic....isn't it?

So basically, she demanded £100,000 from him, he refused, she reported him to the authorities for that.

Family values, anyone?

This is why I don't assume things about people without knowing the whole situation. Why? Because doing so makes me a bigger ass than the supposed ass in question.
