Bale accused of assaulting mother, sister
Batman star Christian Bale will face police questioning today over claims that he assaulted his mother and sister.
A complaint was lodged against the actor by mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, at a police station in Hampshire yesterday. They have alleged that Bale "lashed out" at them on Sunday night at central London's Dorchester Hotel.
Police decided to delay questioning until today because they did not want to spoil last night's Dark Knight premiere in the West End, one report suggests.
A source told The Sun: "It would have been wrong to wreck the premiere over a complaint which we do not yet know is founded in truth. Mr Bale will be contacted at the earliest opportunity and be asked to provide an account of what happened."
A Scotland Yard spokesperson said: "We can confirm that we have received an allegation from another force in relation to an incident in central London."

Estelle Getty has died at the age of 84.
The veteran actress - best known for her role as sarcastic Sicilian Sophia in sitcom The Golden Girls - was suffering from advanced dementia.
Her son Carl Gettleman confirmed that she died at around 5.30am PT (1.30pm UK) at her home in Hollywood, three days before her 85th birthday.
"She was loved throughout the world in six continents, and if they loved sitcoms in Antarctica she would have been loved on seven continents," Gettleman said in a statement. "She was one of the most talented comedic actresses who ever lived."
As well as her role in Golden Girls, which ran from 1985 to 1992, Getty appeared in Stop or My Mom Will Shoot alongside Sylvester Stallone, Mask, Stuart Little and Mannequin.
Aww, I remember her in Golden Girls (hilarious) and Stop or My Mom will shoot you. Shame she suffered from dementia. RIP Estelle x

Television star John Leslie will not face charges over the latest allegations against him of sex assaults, police said today.
The former Blue Peter presenter was arrested last month over two allegations of rape and indecent assault dating back to 1995.
Leslie, 43, was formally arrested after he attended Teddington police station by appointment in June.
He strenuously denied the allegation, claiming it was the 'mother of all stitch-ups'.
Today the Metropolitan Police said after taking advice from the Crown Prosecution Service they will not be taking any further action against him.
He had been questioned by Teddington detectives for three hours over claims by a 33-year-old woman that he raped her at his East Sheen home in 1995.
The woman made the allegation last September. They also took his fingerprints and a DNA swab.
Leslie's law firm released a statement on his behalf, saying he was 'delighted' and the complaint was 'ridiculous'.
It also said there was 'little justice and no fairness' in what Leslie and his family had been put through, having his name dragged through the mud once again.
The statement said: 'We have today been informed by the Metropolitan Police that the complaint against John Leslie has been dropped.
'Yet again, after a complete and thorough investigation, it has been confirmed that there is no truth or substance to the damaging allegations that were made against our client last month.
'He is of course delighted. The complaint was ridiculous, but yet again and for a second time his name has been dragged through the mud before the law has had a chance to confirm his innocence.
'The law confers a blanket of anonymity on complainants but the accused enjoys no such protection.
'Instead his reputation, his character, his career and his family are regarded as fair game by the media.
'There is little justice and no fairness in what our client and his family have been put through.'
Leslie was acquitted of two counts of indecent assault on a 23-year-old actress in 2003.
She came forward to police in 2002 after Leslie was sacked from This Morning following allegations arising from TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson's autobiography -although she had not named him.
In recent years, Leslie has pursued a career away from showbusiness as a property developer in Scotland.
He attended Teddington police station last month after the fresh allegation surfaced.
The next day he released a statement in which he condemned 'lies about my private life' and said: 'I certainly did not attack this person as I have never attacked anyone.'
Leslie said at the time: 'I was interviewed for 30 minutes and released on bail. Five years ago I helped the police complete a thorough investigation into malicious claims against me...
'Regrettably, as has happened in the past, the details of a private police inquiry have been leaked to the press and once again I face trial by media.
'It is thus with a mixture of anger and distress that I am forced to talk yet again about lies about my private life, lies that destroyed my public career.'
Leslie said: 'If I sound bitter, it is because I am.'
He said the lies 'that destroyed my public career in 2003... now threaten the private life which I have been happy to lead since then'.
He said: 'When, I ask, is this nightmare going to end? If it is considered acceptable to launch an investigation after 13 years, then why not 20 or 30 years?'

Cyrus: 'I'm looking for a boyfriend'
Miley Cyrus has claimed that she is single and "looking" for a boyfriend.
The actress, 15, who is currently shooting Hannah Montana: The Movie, denied rumours she was dating either boyband rocker Nick Jonas or co-star Lucas Till.
"It is hard when you are hanging out with guys, even guys that are just your friends," she told Today.
"[He's] automatically your boyfriend, because that's what the media thinks.
"I think it's good if you can be able to have guy and girl friends that, you know, understand you."
She added: "It stinks when we go out; people automatically think we're together."
I wonder how long it will be before the sex tape surfaces online :rotfl:

Teen superstar Miley Cyrus is "super sorry" for a video on YouTube in which she and best friend Mandy Jiroux mock fellow Disney Channel stars Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato.
“I mean if we offended (Gomez and Lovato), we’re super sorry, but we were, like, just having fun,” Cyrus said in an interview with Popstar! magazine.
Cyrus and Jiroux's video copied an earlier YouTube video by Gomez and Lovato in a scene-by-scene parody.
“That’s our thing, to be funny,” she said. “They were being funny on their show, and (besides) Elvis says imitation is the greatest form of flattery, so we were, like, imitating them. You know, like, being funny.”
In the video, the singer and actress, 15, and Jiroux, a backup dancer, poke fun at Gomez showing off her Power Rangers T-shirt and laugh at Lovato fixing a gap in her teeth.
"I thought they digitally added that," said Gomez about the gap. In the video made by Cyrus and Jiroux, the "Hannah Montana" star mocks her, saying "I thought it was like digitizely put on in your piehole."
After Cyrus' controversial Vanity Fair photo shoot, some pegged Gomez, star of "The Wizards of Waverly Place," and Lovato, star of "Camp Rock," as wholesome role models who could take Cyrus' place.
Still, the "Hannah Montana" star told "Extra" that "I don’t think there could be a next Miley. I think they should be the next Selena, the next Demi ... [and] make their own way.”

Watson is centre of attention at polo bash
Harry Potter star Emma Watson spurned the advances of three male admirers at a Windsor polo party, according to a report.
The 18-year-old actress, best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the movies, captured the attention of Francis Bouelle at the beginning of the bash. They chatted happily for a while, but it wasn't long until Emma was seen draping herself over a dark-haired man.
Later, Emma was chatted up by a third man, blond Michael Corker. However, all three of her fans were left disappointed when she went home with a female friend.
An onlooker told The Mirror: "It was very funny to see - she's clearly hard to get."
In April, Watson claimed that Potter fans are desperate for her to start dating co-star Daniel Radcliffe. She insisted that they are just friends.

Cowell dumps Terri Seymour?
Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour have allegedly ended their six-year relationship.
A report from Star magazine claims that Cowell dumped his TV presenter girlfriend following a row over starting a family.
"He told me he is tired of Terri's insecurities," a friend of Cowell is quoted as saying. "They lead separate lives, and that's how he likes it, but lately she has turned up unannounced at events he is at."
A source added: "Terri is worn down by Simon's attitude."
Cowell is believed to be holidaying at his St Tropez villa with friend Paul McKenna and ex-girlfriend Sinitta following his bust-up with Seymour.
The X Factor judge has repeatedly denied rumours that his relationship with Seymour is on the rocks.

Gordon Ramsay slammed by ex-friend
Gordon Ramsay has been described as a "sad b*****d" by his former friend and protégé Marcus Wareing.
The pair have known each other for 15 years, but a row over the Petrus restaurant at the Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge has torn them apart in recent months.
Wareing is head chef at the restaurant, which is currently run by Gordon Ramsay Holdings, but will take over the lease in September after the hotel decided to end its association with Ramsay. Gordon's lawyers are attempting to challenge the move.
In an interview with Waitrose Food Illustrated, Wareing said that he is looking forward to breaking away from his former mentor. He also claimed that Ramsay is more interested in being a celebrity than a chef.
"If I never speak to that guy for the rest of my life, it wouldn't bother me one bit," Wareing insisted. "Wouldn't give a *******."
He continued: "Gordon's an important part of my life, although half of me thinks he's a sad b*****d and the other half still adores him. But Gordon is not really part of the industry now. He's a major celebrity."
Contradicting oneself in the last two paragraphs Marcus?

Mills 'has no evidence' against Macca
Heather Mills has no evidence that she could use against her ex-husband Paul McCartney, her former publicist has claimed.
As the ex-model's divorce battle with McCartney rumbled on earlier this year, it was suggested that Mills had damaging tapes which proved the Beatles legend had been abusive towards her.
However, Michele Elyzabeth, who parted company with Mills last week, has now insisted that there is no truth in the claims.
She told US TV show Access Hollywood: "I really don't believe she did [have the tapes]. I was close enough and I heard a couple of conversations. Now that I know what I know, I don't really think that Paul really went after her for anything.
"She had basically nothing - she had tapes of her being in the studio with him, her being on the road with him, private moments. She told me a bunch of stuff... [but] I don't see him being a violent person."
Elyzabeth has described Mills as a "maniac" and an "impossible" person to work with since quitting her job last week.
Uh oh, I foresee a lawsuit against Elyzabeth for saying that.

David Walliams's stalker sectioned
Sarah Bartholomew, the woman who stalked David Walliams, is to be sectioned under the Mental Health Act, The Mirror reports.
The 29-year-old former veterinary nurse admitted to sending the Little Britain star a string of threatening messages, one of which read: "I have to have you at any cost. I will kill or abduct you to stop you seeing anyone else."
Bartholomew will remain in a psychiatric hospital until doctors decide she poses no danger to herself or others.
District Judge Adrian Turner stated: "I am quite sure a medical order is the appropriate action."
A judge had previously said that Bartholomew had become "delusional about her relationship with David Walliams".

Corden sorry for Knightley sex joke
James Corden has apologised to Keira Knightley after he joked that they enjoyed repeated sex sessions.
The Gavin & Stacey star claimed that they had indulged in three days of "sensual lovemaking" and "solid shagging" during a speech at the Sony Ericsson Empire Awards in March.
He made the apparently off-the-cuff remark while introducing the actress's pre-recorded acceptance speech after she won the best actress gong for her role in Atonement.
However, he has now apologised after Knightley reportedly blanked him at a recent party.
WENN quotes him as saying: "Truly, I thought about doing that (the sex joke) 20 seconds before I went up [on stage]. On my life, it just came out.
"It really was a joke. I would like to know she did know that. I think she's great."
Where does this guy get off making jokes about people and slagging the cast of Hollyoaks off? He's not sending out a good impression of himself.

Morgan Freeman has been released from hospital following his involvement in a car crash at the weekend.
The actor was discharged from the Regional Medical Centre in Memphis, Tennessee, after being treated for a broken arm, elbow and other injuries, a hospital spokesperson confirmed.
Freeman, 71, was airlifted to the centre's trauma unit on Sunday night after his car veered off a highway in Mississippi and flipped several times. He has since undergone surgery to repair nerve damage.
A female passenger and owner of the car, later identified as friend Demaris Meyer, was also taken to the facility.
Police believe Freeman may have fallen asleep at the wheel of the vehicle prior to the accident. Rain is also thought to have been a factor.
The Oscar winner, who can currently be seen in The Dark Knight, was earlier revealed to be in the process of divorcing his wife of 24 years.

Gary Glitter will be deported to the UK next week after serving his sentence for child molestation.
The glam rock singer, real name Paul Gadd, has completed his 27-month sentence in a Vietnam prison. Glitter was convicted in March 2006 of committing "obscene acts with children".
The arrest concerned two Vietnamese girls from the coastal city of Vung Tau. His sentence was reduced by three months on appeal.
Glitter's legal representative Le Thanh Kinh said: "He will be deported back to Britain.
"Police booked his ticket from Ho Chi Minh City to London and I have already paid for the ticket on his behalf.
"My client will have to board a flight to London, his ticket has been bought by the authorities here. After he lands in London, he's free to go wherever he wants."
Glitter will leave Vietnam on Tuesday. He will be met by police in the UK and made to sign the sex offenders' register.

Gary Glitter denied entry to Hong Kong
Gary Glitter has been refused entry into Hong Kong, the Foreign Office has confirmed.
The former glam rock star, real name Paul Gadd, left Bangkok airport on a Thai Airways flight for the Chinese territory this afternoon.
He had refused to board a connecting flight from Bangkok to Heathrow this morning after claiming to be suffering from chest pains. However, he was later examined and declared fit to fly.
According to legal experts, British authorities do not have the power to force Glitter to return to the UK. Chinese officials are currently thought to be considering putting him on a flight back to Thailand.
Thai-based British journalist Andrew Drummond earlier told Sky News: "He has had access to British TV in his hotel and knows that if he does come back [to the UK], he might never be able to leave again."
The 64-year-old was released from prison in Vietnam on Thursday after serving two years and nine months of a three-year sentence for child molestation.

Kerry Katona has been declared bankrupt by the High Court.
The I'm A Celebrity... winner failed to pay the final £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill.
Katona was not present at the court earlier today. Her representative Luke Harris claimed that she was waiting for cheques to clear before she paid the money back.
Mr Registrar Nicholls allowed her legal team an extra hour to correct the balance, but they failed to do so.
It is the fourth time the case has been in court, but the final deadline was confirmed by Nicholls two weeks ago.
She was given the petition in January, but has repeatedly contested HM Revenue and Customs's demands.
Katona, who found fame in pop group Atomic Kitten, won ITV's I'm A Celebrity... in 2004. She has four children, two with singer Brian McFadden and two with current husband Mark Croft.

Goody reveals extent of cancer scare
Jade Goody would have died within three months without emergency treatment for her cervical cancer, she has revealed.
The reality TV star was diagnosed with the illness while she was taking part in the Indian version of Big Brother six days ago. She immediately withdrew from the programme and returned to the UK for treatment and further tests.
Goody has now been told that she has a large tumour in her womb and will require a hysterectomy next week.
"My consultant said the cancer had got so big it filled half my womb. There was a chance it was in my bloodstream," Goody told The Sun. "She told me I'd need a hysterectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The biggest shock was when I asked what would have happened if I'd stayed in India for three months.
"Without hesitation she replied, 'Jade, you would have died'. I've got to make a joke about it or I'll go mad with the fear. If I go bald I'll get a big tattoo on my head. And I refuse to question whether or not I will die. It's not an option. I'll fight with all my strength."
Goody also admitted that she is heartbroken by accusations that her health scare is nothing more than a publicity stunt.
"I'm sitting here desperately trying to come to terms with the fact that I might die, while people are out there accusing me of making my illness up," she said. "Call me a racist, call me a bigot, a chav, whatever - but don't call me a liar over this."
The star had decided to take part in India's Big Boss to make amends for her part in the Celebrity Big Brother race row, which saw her branded a racist bully for her treatment of Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty.

Katona vows to go ahead with surgery plans
Kerry Katona is planning to go ahead with her dramatic cosmetic surgery plans, despite being declared bankrupt this week.
The former Atomic Kitten star will be filmed for her reality TV series as she undergoes a body makeover, including a breast reduction, liposuction and laser treatment for her stretchmarks. She is expected to part with £15,000 for the transformation.
A bankruptcy order was issued by the High Court this week after Katona failed to pay the final £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill. Her representatives have insisted that the action will be annulled on Wednesday when funds for the bill finally clear.
Speaking about Katona's surgery plans, a source told the Daily Star: "She will be followed by a camera crew. But she has wanted this for a really long time, regardless of whether it was for TV or not.
"She knows she will be criticised for going through with it after what happened this week but she is not worried because she has money pouring into her bank accounts. The money is there - she is not skint by any means."
I must have missed something here. You can't be declared un-bankrupt if you pay back your debts within a week of an order being issued.
Has she got nothing more important to spend money on than getting rid of her stretchmarks?

'Neighbours' actress in airport clash
Neighbours star Carla Bonner was banned from a flight at the weekend after clashing with an airline attendant over her luggage.
The actress, who plays Steph Scully on the Aussie soap, was checking in at Melbourne Airport for a flight to Newcastle, New South Wales, when she was warned that her hand luggage could be too large.
Bonner was told by the staff member that her bag would need to be measured and a heated exchange followed. She was in possession of a Light Fare ticket for a Jetstar Airways flight, restricting her to one piece of small hand luggage only.
The soap star eventually ended up staying in Melbourne. Despite claims from onlookers that she used foul language in her discussion with the airport worker, Bonner has insisted that she was not at fault.
"I am in the process of lodging a formal complaint about an incredibly rude staff member who I am sure regrets his behaviour,'' Bonner told the Daily Telegraph. "It's a shame because the other Jetstar staff I dealt with were terrific and very supportive.''
In August last year, Bonner was fined for driving offences. As well as using a licence that had not been renewed, she had caused a crash at a shopping centre by reversing when it was unsafe to do so.

Exclusive: Ulrika Jonsson set to replace Fiona Phillips on GMTV?
Ulrika Jonsson could be set for a dramatic return to breakfast television.
The former TV-am weather girl has been in secret talks with GMTV about becoming their new sofa queen when Fiona Phillips leaves.
Bosses are snubbing bookies' favourite Kate Garraway and want to take Fiona's Christmas exit as an opportunity to revitalise the station.
Kate, 41, may well be dumped altogether when her contract runs out.
An insider said: "Fiona's departure is a blow, but this gives us a chance to give the whole show a spring clean. Ulrika is perfect - beautiful and intelligent, with an ability to laugh at herself."
Swedish-born Ulrika, now 41, joined TV-am as a secretary in 1989 and was instantly promoted to become the station's weather girl.
The mum-of-four later presented Gladiators and was a regular on Shooting Stars.
Our source added: "Ulrika is an experienced presenter and we are now in serious discussions."
Insiders say producers have a list of alternatives if Ulrika does not get the job or decides that the unsocial hours clash with her lifestyle.
The BBC's Kate Silverton, much liked by ITV execs, has been mentioned - and gorgeous Christine Bleakley is also well-respected.
If bosses decide to go for a younger presenter, Myleene Klass, Jenni Falconer and Holly Willoughby have also been touted.
However, one woman who doesn't seem to want the job is GMTV's other bubbly blonde, Penny Smith. The presenter is looking to take a break so she can finish writing a book.
Referring to her novel, which has the working title of What Katie Did Next, Penny said: "I'm trying to take a holiday away from TV so I can finish it. I think John Stapleton and myself are slowly heading together for the retirement home."

Dannii Minogue to do Playboy again?
SIZZLING Dannii Minogue has revealed she might pose for Playboy magazine again — 13 years after her first shoot.
The X Factor judge, 37, said she would consider it if the price was right.
Dannii, who first bared all in the men’s mag in her early twenties, said: “I did Playboy when it was cool and I shocked myself and many others.
“But it was liberating at the time. I would do it again.”
She added: “If the money was right, then sure. Who knows, it might happen this year too.”
The pop star — who has admitted having a boob job — appeared in the magazine following the breakdown of her two-year marriage to Nip/Tuck actor Julian McMahon, 39.
The couple met when they were both in Aussie soap Home and Away.
Dannii said at the time: “I had just had a marriage break-up. Most women go to the hairdressers — I did Playboy.
“I chose the photographer, the location, what I did or didn’t want to wear and everything else about the pictures. I found it a really liberating, empowering experience.”
But last night the star’s spokesman said: “Dannii has no current plans to do Playboy magazine again. She has no regrets either as the pictures were beautiful.”

Actress Lindsay Lohan has finally revealed that she and Samantha Ronson are a couple.
The Mean Girls star added that her relationship with the DJ had been going on a "very long time".
The 22-year-old actress confirmed to the co-host of the syndicated radio program Loveline that she has been dating the 31-year-old.
