Christian Bale: What Don’t You Effin Understand?
So a diva movie star throws a hissy fit on set. Big news, right? Only this time, we get to hear the whole thing–months after the fact of Bale going ballistic on a DP who distracted him by walking around in the scene during the shot for “Terminator Salvation.” http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/02/bale-went-ballistic/ Yeah, it gets repetitive and the rant escalates because the DP didn’t really explain himself or...

Such was NOT the case at a FANTABULOUS bash to celebrate the launch of the Tony Hawk Sidekick for T-Mobile. Taking over an empty building in the heart of Hollywood (the place used to be KCBS Channel 2 and KNX)...
Diana Does Hollywood
For the sold-out crowd at the Hollywood Bowl, it was a flashback to the days of the Supremes some 40 years ago. Unlike veterans who play the Bowl frequently (Tony Bennett, anyone?) Diana Ross–the early 60s diva who paved the way for Mariah, Beyonce, Xtina–has kept herself pretty scarce.
