While most wireless carriers let you make calls when you're outside their area, you could pay hefty roaming charges. Roaming can be a larger issue in rural areas.

The pocket is also pretty big. It will hold your keys and ipod/cell phone with no problem.

I don't see how TMZ's facts sound any more credible than those found in any sleazy, highly-fictionalized tabloid story out there. We weren't in that room, we don't know what happened, and if this were anyone else - Tom Cruise, for example - people would be lighting the torches right now.

I do however respectivly disagree with the 'owing parents' comment. He doesn't 'owe' his Mother $$, or respect for that matter. I have the respect of <b>all</b> my children who are adults ranging in age 30 to 18. Not just because I gave birth to them, but because I show <b>them</b> respect and unconditional love. Respect is earned, <b>not</b> owed :wink: Pattie, I agree with most of what you say.

What kind of Mother and/or Sister would report their son/sibling to the police for something as non-violent as this? According to the police reports there was no falling down or physical injury placed upon any one's person, so why would the Mother report this? UNLESS there was an agenda there. Which is really how this story sounded from the get-go. Face it - most people here have commented that was their own belief when the story broke. It just SOUNDED too fishy to be something so devious. the American public knows Christian Bale from his previous movies and prior interviews. He's always come off as someone very contemplative and thoughtful. I'm not saying he can't possibly be the jerk his sister and mom are trying to make him out to be but it's unlikely he's is just that in this particular circumstance, given the details about this incident. It's the "age old" story of someone's kin or distant kin trying to cash in on their relative's success. It's Pretty obvious to every resonably minded person what's going on here. You said it KAREN!

Who cares that someone you don't know, just had a baby, divorced, had surgery etc etc. Obviously an awful lot of people or the mags wouldn't survive and they wouldn't get paid a fortune for the 'first and exclusive photo' of a wedding or baby. Do we just have too much money to waste? or now have the medium of internet to express our personal feelings and vent our own opinions? Or does everyone want to be them? I have enough of my own little dramas in family, work and friends from time to time and that keeps me busy. Damned sure I wouldn't want to be a celeb, scarey thing having all these people thinking they know you and have an opinion on your life. Actually, once I was standing in a queue waiting for coffee, when I spotted this lady in front of me, who I was sure I knew, vaguely and couldn't place her. So I said, excuse me I know that I know you from somewhere and it's driving me nuts trying to work it out. She looked a bit embarrassed and said, I'm an actress on "Prisoner" (the old tv. soap) I was more embarassed at the public revelation that I watched such mind numbing rubbish, still, I was a single mum at the time and alone in the evenings :lol: that's my excuse anyway.

For once somebody with some common sense. I know it's interesting following these stories about celebs just like a gaper's delay when someone gets compacted on the side of the highway from some accident.It's human nature, just the nastier side of our nature just as both Christian and his mom/sis showed with the argument and later having to report it to the police. In my opinion unless there's a danger of more physical and I mean bloodshed abuse there is no reason to further tear apart family ties. The pushing,shoving, and bringing the police into a preschool type of showing match is idiotic and only done for money for mom/sis and more press for his movie.It's a shame that his family doesn't get along but you're never going to get along with your family %100 the time.I do believe you should make sure that they're cared for in their old age no matter what they've done unless you've had to deal with physical abuse as a child, just make sure that somebody knows and the parent is taken care of by the state system. Problem is if celebs pays off relatives just sets him up for more and later financial abuse. He should just make sure that his family and their basic needs are taken care of through a trust or attorneys and leave them be until he and they can come to their senses. But it's up to him how much bad press he wants to take off this mess. He had to get that temper from somebody and my guess is he probably got it from both mom and dad. Never just one side to any story. Didn't anyone ever tell you it takes two to tango(fight)>? Love your post Pattie. For once somebody with some common sense.

Asking myself WHO IS Cristian Bale, must be someone IMPORTANT to generate such passionate posts. Oh no, he's just another flipping dirt rich celeb who had an argument with his family, over money. Come on guys, do you know him or his family personally, do you care if he's right or they're right or if his PR machine is even telling the truth. As for the posts that say, you owe your parents nothing, I'm sorry for your parents and you and suspect that if you have kids, they too will grow up feeling they owe you nothing and then you will know what family really means, when you're old, not healthy and alone. this is the problem with the media and celebs now, everyone thinks they know them personally - try getting to know your family and friends better and caring about them, they are the people who are part of your life and most likely to stand by you.
