Posted on 25. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
British actor Christian Bale modeled his sociopath central character in the big screen thriller American Psycho after couch jumper Tom Cruise.
According to Mary Harron, who directed the 2000 film, Chrisitan came up with the idea of using Tom as inspiration for playing serial killer Patrick Bateman after seeing him appear on the Late Show with David Letterman.
“We talked about how Martian-like Patrick Bateman was, how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave,” Harron told The Courier Mail this week.
“And then one day he called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy,” she said.

Christian Bale Steroid Confession
Posted on 10. May, 2009 by CSS.
Christian Bale was “tempted” to take steroids in a bid to build his physique for some of his early film roles.
The actor says he considered experimenting with the dangerous substances when he was trying to bulk up for roles in American Psycho and Batman Begins.
“I was lifting really heavy weights that I could never dream of lifting now and probably never will again,” the razor-tongued Brit admitted in the June issue of Esquire Magazine.
“A number of people have said, ‘You could never have done that without some kind of steroids.’ Not to say I wasn’t tempted,” Christian confessed.
“When I was getting ready for ‘American Psycho’ I’d never been in a gym in my life and I was working out like crazy, so I thought, ‘Maybe it ain’t such a big deal, just take some ‘roids’ and I can speed up this whole process.’”
Christian was deterred from purchasing the illegal drugs after being warned of potential side effects.
He explained: “I called up the store where they’re selling that sort of stuff and asked, ‘Have you used it? And side effects?’ ‘No no. I mean, really minimal. Your balls might shrink and you might get acne.’ I’m like, there’s no way in hell I’m going to touch anything like that and damn those who think I did.”

Big Winners At 'Peoples Choice Awards'
Posted on 08. Jan, 2009 by CSS.
Big winners Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are so cool they didn’t even show up for the People’s Choice Awards, which is a bit of an insult. No worries, because enough big stars stepped up and joined in the first major awards show of the season. The People’s Choice Awards are actually voted on by the people, and I’ve always wondered if winners are told in advance so they’ll actually show up. Other winners included Reese Witherspoon, Will Smith and Katherine “Biting the Hand that Feeds Her” Heigel. People magazine has the run down.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie clearly have the people’s vote. The two were among the big winners at the 35th Annual People’s Choice Awards Wednesday night at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Pitt was named favorite leading man at the ceremony, while Jolie was voted favorite female action star.
While neither accepted their honors in the flesh, plenty of stars – including Carrie Underwood, Katherine Heigl and the hosts of Dancing with the Stars (winners of the favorite competition/reality show) – collected their trophies in person during the two-hour ceremony which was hosted by Queen Latifah.
Ellen DeGeneres was a good sport as she presented the first award of the night, filling in for Kate Hudson whom, she said, was stuck in traffic and “40 minutes away.” Said DeGeneres with a laugh: “That’s no way to sell a movie.” The talk show host then gave Adam Sandler the favorite funny male star award, and later picked up favorite talk show host herself.
Hudson did arrive in time to collect her award for favorite leading lady – and she took the stage with a triumphant whoop. Hudson also dedicated her award to son Ryder, who was celebrating his fifth birthday that night.
Additionally, Will Smith was a double winner, nabbing favorite male movie star and favorite male action star, while Reese Witherspoon was named favorite female movie star. “This year I won an award for having a baby throw up on me,” the Four Christmases star said on stage.
The night’s definitive winner, though, was The Dark Knight: The latest in the Batman franchise won a total of five awards, including favorite movie and favorite action movie. The movie’s star, Christian Bale, was named favorite superhero and was also recognized, along with the late Heath Ledger, in the favorite on-screen match up category.
Among the other big movie winners: Katherine Heigel’s 27 Dresses won favorite movie comedy and WALL-E took home the award for favorite family movie.

I really like when Queen Latifah is the host of any awards show – she’s funny without trying too hard, and she doesn’t make mean-spirited jokes.
