Christian Bale Erupts On "Terminator Salvation" Movie Set

Remember last year when Christian Bale was arrested for exploding in a fit of anger before his "Dark Knight" premier? Well, it looks like the actor is up to his angry fits again.

A new audiotape has surfaced of Bale on the set of "Terminator Salvation", and it is bad.

It is over five minutes long, and contains explicit language of the actor upset with a DP (Director of Photography) who ruined a scene by walking into the shot.

We're all for a little elite behavior by celebrities, but this goes beyond the norm.

Over and over, the actor yells and screams at the DP, and threatens to walk off the set if he is not fired. You can hear the nastiness in his voice.

After apologizing profusely, the employee is continually asked, "What were you thinking", and "What the hell is your problem".

It was so bad; management sent the tape to the insurance company overseeing the production in case there are ramifications. If Bale walks off the set, the movie is done and a lot of people are out a lot of money. If they can show he acted unprofessionally and walked away without good reason, the insurance company might have a cause to go after the diva for a refund.

Bale is also working on the films "Killing Pablo", the true story of how the Colombian gangster, Pablo Escobar, was assassinated and his Medellin cocaine cartel shut down, and "Public Enemies", starring with Johnny Depp about the Feds trying to take down notorious gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a crime wave in the 1930s

"Terminator Salvation" is due for release this May and tells the story of what happens after Skynet has destroyed much of humanity in a nuclear holocaust, and a group of survivors led by John Connor struggles to keep the machines from finishing the job.

Olympic Winner Michael Phelps Photographed Hitting A Bong

It seems that maybe wealth and fame does have the ability to change a person after all.

The outwardly shy and innocent Olympic Gold winner Michael Phelps seems to have a party animal side to his personality.

Ever since he won in China last year, the 14-time gold medal winner has been seen and photographed, in public, bars, universities, and just about everywhere else - getting a buzz on.

Numerous sightings and reports have surfaced of his out of control drinking in VIP rooms and late night parties, and a growing number of comments from those around him seem to paint a picture of someone who is out of control.

The latest problem for the new celebrity is a widely circulated picture of him smoking pot from a bong.

One party crasher who saw his actions told the News of the World: "He was out of control from the moment he got there. If he continues to party like that I'd be amazed if he ever won any more medals again."

Phelps' people are in a panic over the picture; fearing advertisers will dump the swimming sensation. As Olympic officials have vowed to crack down on drug abuse, it could also cost him any chance of competing in the next series of games.

His commercial endorsements are managed by 'Octagon', who deals with big brand companies around the world. They admitted to reporters that the use of pot would be "a major taint" on his career.

Drinking has got him in trouble before. In 2004, at age 19, he received eighteen months of probation for driving while drunk and underage.

He has been on every magazine cover in the free world, hosted Saturday Night Live, appeared on The Colbert Report, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Entertainment Tonight and a Barbara Walters special.

He has also tried his luck at series television with guest appearances on Entourage, 24/7 Chicago, The Apprentice and Rome Is Burning.

Time will tell if the star athlete can pull himself out of this mess, or if he will fade away as another lost sole caught up in the world of the rich and famous.

Jett Travolta, Son Of John Travolta Dies In Bahamas

A sad day for John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston as news was released that their 16-year old son Jett Travolta has died while vacationing in the Bahamas.

According to one report, Jett was last seen going into the bathroom of their private suite at the Old Bahama Bay Resort sometime yesterday.

A caretaker discovered Jett's body around 10:00 am in the bathroom. The report says Jett suffered from seizures.

Initial police comments indicate Jett hit his head in a bathtub. An autopsy will be done to determine the exact cause of death.

Jett was the oldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston, who also have an 8-year-old daughter. The family arrived on a private plane Tuesday and had been vacationing at their home in the resort community.

For many years now, there have been rumors about the Travolta's being in denial about their son's Autism, relying on their religion to address the situation.

According to Scientology teachings, Jett has been given the status of "degraded" where the church says he can cure himself by working harder on the church's teachings.

The family continues to deny that Jett had Autism, claiming that their son's condition is Kawasaki syndrome, a disease characterized by high fever, skin rash and swelling of the lymph nodes.
