- LordoftheLoo, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

- Mononuclear, on 07/22/2008, -4/+7I wouldn't call assault personal business. Most times someone is arrested for assault it makes at least the local news whether you are famous or not. I 100% agree that there is way too much "news" about the stupid lives of famous people and we should leave them alone but that doesn't count for criminal offenses. Do I care who is dating who? No. Do I care who is murdering/extorting/robbing/insert other crime? Yes.
- nreynolds, on 07/22/2008, -1/+4where exactly do you live where every single assault is put on the local news?
- garrettsdiggs, on 07/22/2008, -7/+11yea, don't know why you're getting dugg down either... i agree completely
if you give a flying ***** about this then you have a sad, sad existence - BevansDesign, on 07/22/2008, -10/+6Buried as inaccurate. After all, it's Fox News. Digg should auto-label their articles as inaccurate.

- loquedesea, on 07/22/2008, -15/+59"who files something as insignificant as ASSAULT against immediate family for anything other than spite / greed?"
um... maybe someone who was ASSAULTED...?!? have a heart man, you don't know the circumstances. you can't assume money-hunger is the motive, that's just plain ignorant. - PopcornDave, on 07/22/2008, -5/+28I'm thinking that you're correct since you only have to threaten someone, not actually touch them, to make it assault. It does sound like a couple of bitter bitches to have this happen on the opening night of a film that has gone nuts money wise in the US. They just want their piece of the pie.
I read three different accounts from the British news sources this morning ( Sky, Mail and Sun) but nobody had any account of what actually happened so I'm suspicious. Or are British papers allowed to report the facts of a case before trial? I seem to remember there's some sort of press blackout or something along those lines so we may not see any info for a while.
I guess we'll know the truth when it comes out in the National Enquirer or on TMZ.
Regardless if the accusations are true or not, he's been branded. - rudeboyskunk, on 07/22/2008, -7/+11I'm still trying to figure out if you're joking or just an *****. . .
- Mistaxe, on 07/22/2008, -2/+82Actually, this was verbal assault. In Britain, I guess you can be arrested for such a thing. Where I come from, if you yell at your family, you get yelled back at. Not prosecuted.
- antipoet, on 07/22/2008, -2/+5I hesitate to make judgments too, but did think the same thing. In my family, it'd have to be a VERY big deal to go outside of our circle to handle a problem. Maybe it was a big deal, but I'm leaning toward your theory.
- thailand1972, on 07/22/2008, -1/+8@loquedesea, you wrote:-
"um... maybe someone who was ASSAULTED...?!? have a heart man, you don't know the circumstances. "
Likewise, you don't know the facts. We can speculate though. If "assault" can be purely verbal (which is the case now in the UK), then it's so open to interpretation anyway. I mean, he might have just made a snarky comment, then his mother/sister twisted that into "verbal assault". - AmusedToDeath, on 07/22/2008, -2/+10Wait, so just saying something mean to someone in the UK can get you arrested for assault? Seriously? Haven't the Brits ever heard the old "Sticks n' stones" adage?
- Volaitle86, on 07/22/2008, -1/+2exactly mother *****
- Myonosken, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4@amusedtodeath: Its rarely used and, if its claimed in minor circumstances, the plaintiffs can also be charged with wasting police time.
- loquedesea, on 07/22/2008, -15/+59"who files something as insignificant as ASSAULT against immediate family for anything other than spite / greed?"
- migshark, on 07/22/2008, -1/+5It's likely that whoever suffered second had tried to break up the fight. Its very common in domestic disputes, assuming it was the sister who tried to intervene; then she would also likely have convinced her mum to go to the cops. The entire scenario isn't rare at all, sadly.
- Qtip42, on 07/22/2008, -9/+9As stupid as it may seem. My guess is that both of them overreacted if he got angry at something and tried to teach him a lesson.
My family did this when we fought as kids/teens. My sister's first reaction to any sort of argument was to call the police and lie saying I hit her.- marcduke, on 07/22/2008, -0/+58That's not normal, that's ***** up....
- catbeller, on 07/22/2008, -1/+1My mom and brother pulled that trick once. There's nothing you can do. The cops believe who, you? She threatened me with cops for years while I paid her bills. Yes, one day I finally walked away, and I thank my first girlfriend for giving me +5 spectacles of plain seeing to get me the hell away from her. And as I said in another part of this discussion, the knife raised towards my girlfriend also told me it was time to go. I have issues about people who try to control other people. I can't imagine why.
- BossKey, on 07/22/2008, -2/+70He called it "The Aristocrats"

- wheresmclean, on 07/22/2008, -13/+2Yea, domestic violence isn't serious at all. Moron.
If found guilty I hope they put him away for a while, good actor or not, this is deplorable.- sandersdamnit, on 07/22/2008, -3/+40you don't know what's ***** true and what isn't, in this day and age all a woman has to do is accuse a man of something and right away the police are there. In domestic assault cases in the US the man is automatically placed in handcuffs regardless of whether he did anything or not. His mother and sister could be money hungry cold hearted bitches just looking for a slice of the TDK pie.
- cjh24, on 07/22/2008, -1/+2way to prejudge there ms wheresmclean....
like 50% of your recent activity is on this one topic (covering several articles), do you have some personal grudge with christian bale or something? - diggmaddy, on 07/22/2008, -2/+2I agree with sandersdamnit. Women have abused the "charges of abuse" so much that they've lost all their credibility while making such charges. Law enforcement officers might act as is written in the law by arresting the guy, but don't expect me to believe it to be true just because a "troubled woman" said it.
- Mononuclear, on 07/22/2008, -2/+3Famous people get special treatment. A poor nobody robs $100 from the gas station and cops break down his door and take him away. Someone rich and/or famous steals millions of dollars and the cops call them and ask them to come to the police station and turn themselves in sometime in the next few weeks.
- roflcopterdown, on 07/22/2008, -1/+1Are you reading the same article? Christian Bale didn't steal millions of dollars. He yelled at his mom. If the police break down anyone's door for yelling at your mother and sister, then society has a bigger problem than favorable treatment of the rich on its hands.

There are reports circulating that Christian Bale was arrested for verbal assault, and one of Bale's rep is echoing that. Who knew, but we called around jolly old England and found there is such a thing as verbal assault, Class 4 and Class 5. Class 4 is more aggravated than 5, with "an intent to cause alarm."
Wow, the UK is one ***** up place if you can get arrested for yelling at somebody.- HappyNihilist, on 07/22/2008, -0/+18Perhaps some UK Diggers can jump in on this. "Terroristic threats" is probably the American equivalent of the Class 4 verbal assault. I'm guessing words like "kick your ass" or something of the like were thrown about and mom & sis used that to file a complaint.
- thailand1972, on 07/22/2008, -1/+29"Wow, the UK is one ***** up place if you can get arrested for yelling at somebody. "
Yep. But it tends to be only if it's a man verbally "assaulting" a woman. The police are pretty "chivalrist" here (despite the fact we're supposed to be living in an equal society). The feminist-friendly law makers have been making things up as they go along for the last 30 years in the UK. Police come in and arrest you on the say-so of the "victim". ***** up country indeed. - wexmajor, on 07/22/2008, -1/+9I thought it was common knowledge that the UK is a police state.
- dthebear, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1getting arrested for yelling? that is just ***** lame
- Renster84, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4How totally under researched? Class 4 and Class 5?
How about Section 5 - Cause Alarm Harresment or distress.
or perhapes Section 4 - Threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour
or even Section 4a - Intentional Harassment, Alarm or Distress
Basically look at it like this;
"***** you" (general audience) = sec 5
"***** YOU" targeted, intentional. = sec 4.a
"***** YOU, I'M GOING TO BREAK YOUR LEGS" = section 4.
Public Order act, i think, 1986.
It stops people acting like ***** in the streets, shouting at each other and generally helps keeps the queens peace. - EquesArdor, on 07/23/2008, -0/+9Does that mean I can have every English kid I've ever met on Xbox LIVE arrested?

- pinkcherry, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3I know we do not know the details, but this sounds like his mom and sis wanted a piece of the pie. Maybe asking of money or something, and he declined them.

- stagmire, on 07/22/2008, -30/+273Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as, uh, anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your ass. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and, uh, Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
