No word on exactly why Christian Bale threw a tantrum fit on the set of “Terminator 4” or allegedly attacked his mother, Jenny, and sister, Sharon, but the theory that he was having marital problems has been ruled out. Contrary to headlines suspecting that his eight-year marriage to Sandra Blazic is on the rocks, sources tell E! News that “his and Sibi’s marriage is solid.” ‘Sibi’ also stood right by her man as he strolled down the red carpet in Barcelona at the Spain premiere of “The Dark Night” last night. Of course he avoided questions about his outbursts and family issues, but did take 30 minutes to sign autographs for superhero fans waiting outside. What a guy.

El no quiere Taco Bell. 50 Cent is suing the fast food restaurant chain, claiming it used his name without permission in ads asking him to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent, or 99 Cent. In court documents filed Wednesday, the federal lawsuit says the ad is part of Taco Bell’s “Why Pay More?” campaign, which touts menu items for under a buck. “We made a good-faith charitable offer to 50 Cent to change his name to either 79, 89, or 99 Cent for one day by rapping his order at a Taco Bell,” Rob Poetsch, Taco Bell’s spokesperson, retorted in a statement, “And we would have been very pleased to make the $10,000 donation to the charity of his choice.” Well, now the corporation might have to pony up to $4 million, which is what Fiddy’s seeking in damages. Can you just picture some middle manager in a cheap suit coming up with this hack campaign around a conference table? Then he came up with the brilliant stroke of a $10,000 donation! Phhhffff! Ten grand?? Cheap bastards! Donald Trump needs to come in and fire whatever hack is behind the hack campaign!

Country singer Mindy McCready has checked herself into an Arizona rehab facility after an emergency visit to a Nashville, Tennessee hospital from a drug and booze binge. “Mindy McCready did receive emergency care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center,” her publicist stated. “Other issues made it prudent for her to seek longer-term and broader-based treatment. To her credit, she has entered into an extended-care facility where she will receive the care needed.” The NY Daily News says her on-again/off-again relationship with former Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens took a toll on her and led to a nervous breakdown. They started seeing each other when she was just 15 in 1991.

Brad Pitt is waiving his big stick…his attorney is threatening legal action against any media outlet that publishes photos of him and his family (including the new twins) on the grounds of their French estate.
