That's about as close to a smile as your gonna get!

Christian Bale is back on the promotional trail following the assault accusations leveled against him by his mom and sister.

The actor showed up to the Barcelona premiere of The Dark Knight on Thursday evening.

Christian posed for pictures but bypassed reporters and their pesky questions.

Bale was accompanied by his wife, Sandra 'Sibi' Blazic.

Wifey is said to be at the center of Sunday night's controversy. Christian's mom said some NOT SO NICE things about her.

That really pissed him off!

Hey, at least he's smiling now. Sorta.

Being an emo kid could be illegal in Russia soon!

The government is trying to pass a laws that would heavily regulate emo websites and ban emo and goth dress style in schools and government buildings.

The new laws are apparently being driven by fears that "emo" encourages depression and suicide.

There were mass protests by Russian emo kids this past weekend.

Dmitry Gilevich of Russian emo band MAIO said at a protest, "Expressing psychological emotions is not forbidden by law."

Poor emo kids!

England and Mexico hate on you and now Russia does too.

Hey serial daters!

If you think breaking things off by voicemail is a-OK, there's a new mobile service out in the market place that's just for you, according to a new report.

A service called Slydial lets you connect directly with another person's cell phone voicemail by bypassing the traditional ringing process.

You no longer have to wait til he's on the subway or she's on a plane to place the stressful break up call!

Or if you're too chicken to ask someone out on a date, don't speak to them and be guaranteed to get their vm.

Sounds perrrrfect!

Recipients of the Slydial call would get a voicemail notification, and sometimes a 'missed call' notification.

But, there are constraints to this service. It can only be used in the U.S. right now, and generally won't work with prepaid cell phones.

Also, "Sly" dialers must have the caller ID feature activated on their phones to prevent people from using it to harass people undetected.

The founder of Slydial, thinks it can be useful not only in the dating scene, but also in the hectic business world, "Everybody has gone through the scenario where they've called somebody and just hoped they got voicemail so they didn't have to have a conversation."

True, true!

We gotta say that breakup by Slydial is definitely more humane than breakup by text!

As we mentioned earlier this week, homophobe and hate monger Michael Savage completely trashed all autistic children and their parents on his radio show recently.

Most memorably when he said "I’ll tell you what autism is. In 99% percent of the cases, it’s a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out. That’s what autism is.”

And now, finally, some radio stations are fighting back.

Making a step in the right direction is Mississippi.

Steve Davenport, head of the Super Talk network in Mississippi, called Savage's remarks "beyond inexcusable."

The network of seven stations has announced they will no longer carry Savage's radio show, Savage Nation, after his ridiculous remarks.

Davenport continues, “Effective immediately, Michael Savage and his Savage Nation Radio Show have been cancelled on all Super Talk Mississippi stations,”

Savage has also lost a major advertiser for his program in AFLAC insurance.

A statement released by the company says, “AFLAC has a strong commitment to helping children through the AFLAC Cancer Center and AFLAC foundation. We understand that radio hosts pick on any number of targets however we found his recent comments about autistic children to be both inappropriate and insensitive.”

Savage on the other hand is trying to validate what he said.

On his website, Savage writes, “My comments about autism were meant to boldly awaken parents and children to the medical community’s attempt to label too many children or adults as ‘autistic.’”

But if that were the case, why would he say that the problem with most autistic kids is that "They don’t have a father around to tell them: ‘Don’t act like a moron. You’ll get nowhere in life.”

John Gilmore, executive director of Autism United, says "We are asking him to be fired and we want to make advertisers aware of what he is broadcasting.”

What do U think should happen?

And the comic book heroes just keep coming to the cinema!

The next hero to be transformed from the comics to film will be Hercules. And, no, the TV version, Kevin Sorbo, won't be reprising his role from the '90s show.

The flick will be directed by Peter Berg, who also directed Hancock and will be based on the five-issue comicbook series by Steve Moore.

The movie, which will be called Hercules: The Thracian Wars, is said to stay true to the comicbook.

Producer Larry Levine says, "What resonated for them was that this was character driven, about a character who’s more man than god, with conflicts and redemption."

We not sure we'd classify Hercules in the same category as Superman, Batman, and Spiderman. He just seems more mythical to us.

Will U go watch the new Hercules flick?

A British paper is claiming that Peaches Geldof's collapse / drug overdose on Sunday was caused by her inadvertently inhaling fumes from hair dye.

Apparently, claims to she forgot to open a window while dyeing her hair.

Ha! How much hair dye did she sniff?!

Do y'all believe that??

Keep in mind that paramedics were called to the scene to revive Peaches after she lost consciousness AND she asked for the incident to be kept secret.

Don't you hate it when people think you might be stupid enough to believe something so obviously full of shit?

Another day, more shirtless pics of Crissy!

Cristiano Ronaldo soaks up the yummy cancerous California rays poolside at his ritzy Los Angeles hotel.

He's still here.

And he won't be happy until his skin is the texture of leather!

American Vogue may be in the shitter, but Italian Vogue is red hot!

Its 'all black' July issue was so popular that they went back and reprinted 10,000 issues for the US market.

The July Italian Vogue featured only black models in its editorial spreads.

Who said people of color don't sell magazines???

The notorious Naomi Campbell was the cover girl.

Photog Stephen Meisel, though, said that there was a "glaring lack" of black models in the advertisements.

Fashion houses Valentino, Prada, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Dior featured white models.

Hopefully all magazines will show more diversity in every issue!

It keeps getting better and better for Warner Bros, though the same can't be said for Christian Bale.

The Dark Knight took in $24.M on Monday.

And, now we have yesterday's earnings!

The film made an addition $20.8M on Tuesday. Most movie's debut to that number (or less) on a Friday!

The Dark Knight's domestic earnings currently stand at $203.7 million, in less than one week of release.

It's the first flick to cross the $200 million mark in 5 days.

Crazy!

PETA is upset with the new Batman movie.

As many of you saw, since the film has done so much business, The Dark Knight had some "unfriendly" dog scenes in the pic.

Particularly the scene where Batman "was punching out dogs left and right." In self-defense of course.

But some PETA is asking why with so many gadgets that Batman has on hand, the only way to defend himself was to hurt the dogs?

What do U think?

Is it just an innocent part of the movie, or is PETA overreacting?

Check out their list of the Top 10 Animal-Friendly Superheroes….after the jump.

10. Hellboy—This superhero may be someone that would make you cross the street if he came your way (the red skin and horns might be a bit intimidating), but he's just a big teddy bear with a love for kittens (and many successful attempts to save them).

9. Aquaman—The King of Atlantis, Aquaman can commune with sea creatures, whom he considers citizens of his ocean realm, and routinely protects them from being abused or exploited by the surface-dwellers.

8. Black Panther—As the leader of the African nation of Wakanda, the Black Panther has banned the evil White Gorilla Cult from his country. Members of the cult seek to gain power by killing one of Wakanda's rare white gorillas, bathing in their blood, and eating their flesh (um, gross). The villain known as Man-Ape gained his superpowers by doing exactly that—incurring the wrath of the Black Panther and becoming one of his greatest foes.

7. Superman—In a one-shot "PSA comic" entitled "Superman: For the Animals," Supes rescues a kitten from being thrown off a bridge by a group of kids named (seriously) Ballser, Charlie, Donuts, and Eightball and, in the process, teaches everyone a valuable lesson about not picking on anyone weaker than you—including animals.

6. Captain Planet—He just wants to save the planet from the evil Captain Pollution! And that, of course, includes all our wildlife friends who live there. Point of fact, though: "Heart"? NOT an element.

5. Thor—In the Ultimate Avengers animated movie, we find Thor out at sea with a group of activists protesting whale slaughter. If only his fellow Norwegians in the real world got the picture that whaling is a thing of the past!

4. Beast Boy—Everyone's favorite Teen Titan also happens to be vegan (and not just because he's been hanging out on peta2.com like pretty much every other teenager). You would be, too, if you had the metamorphic ability to turn into any animal and therefore had a little compassion for the ones that get eaten.

3. Animal Man—This lesser-known DC hero can mimic the abilities of animals and is an ardent advocate for animal rights. He's a vegetarian, and in Animal Man #15, Animal Man saves a group of dolphins from cruel fishers and drops the villains in the ocean to drown—only to be saved by one of the very dolphins he was trying to kill.

2. Wolverine and Jean Gray—In X-Men Unlimited #44, Wolverine catches three neighborhood boys in the act of torturing and killing animals for kicks—and offers to return the favor on behalf of his furry friends. Using her psychic powers, Jean Gray instead makes the boys experience in their minds the pain and suffering that they caused to their innocent victims. In the next issue … Colonel Sanders!

1. Wonder Man—In Civil War: Frontline #5, part of Marvel's epic Civil War story arc, Wonder Man is interrupted on his way to an important function by two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents looking for answers about a mysterious aquarium store bombing (read the book). The important function? A PETA banquet. 'Nuff said.
