Christian Bale is now up for the lead in the forthcoming Dark Tower film series!

Fresh off his Golden Globe win for the “The Fighter,” sources say Christian Bale has pulled ahead of Javier Bardem and Viggo Mortensen as Ron Howard and Stephen King‘s choice for “Tower” main character, gunslinger Roland Deschain.

This is sudden news, I was already routing for Viggo Mortensen, but I can’t say I would be upset if Bale got it. Whomever they pick, this series is going to be one of the most massive movie events of the decade.

Leaving the treatment center she has been in since November of 2010, Demi Lovato has completed her stay at the facility and is back in the Los Angeles area.

The Disney darling entered the center in early November 2010 after getting into an altercation while on tour with The Jonas Brothers in South America. Lovato punched back up dancer Alex Welch in the face while boarding a plane with the other dancers on tour. She reportedly blamed Welch for telling her handlers about a previous night’s party.

While in rehab, scandal did not stop for the teenager as racy photos leaked of Lovato with her girl friends.

Lovato will attempt to get a regular routine down in L.A. and continue treatment.

Of all the stupid things…

Glee creator Ryan Murphy took a verbal swing at the band Kings of Leon in the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter. Murphy is still sore over KOL denying the show’s request to license their song “Use Somebody” that happened back in August.

At the time, lead vocalist Caleb Followill said the group was denying a lot of licensing opportunities (not just Glee) because they wanted to be selective and not just sell their rights to make money.

“We got an offer to appear on an episode of Ugly Betty. They wanted us to play ourselves. We had some people call us up wanting to know if we’d allow Use Somebody to appear in the trailer for their next movie, and we turned them down,” Caleb Followill tells NME magazine. “Next day, they called back and tried to put us through to the star of the movie—I won’t name names, but he’s an incredibly famous actor—to let him try and convince us to agree to do it. I was like, ‘Man, don’t even waste your energy’.”

Let’s be honest. This happens a lot. An artist or group doesn’t want to “sell out” and they deny anything that’s popular. And as much as I happen to love Glee, I was kinda rooting for KOL on this one.

Murphy didn’t see it that way. In fact, he seems to have taken it a little too personally. Hit the link for the rest of the saga.
