Reid is using Senate rules to BLOCK any and all attempts to get a vote on lifting the offshore drilling ban! This is classic hardball political tactics and we need to s ...

We're told when Christian's mom and dad divorced nearly two decades ago, his mom forced him to choose between the two. Christian picked his dad, and father and son moved out to L.A. in 1992, where his dad became his manager. Somehow Bale's relationship with the mom has been "bitter" ever since. Bale has told friends his ...
