Anyone Got A Shoehorn? Christian Bale is reported to have been having a tricky time on the set of Batman Begins - getting into his costume, that is. Currently filming in Iceland, Bale is said (by a probably spurious insider) to have been unable to don the iconic Batsuit. "The trouble is the suit is so tight, it takes three people to squeeze Christian into it. He ripped one suit then finally managed to get into another with the help of more than a few squirts of talcum powder." Probably rubbish but oh-so-funny if it's true. Porn Again Former Edward Scissorhands Johnny Depp revealed his knowledge of top shelp material recently when a reporter from E!Online asked if the actor had ever had the pleasure of watching porn spoof Edward Penishands. "I certainly did. I absolutely did. And there was a sequel as well- Edward Penishands 2. I think it was either Tim [Burton] or John Waters who sent it to me. It might have been both. Tim and I were both quite proud they decided to do that. It was low budget and cheesy, but it was hilarious to watch. Those hands...they served him well." **Your Name's Not Down
