HGTV, LA and Dining Room Tables

I've been watching a lot of HGTV since coming to LA. My favorite shows are House Hunters and House Hunters International. There's also another show I like to watch called For Rent, but only because it makes me angry.

When it comes to apartments/homes, I think living in New York for the past eleven years has made me bitter because there was this whiny broad on For Rent a few nights ago who was looking at a huge place—A HUGE PLACE—and was like, "There's no place for a dining room table..."

B*TCH, YOU'RE LUCKY TO GET A KITCHEN IN NEW YORK.

I hated her.

Now there's some stupid lady on House Hunters who wants a townhouse with a fireplace that she can turn on with a light switch. IT HAS TO BE A LIGHT SWITCH because she doesn't want to bend down and flip a switch on the floor.

WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE?

Anyway, I know my LA update is WAY overdue (and truth be told I wrote a long one last week but for some reason it didn't save so I lost the whole thing and I was so angry that I just said, "Ah, f*ck it," and closed the computer instead of rewriting) but to give you a quick update, I AM SO HAPPY HERE. I MEAN, I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY. And I think living here and watching HGTV—both of these things combined—has made me realize that New York was just beating me down. I mean, the fireplace lady—yes, she's an idiot. But there's nothing wrong with wanting a dining room table. Why did I get so mad at that lady?

Since being here, at least once a day I ask myself why I have lived in New York for so long. (It's like I had Stockholm Syndrome or something.) CALIFORNIA IS AWESOME. It's like the promised land. It's sunny all the time and there are birds and flowers everywhere. I have space out here. I have a sofa on the patio out here. I HAVE A SOFA OUTSIDE. I haven't seen one rat since I've been here. But hummingbirds? THEY ZIP BY MY HEAD EVERY DAY. I am so happy.

I'm supposed to go back to New York in November, but truth be told, I'm not sure I will.

Christian Bale Fronts DETAILS December 2013

With his upcoming film “Out of the Furnace” slated to hit theaters on December 6th, Christian Bale pitched in on promotions by covering the December 2013 issue of DETAILS magazine.

During his sit down with the publication, the 39-year-old actor chatted about the harsh criticism Ben Affleck received for taking on the Batman role and shares details about his career.

Check out a few highlights from Mr. Bale’s interview below. For more, be sure to visit DETAILS!

On looking for the perfect part:
"It's all over the map for me, to be honest. I'd say inconsistency is something I enjoy. But sometimes it's the character, sometimes it's the director, sometimes it's the script, and sometimes—holy s***—it's all three! And sometimes you just want or need to work, you know? Looking back over the films I've made, it's been every reason under the sun for doing them."

On taking care of the business portion of Hollywood:
“I'm a f**king awful businessman. I got no idea how to sell a film. I don't know why people want to see certain films. But it's a strange brew, you know, because I don't feel like an artist or anything—there's way too much business involved in this whole thing for that. But equally there's way too much creativity for this to be like any normal business."

On reacting to Ben Affleck’s “Batman” internet critics:
"Somebody pointed it out to me. Look, there's no middle ground on the Internet. It's just extreme feelings. They love you or abhor you. Ben knows that, and I doubt if he spent one minute worrying about it."

Megan Fox Talks Second Pregnancy: "It's Been A Lot Easier"

Checking up on their pearly whites, Megan Fox and her hubby Brian Austin Green took a family visit to the dentist in Beverly Hills, CA on Tuesday (November 26).

Looking casually beautiful, the soon-to-be mom of two sported studded winter boots, black leggings and a green jacket while her main squeeze carried their son Noah.

Speaking of Fox's second pregnancy, the "Transformers" star talked to E! News about the smooth sailing this recent time around.

"For the most part, I would say it's been a lot easier," the 27-year-old said. "I think that could have a lot to do with the fact that I already have a baby, so I'm so distracted taking care of him, that I don't really have time to sit and lament on the fact that I'm pregnant or indulge my pregnancy."
