"Dark Knight" indeed.

Christian Bale can be heard in newly surfaced audio delivering a long, profanity-laced verbal thrashing to a cinematographer and anyone who tried to calm him down on the set of the upcoming "Terminator Salvation."

The three-minute clip was posted Monday on the Web site TMZ.com.

In it, the actor who portrayed Batman in "The Dark Knight" rails against cinematographer Shane Hurlbut for apparently walking behind co-star Bryce Dallas Howard and through Bale's line of sight, considered a film-set foul.

"If you do it one more time I ain't walking on this set if you're still hired!" Bale howls in one of the few publishable moments from the clip.

The incident took place last July on the set at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico.

Ex-Manager Sues Britney

Britney Spears' former manager and friend Osama "Sam" Lutfi has filed a lawsuit against the singer and her parents for libel and defamation.
Lutfi filed his claim Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, just three days after a judge granted Spears' father a restraining order against Lutfi and paparazzo Adnan Ghalib.

The lawsuit provides pages of Lutfi's version of events, including his claim that he urged the singer to reconcile with her parents. Spears' father, Jamie, now serves as her conservator after taking control of her life a year ago with a court's permission.

Collins Accused Of DUI

Authorities say they arrested actor and TV host Gary Collins on suspicion of drunken driving.

According to an arrest report, deputies in the California coastal county Santa Barbara pulled Collins over Saturday evening after noticing him driving a motor home erratically. The 70-year-old was arrested by the California Highway Patrol after failing a field sobriety test. He was later released on $25,000 bail.

Ladies, NBA Or NFL?

The Kardashian sisters advise women who have a pro athlete fetish to date football players and eschew the National Basketball Association.

"It's easier to date a football player, for sure," Khloe Kardashian told People. Last week Khloe split up with NBA stud Rashad McCants. Khloe says her sister Kim, who is seeing National Football League star Reggie Bush, has it made: "Football players have one game a week, and they practice every day, but they're all at home. ... In basketball, they're on the road all the time."
