Well-toned thespian Mark Wahlberg was hospitalized Friday morning after suffering from smoke inhalation on the Boston set of his latest flick, “The Fighter,” Radaronline.com reports. 

Wahlberg was working Thursday night on a scene for the movie, which also stars Christian Bale and Amy Adams, and “a smoke machine was being used for atmosphere and apparently he breathed in too much  smoke,” a well-placed source told the Web site. By Friday morning, the Boston native was gasping for air like nobody’s bidness and was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital where he was treated.

We refuse to use the term “Fighter” to explain Wahlberg’s relatively quick release from the hospital Friday afternoon in an “all is well” kind of way. No doubt this unfortunate mishap has the potential to morph into a very special episode of “Entourage.”

Chritian Bale, recently arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister is refusing to talk about the incident, claiming that it is a “private matter.”

Sorry, Chris, but when you are the star of one of the Big Summer Blockbusters of ‘08, everything you do is interesting to the press, and the fact that you have gotten into some legal trouble just turns the spotlight on you even more intently.

There really should be some kind of a celebrity manual that is issued as soon as people start to know who you are so that these people know that they can’t choose to work in such a public medium and still have privacy when they decide they want to be left alone. If they didn’t want people to pay attention to them, they would have chosen a different type of work.

If the allegations are true, Christian Bale, the star of the Dark Knight has been behaving more like the Prince of Darkness. Bale has apparently been arrested for assaulting his mother, age 61, and his 40-year-old sister.

“A 34-year-old man attended a London Police Station on Tuesday by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He currently remains in custody,” a rep for Britain’s Scotland Yard confirms. No doubt he’ll blame it on the pressures of being famous or some lame excuse like that.
