Christian Bale rep denies party rumours

Christian Bale's representative has dismissed suggestions that his behaviour following the Screen Actors Guild Awards caused tension with his wife.

This week, Star magazine reported that the actor, who is tipped for an Oscar for his role in The Fighter, has been "hitting the party scene".

The publication also suggested that the star had received a "sharp rebuke" from Harvey Weinstein during his company's SAGs after-party last month.

According to a source supposedly close to Bale and wife Sandra Blazic, his drinking "is straining his relationship".

However, Bale's representative told Gossip Cop: "[There is] no truth in the story in the Star," adding that the actor was not present at the Weinstein event.
