"[the ceremony] took place in the home of Wilma Mankiller, former chief of the Cherokee Nation and Steinem's friend..."
Do I sense a little cosmic irony at play here?
Seriously I think this is pretty courageous of Steinem since I can imagine her catching flak from all kinds of flak for this. Of course, whether or not she and Bale stay together is a totally different thing.

"...flak from all kinds of flak "
Er, sorry - catching flak from all kind of people for this. I'm going back to bed now.

I'm still waiting for her to get her own sitcom on CBS.

"Steinem" Thursday nights! Gloria and her three friends, including Camille Paglia, live in the Upper West Side of New York, hang out all day, obsessing about the rights of working women, all while refusing to do windows! It's "Golden Girls" meets Norma Rae!

The thing I find completely bizarre is that Gloria Steinem is now Christian Bale's step-mother... Or did anyone else notice that?

Wonder if that'll influence any decision he makes about, say, an American Psycho II? :)
