Jason Bateman is getting a lot of shit from the nerd community. Yesterday the iPhone 4G was released, and typically, Apple stores had lines around the block of people dying to get their hands on their new toy. One of Los Angeles’ most popular Apple stores, the Grove location, had a particularly bad line. Arrested Development star Jason Bateman showed up to the mall and joined the line, but was quickly ushered to the front because an Apple store employee recognized him.
Now people are all up in arms and saying that Jason’s celebrity got him access to a phone that they had been waiting for all day. I can understand the frustration of the people waiting in line (don’t you hate it when you get cut at a bar or a bank or anywhere?) but let’s be real: It’s not like the dude showed up and cut the line immediately. And if an Apple employee, for whatever reason, singled you out and told you that you could cut a 200-something person line and not stand in the hot sun for two hours, would you “do the right thing” and tell them no thanks? Probably not.
Celebrities get preferential treatment all the time, but in the grand scheme of things, this is small beans. It’s not like he got away with murder or something.
I don't understand the link to the movie Sister/Sister…?
In Apple's opinion, I'm sure he is more deserving. Their product is much more likely to be seen and photographed in his hands than most of the other people who were waiting in that line. Free publicity!
Oh my god how ridiculously adorable is his daughter?
I don't get the link either. I've heard Mario Lopez raped someone and Matthew Broderick and Monique both killed someone while driving but Sister, Sister?
So glad I'm not the only one confused by that link. I thought I was just totally ignorant to some current event about one of them killing someone.
If he were an A-lister, he wouldn't have had to even go to the store. Give him a break. ha.
AGREED
Seriously! I didn't even read the article cuz I was just looking at his cute, beautiful, daughter!
i bet she meant to post “moesha”, for brandy.
Totally agreed! Look at the response so far……WTF sup with sister sister?
“iPhone 4” is not 4g. Sprint's HTC Evo is the only phone operating on 4g networks as of late.
it seems to be a typo because the same page is linked to in the post for the Eclipse première.
Perhaps it was meant to link to this film where he plays a character who tries to kill his boss.

OMG, she's like the tiniest Mallory Keaton.
Wait a God damned minute!
Tia and Tamara got away with murder????
am I the only one who thinks his daughter kinda looks like Regina Spektor? hahahahhahahah She's extremely adorable!
Bateman and his ugly baby are dead to me.
His daughter is seriously so cute! :) Who is his wife because she must take after her!
Look, the guy could have sent his assistant or had his manager call in a favor, but instead he showed up at 4:45AM to wait in line like everybody else. The employee sees him and escorts him inside … is he really gonna say no?! Would you?!?! Give the guy an effing break!
Let’s worry about real issues, like the BP oil spill!
