Maria Shriver Reveals Current Relationship With Arnold Schwarzenegger After His Affair With Housekeeper

Posted About One Year Ago

Maria Shriver has opened up about her current relationship with ex-husband Arnold Schwarzenegger, following the fallout from his shocking affair. In 2011, Arny admitted to fathering a child, now 27-year-old Joseph Baena, with their former housekeeper Mildred Baena during their marriage. Shriver had no idea about the child until Schwarzenegger revealed the truth years later. The revelation led to their separation, though it took years for them to officially divorce as Shriver sought healing through therapists, shamans, and psychics. Now, Shriver says she’s in a good place, and despite the past, she and Arnold have found a way to co-parent their four children—Katherine, 35, Patrick, 31, Christina, 33, and Christopher, 27. Maria talked about this on the Oprah Podcast.

The White Lotus Condemned By Duke For Using College Apparel In Violent Scene

Posted About One Year Ago

Duke University isn’t thrilled with the latest season of The White Lotus. The university issued a statement criticizing the HBO series for a scene in which Timothy, played by Jason Isaacs, wears a Duke T-shirt while imagining his own death. "The White Lotus not only uses our brand without permission, but does so in a way that is deeply troubling, misrepresents our values, and simply crosses the line," said Frank Tramble, Duke’s VP for communications, marketing, and public affairs. "Suicide is the second-leading cause of death on college campuses. As images from the show circulate widely on social media, we are using our platform to promote mental health awareness and remind people that help is available." Tramble emphasized that while Duke supports artistic expression, the use of its federally registered trademarks on a character in such a sensitive context creates confusion and falsely implies an endorsement or affiliation.

Murrow, a role he said he was not ready to play when he directed the film in 2005. “Murrow had a gravitas to him that at 42 years old I didn’t — I wasn’t able to pull off,” he told 60 Minutes’ Jon Wertheim. The flip side of that, said Clooney, is that there are roles he once played for which he’s now no longer a fit. “Look, I’m 63 years old,” the actor said. “I’m not trying to compete with 25-year-old leading men. That’s not my job. I’m not doing romantic films anymore.”

Alec Baldwin Says Filming Reality Show During Rust Trial Was Unique

Posted About One Year Ago

Alec Baldwin is opening up about what it was like filming his family's new reality show The Baldwins amid last year's Rust shooting trial. While speaking to People at an event celebrating the grand opening of the new Planet Hollywood in Times Square on Tuesday, Baldwin spoke about the TLC show, which premiered on Feb. 23, admitting it was a unique time for the family when they filmed the show. The actor stood trial last July after being indicted for involuntary manslaughter following the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie Rust in October 2021. Hutchins was killed and writer-director Joel Souza was injured after a prop gun that Alec was holding on the New Mexico set discharged. Cameras began rolling on The Baldwins the month before Alec headed to trial — and the series shows how he and wife Hilaria juggled parenting and day-to-day life with their kids alongside the legal proceedings. On the third day of the trial, the judge threw out the case due to a late discovery of evidence. The case was dismissed with prejudice after Alec’s lawyers argued that the prosecution withheld evidence relevant to the case. Alec told People: “When I think of the reality show, many things occur to me after the fact like when we were doing it, it was a bit of a unique time for us, but afterward when we did it, I realized that that's who we are." "The kids have fun, the kids are happy. It's not like we're staging anything or faking. The kids really are in each other's lives," the actor continued. "They have friends and go to play dates and this and that, but they would rather stay home with each other," he added while talking about what the camera captures.”

"It's been pretty wonderful, I have to say. The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming. And I'm very grateful," O'Donnell said in the TikTok video as she revealed her international move. She said that she's in the process of getting Irish citizenship as her grandparents hail from the country, before expanding on the reasoning behind her move. "I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that's what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are," she said. "You know, I'm happy. Clay is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home and I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country and when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back," she said. She continued by seemingly referencing changes made in the country since President Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20: "It's been heartbreaking to see what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know.”

Posted About One Year Ago

David Hasselhoff's ex-wife Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff has reportedly died by suicide at the age of 62. Bach-Hasselhoff, who worked as an actress, was found dead at her $2 million Hollywood Hills home of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Wednesday night. Authorities said there was no suicide note left at her home, which is a stone's throw from Universal Studios. Bach-Hasselhoff was married to the Baywatch star between 1989 and 2006, when she filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. They had a contentious divorce, with arguments about spousal support continuing until 2017. They shared two daughters, 32-year-old Hayley and 34-year-old Taylor. Officials reportedly found Bach Hasselhoff's remains after her family became concerned when they did not hear from her for days. Paramedics were called to her house on reports of an unconscious woman shortly after 10 pm Wednesday. She had left a comment on Hayley's Instagram just hours before her body was found. Bach-Hasselhoff's debut movie role was Francis Ford Coppola's Rumble Fish in 1983. She met Hasselhoff on the set of Knight Rider. In 1989, she also snared a role in Baywatch, playing café owner Kaye Morgan. Some of her other TV roles included jobs on The Young and the Restless, The Fall Guy and Sirens.
