Camille Grammer: Not Returning for Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

According to a new report, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will look a bit different on season three. Despite an all-time ratings high for this franchise on Monday night, producers are said to be axing Camille Grammer from the roster and are already on the lookout for her replacement. “Producers are asking Lisa Vanderpump, Adrienne Maloof and Kyle Richards if any of their wealthy female friends would be interested in appearing on the show,” a Bravo insider tells Radar Online. “It’s an open secret that Camille most likely won’t be back for a third season. She came off as such a bitch during season one, whereas this season she has been very reserved, and she isn’t exactly eager to return.” It’s true that executives were concerned early on during filming that Camille was so worrie d over losing custody of her children that she refrained from the customary antics of the nut jobs who appear on the show. And, yes, ratings are high (2.2 million viewers this week!), but let’s be honest. That will continue to be the case as long as estranged spouses of of the stars continue to kill themselves in between seasons.

Nick Cannon Focuses On Kids After Health Scare

‘I love everything that they do and just want to be a part of everything,’ Cannon tells MTV News By Nadeska Alexis Nick Cannon Photo: MTV News During his recent hospital stay for treatment of kidney failure, Nick Cannon got plenty of support from his wife, Mariah Carey — he referred to her as his “angel” during our interview — but his twins Moroccan and Monroe were also a key part of the entertainer’s decision to adapt a healthier lifestyle . During his first day back at the office on Tuesday, Cannon told MTV News that his health scare intensified the way he feels about his family. “Right now my kids are everything — they’re always going to be everything, but when something like this happens to you, everything else is shut out and you’re just focused on them,” he said. “So every second you just notice so many things … it just makes it so much more poignant. I love everything that they do and just want to be a part of everything.” Cannon, who has temporarily adapted a strict renal diet, said that his time in the hospital made all of the important things very clear. “There’s a second where you’re thinking, ‘What if I’m not able to instill the things I want to instill into my children?’ It just makes you think, like, ‘I need to give them everything I could possibly give them right now,’ and obviously it starts with love.” The radio and stand-up comedy host was hospitalized during a vacation with his family in Aspen, Colorado, after experiencing severe pains in his lower back. Doctors initially suspected kidney stones as the culprit, before more tests showed that his kidneys were shutting down due to an overdose of protein, medication he was taking and a lack of proper sustenance. “I always considered myself as someone who was in great shape, but I was doing too much [to my body] so my immune system got confused and just started attacking my kidneys,” Cannon told MTV News. “You look at my Twitter picture and I look like I’m in shape, but I was putting the wrong stuff into my body, speeding all the time, not sleeping and eating properly. It’s all about taking time and really caring about yourself and how you fuel yourself.” Related Artists Nick Cannon

Michael Biehn Talks Iconic Roles and Set Strife on The Divide: ‘The Actors Hated Each Other’

In a career spanning three decades Michael Biehn has notched a number of iconic roles in beloved genre fare, from future freedom fighter Kyle Reese in The Terminator to Corporal Hicks in Aliens to one of his personal favorites, Tombstone villain Johnny Ringo. And that work has borne him witness to his share of tense, chaotic sets under some of the strongest personalities in the business. But no shoot of Biehn’s was as intense as the friction-filled production of this week’s The Divide , Xavier Gens’ bleak horror tale about strangers trapped in a basement after the apocalypse, which Biehn says was fueled by the “hatred” and “bitterness” of combative actors turning on each other under claustrophobic conditions. “The actual film shoot was absolutely brutal… the actors hated each other,” Biehn admitted to Movieline in Los Angeles, describing a set atmosphere seemingly designed by director Gens, Biehn says, to encourage conflict among performers. (Among Biehn’s castmates: Milo Ventimiglia , Lauren German, Rosanna Arquette, Courtney B. Vance, Ashton Holmes, and Michael Eklund, who play an assortment of neighbors in an NYC apartment building that quickly lose their humanity, and their sanity, down below.) Bickering over script changes, on-the-fly adjustments, and dueling egos all factored into the strife, which got so heated the actor says producers had to be called to intervene. “I’ve worked with [William] Friedkin , I’ve worked with Michael Bay ,” Biehn said pointedly, “and there was more tension on this set than any set that I’ve ever been on.” Yet it all worked out in the end — at least for Biehn, who’s proud of the film and happy that Gens allowed his actors to help shape their characters extensively, even if that’s what led to clashing interests on set in the first place. For Biehn that meant having the freedom to give his bigoted antagonist character Mickey a 9/11-themed backstory and a shot at redemption — not to mention a relatability in the face of what Biehn perceives as real-world terrorist threats. (“I think something like this could happen very easily, in my lifetime, where something bad happens… I mean, go on YouTube and look at the video of what they were doing to Qaddafi.”) And ultimately, Biehn says, the final film was satisfying enough that all the bitter infighting, stress, manipulation, and conflict was worth it. “It worked,” he smiled. “I think it worked — and I enjoyed it.” You’ve played so many iconic characters over the years, but at any point did you feel like you needed distance from Kyle Reese or Corporal Hicks? What’s your relationship to those characters now? I didn’t realize they were really iconic until recently. I now have 15-year-old boys and girls that approach me and go, “Johnny Ringo is my favorite character of all time,” or “Hicks is my favorite character,” or “I’m in love with Reese” –- and they weren’t even born when I made the movie. So I’ve come to realize that those three movies are, call them what you call them, they’re classics. My son, who is eight years old, and his boys the other day, at school they were playing The Terminator ! One was the Terminator, one was Kyle Reese, one was Sarah Connor. And he went over and said, “My dad was in The Terminator !” Does that mean he automatically gets to call dibs on Kyle Reese? [Laughs] Yeah! It’s just kind of rewarding to have a young kid come up and say that, so it’s not something that I shy away from at all. They’re great movies and I owe a lot to Jim Cameron and I’m proud to be in them, and they’ll always be around. Do you have a favorite? I have two favorites, and that’s Kyle Reese and Johnny Ringo. Kyle Reese to me is the great hero because he not only was a hard-fighting tough guy, he was also a lover at the same time, so much in love with Sarah. And Johnny Ringo to me was just the best antagonist that I’ve ever played, because I played him as a guy who has a death wish and had done everything that he wanted in life. As far as he was concerned, a gun fight was about as exciting as it was going to get. There’s this moment I have with Val [Kilmer] at the end of the movie where he says he’s serious, and I look at him and say “All right,” and there’s a look in my eye which I think is one of my best moments on film. Like “Oh, this is exciting. This is going to be fun.” It’s not sitting around a bar drinking, it’s not cows, it’s not women, it’s just excitement. From that great antagonist to your latest, your character in The Divide is the firebrand who ratchets up the tension from the start – and this is a movie that gets intense immediately, from the start, as doomsday erupts outside this apartment building. How do you view your character in moral terms? First of all, Xavier [Gens] let us do whatever we wanted with our characters, so I wrote that character. What was on the page to begin with? A bad guy, a crude guy, a racist who’s racist against all creeds. Very negative, cursing all the time. Just a pig who ends up being the antagonist and ends up doing bad things to other people and so forth. Xavier basically brought all of his actors together at the beginning of the making of this movie and said, “You can do whatever you want. This is a sandbox for you to play in.” You could do improv, you could write scenes, you could change your characters -– you could do anything you want. I made that character go from a guy –- everybody was losing their humanity, and I wanted to take this character who originally had no humanity and try to give him back a little humanity. That’s what I tried to do. Basically I wrote with a writer that was helping all the actors write for about three or four days, a week or so, and I kept sending back material. He finally said, “Michael, just write it yourself.” So I basically kind of wrote the character, created the whole back story of the wife and 9/11 and the firemen and all that kind of stuff. That’s an element that I feel is significant, because we open on the New York cityscape being destroyed in a fiery attack. From the very first seconds the film triggers a visceral familiar reaction, and then we find out that Mickey’s a former NYC fireman who’s lost his way. Yes. Basically it’s post-traumatic stress disorder. This is a guy who took one of his teams into the Twin Towers and it came down and he was the only one left standing. He loses, like a lot of men do who are under such wartime circumstances, and he loses his wife and children and starts drinking. He loses his job and turns into this paranoid survivalist and that’s where we find him at the beginning of the movie. You have some understanding of why he’s a racist and why he is the way he is, because of what happened to him. That was his back story, and he is a guy that really down deep was a good person but circumstances just destroyed him. Do you see The Divide as a bleak film, ultimately? Yeah, it’s bleak! It’s about as bleak as it could possibly get. I call it dark, I call it a psychological horror movie. I think what we’re looking at in life right now is bleak. I think everybody should open up their eyes, because this country and this world is not the same one that I grew up in. There’s a lot of stuff going around that is scary, and the world is getting smaller and smaller. I think something like this could happen very easily, in my lifetime, where something bad happens. So I think people should be aware. Is there any way, do you think, to truly prepare oneself for what would happen if placed in the situation characters face in the film? No. No, not really. You could move to Idaho and build yourself a bunker but sooner or later somebody’s going to get you and your family, or your children or your grandchildren, or your grandchildren’s children. It’s crazy to think how entirely possible it feels for human beings to devolve so extremely under circumstances like these. It is, and I think we’re this close. I mean, go on YouTube and look at the video of what they were doing to Qaddafi. I can’t even bring myself to do that. Well, it’s pretty nasty stuff. When you see that, you see what mankind is capable of. That was in the spirit of anger pent up for years and years and years, but they were raping him with a fucking metal rod and shit. Mankind, you know. And it’s not just there; it’s Afghanistan, it’s Pakistan, it’s Africa, it’s in a lot of places that stuff’s going on. And North Korea -– who knows what’s going on with that situation. Do you feel like films like these are a necessary reflection of life? I think that they’re not necessary, but to look at a movie like this and go ‘My God, that was horrible – nothing like that would ever happen’… I think something like that could happen very easily and you have to be prepared to know how you would react, and try to go out with a little bit of humanity. Did the actual film shoot mirror this sort of tension? The actual film shoot was absolutely brutal. The actors hated each other. Why? Was that a product of the filming environment, being stuck in a bunker for so long? It was a product of the fact that Xavier basically said, “If you want to improv something, you can improv something; if you want to write something, write something.” Basically, people would do improvs and somebody would be doing a scene that they thought was their scene for the day and somebody else would be doing an improv and the camera would move over on them and the other actors would get mad. Some actors were more physical than other actors and the other actors were upset with that. Some people felt like their roles were being taken away from them, that they were being upstaged, and they absolutely hated each other. They broke into groups. I’ve worked with [William] Friedkin, I’ve worked with Michael Bay, and there was more tension on this set than any set that I’ve ever been on. Producers were continually called down to the set to break up fights -– not fistfights, not real fights, but it got close. Were you involved in any of this? Well, no. The thing that was good about me is that I didn’t take sides. I didn’t have any sides, I was my own person. So basically I as an elder actor on this set tried to keep some peace between the other actors, and said, “Listen –- just fucking calm down, it’s just a movie.” But there was a lot of hatred and a lot of bitterness on that movie. It was nasty, and we were working in a confined space and everybody stayed in that space because they wanted to be there. These guys, like Michael [Eklund] and Milo [Ventimiglia], they went for it, man. They lost weight; they lost 20 pounds because they didn’t eat, they didn’t shave, they didn’t shower. And they were, you know… you look at Milo’s performance and it’s out of this world, I think, to see the breakdown of his character. And Rosanna [Arquette] is so good in it. It’s just the best ensemble movie I’ve ever been in. So despite the chaos, do you think the final film was worth all of that trouble? Yeah, I do. I think that basically Xavier was smart enough to set it up that way. I think he realized from the beginning that if he did this, he was going to piss off some actors and turn some actors against other actors. I think he knew from the very beginning that the actors weren’t going to get along very well and it went downhill from there. The producers kept having to be called down to set… it was crazy. As a performer, how do you feel about that kind of directorial manipulation? It worked. [Smiles] I think it worked, and I enjoyed it. I was given full freedom to take a character and do anything I wanted with him. He basically said, “Michael, if you don’t like what’s written you write what you want to write,” and I wanted to show a guy that was not just a bad guy all the way through. Michael Eklund, who basically didn’t have hardly anything in that movie -– there was nothing really written in the script for him, not much, maybe a few lines here and there –- was so good that he ends up kind of turning into the bad guy. That was from doing improvs, from writing stuff, and from Xavier just loving his work so much that he ends up turning into the antagonist. Then I was able to take my role and turn him from being the antagonist into somebody that had kind of redeemed himself. And it happened while we were shooting -– I mean, the movie was moving off in different directions as people were improvising and doing different things, and nobody knew what was going on from day to day. That’s somewhat fascinating as a deliberate choice on Xavier’s part, but it seems like it might be scary… It was scary! It wasn’t scary to me, but there were people on set that were scared, that’s for sure. Did you ever worry about how the film would end up? Well, I never worry. It could be either good, or it could not be so good. People like it or they don’t like it. But I’ve done like 60 to 70 movies, and some are good, some aren’t. This one I’m pretty proud of. I like the comparison of the Divide set as being more tense than any you’ve been on, considering the directors you’ve worked with. Yeah, and that’s Billy Friedkin. That’s Jim Cameron. That’s Michael Bay! Speaking of directors, you’ve recently made a foray into directing. What’s the latest with your film The Victim ? We just got picked up by Anchor Bay today, so we’re real excited about that. We were talking to a few different companies for a while and negotiating, then Anchor Bay stepped up and they gave us a deal we’re really happy with. We’re going to release the movie on 50 college campuses; every college has got a movie theater. It’s getting a lot of attention! Congratulations! You’ve described it as a sort of grindhouse movie. Can you elaborate? It’s basically a little grindhouse movie I shot in 12 days, wrote it in three weeks, and did pre-production, cast it, crewed up, went to the Screen Actors Guild, did locations -– did all that stuff in three weeks while I was writing it, then we rolled it into a 12-day shoot. And we got The Victim ! I think we got lucky, people seem to be enjoying it. Now we’ve got people that are going to sell it for us, and that are happy to sell it for us. Lastly, I’ve wondered — of all of the iconic and memorable roles that come up for you with fans, does anybody ever bring up Coach [Biehn’s 1978 starring debut, about a high school athlete who has an inappropriate love affair with his lady coach]? No! I mean, people talk to me about Coach , but not as an iconic piece. Well, consider this a first. There’s something about Coach that is so great, so of an era… [Laughing] These days, she’d go to jail for that! The Divide is in limited release this Friday. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter .

Michael Biehn Talks Iconic Roles and Set Strife on The Divide: ‘The Actors Hated Each Other’

Dear Bossip: He Married Her To Get His Green Card, But I Want To Marry Him & Have His Babies

Dear Bossip , I am a young mother of three. Unfortunately, my children’s father and I are not together. The guy I’m dating I’ve know for about 7 years now. We’ve been just friends for the last 5 years. Shortly after we met in 2006, he moved to Florida. We stayed in touch and he became one of my best friends. We wouldn’t talk every single day, but whenever we did talk we spoke about any and everything. He knows things about me that no one else knows. While he was in Florida he got married. At first he stated his marriage was solely to get his “papers” because he was an immigrant. As time passed he and the young lady dated and fell in love. So, now they are married for love, “supposedly.” Fast forward….they’ve now been married a couple of years and we are still in touch. He finally got around to filing for his stuff and now has his “stuff.” The relationship started to wither between the two of them, and after having enough he decided to move back to New York. Upon him moving back to New York we started talking a little more than before. I was single and while he was still legally married, he was “single” as well. It wasn’t long before we started dating. But, what was once never an issue for me is now becoming my very harsh reality. He says he is still legally married because he hasn’t yet filed for his citizenship (he only has green card status), and as soon as he completes that then he will get a divorce. He lives in his “wife’s” parent’s home in New York and she (the wife) pops in and out of New York without my knowledge of her ever being here. It is now almost two years and absolutely no change has been made. We’re still dating and I use the term “dating” very loosely, for we only go out if I ask him to accompany me to the movies or dinner or something and I foot the bill. It has been many nights he’s unreachable without any reason at all, besides maybe he fell asleep or he forgot his phone in his car. He doesn’t want to get married again and he doesn’t wants to have kids with me. So he’s still legally married, living in his “in-laws” house and no signs of anything changing, anytime soon. I want more. I want to get married because I’ve never been before. I also would like to have more kids because I never had a great experience being pregnant. Am I being naive? Am I wrong because I knew of his situation before our relationship got personal? Should I walk away or stick around and see if things are going to change once he gets his citizenship in order?? – Ms. Confused Dear Ms. Confused , Girl, I can’t! I can’t! I can’t! Are you freaking serious right now?!?! You actually took the time to sit down and write this MoFo letter, and you have the audacity to ask me some bull-ish about a man who is an immigrant who married another woman to stay in this country legally, and you’ve been seeing him for the past two years and he hasn’t taken the necessary steps to get a divorce from his wife, and he’s told you that he doesn’t want to get married again and he doesn’t want to have kids with you! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Now, you’re asking me if you’re being naïve because you want to get married and have kids, and you hope he will change his mind after he gets his citizenship. You know what, you really are a donkey. A big ole jackass. You see, this is why I go so hard on some of you dumb ass broads. The hell kind of retard knowingly dates an immigrant who is illegally in this country, because I know his green card has expired, and he’s married to another woman and you know he only married her to get his green card?  Then on top of it all this he is living in his wife’s parent’s home, and he only goes out with you when you invite him and you have to foot the bill!!!! Uhm, Ms. Special-Needs-With-The-Brain-On-Vacation , do you really think you will have some type of future with this man???? Did he put some type of hex on you, or worked some voodoo spell that got you all “F’d” up in the head? Let me close my eyes as I type this because I don’t want my eyes to see any more of this and I become infected. I rebuke you in the name of Jesus!!!! And, just because of you, I am opening my school a week earlier. It’s official: The doors are open to the Academy for Dumbass Women Who Date Illegal Immigrants Hoping She’ll Become A Princess Like Kate Middleton . I have you enrolled in three classes: D**kology 101 : How To Emotionally And Mentally Wean Yourself Off The D**K Mandingo 101 : How To Spot An Illegal Immigrant And Run Like Hell When He Approaches You Dating Married Men 101 : You’re A Side Chick, A Hoe, And You’ll Never Be Wifey, So Stay In Your Lane He is not your man. He is married, whether it is legal, or for immigration purposes, the man is still married. LEAVE HIM ALONE!! FIND YOURSELF A MAN WHO IS AVAILABLE EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, AND PHYSICALLY. FIND YOURSELF A MAN WHO IS NOT USING WOMEN TO GET INTO THIS COUNTRY. This man is not, and I repeat, HE IS NOT going to marry you. He is not going to change his mind after he gets his citizenship, if that ever happens. He is not interested in spending any quality time with you, nor is he interested in you as a person. He is only using you, and you are allowing him to. Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! How about you invest all this time and energy into your three children who don’t have a father in their life. Your children need to see you being about something and doing something instead of running behind some man who will probably be deported in a few months. And, how about you invest in getting an education and improving your life and getting out of this hood mentality of waiting for someone to save you. You know what; I have a novel idea. How about you go out in the street and pick up a homeless dude, and start dating and sexing him. Your man is no better. You’re dating a man who is married, an illegal immigrant, and lives in his sponsor’s parent’s home. Ma’am, hello!?! Ma’am!!! He’s homeless and a bum. What can he possibly offer you? What can he bring to the table to improve or make your life better? In laymen’s terms, are you going to upgrade with him or is it a downgrade? Well, considering who you are anything will be an upgrade. But peep this, on top of it all you have to call and invite him out because he never calls you to take you out, and, Ms. Paying-For-D**k , you have to foot the bill!!!! You’ve got to be the biggest non-flying bird in your neighborhood. Whatever hair and glue treatments you are putting on your head, please stop it because the combination of your silliness, his Mandingo d**k, and the non-adhesive glue is messing with your brain. Girl, in so many words, the man has basically told you that he doesn’t want your bum basic ass. He has said to you that he is not interested in marriage, and he doesn’t want to have kids with you. He’s telling you, “I DON’T WANT YOU AND WE’LL NEVER BE TOGETHER!” Did you comprehend that? Ladies, ladies, ladies when a man ignores your calls, doesn’t bother to invite you out, and every time you do go out you are footing the bill, then you are a trick. You are paying for the d**k. And, you deserve to be treated like a low class hoe with nothing to show for it. Please, please, please give me his address so I can report him to immigration. I know he has overstayed his Visa and green card. That’s why he is hiding out at his wife’s parent’s home, and won’t divorce her. He’s no fool. He’s got you spreading your legs for him, taking him out, and probably putting money in his pocket. And, he’s got the other bird to marry him to get a green card so that he can be in this country legally. And, in reality, he ain’t thinking about neither one of you. He’s playing both of you Miss-American-Women-Who-Don’t-Mind-Sharing-An-Immigrant-Because-You’re-So-Desperate-To-Be-Loved . Why am I even bothering writing and responding to you? You’re going to do what you want to do anyway. You’re hoping and wishing he is going to make you his princess bride and sweep you off to his country, where I’m certain he’s a prince, right? And, of course his father has billions of dollars, but because he Came To America, his father cut him off from all the funds, and because he has too much pride and wants to prove to his father he can make it on his own, he is roughing it out in America where he is being his own man, huh? Sit your ass over there Ms. Future Mustafa and wait on him all you want. And, if there ever is a day when you two will get married, I want an invitation to this multi-million dollar wedding. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Little Darlings’ Kristy McNichol Comes Out as a Lesbian

We always knew she was a bit more Two Poon Junction than Two Moon Junction , but now Little Darlings star Kristy McNichol has officially announced that she is gay. But why now, after two decades of living quietly with her dogs and long-term ladyfriend far from the bright lights of Hollywood? As her publicist Jeff Ballard tells People , it’s for the children: “[Kristy] is very sad about kids being bullied. She hopes that coming out can help kids who need support. She would like to help others who feel different.” We’re pretty sure that just knowing who Kristy McNichol is is enough to make a high-school kid different these days, but hey….it’s the thought that counts, right? Kristy, we (one-handedly) salute you! Mr. Skin members can see the breast of former child star Kristy McNichol right here at MrSkin.com!

Brad Pitt: Injured Carrying Vivienne, Walking With Cane

Being injured is worth it if it the children are okay. That’s how Brad Pitt summed up his recent injury at the Palm Springs International Film Festival gala this weekend, explaining to the press corps that he hurt himself when he suffered a fall while carrying daughter Vivienne. The upshot: Viv is fine. He walks with a cane now: “When [Maddox] was younger, I took a fall and cracked my elbow because I wanted to make sure he didn’t have the fall,” said Angelina Jolie, by his side. “Every parent has injured themselves at some point,” the father of six added. “Every parent will stand in the line of fire for their kids so it’s a normal thing.” So is Brad milking the injury at home? “He’s not that kind of guy,” she said . “He does everything still.” “I’m proud of him every single day,” Jolie said of Pitt, who was presented the Desert Palm Achievement Award by his Moneyball co-star Jonah Hill. Get well soon, Brad. But nice cane man. [Photo: WENN.com]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Sentencing Delayed, Boxer Free to Fight

Ah, the life of a famous person. You can pretty much admit that you beat up the mother of your children… and then make a deal with a judge that allows you to fight for millions. Such is the case for Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was sentenced to 90 days in prison last month on a domestic violence charge , but has now successfully postponed his jail time until June. This means he’ll be free to fight in Nevada on May 5. “We are pleased that the judge granted postponement of Floyd’s surrender date so that he can fulfill his commitment to Las Vegas to deliver his promised mega-fight and the economic benefits it provides to the community,” said Leonard Ellerbe, a representative of the fighter. No opponent has yet been named for the May 5 fight. Mayweather will then begin serving his prison term on June 1. He must also complete 100 hours of community service and pay a $2,500 fine.

Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger: Still Close, But Not Reconciling

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver are getting along much better these days, but don’t bank on a reconciliation in their marriage – rings or no rings. While Internet reports that Shriver is wearing a suspicious ring on her finger fueled rumors of them getting back together, there’s a different explanation. The ring on Shriver’s left hand is actually her late mother’s. Shriver has been wearing the engagement ring since Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s death in 2009. As for rumors that Shriver is having second thoughts about divorcing Schwarzenegger, due to her religious beliefs, a source close to the couple denies it. “The reports of a reconciliation are not true,” says the source. The former couple, who announced their separation after 25 years, still spend quality time as a family with kids Katherine, Christina, Patrick and Christopher. They announced their separation last year after Shriver learned Arnold knocked up their longtime housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena – over a decade ago. Most recently, Shriver and Schwarzenegger enjoyed Christmas with the kids in L.A., and attended the L.A. Lakers’ season opener game that afternoon. While it appears their divorce is still on, “Arnold and Maria will always come together when it comes to supporting and loving their children,” says an insider .

Deion Sanders seems very calm about his current divorce situation. The NFL great called into Dallas K104 FM to clarify what exactly is going on in the Sanders household and to do some much needed damage control! Sanders does admit that he and Pilar still live under the same roof, which is mostly for the children, and claims that they are cordial. Deion’s daughter Deiondra recently lashed out against Pilar on Twitter, saying that she was lying about several things including that she didn’t know about the divorce. “I apologize for my daughter,” Deion said. “She loves her father and she felt like I was being abused and misused and she lashed out, which she’s sorry for. She wanted to get a lot of things out of her that’s been inside of her. But it’s unfortunate that that really magnified the situation.” He went on to talk about the standing relationship between he and his soon to be ex-wife: “The thing about it….Pilar and I are cool. I mean we’re cool. When I say cool, we’re living under the same roof. That’s true. First of all, I’m very calm. I’m not a yeller or screamer and I’m not even upset. It’s just another chapter in your life where you have to move on. And Pilar is cool too. And the home is large enough, but you gotta understand we love the babies. I love my babies and I’m a father. It’s cool until the situation is worked out. That’s why you can’t believe what you read because if it was as ignorant as people would speculate it’s no way to be compatible. But I see her every morning. And I say, ‘What’s up?, What’s up, girl?’ It really is like that. That’s why you can’t believe everything.” RELATED: Deion Sander’s Daughter Deiondra Goes Off On Pilar Sanders!
