Here’s some good news for your football lovin’ ears… we told you earlier the league was trying to work things out and looks like both sides made nice for the love of the game. According to the New York Times: The National Football League reached agreement on a new labor deal with its game officials late Wednesday night, ending a lockout that forced unprepared replacement officials onto the field, creating three weeks of botched calls, acute criticism, furious coaches and players, and a blemish – however temporary — on the integrity of the country’s most popular sport. The agreement came 48 hours after the nadir of the league’s experiment with replacement officials, when an incorrect call on the final play of the Monday night game cost the Green Bay Packers a victory against the Seattle Seahawks. That nationally televised debacle spurred two days of furious and lengthy negotiations against the backdrop of immense public pressure and scorn, most of it directed at the league. Both sides were so determined to play no more games with replacements that they raced Wednesday night to get officials in place to work this week’s slate. A crew of regular officials will be in Baltimore on Thursday night to work the Ravens’ game against the Cleveland Browns. The members of the officials’ union will gather in Dallas to vote to ratify the contract on Friday, and regular officials will work Sunday’s games. Guess Foot Locker’s excited to have their employees back! Now let’s see all those isht talkers on Sunday take a seat when their teams are bringing in the right points instead of wins based on bogus calls! Images via facebook

Arnold Schwarzenegger Writes Tell-All Damn, Arnold Schwarzenegger has penned his own tell-all called ‘The Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story’ and it looks like it’s all coming out now: According to NY Daily News ,’ In an explosive tell-all book, Arnold Schwarzenegger offers “Total Recall” of the infidelity that ruined his marriage — revealing his wife confronted him about his love child in couples counseling. “The Terminator” actor writes that Maria Shriver waited until a day after he left the California governor’s office in 2011 to confirm her long-held suspicion that he was a cheater. “The minute we sat down, the therapist turned to me and said, ‘Maria wanted to come here today and to ask about a child — whether you fathered a child with your housekeeper Mildred,’ ” Schwarzenegger writes in “Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story.” “I told the therapist, ‘It’s true,’ ” Schwarzenegger recounts in the memoir, set to hit bookstores on Oct. 1. The Daily News obtained a copy of the book in which Schwarzenegger candidly tells of his journey from a rural town in Austria to becoming a Mr. Universe bodybuilder, Hollywood superstar and powerful politician. He waits until near the end of the 624-page tome to describe the fling with his married housekeeper Mildred Baena and the secret son he kept from his wife for 15 years. He admitted to Shriver in the Jan. 4, 2011, faceoff that “it was my screwup” and immediately began groveling, telling her she was the “perfect wife” and assuring her that he was still “turned on” by her. He divulges that he had sex with Baena in 1996 in the guesthouse of his Pacific Palisades, Calif., mansion while Shriver was away on vacation with their kids and he was stuck in Hollywood working on the flick “Batman & Robin.” When Baena gave birth, she named the baby Joseph and listed her husband as the father — and Schwarzenegger writes that he “wanted” to believe that — and did — for years. He writes that he kept Baena on as housekeeper because he thought that was the best way to “control the situation.” He reveals that many years before the marriage-counseling showdown, Shriver asked him if the child was his, but he adamantly denied it. Schwarzenegger explains that Shriver implied she had already confronted Baena and learned the truth. He claims that for a long time he even convinced himself that the boy was not his. But as Joseph grew older, he began to look more and more like Schwarzenegger until the “The Running Man” actor could no longer run from his responsibility. The resemblance was so strong that “I realized there was little doubt that he was my son,” writes Schwarzenegger. He adds that he was already governor of California when Baena’s husband left her and he began secretly supporting her and her children financially. Schwarzenegger, who has four children with Shriver, reasons that politically he was doing the right thing by concealing his illegitimate son because he had not campaigned for governor on family values. “I blocked out the fact that as a husband and father, as a man with a family and wife, I was letting people down,” he writes. But Schwarzenegger clearly believes in Hollywood endings, adding that he still has hope he and Shriver will get back together. “You can call this denial,” he writes, “but it’s the way my mind works.” Wow… this guy is something else.
Filmmaker Jenle Hallund has looked into the soul of America, and it sounds like we need a good shrink. Hallund is the intrepid soul who has spent the last weeks watching and, in some cases, listening to the 501 submissions that have come across her desk after controversy-courting Danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier invited the world to reinterpret one of six great works of art for a community film project that will be unveiled at the Copenhagen Art Festival on Oct. 12. Participants had to base their entries on one or more of six different works of art that Von Trier admires: James Joyce’s Ulysses, “which once was banned in the United States because it was seen as obscene and lewd”; August Strindberg’s play The Father , “which still stands as a striking example of a dysfunctional family”; Paul Gaugin’s painting Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? French composer César Franck’s improvisations; or the music of the late Sammy Davis Jr., “who stepped himself into the hearts of people through song;” and the Zeppelin Field grandstand in Nuremberg, Germany that Hitler’s main architect Albert Speer created. The project is being called Gesamt , which translates to “coming together” or “a joint piece of work,” as Hallund explained to us back in August, and the filmmaker, who is a script consultant on Von Trier’s 2013 project, Nymphomaniac , as well as co-director of Limboland (2010), is now in the process of culling, editing and shaping those submissions into a film that she says will be called Disaster 501 — What Happened to Man? based on her interpretation and understanding of the material she received. “I think why I decided early on to make it a disaster movie was that most of the submission questioned the fundamentals of our humanity: love, morality and relationships,” Hallund wrote in email correspondence with me. “And nature was depicted as decaying and threatening.” But Hallund explained that now that she is “further in the editing process,” she has worked with “beautiful and tender moments and stunning visuals. The ache for the sublime and the ideal is still the dream for us,” Hallund noted, adding: “The most touching element for me is that all of these submissions, all of these people who bravely shared a piece of themselves all take part in creating the painting of the soul of our civilization.” Given this site’s U.S. roots, I asked Hallund what the American entries she received said about the soul of its civilizaton. “The American soul speaks and shouts fear and loneliness, and an overwhelming sense of estrangement and anger — of being disconnected from others and losing purpose and individuality,” Hallund wrote. “The soul of America expresses a rootlessness and a loss of humanity.” And yet, she explained, “A tender but cutting longing for love and meaning,” is also evident. Hallund, who received approximately 55 submissions from the U.S. and will use “visuals, stills, sound or music” from 10 to 12, said that, “overwhelmingly,” the themes of the American submissions “can be categorized into male and female.” “All the male submissions, regardless of which works of art they reference, are angry, desperate — full of malice and a sense of fear,” Hallund said. “The men address, either verbally or visually, a sense of being trapped inside their skin, of taking pleasure in hurting women. They are very animalistic and afraid . We have the broken and humiliated man who can no longer walk or love. “The female American soul,” she continued, “is without love — almost resigned to the loss of it. The female voice is very tender and soft. They speak of the love of their fathers, the sadness of the pain they have caused, and their longing for a man to love them.” Or, she said, “it’s the voice of a woman lost and afraid of disappearing….Fighting to assert control over her sexuality.” “Depressing stuff, I know,” said Hallund. But fascinating as well. I asked the filmmaker if traveling to Copenhagen next month is the only way that Americans can see Disaster 501, and she replied that she is exploring options to put it online. “I haven’t found the right solution yet,” she said. If she can turn 501 submissions of film, music and writing into a single film, she can do anything. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.

While I was pouring, or more accuratley poor-ing, my heart out to Candice Swanepeol yesterday via love letters I wrote in the form of posts celebrating her body and our undying love….she was being man handled by some Victoria’s Secret photographer, who probably doesn’t bang her, but has seen her naked and has a weird relationship with her…but who more importantly should have been me….I would be broken up by this, but my obsessiveness, is really lazy and I’m over it, but I do still think we are connected at the soul for the sake of doing posts on her….even though she’s gone and done this to me….all because she just doesn’t know our love exists yet….and to be honest I can’t blame her, and not just cuz I love her and thus am leniant about her actions, because before she came along into my life in pictures, I never knew a love like this before. She’s just playing hard to get and trying to get me jealous, that’s gotta be it….
Monica Lewinsky, whose affair with Bill Clinton nearly brought down his Presidency, is set to write a tell-all book about it for $12 million, according to reports. The former White House intern, 39, will share letters she wrote to Clinton, 66. “In them, she opened her heart about her love for Bill and how much happier she could make him than [Hillary Clinton],” an insider is quoted as saying. “Some of what she wrote was so raw that she never sent them.” Clinton has been so revered since he left the Oval Office that it’s almost easy to forget that he was only the second White House occupant ever to be impeached. He was accused of perjuring himself after his affair with Lewinsky was exposed in 1998; he was acquitted in 1999 and left office in 2001 with strong approval ratings. The 42nd President, whose DNC speech on behalf of President Obama this month was considered by many to be one of his all-time best, has rebuilt his image since. Sources say that Monica Lewinsky’s book will reveal that Bill Clinton derided wife Hillary as a “cold fish” and complained about their “non-existent sex life.” Lewinsky, whose post-scandal life has included work as a news correspondent and handbag designer, has had trouble earning a living, sources explained. “No one will hire her and she can’t get a job … She needs to make money,” says a friend of Monica, who is persona non grata pretty much everywhere. We can’t imagine why … [Photos: WENN.com]
Helen Joyce Flanagan is Coronation Street…. I don’t know who Helen Flanagan is, where she’s from, what her deal is. I just know I want to sing her love songs. It turns out she has been on Cornation Street since she was 10 and that means a lot of pedophiles have probably masturated to her and were probably angry when she turned 18, while a lot of on the fence pedophiles were probably happy when she turned 18 because it meant their impure thoughts about her were a little more wholeseome….. She’s 22 now, and she’s producing some pretty amazing pictures of twitter, you know breaking from what people know about her and she is really solidifying herself as a sex object….with Xed our nipples….half naked…when all that sex object talk just cheapens her….but maybe I am saying that because our sex would be making love….
