When it comes to the dating scene, Arnold Schwarzenegger won’t be back, ladies. He is back! Witnesses tell TMZ that the ex-Governor was all over some 25-year old female at Bagatelle in West Hollywood Friday night, grinding up on his acquaintance and even swapping some spit. Alas, Arnold and this new gal pal left the establishment separately. As for Schwarzenegger’s divorce from Maria Shriver? Shelve those reconciliation rumors . Insiders say the legal split is most definitely happening, perhaps as early as this week. Moreover, Schwarzenegger is actually the one now pushing for it, with Shriver allegedly leaning toward a reunion with her cheating ex. We have a feeling she’ll quickly get over that, however. All she needs to do is rewatch Arnold’s performance as Mr. Freeze to understand why.
Over the weekend Patrick Schwarzenegger, the son of Arnold, Tweeted a photo of himself experiencing a typical teen rite of passage: his senior prom. The 18-year-old attended with another celebrity offspring, legendary music producer (and American Idol mentor) Jimmy Iovine’s daughter Jade Iovine. Check out their cute Instagram prom photo below: In addition to being a student, Patrick is a model, aspiring actor and a designer for the charity-driven clothing line Project 360. Not bad for a teenager. In the pic, classmate Jade, in a white, strapless dress, pins a boutonni
Len Wiseman remake, starring Colin Farrell, looks like a sleek, modern update of Arnold Schwarzenegger flick. By Kevin P. Sullivan Colin Farrell in “Total Recall” Photo: Sony If the trailer for Len Wiseman’s remake of “Total Recall” made one thing clear, it’s that this is not the “Total Recall” you know. Gone is the camp. Gone is the Martian setting. Gone is the Schwarzenegger. Instead, the new “Total Recall” is a sleek, visually impressive and modern sci-fi action thriller. Colin Farrell has stepped into the secret-secret-agent boots and the fit seems just right. Here are our five key scenes from the new “Total Recall” trailer. Total recall The trailer begins by giving a good sense of the setup of the story, and once Farrell’s character, Douglas Quaid, slips into the Rekal machine, that’s when all the trouble starts. Probably one of the strongest visual connections to the Paul Verhoeven-Arnold Schwarzenegger original, the Rekal machine should look vaguely familiar, albeit significantly updated. We do get the added benefit of a bleach-blond John Cho, but from the looks of the trailer, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be around for very long. “I know kung fu” After taking a seat in the Rekal machine, Quaid has his very own Jason Bourne moment. Once the police show up to arrest the very confused customer, his own secret-agent moves come back to him in a flash, and he’s able to dispatch all of the would-be arresting officers just as quickly. The camera jumps around with as much ferocity as Quaid, reminding us that Len “Underworld” Wiseman is definitely behind the lens. Kate Beckinsale: Villainess And if Len Wiseman is directing, his real-life wife, Kate Beckinsale , can’t be too far behind. After Quaid’s run-in with the police at the Rekal center, his loving wife, played by Beckinsale, turns out to be not so loving. In fact, she’s a deadly assassin set on killing Quaid once his past memories have been unlocked. She’s on the tail of Quaid and his new female companion, played by Jessica Biel . Frankly, it’s about time we got an evil turn out of Beckinsale. Anti-gravity gunfight Perhaps the horn blasts throughout the trailer aren’t the only nods to Christopher Nolan’s “Inception.” During the quick clips of scenes near the end of the trailer, we get a brief look at what appears to be a zero-g gunfight. Changing faces The final shot from the trailer is probably the most intriguing. The always fantastic Bryan Cranston , playing the president of Euroamerica, confronts Quaid, who seems more confused than ever. We then see Quaid’s face transform from Farrell’s to two other actors’ and back to Farrell’s. Schwarzenegger’s version of Quaid did some shape-shifting of his own, but never with this much style.

We’re holding out for some nods to the original in upcoming sneak peek. By Kevin P. Sullivan Colin Farrell in “Total Recall” Photo: Sony Pictures We saw the teaser for the trailer earlier this week, but soon the first full-length preview of the “Total Recall” remake will be upon us. Gone are the Martian setting and Arnold Schwarzenegger, but in their stead, we have a new star, Colin Farrell , and a new leading lady, Kate Beckinsale. Even as goofy as it is, the original “Total Recall” is a modern sci-fi action classic, so expectations are high for this remake, which prefers a look that’s more “Minority Report” than early ’90s science fiction. Here are the five things we want to see in the “Total Recall” trailer: Benny In the world of pre-kill Schwarzenegger puns, few stack up quite like “Screw you!” As the helpful cab driver-turned-traitor, Benny played a big role in the original film, and his death made for one of the biggest laughs. Even if it’s a glimpse at the cab or — if we’re lucky — a Martian drilling rig, we can keep our fingers crossed that Farrell has been brushing up on his pun delivery. Three-Breasted Woman Perhaps the most memorable image from the original 1990 film, the three-breasted woman has to make an appearance at some point in the film. Including at least a hint of the lady with the extra something-something would also signal to doubtful fans that this is a remake that honors the past, as well as moves the story further into the future. Kuato There are two very specific reasons why Kuato is something to look forward to in the remake of “Total Recall.” One is that when Kuato showed his face in the original, the world met one of the most bizarre sci-fi creations of all time. Secondly, Bill Nighy is slated to appear as the conjoined leader of the rebellion. If anyone can tackle a character as out there as that, it’s certainly Nighy, who threw himself entirely into playing a half-man, half-octopus for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. Bryan Cranston There’s a reason Walter White from “Breaking Bad” has been making random appearances in movies from “Contagion” to “John Carter.” It’s because Bryan Cranston makes everything better. In the new “Total Recall,” Cranston is playing Vilos Cohaagen, the same evil corporate executive from the original. We’ve all watched Cranston break bad for four years. Now we get to see him go all the way. Some Connection to the Original When remaking a movie that came out a little more than 20 years ago, there’s sure to be a lot of lingering loyalty to the original. Fans will want to see some concrete through-line from the Schwarzenegger “Total Recall.” This will be difficult since the new version uses many of the same characters, but an acknowledgement of the first film will do wonders to earn the confidence of hardcore fans.

A Twins sequel? With ex-movie star Eddie Murphy? Haha, very funny. What, what : “Universal and Montecito Picture Co. are hoping to develop a doozy of a follow-up to the 1988 hit comedy that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito that would reunite the two stars. But wait, there’s a twist: In the new scenario, Eddie Murphy would act as a third brother. Titled Triplets , the story would see Schwarzenegger and DeVito as brothers Julius and Vincent, conceived experimentally, who discover they have third sibling.” [ THR ]
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Total Recall role is being taken over by Colin Farrell in this year’s upcoming remake of the film, and we’ve got your first glimpse of it here. The plot is said to offer a different take on the 1990 release, but the same line between fantasy and reality gets blurred as the fate of his world hangs in the balance. The movie, which also stars Bryan Cranston, Bill Nighy, Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale, is directed by Kate‘s husband, Len Wiseman, and hits theaters August 3. The official trailer will premiere this Sunday, April 1, but you can catch a sneak peek of the trailer below. Think Farrell can do Arnold justice? Tell us … Total Recall Teaser Trailer
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver are reportedly in couples therapy in a bid to save their marriage. Can California’s former first couple pull it off? The pair, who split in 2011 after news broke that Arnold fathered a secret child with their housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena , has been married 26 years. Apparently that’s more than reason enough for the couple to make a last-ditch effort to save their marriage, according to Thursday’s New York Post . Sources told the Post that the devoutly Catholic Shriver can’t bear the thought of divorce, while The Terminator star realizes the gravity of his mistake. “Arnold is desperate to save the marriage; he and Maria are having counseling to work through their issues to get back together,” a friend told the paper. “Maria is a devout Catholic and doesn’t believe in divorce, but is still struggling with the profound heartbreak and humiliation she endured by him.” “He is promising the moon and telling Maria he has completely changed his ways. All of Maria’s friends are warning her to be careful, saying he’ll never change.” “Arnold is going all out to win her back, mostly because he feels bad and he can’t live without her, and partly because he has no political clout without her.” “Winning her back would be the best way to show the world he has been forgiven for his transgressions,” said the supposed insider to the Post . Think they’ll get back together? Should they?
Ha! It’s a trick! There are no words . Also: Totally coincidentally, I’m sure, the shoulder-surgery-party duo is now confirmed to be reteaming for the long-rumored prison-break flick The Tomb . [ WhoSay/Arnold Schwarzenegger ]
There have been so many shocking celebrity divorces lately, even by Hollywood standards. Not just breakups, but actual marriages crumbling before our eyes.

Like Kim and Kris, nothing about these two truly shocks us. Except her running off with Journey guitarist Neal Schon. 7. Leah Messer and Corey Simms . The stars of Teen Mom 2 seem so happy … on the episodes that are still airing now! Well, not last night’s. Still! 6. Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore . Seemed an odd fit at the start, but their split came totally out of left field. Now she’s taking nitrous hits . Nitrous. 5. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony . Apparently not the marrying type. 4.
