Books on a Scandal: Would You Dig Into These Juicy Reads?

One of our October must reads, Arnold Schwarzenegger's memoir Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, hits bookshelves today. We can't help but be intrigued to hear what the former "Governator" has to say about his numerous affairs and hiding his out-of-wedlock love child from his former wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver. Arnold isn't the only famous person penning a tell-all book about a sex scandal. Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky has reportedly signed a contract for a tell-all book about her affair with Bill Clinton.

It's one thing to read news reports about the shocking scandals that rock the political or celebrity worlds, but it's even more enticing to dive into a firsthand account from someone who was there when it happened. These tell-all books include behind-the-scenes looks at some of the biggest sex-related scandals to grab headlines in recent years. Check out these juicy reads now and tell us if you'd read them.

San Diego got a star-studded dose of excitement when Comic-Con rolled into town. The annual convention brings superfans together with celebrities promoting their upcoming big- and small-screen projects, and we were right there on the scene.

Things kicked off with the cast of Breaking Dawn Part 2 before Michelle Williams joined Mila Kunis for a panel on Oz: The Great and Powerful. Matt Damon swung through with Elysium and even the Glee kids stepped out. Emily Blunt and Joseph Gordon-Levitt brought Looper and the Vampire Diaries gang gathered for press and a party. Stars from Fringe and Breaking Bad talked about their new seasons, while Robert Downey Jr. got into Tony Stark mode for Iron Man 3.

The festivities came to an end yesterday — make sure to check out all of our Comic-Con coverage and click through to see all the stars who made the Southern California scene.

The Expendables 2 Trailer: Liam Hemsworth Shoots and Scores

The bad boys of The Expendables are back in the trailer for the sequel, and this time they have a hot, new secret weapon: Liam Hemsworth.

The bad boys of The Expendables are back in the trailer for the sequel, and this time they have a hot, new secret weapon: Liam Hemsworth. Given that the original film features action stars of many decades (including Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, and Chuck Norris), it seems fitting that they've made room for the Hunger Games star as their latest edition (fun fact: Hemsworth was originally cast in the first film, but his part was cut). In The Expendables 2, Hemsworth joins the gang as a sniper named Billy the Kid as they face down a villain played by Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Don't try to follow too much of the story in the trailer, though; it's mostly a mélange of shoot-'em-up sequences, fistfights, and explosions. It's not that it's not fun, however, and it's definitely worth the watch to see Hemsworth in action star mode. The movie comes out on Aug. 17, and you can check out the trailer when you read more

Mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Love Child Gives Interview About Maria

Mildred Baena, the housekeeper who had Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child, has broken her silence by granting a photo shoot and interview with Hello!


Mildred Baena, the housekeeper who had Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child, has broken her silence by granting a photo shoot and interview with Hello! magazine. In the magazine she poses with her 13-year-old son and says he's looking forward to building a relationship with his biological father. But based on an excerpt from the piece, she doesn't reflect much on her own actions, instead recounting how Maria Shriver reacted to the news.

"She would say things like, 'I’m here if you need to talk.' I sensed something was up. I have so much love and respect for Maria. Finally, she asked point-blank. She was so strong. She cried with me and told me to get off my knees. We held each other, and I told her it wasn’t Arnie’s fault, that it takes two."

If Maria felt any solidarity with Mildred, I wonder how she feels now that Mildred has given an interview about such a difficult personal moment. Do you think Mildred was right to tell her side of the story, or should she have stayed quiet out of respect for Maria?

Why Do Powerful Men Misbehave?

We just received the latest Time magazine with the cover story "Sex.

We just received the latest Time magazine with the cover story "Sex. Lies. Arrogance. What Makes Powerful Men Act Like Pigs" in light of the latest Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Arnold Schwarzenegger scandals. After posing the question on Facebook, you gave us a few mostly money- and ego-related reasons why you think this is the case. Reader Kat says it's a "total loss of reality. megalomania. you should never give this much money to a masculine human being." And Jessica added, "Society makes it acceptable for men to behave badly — they aren't called bitches, hos, etc. when they do it and they can be irresponsible and act like children because they have us to support them!!"

Here are the magazine's reasons:

  • Powerful men are risk takers.
  • They are surrounded by enablers.
  • With power comes opportunity and confidence, and with that a sense of sexual entitlement.
  • Bad behavior is overlooked or covered up.
  • Women involved don't say anything because they are "afraid of challenging a man so powerful in a culture so tolerant."

And sound off in the comments, why do you think power makes men pigs?

4 Exciting Moves Maria Shriver Can Make Post-Arnold

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his love child have captured the attention of the world this week.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his love child have captured the attention of the world this week. Sad details about the affair continue to emerge, as pictures of the mistress flash across newspapers and websites everywhere. In her undoubtedly heartbreaking family breakup, Maria Shriver, the other half of the toppled power couple, has a chance to triumph.

Some are asking who Maria should date next. Tim Robbins? Alec Baldwin? While it would be fun to see JFK's niece hook up with a high-profile liberal after decades with a Republican, I doubt she's even thinking about a new love connection as she tries to stay strong for her kids. Still, with the public's goodwill behind her, Maria's next move could be her best yet.

In her 2008 book, Just Who Will You Be?, Maria discussed her reluctance to quit her successful journalism career at NBC to become first lady of California. She wrote, "You've got to be kidding! That's not me! I didn't grow up wanting to be first lady of anything!" Over the years she said she came to peace with being first lady and believed it helped her find her own voice. Maybe this next life stage will move her further along that path. Based on her experience so far, below you'll find four potential projects Maria could take on post-Arnold.

Are You Surprised That Arnold Schwarzenegger Has a Love Child?

There are new updates to the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver split: Arnold fathered a child 10 years ago with a member of the household staff who worked with the family for 20 years before retiring in January.

There are new updates to the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver split: Arnold fathered a child 10 years ago with a member of the household staff who worked with the family for 20 years before retiring in January. Maria left after he fessed up about the child earlier this year.

This isn't the first time the former governator has been in the hot seat for sexual misbehavior; in the past he's been accused of inappropriate touching and an affair with an actress. Couple his past with other politicians who've faced similar scandals (cough, cough, John Edwards), and is this news surprising or expected?

Are You and Your Partner Politically Compatible or Political Opposites?

The poster couple for a successful bipartisan relationship, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, has come to an end.

The poster couple for a successful bipartisan relationship, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, has come to an end. Maria was born into the Democratic Kennedy clan before marrying bodybuilder-turned-actor and eventual Republican governor of California Arnold in 1986, and they seemed to know how to make their differing opinions work. But this sort of politically incompatible pairing is unusual, according to a recent study that finds couples marry within their political party. Since the study relies on data collected in the 1980s, I'm not sure how accurate these results are today. It's possible people are more open-minded with their partner's politics than in the past.

But I want to know, are you and your significant other both red, both blue, or a combo couple?
