"I'LL BE BACK"...UH UH, TERMINATOR ARNOLD! NOT ANYTIME SOON!

It looks like the Terminator won't be back anytime soon.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's political career and marriage may be over, but it appears that the former Governator's rumoured acting comeback is being put on hold. Despite recent rumours of a possible Terminator 5 movie in the works, the actor-turned-politician has reportedly told his team to postpone all possible acting opportunities.
"Gov. Schwarzenegger is focusing on personal matters and is not willing to commit to any production schedules or timelines," his office said in a statement Thursday, according to TMZ.
Arnold may want to rethink that decision, however. It looks like a child isn't the only thing that his ex-housekeeper/baby-momma got from him. TMZ reports that Schwarzenegger made a $65,000 US down payment on a house for his ex-mistress less than a year ago. The payments were sent in two instalments, one in April 2010 for $5,000 US and another the month following for $60,000 US. According to the site, the money was used to secure a loan for the housekeeper and their 13-year-old son.
It's not known if Schwarzenegger's wife, Maria Shriver, was aware of the transaction, but according to RadarOnline, she was suspicious of the child for quite some time. The website reports that Shriver confronted the housekeeper, asking if the Schwarzenegger was the father.
"Maria has suspected this for a long time and she asked the housekeeper,” a source told RadarOnline. “The housekeeper admitted it . . . Maria then went to Arnold and he confessed.”
Another source told RadarOnline that the alleged mistress wasn't fired. “Yes, her employment ended, but it ended without animosity,” one source said.
A third source told the website, “She was upset with Arnold at the time and didn’t know what to do, she thought about going public, but it was a fleeting thought. Ultimately she didn’t want to hurt Arnold. But she also didn’t want her employment to end.
“It was a difficult situation.”


The revelation came a week after Schwarzenegger, the Austrian-born former bodybuilder turned film star, and his wife, Maria Shriver, a broadcast journalist and member of the Kennedy dynasty (Shriver's mother, Eunice Kennedy, was the sister of assassinated U.S. President John F. Kennedy), jointly announced their marital split.
"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago," Schwarzenegger said in replying to the Times. A Schwarzenegger spokesman later gave a copy of the statement to Reuters.
"I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses, and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry," Schwarzenegger, 63, said in the statement.

Shriver was widely credited with saving Schwarzenegger's 2003 gubernatorial campaign by steadfastly standing by him amid media reports that he had a history of groping other women.
Shriver, 55, in a statement to People magazine released on Tuesday, asked for compassion and privacy.
"This is a painful and heartbreaking time," she said. "As a mother, my concern is for the children. I ask for
compassion, respect and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal. I will have no further comment."

"IF YOU ASK ME , OMAWUMI, I GO TELL U SAY THIS VIDEO TOOO BADT!!


Mehn! Video dey and VIDEO DEY! Touching a very serious subject of sexual abuse of women, this hit single from Omawumi goes a long way to open the wounds of a topic, so dreaded and handled with a very long stick of denial.
According to details released by Omawumi’s team, “This song, which deals with child sexual abuse and takes a musical journey through that painful experience, also complements Omawumi’s work as an Ambassador for Project Alert, which advocates on issues of sexual abuse and reproductive health.
The song was produced by the visually impaired genius, Cobhams Asuquo.
The expertise of top Naija Video Director, Clarence Peters takes the song to an amazing height with a fantastic portrayal of the lyrics, filled with humor and an awesome touch of the old school musical visuals popular from the 60's, which would make you yell in amazement, especially with the creative use of Western outfits.


If you ask me oh, i go just tell u say..make u watch am for yourself.
SIMPLY SUPERB!!  i must say.
A million Thumbs up to Omawumi for such a great song, Clarence Peters for a "wicked" storyboard and waHOLAAA! for over-tripping for this video. LOL!!
