Arnold Schwarzenegger might be back as the Terminator after all, despite his day job as California governor.
Schwarzenegger confirmed in a Webcast interview that his image might appear in next month’s “Terminator: Salvation,” the fourth movie in the franchise about a showdown between humanity and machines.
The governor says he made it clear he had no time to shoot new footage but that the filmmakers are playing with technology to insert his image from the earlier “Terminator” movies.
Schwarzenegger says he told director McG he will come to the premiere of the movie, which stars Christian Bale as leader of the human resistance against machine conquerors.

Madonna Buying $40 Million New York Townhouse
Madonna is dropping $40 million on a massive New York City mansion.
The pop queen just signed a contract to purchase a multi-million dollar Georgian Townhouse in the “Gossip Girl” approved playground of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, according to the NY Post, which first reported the story.
“The townhouse is perfect for Madonna,” a source told the paper. “She’s trying to recreate London in New York City, and this is in the style of a London townhouse.”
The property, which features 36 rooms across 12,000 sq. ft, is one of the most expensive properties purchased in the area, a broker told the paper.
“[No home in that area] has ever sold for $20 million, let alone $30 million – or ever will again,” the broker said.
In addition, the property contains a 3,000-sq. ft. garden, a two-car garage and nine fireplaces.
For Global Awareness Justin Timberlake Climb Mount Kilimanjaro
Justin Timberlake has climbed to the top of the music charts. But now, he’s getting read to scale a much more formidable foe – Mount Kilimanjaro.
But now, Justin is getting ready to scale a much more formidable foe – Mount Kilimanjaro.
The pop star will trek up the mountain in Tanzania, Africa, along with rapper Lupe Fiasco and singer Kenna, in an effort to bring awareness to the global water crisis.
“I’ve been training four times a week to get my VO2 [oxygen consumption] levels up to expand my lungs,” Justin told GQ. “We’ll climb for a week straight, carrying 30 pounds on our backs. It’s going to be intense, but it’s going to be so rewarding.”
For Kenna, the effort to bring awareness to a worldwide danger is something that hits very close to home.
“My dad almost died as a child from waterborne diseases in Ethiopia, and he had talked to me about digging a well there, and I thought, ‘I have too many friends who would be concerned with the subject of clean water. Maybe I can help out,’ " Kenna told ELLE magazine in a recent interview.
And while none of the singers underestimate the journey ahead of them, Justin is confident he and his counterparts will be well-prepared.
Megan Joy Talks Life After American Idol
Blonde beauty Megan Joy was booted off “American Idol” last week, but just making the show was a huge triumph for the 22-year-old Utah-based mother.
During a visit to Access Hollywood, where she met up with “Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi for some advice, Megan revealed she had very little training before appearing on the show.
“I tried out for everything I could think of during junior high, in high school – didn’t make anything,” Megan revealed. “Even the choir that anyone can be in, I wouldn’t even make like a silly little solo.”
“That’s just so wrong, Megan,” Kara said.
“It was sad,” Megan replied. “I cried a lot in those years.”
As one of “American Idol’s” Top 10, Megan will continue to put those tears aside as she hits the road with her fellow “Idol” cast mates this summer on tour. After that, however, Megan might try her hand at penning her own material.
“Where do you see yourself now? What kind of record would you make?” Kara asked.
“Adele and Amy [Winehouse] and Duffy – I love their sound. If I was gonna veer in a direction, I would love to do that,” Megan said. “But I’ve never tried writing, so I don’t know what’s inside, but maybe it’s something super different and awesome that, you know, [is] new.”
Fox News Roger Friedman Out After Reviewing Leaked Wolverine
Fox News columnist Roger Friedman is out after posting a review of a leaked full-length work print of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” Fox News said Monday that the company’s representatives and Friedman “mutually agreed to part ways immediately.”
Friedman had been an entertainment writer who has contributed to FoxNews.com for 10 years. He wrote in his Fox 411 column Thursday that downloading the 20th Century Fox superhero prequel was “so much easier than going out in the rain” and that the movie “exceeds expectations at every turn.”
The early review of the film, which 20th Century Fox described as a “stolen, incomplete and early version,” was later removed from the Web site Friday.
The movie, which focuses on the beginnings of Hugh Jackman’s clawed Marvel superhero Wolverine, is not scheduled for release until May 1, but the leaked version began appearing online last week.
20th Century Fox promised that the source of the film would be prosecuted and said the FBI and Motion Picture Association of America are investigating the leak.
‘American Idol’ Megan Joy Sent Home From
But Megan Joy wasn’t able to rally enough votes from the public to save her from elimination on Wednesday evening.
“I would just like to say a couple things; thank you everybody who works on ‘Idol.’ The contestants — you guys are the best, judges — I love you, America — I love you and baby, I’m coming home,” Megan said before the show rolled a clip package showing the “Idol” journey of the 22-year-old Sandy, Utah, mother-of-one.
Before the elimination was announced, Ryan Seacrest asked Megan what she thought of British judge Simon Cowell’s criticisms of her following Tuesday night’s performance. Megan said she didn’t care and Simon referenced that when he shot down her wild card hopes.
“Megan, with the greatest respect that you don’t care — nor do we, so I’m not gonna pretend that we’re going to even contemplate saving you,” he said. “So this is your swan song.”
Megan’s elimination leaves just eight finalists in the competition including Anoop Desai and Allison Iraheta, who were the other two contenders in Wednesday’s bottom three.
On Assault, Threats Charges Chris Brown Set For Arraignment
The 19-year-old’s arraignment is scheduled for Monday afternoon. It has been nearly two months since Brown was accused of an early morning attack on 21-year-old Rihanna before the Grammys; both were supposed to perform at the show but withdrew.
Brown was charged on March 5 with two felonies — assault likely to cause great bodily harm and making criminal threats.
The “Run It!” singer’s arraignment was delayed until Monday.
If convicted of those charges, Brown’s potential punishment ranges from probation to nearly five years in prison.
Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is not expected to attend the proceedings.
More Wedding Bells For Tom & Gisele
The couple exchanged vows for a second time in a sunset ceremony at Gisele’s home in Costa Rica on Saturday evening, People reported.
A source told the mag the supermodel “looked so gorgeous” in a designer dress complete with a 10-foot-veil.
The couple were reportedly joined by about 25 guests for the ceremony, held on Gisele’s balcony at her Santa Teresa house. Among the guests? Tom’s son, John, who has been seen out and about with the couple during their trip, as well as Robert Kraft, owner of quarterback Tom’s New England Patriots.
The wedding was prefaced by a men’s brunch at the Milarepa hotel, where Tom and his guests ate from a menu made specifically for the event; meanwhile, female guests joined Gisele at her home to prepare for ceremony.
Tom and Gisele’s official wedding was reportedly held in Santa Monica, Calif., on February 28.
Paris Hilton: He's Going To Be My Husband
“He’s going to be my husband,” she giggled to E! Online at the I Heart Ronson for JCPenney party in LA.
And though she and the baseball player and former “The Hills” star have seemingly had a whirlwind romance, the celebutante said that Doug’s been part of her life for quite some time.
“We’re best friends,” Paris said. “It’s not like we just met. We’ve known each other over the past year. I was in a relationship before and we reconnected. I’m really in love and really happy.”
But according to Doug, the couple doesn’t have wedding bells in mind just yet.
“You never know,” Doug said.
Until then, he’s got a place on the set of the second season of Paris’ “My New BFF,” where she said he comes up with “funny ideas.”
“It’s good having my boyfriend on set and watching,” she said, adding that things didn’t work out with Season One winner Brittany Flickinger. “I want a best friend who wants to be friends with me because I’m a good person and a good friend, not for any other reason. I’ve been fooled by so many girls.”
Judge Denies Effort To Halt Michael Jackson Auction
Jackson’s production company was seeking the return of the collection of art, MTV Video Music Awards, crystal-encrusted gloves and nearly 2,000 other items removed from Jackson’s former home before the sale begins on April 22. They have another motion for an injunction to stop the sale, slated to be heard on April 15.
Auctioneer Darren Julien and his attorney claimed victory after the hearing, saying they do not expect other efforts to block the sale to succeed.
“We have to proceed because we have no choice,” Julien said.
His firm,Julien’s Auction House, has spent more than $2 million arranging the sale of the Neverland items and could go bankrupt if the sale was stopped, his lawyer told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brett Klein.
Klein’s ruling will “have no impact whatsoever” on the injunction motion, said Alan Gutman, who is representing Jackson’s company, MJJ Productions. That hearing will come before a different judge.
Jackson did not attend Friday’s hearing. But his father, Joe Jackson, sat in the audience and after Klein’s ruling, smiled and shuffled out of the courtroom. He declined to comment afterward.
MJJ Productions sued Julien’s Auction House last month, claiming Jackson hadn’t authorized the sale of items taken from his former home at Neverland Ranch.
Gutman has argued that an agreement signed by Jackson’s representative, Tohme Tohme, and Julien’s Auction House is unenforceable under California law.
But Julien’s lawyer, Jerry Hawxhurst, said the agreement gave the firm the right to sell the items as planned.
“The contract is clear as well water,” Hawxhurst said.
Julien and Jackson’s representatives agreed to allow some of the items to go on tour to promote their sale while the lawsuit proceeds.
The singer has struggled to pay his debts since his financial empire began to crumble following his arrest in 2003 on charges that he molested a 13-year-old boy at the ranch. A jury acquitted him of all charges.
Last year he faced foreclosure on Neverland, the 2,500-acre property nestled in the hills of Santa Barbara County’s wine country, 120 miles northwest of Los Angeles. He was bailed out by Colony Capital, and months later transferred the deed to Neverland to another entity he partially controls.
Jackson plans a series of concerts in London in July that he has said will be his last in the British capital.
Julien has been entrusted to preside over numerous auctions of famous memorabilia. Some recent celebrity sales have included items once belonging to Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Hope and rare behind-the-scenes footage of Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable on the set of the film “The Misfits.”
“The reason he hired us was to do a first-class auction,” Julien said Friday. “He worked with us for eight months to do an auction.”
$30.2M Opening For Fast and Furious
The Fast and The Furious,” earned well over its expectations and is on track to pass $75 or even $80 million – leaving the previous April record holder, 2003’s “Anger Management,” in the dust. The Adam Sandler-Jack Nicholson face-off earned $42 million its opening weekend.
The first “Furious” film, which also starred Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster, earned $40 million during its opening weekend in 2001, according to Box Office Mojo. It went on to earn over $200 million worldwide.
In second place on Friday was last weekend’s box office champ, “Monsters Vs. Aliens,” with 8.9 million, and “The Haunting In Connecticut” in third place with $3.7 million.

Demi Moore Uses Twitter To Send Alleged Suicidal Woman Help
LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
The life of a woman who claimed to be suicidal was saved on Friday with the help of Demi Moore and Twitter.
A woman sent the actress a message on the mirco-blogging Web site saying, “getting a knife, a big one that is sharp. Going to cut my arm down the whole arm so it doesn’t waste time.”
Demi re-Tweeted (re-posted) her message on her own Twitter page, writing, “Hope you are joking,” and “Everyone I was very torn about responding or retweeting that woman’s post but felt uncomfortable just letting it go.”
After reading Demi’s post about the alleged suicidal woman, other Twitter users who saw Demi’s post got involved posting messages that they were reaching out to police.
“the twitterverse is on the case just called silicon valley pd to report this woman many others had called. fingers crossed,” one user wrote in a post.
A rep for the San Jose Police Department told Access Hollywood said they “received several phone calls” about the woman starting at 3 AM on Friday. The calls were coming in from “all over the place, from far away places.”
Police told Access they “did locate the subject” and she had not hurt herself. The unidentified woman was “taken for evaluation.”
The good news quickly traveled across the Twitter universe and back to Demi, who thanked her followers for their help.
“Thanks everyone for reaching out to the San Jose PD i am told they are aware and no need to call anymore. I do not know this woman,” the actress wrote. “I am inspired by the enormous response of humanity here and thank you… It is my understanding that the situation was not a joke and that through the collective efforts here action was taken to provide help!”
