Are Maria Shriver & Arnold Schwarzenegger Getting Back Together?

Maria Shriver & Arnold Schwarzenegger’s very public breakup is back in the spotlight with speculation running wild as to whether they are getting back together. Apparently Shriver is considering taking Schwarzenegger back. The estranged couple spent Christmas together with their three children; Katherine, 22, Christina, 20, Patrick, 18, and Christopher, 14.

Over the last few days Schwarzenegger has been photographed wearing his wedding ring. Today TMZ has reported that Shriver has now been spotted wearing something on her ring finger but it’s unclear if it’s actually her wedding ring. The couple has been seen frequently together since announcing their separation in May last year. And both have been making an effort to keep their separation amicable.

It has also been reported that a major factor is her religious beliefs; she is a devout catholic, who don’t believe in divorce. And apparently Arnold has been going to great lengths to try and win her back by showering her with gifts.

Arnold Schwarzenegger served with Divorce Papers

Maria Shriver has officially filed for divorce from Arnold Schwarzenegger after 25 years of marriage. It’s been nearly two months since the news that Schwarzenegger fathered a child to their former housekeeper became public. Shriver’s lawyer, Laura Wasser filed documents citing “irreconcilable differences” in Los Angeles Superior Court. They have four children together, ages 13 to 21.

Reportedly Shriver and Schwarzenegger are on speaking terms with each other. Shriver is seeking joint custody of the couple’s two teen sons, Christopher, 13, and Patrick, 17. It’s also been reported that there was no prenuptial agreement; if that’s the case then according to Californian law both their assets will be split down the middle. Their combined worth is estimated to be around $300 million.

Schwarzenegger’s son by Mildred Patricia Beana is 14 years old and was raised under the assumption that Beana’s then-husband was his father. Beana worked for Shriver and Schwarzenegger in their Brentwood home for more than 20 years.

Schwarzenegger, Shriver divorce could be a costly one

TrendPK.com: If Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger end up divorcing, it could be one of the most expensive ones to occur in Hollywood.

Their worth is currently being estimated at somewhere between $200 million and $400 million, states the New York Post. And while it is believed that they have a prenup, the length of their marriage and Schwarzenegger’s actions could result in it being tossed out.

Without a prenup, the couple would split assets half and half due to California law. With that, Shriver would come out with major money, more than Elin Nordegren got in her divorce from Tiger Woods.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Wants to Act Again

It’s hardly been two months since Schwarzenegger ended his role as the Governor of California and he already wants to get back to acting. He announced the news via Twitter himself.

“Exciting news. My friends at CAA have been asking me for 7 years when they can take offers seriously. Gave them the green light today.”

He has given the green light to Creative Artists Agency, they are a leading Hollywood talent agency.

Schwarzenegger is now 63 years old and it’s fair to say that he is most famous for his role as the “Terminator”. The first Terminator film was released in 1984. His most recent role is a cameo in Sylvester Stallone’s action thriller “The Expendables”, as a mercenary leader.

His announcement puts the speculation as to whether he would upgrade to national political office or return to acting has been answered by the man himself.

Jingle ALL The Way

Jingle ALL The Way updates :- Jingle All the Way is a 1996 family comedy film directed by Brian Levant and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad. The name is taken from a line in the Christmas song “Jingle Bells”. This is the last comedy to date that Schwarzenegger starred in. Schwarzenegger received a salary of $15 million for his role in the film.

As far as Hollywood’s holiday offerings go this Yuletide season, I’ll take Schwarzenegger and Sinbad doing slapstick over a bunch of spotted puppies running amok any day, and the soundtrack to Jingle All the Way is not too bad, either. There are a few standards- Chuck Berry’s “Run Rudolph Run,” Nat King Cole’s “Christmas Song,” and Charles Brown’s “Merry Christmas Baby”-but the real draw is the Brian Setzer Orchestra doing the ol’ Buster Poindexter routine on some of your favorites, including “Sleigh Ride” with vocals by the great Darlene Love (the driving force behind Phil Spector’s A Christmas Gift to You). The former Stray Cat’s new band also backs velvety-voiced Lou Rawls on a version of “So They Say It’s Christmas” which is pretty darn swell. The album gets docked a notch, though, for being a little skimpy at only 10 tunes plus some filler from the instrumental score.

Wildfire L.A. Spreads Gradually

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE: A wildfire burned out of control through the Los Angeles foothills and deep into the brittle forest on Sunday, threatening 10,000 homes and encroaching on the region’s telecommunications nerve center.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger visited the fire area and warned residents to heed evacuation orders for the “very dangerous” blaze that scorched 7,000 more acres (2,832 hectares) since day break for a total burned area of 42,500 acres (17,199 hectares).

Flames could be seen stretching 15 miles (24 km) above the heavily populated foothills, where an estimated 2,000 homes were under evacuation. At least 18 homes have burned, but most are thought to be cabins in a rustic canyon with few full-time residents.

At nightfall, firefighters focused their attention on Mount Wilson, the site of transmission towers for television and radio broadcasts and emergency services. Planes dumped water in the area, and officials said the fire could reach there in hours.

More than 2,500 firefighters were on the ground, coming from as far away as Wyoming and Montana, trying to build more than 100 miles (160 km) of fire protection lines.

In the suburb of La Crescenta, the streets were deserted Sunday afternoon except for a few residents fleeing with their suitcases and other belongings on foot.

Bob Sebesta, 47, sat watching the burning ridge from his in-laws’ house, which was evacuated Saturday night.

“I keep thinking I should go water the backyard,” Sebesta said.

The fire that started on Wednesday above the exclusive community of La Canada Flintridge is only 5 percent contained and officials expected that, with hot temperatures and low humidity, it would grow larger. The cause of the fire is being investigated.

HEALTH WARNINGS

Dense smoke filled the skies over the foothills and authorities issued health warnings for the Los Angeles basin.

A wooded neighborhood on the slopes of La Crescenta got the evacuation order in the middle of the night, but only around half the neighborhood left.

On Sunday afternoon, brothers Vince and John Bollier looked out onto the mountains in front of their parents’ house, where the fire had left only gray ash on the slopes.

“Last night was an inferno,” said Vince Bollier. “It was close, but it wasn’t life threatening, although a lot of people would have characterized it as dangerous.”

Sheriff’s deputies spent Sunday afternoon urging residents to leave, and it appeared most had.

Helicopters have been flying over the neighborhood for days, filling up with water to drop along the area where homes meet the dry wilderness.

The saving grace in the Station fire has been the absence of high winds, but much of the brush in the area has not burned in 60 years, terrain is difficult to access and humidity is low.

Four firefighters have been injured and three civilians have suffered burns, including two who were badly burned on Saturday after they tried to ride out the fire by sitting in a hot tub.

Many homeowners who were evacuated Friday and Saturday returned on Sunday, after an aerial assault with water and fire retardant saved their homes, many of them worth millions of dollars.

The relative lack of high winds has made fighting the fires from the air difficult because thick smoke hanging over them made them hard to see, Schwarzenegger said, adding that many of the flames are up to 80 to 100 feet high (24 to 30 metres).

Utility Southern California Edison said the blaze has cut power to about 250 customers.

Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in Los Angeles County last week in response to four fires in the area.

On Sunday, he said, there were eight “huge” fires burning statewide. In total, 55,000 acres (22,257 hectares) have burned, he said.
