WORLD SELEBRITIS

Things just keep getting worse for Arnold.

First, he announced his 25 year marriage with Maria Shriver was over.

Next he admitted to an affair with an ex-housekeeper and fathering a love child that is now 13-years-old.

And now Hollywood is putting the brakes on his future movie career.

Arnold’s damage control firm released a statement yesterday saying,

“At the request of Arnold Schwarzenegger we asked Creative Artists Agency to inform all his motion picture projects currently underway or being negotiated to stop planning until further notice. Mr. Schwarzenegger is focusing on personal matters and is not willing to commit to any production schedules or timelines. We will resume discussions when Governor Schwarzenegger decides.”

From what we hear it was not as much a matter of Arnold bowing out, but rather the studios pulling the plug on the actor because of his current “personal matters”.

In fact, Arnold had several big deals in the works including a return to his role in a “Terminator” sequel. It was a sure thing and studios were lining up to make it happen. Not anymore.

Arnold had also entered into a deal with comic book legend Stan Lee to produce a television series called “The Governator” lending his voice talents to the lead crime fighting character. Unfortunately, the series was to show Arnold fighting crime with the help of his wife Maria and their four children. Awkward.

A rep says,

"In light of recent events, A Squared Entertainment, POW, Stan Lee Comics, and Archie Comics, have chosen to not go forward with the Governator project."

Another project that has now been taken off the table is “Cry Macho”, about a retired horse trainer who gets caught up in an international kidnapping scheme.

The film was written by Richard Nash, and was to be directed by Brad Furman, and produced by Bill Block and Albert Ruddy - but not anymore.

The other movie deal in the works was “The Last Stand”, where Arnold would have played a sheriff chasing a drug cartel leader who busts out of a courthouse and runs for the Mexico border.

This film was written by Andrew Knauer and scheduled to be directed by Jee-woon Kim.

Both movie projects were in pre-production with filming to start in 2011-2012 with a release date of late 2012 or early 2013.

Nobody is saying for sure that these projects will NEVER happen, just that they have been taken off the table “until sometime in the future”.

If things blow over for Arnold I suspect we could see him wiggle back in to the movie biz, but if the public (and Hollywood) turn on him then it’s over.

Hasta la vista, baby

An end of an era is upon us.

When I was growing up I would come home from school and “All My Children” would be on the television.

I was not into music yet, but I could recognize that theme song from anywhere in the house.

Today, ABC announced that two of its longest running soap operas, “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” are coming to an end after almost 43 years of production.

“One Life To Live” started in 1968 and addressed many of the country’s social and economic issues, and it quickly became a hit with the “house wives” of the time and gave ABC the incentive to try their hand at another serial.

“All My Children” first aired in 1970. Like “One Life To Live”, “All My Children” focused on many of the country’s current and controversial issues. But instead of focusing on the lifestyles of the rich and famous, the show addressed social issues such as homosexuality, AIDS and abortion.

With almost 11,000 episodes each, the shows were famous for jump-starting the careers of many of Hollywood’s now famous people like;

Laurence Fishburne, Tommy Lee Jones, Hayden Panettiere, Ryan Phillippe, Brandon Routh, Blair Underwood, Tom Berenger, Mischa Barton, Kim Delaney, Josh Duhamel, Jesse McCartney, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lauren Holly, Christian Slater, Michelle Trachtenberg and Amanda Seyfried.

The trend over the last few years has been to move away from scripted daytime drama to a more comfortable daytime talk show format – think “Ellen” and “Oprah”.

The passing of the torch is complete and the daytime industry is now in the hands of our children.

Kids, you better not screw this up.

It looks like the meeting between Justin Bieber and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been cancelled – and it looks like it might be Bieber’s fault.

Israeli news reports that Bieber refused to meet with a group of children who had survived a rocket attack in Gaza. In turn, Netanyahu said he would not meet with the singer.

Bieber’s people don’t exactly deny that Bieber did not meet with the children, but indicated there had been a scheduling problem that prevented the meeting.

Bieber’s press guy says,

"Justin welcomes the chance to meet with kids facing difficult circumstances, regardless of their background, and in fact, he has already invited children from the Sderot area to be his guests with other fans at his concert in Tel Aviv on Thursday night."

True. In fact, Justin is inviting kids to see his show free – over 700 of them. Bieber’s staff has made over 700 free tickets available to the same children he was supposed to meet with. We suspect this is just a massive communication breakdown somewhere but – no harm no foul. Let it go.

Either way, it is turning out to be a hectic visit for the pop sensation. Just this morning he was hounded by photographers as he tried to attend church with his parents.

Bieber has told reporters he is taking a few days to see some of the historical sights the Holy Land has to offer. Both his mother and father have joined him on his visit to Israel.

“30 Rock” star Alec Baldwin attended a fundraiser Monday night in New York City when he dropped a bombshell.

Baldwin told reporters that next season will be the LAST season for “30 Rock”. When asked about the award winning sitcom Baldwin answered,

"I will tell you one thing - and that is next year is our last year of the show. Our contracts expire in 2012, and Tina is going to have a big career directing films and writing. She's going to be the next Elaine May. She'll be great."

Okay, we don’t know who Elaine May is but…

Baldwin has hinted around in the past that 2012 would be HIS last year, but this is the first we have heard about Tina Fey leaving. But it only makes sense; I have to admit that I think the show has really gone down in quality this last season.

I think people have grown really tired of Jack and his women problems, and Tracey Morgan is such an idiot that he should be on a children’s show – not a prime time network series. Morgan’s character is so absolutely horrible that it makes you wonder why the show would even want him as host of the fictitious “TGS”.

I’m sure it’s hard to keep the writing and plot mojo of the first couple of seasons going, but if this last season is any indication of what we can expect for the next - then it’s time to pull the plug.

I much rather see Tina Fey in a new, funnier show where she once again has the creative run of the ship and can start with a clean slate.

However, in-as-much as it is Tina’s show (she created it and executive produces it), and with no disrespect to Alec Baldwin, I think we need to wait until we actually hear the same words coming from Tina Fey.

After all, this would not be the first time Baldwin spoke out of turn. This could all just be pre-positioning before next year’s contract negotiations.

And you know that things in Hollywood are never what they seem on the surface…

Justin Bieber fans were in shock today when the teen heart throb announced that he was cancelling the remaining dates on his world tour.

No details were given other than a statement from his Twitter account saying:

“How could you do this to me? I’m done. Sorry to all of the people that were planning on coming to the world tour but it has been canceled.”

We suspect, however, that this is a cleverly disguised version of an April fool’s prank.

Bieber, no stranger to pranking his fellow teammates, seems to be trying to shock the world into a frenzied panic.

As if we don’t have enough problems already?

Last month, Bieber got a hold of his guitar player’s phone and tweeted that he had been fired and would no longer be playing with Bieber on his tour. Funny.

Relax world. The tour is not cancelled. It was an April fool’s joke.

CBS and Executive Producer Chuck Lorre pulled the plug on the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men yesterday after Sheen went on several insane rants on the radio and in writing.

It started when Sheen called in to the “Alex Jones Show” and slammed CBS, Lorre, and others around him. Sheen calls Lorre a “turd”, slammed Alcoholics Anonymous, and called Thomas Jefferson a pussy. You can listen to Charlie’s rant here.

But there was more. Charlie proceeded to trash everything in earshot and was frequently unintelligible – ranting about trolls, warriors, F-18 Fighters, and the mysterious Vatican Assassins.

Things did not stop there. After executive producer Chuck Lorre and the brass at CBS heard Sheens comments they immediately stepped in and cancelled Two and a Half Men for the rest of the season.

Charlie Sheen then produced an “open letter” that truly shows the depths of the actor’s problems. Charlie ranted in his letter:

What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows ... I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can't handle my power and can't handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words -- imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong.

Remember these are my people ... not yours...we will continue on together...

Charlie Sheen

Wow. Charlie is done. He has been dropped from the upcoming “Major League 3” because CEO James Robinson says he cannot risk working with another Lindsay Lohan. Robinson should know – he tried to work with Lohan on Georgia Rules and knows what can happen.

Charlie, put down the crack pipe and hookers and get your life back on track. When the world starts comparing you to Lindsay Lohan you are only moments away from death or jail.

RIP Charlie Sheen, the world really liked you there for a while.
