Comedian and actor Tom Arnold has inserted himself into the news lately over his claims that he is in possession of embarrassing Apprentice outtakes of President-elect Donald Trump in which Trump uses racial slurs and other offensive language. Since then, he’s said that Trump’s team has threatened him with lawsuits and that “Watergate level journalists” are currently on the case reviewing the footage. Well, tonight, Arnold once again brought attention to himself regarding Trump. First, the True Lies star called on “gamers” to access a WordPress portal to get a hold of Trump tax returns, which Trump has refused to...

Actor Tom Arnold is still allegedly holding onto tapes that show President-elect Donald Trump casually blurting the N-word along with “every dirty, every offensive, racist thing ever.” Arnold claimed he was in possession of these tapes last week, and while rumors about these tapes’ alleged existence spread before Election Day, they still have not been released, if they exist at all. Plenty of people are getting anxious about these alleged tapes, and they want answers. One such person is actor Michael Rapaport, who took to Twitter to ask Arnold, “Where Dem Tapes At?” Arnold replied in a 14-part tweetstorm that...

Actor Tom Arnold is making waves with recent claims that he has outtakes from "The Apprentice" that feature President-elect Donald Trump using inflammatory language.

Tom Arnold claims to have unreleased "Apprentice" outtakes of President-elect Donald Trump saying "racist" and "offensive" statements. The comedian said on KIRO radio's "The Dori Monson Show" he was sent the outtakes as part of a "Christmas video" by producers of the show. He said they sent it around as a "funny" video when Trump announced his candidacy and they had no faith he had a chance of winning. "I have the outtakes to 'The Apprentice' where he says every bad thing ever, every offensive, racist thing ever," Arnold claimed. "It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word,...

In news that may surprise anyone who saw 2015’s Terminator Genisys, its star Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced that a sixth Terminator film is on the way. In an interview broadcast on Australia’s Channel 9, the 68-year-old screen killing machine and former Governor of California was asked about the possibility of Terminator 6: “I am looking forward to it, absolutely,” Schwarzenegger told host Richard Wilkins, without giving any further details on plot or release date. […] Many assumed the new film was canceled as a result of the disappointing box office performance of Terminator Genisys, which took just $89 million at...

NBC has landed a huge name to replace Donald Trump as host of Celebrity Apprentice. Former California governor and international movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger will take over the reality franchise, NBC announced Monday.

In another thread, I came across Donald Trump doing a passable job of the Green Acres theme. Here in the Dallas area, the Ticket sports station has their own variation of the theme. My question to the vast collection of musicologists out there in FReeperland is about the instrumentation deployed on that familiar theme. What in the heck are those instruments that gave it such a distinct, rustic flavor? Was it Moog synthesizers or traditional string and woodwinds? I'll admit to being pretty much of an idiot when it comes to the "behind the scenes" stuff involved in creation of...

“I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman.” Yes, back in 2003, actor turned GOP politician Arnold Schwarzenegger made the aforementioned verbal blunder. He spoke a lot more eloquently on the issue on Friday in Los Angeles. “I’m very happy that they made the right decision because we in California of course are always a step ahead,” he said, giving a self-congratulatory shout-out to the 2008 legalization of same-sex marriage the state passed during his second term in office. “We made that decision already, a long time ago. Our Supreme Court of...

A new battle is brewing over the future of Evangelical theology. Roger Olson, Evangelical theologian at Baylor University’s Truett Seminary, protests in a recent article that some Evangelicals (especially me in a recent article in the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society) misunderstand “liberal theology.” We think, he says, that liberal theology “is a good label for any deviation from orthodoxy.” So we wrongly label, he says, “any deviation from or attempt to re-form orthodox Christian tradition as ‘liberal.’” Instead, he argues, liberal theology is that which makes modernity rather than Scripture its norm. Yet there are troubling signs that...

The history, mystery and industry surrounding "The Arnold Palmer," the lemonade-and-iced tea beverage that has become a piece of Americana.

Former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a film star who is also an environmentalist, stole the show at a gathering of mayors committed to climate and energy objectives held in the European Parliament yesterday (24 June). Speaking to the annual meeting of the Covenant of Mayors, Schwarzenegger was applauded as he said that real drama was not in Hollywood movies, but in the climate change challenge. “If we do nothing, we are on track for a temperature increase of 3.6 to 5.3 degrees Celsius by the end of this century. We have already seen in California the changes. There is no...

will always remember the day I woke to the news that more than 2,000 fires were burning in California. I thought I must not have heard correctly. Two thousand fires? How could that be? In the end, the state's brave firefighters, joined by contingents from out of state, won the battle. But not before 11 emergency declarations were issued and more than 400,000 acres burned. Countless lives and livelihoods were ruined. Today, there's a new disaster looming, and although it's not as riveting or dramatic as walls of flames and billowing black smoke, it needs our immediate attention. The draft...

"You can't run from your mistakes. You have to confront them." -- Arnold Schwarzenegger Believe it or not, there was a time when people didn't go on TV to confess their sins. That was back when most understood what sin is, before everything became excusable, especially for celebrities and the politically powerful. Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is on a media tour promoting his book, "Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story." It certainly is. On "60 Minutes," in USA Today and elsewhere, Schwarzenegger acknowledges affairs with women not his wife and the son he fathered with their housekeeper. He...

Former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has admitted in a new interview that he performed two same-sex marriages while serving in office, although he remains supportive of policies to preserve the traditional definition of marriage. "I always said that I have nothing against people doing what they want to do. If they – if the – a couple wants to get married, they should get married. I personally always said that marriage is between a man and a woman, but I would never enforce my will on people. I always want people to make that decision. If they want to get...

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver are desperately trying to salvage their marriage and have reportedly started participating in couples therapy. Although Shriver filed for divorce in July after 25 years of marriage, following the news that Schwarzenegger fathered a love child with, Mildred Patricia Baena, the family's long-term nanny, she is now reconsidering due to her Catholic values, according to the New York Post. "Maria is a devout Catholic and doesn't believe in divorce, but is still struggling with the profound heartbreak and humiliation she endured by him. Arnold is desperate to save the marriage; he and Maria are having...

Hours after Gov. Jerry Brown issued a spirited attack on politicians who doubt the significance of climate change, Brown's predecessor -- former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger -- praised Brown but urged a spirit of inclusiveness. "To me, it made no difference if a Democrat had a great idea or a Republican had a great idea, or if someone from the outside had a great idea, or if someone from within the office had a great idea," Schwarzenegger said this afternoon at Brown's conference on climate change at the California Academy of Science in San Francisco. "The more inclusive you are about...

The two-day-a-month unpaid furloughs of state executive branch workers ordered in 2008 by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger legally applied to employees of California's elected constitutional officers, an appellate court in Sacramento ruled Tuesday. Applying the furlough order to the staffs of constitutional officers "does not violate the California Constitution's system of divided executive authority or impermissibly interfere with (the officers') statutory right to control the staffing and management of their respective offices," a three-justice panel of the 3rd District Court of Appeal declared in a 47-page opinion. Schwarzenegger resorted to furloughs as a cost-saving device in the face of an overwhelming...

Um, hardy har? Arnold Schwarzenegger recycled an old gag T-shirt while exercising in Santa Monica on Sunday. As the photo (originally at TMZ) shows, the former California governor and actor, 64, donned a shirt that read "I survived Maria" on the back; on the front of the shirt the dates "2007-2010" appear, but "2007" is crossed out, replaced with "1977.

It's an old shirt, but it has a new meaning now - and maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger should have left it in the closet. The "Terminator" star was caught Sunday sporting a white tee with the phrase "I Survived Maria" and the dates of his relationship with ex Maria Shriver - "1977 - 2010" - emblazoned on the back, according to a photo obtained by TMZ.com. Schwarzenegger and Shriver have filed for divorce after his love child scandal, but her staff gave him the shirt as a lighthearted joke last year, a Schwarzenegger source told the Daily News.
