Ms. Lauryn Hill Brings The Funk To Pomona, CA

Last night, David and I made the trek East to Pomona, CA to see Ms. Lauryn Hill (her professional name these days) live in concert. After taking many, many years off from her music career after the release of her sole album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill back in 1998, it would appear that Ms. [...]

Report: Mildred Baena Confessed Affair to Maria Shriver After Confrontation


Even as she had an affair with Arnold Schwarzenegger and raised his love child, Mildred "Patty" Baena admired and was obsessed with Maria Shriver.

Perhaps that might help explain why the housekeeper came clean when confronted by Shriver very recently, which a new report suggests she did.

Arnold Schwarzenegger did not voluntarily tell his wife that he fathered a love child with Mildred Baena, sources say, but did admit it when asked.

That happened after Maria Shriver confronted Baena, who confessed.

It's still not clear if Shriver found out before or during the course of the L.A. Times breaking the story, but that's how it supposedly went down at home.

In his only statement on the topic, Arnold said: "After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago.”

Those carefully chosen words don’t tell the story, according to Radar.

“Maria has suspected this for a long time and confronted her,” a source said. “The housekeeper admitted it. Maria then went to Arnold and he confessed.”

He didn’t volunteer the information, which had been a secret for over 14 years, and could have remained that way if Shriver hadn’t asked him.

Baena was NOT fired by Arnold, says another source, despite earlier reports, nor did she threaten to expose Schwarzenegger for any reason.

“Yes, her employment ended, but without animosity,” a source said.

“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.”

Ya think??

Meanwhile, Maria Shriver has hired one of the toughest divorce lawyers around, but she STILL hasn't pulled the trigger on ending her marriage.

Sources close to Maria say that even with Laura Wasser repping her, and having been unhappy for years before this scandal, she's hesitant.

Maria hired Laura well before the news of Schwarzenegger's baby mama broke, but Maria has been conflicted over whether to file for divorce because of her Catholic faith and the fact that Arnold still insists that he wants her back.

Kim Kardashian's Beverly Hills Lunch Date

Stepping out for a social call, Kim Kardashian was spotted having lunch in Beverly Hills yesterday afternoon (May 18).

Joined by pal Jonathan Cheban, the ?Keeping Up with the Kardashians? babe looked stunning in a flirty white dress with beige platform heels.

Kim recently shared that her new perfume Gold reminds her of her younger years when her late father would buy her different fragrances.

"When my dad would go away on trips he always came back with a special perfume for me. I hated when he bought perfume for his girlfriends, but loved it when he bought me a glamorous bottle of his favorite scent of gardenia. So when I was developing Gold, I thought of him and other happy times in my childhood."

Ms. Kardashian also explained that she put a lot of time and effort into making sure everything was just right for Gold.

"To me, summer is sexy, beachy and glamorous with thoughts turning to romantic evenings. I wanted something powerful yet not too sweet. I got stressed out while developing the scent because I wanted it to be just perfect. I am very hands on with my fragrances. I really didn't want a square bottle of any type. I am curvy and think my fragrance should represent me. So I picked a sleek round vessel in gold with ebony accents."

'Pirates' Director Says He Was 'Crazy' To Shoot 'On Stranger Tides' In 3-D

'Even though it's more complicated and it's more expensive, it felt right for this film,' Rob Marshall tells MTV News.

At multiplexes everywhere this summer, you'll see moviegoers wandering around with 3-D glasses perched on their noses, which, depending on whom you ask, is either a lovely development for audiences or a sign that studios will wring every last dollar from the public regardless of quality or common sense.

Put that judgment to "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" director Rob Marshall, and he'll explain why his Johnny Depp-starring summer blockbuster is the perfect fit for the three-dimensional treatment. "I don't think every movie should be 3-D, honestly, but I feel like certain movies lend themselves to 3-D, especially if it's real 3-D," he explained. "We shot it in 3-D. It wasn't converted. It wasn't done on a soundstage against a green screen. It's all very real."

And its very realness is what made the endeavor so darn outrageous. "It's complicated with 3-D. It's delicate," Marshall explained. "We were kind of crazy doing it, because we were bringing all this equipment into very remote locations. We were in caves and jungles and waterfalls and beaches and ships with this equipment."

The production shot in such isolated locales that on the first day of shooting in Hawaii, the crew could only reach set by jet ski. The equipment, including the bulky 3-D cameras, had to be flown in by helicopter. But the complex logistics — and the added expense — will pay dividends for those 3-D-glasses-wearing ticket buyers.

"Even though it's more complicated and it's more expensive, it felt right for this film, because you're inside the movie, inside that adventure with the pirates and Jack Sparrow — immersed into that world," Marshall said. "It's a great world to be part of."

Check out everything we've got on "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."

Lady Gaga Steals Spotlight At Cannes Film Festival

If anyone could divert attention from the A-listers at the Cannes Film Festival, it's Lady Gaga. On Wednesday night, the pop star touched down at the festival to perform a waterfront concert on the Riviera for the French TV show "Le Grand Journal."

Before the live event, Gaga took to the streets of Cannes wearing a studded leather vest with "Born This Way" emblazoned on the back. She completed the look with a choker, bra and a two-toned hairstyle.

Gaga then took the stage for a live performance of her hit single "Judas." With the Mediterranean as her backdrop, Gaga treated thousands of fans to a memorable, high-energy performance, accompanied by a retinue of male dancers.

Check out photos of Lady Gaga's performance in Cannes.

"It's beautiful; it's very, very busy, but it's really nice to be here." Gaga told the adoring crowd. "It was so lovely performing with the ocean. I would've liked to have jumped in after the performance!"

Wearing a gold-embellished ensemble, a red hood and the same black-and-white hairstyle, Gaga explained the inspiration behind her look to host Michel Denisot.

"I was really obsessed with religious imagery and fashion for the 'Judas' video," Gaga said. "I've been wearing very romantic, very biblical arrangements, and I always throw in some punk rock for good measure."

Gaga, who served as guest mentor on this week's "American Idol," is appearing next on a very different medium: She's giving fans their first listen to tracks from Born This Way on the online game "Farmville" starting next Tuesday, a week before her album drops on May 23.

'Avatar' Villain Stephen Lang Isn't Ruling Out A Return Trip To Pandora For James Cameron's Sequels

It feels kind of silly to do this over a year later, but? well, let's just say that if you haven't seen "Avatar" yet, we're about to drop a major spoiler. Last chance to turn away. Still with us? Good! We know it's a good few years away yet, but as big fans of the property, [...]

So a Lady and Her Monkey Walk Into a Petsmart...

I went to Petsmart yesterday to get some things for little Mary Margaret, and while I was pulling into the parking lot, I passed a lady getting out of her car with a monkey on her shoulders.

Of course I came to a screeching halt because there was a lady getting our of her car WITH A MONKEY ON HER SHOULDERS, and that's just something you don't see every day.

I proceeded to take a photo...

...but then thought it would be better to capture the craziness on video, so here it is:

When I told Mark about the lady and her monkey and showed him my movie, he said, "You really are crazy." I was like, "I'm crazy? THE MONKEY WAS WEARING A DIAPER AND PEARLS."

I mean, for real, let's put this into perspective.

Anywho, here's another photo of the lady and her monkey at the checkout counter:

I realize I now have one cat and two dogs, but at least I don't walk around with a monkey on my shoulders. (Yet.)
