"For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer."

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Hollywood was buzzing with rumours that Madonna was in secret talks with Arnold about starring in a big- budget action movie. "Nothing too violent, though," the singer reportedly told a friend. Madonna was a hit in Evita but apart from that, big-screen success has eluded her. At that time she spent a day with the Schwarzenegger family discussing plans.

O'Brien faced additional battery charges for allegedly shoving two people from Patrick's school who attemped to intervene on behalf of the Schwarzeneggers. If convicted they both face a year in jail and a $1.000 fine for charge."

READ THIS AWESOME INTERVIEW

The RTL (German television) moderator Frauke Ludowig had an interview with Ahnuld. Arnold also showed her the city of Santa Monica, Schatzi on Main, World Gym... She later spent a lot of time with Arnold and his friends - the whole RTL team travelled to his B&R premieres around the world (Austria, London...). The final result was a nice RTL EXCLUSIV presenting the Oak in one-hour Schwarzenegger Special.

Lance Henriksen told today's TV Guide Online that he originally tried out for the title role in the movie that launched James Cameron's career. Until Arnold Schwarzenegger came along, Henriksen had his eye on playing the killing machine from the future in The Terminator. 'If I'd done it,' he said, 'it would have been much more Machiavellian, nonphysical, but brilliant hydraulics rather than a giant tank.' Henriksen instead landed the role of a deputy police investigator.

Corona Coming Attractions had some neat info about Arnold's next film!

Visit Corona's The Sixth Day page (SPOILER WARNING!)

Script Asylum posted a completely anti-Arnold script review of Collateral Damage! I don't remember that this page published anything positive in the past when Arnold's name got mentioned! So I don't think we should take it seriously. In my opinion I think this really isn't a review but just another anti Arnold soul speaking. God help him or he'll be back!

Arnold and Whitney Houston were guests at the premiere outing of Twentieth TV’s “The Magic Hour” - a latenight talkshow with Los Angeles Lakers icon Earvin (Magic) Johnson. Earvin played it smart and booked the world's best-known action-movie star. The Oak captivated the audience and kept the interview light - joking that he didn't like being hosted by the ex-basketball player because it was the first time he didn't physically dwarf the interviewer. Arnold also paid Magic a super compliment by pointing out the similarities between their careers: superior athletes in their respective fields, businessmen and enterpreneurs.



Magic Johnson wisely choose Arnold as first-ever guest for his new talk show and the Nielson ratings showed their approval

Later during a Q&A period with the audience, Arnold was asked to identify the heaviest thing he ever lifted. "Magic's wallet," he shot back without hesitation. Magic got his own friendly jabs in. When Arnold asked why he had been chosen as the first guest, Magic said "My wife and kids love you...and Harrison Ford couldn't make it tonight." Arnold's charm worked and the inaugural show brought in ratings of 3.0, good enough to put it in front of David Letterman's Late Show. All Magic had to do then was to reproduce the results without the Oak for the rest of the season! Although having Arnold on is always a high point in any talk show, so far this has been Magic's ONLY high point. The show really is (or was) pretty awful, plus you could tell the audience quiestions were planted. Magic seems to have fun with it, but if it lasted longer than a few weeks would be because Magic is shelling out the money himself. Anyway, Arnold was still as cool as ever of course. He was in great spirits as he chatted with Magic about working out with him and his early days in TV (they showed a clip from Arnold's performance on "The Lucile Ball Show"). Then (as written before) the audience asked questions of Arnold such as "What's the heaviest thing you've lifted?" Answer: "Magic's wallet!" A fun but rather unrevealing interview.
