Arnold and Maria. (WireImage)Arnold Schwarzenegger certainly wasn’t licking his wounds when he split from his wife of 26 years, Maria Shriver, last May after it was revealed that he had fathered a child with the family’s longtime housekeeper. According to a new report, the former California governor actually bragged to his neighbor that the mother of his four children would likely forgive him, but if she didn’t, “I’m getting me a 20-year-old honey.”

That’s just one of the new revelations about Schwarzenegger and Shriver’s family, which he destroyed by carrying on for years with the also-married Mildred Baena, with whom he has a 14-year-old son named Joseph, born just after Shriver gave birth to the couple’s son Christopher. Newsweek reports that after the affair and love child came to light last spring, Shriver begged her husband to go into therapy with her to fix their problems. He only went to one session and refused to return, even though he knew it would cost him his marriage, according to her friends. And

Jessica and Joe. (WireImage)Joe Simpson claims he’s an innocent man.

The father of Jessica and Ashlee Simpson pleaded not guilty to two DUI charges on Thursday. On August 4, he was arrested in Sherman Oaks, California, after being pulled over by police, who soon suspected he had been drinking and brought him straight to jail. The minister-turned-talent manager was released the next morning after posting $5,000 bail.

Coincidentally, that same night Jessica tweeted that she had been substituting water for alcohol since becoming a mother to daughter Maxwell. “Joe's arrest shocked his family," a source told Us Weekly at the time. "Anytime he's in the news, it directly reflects upon Jessica and Ashlee."

Joe, 54, was not present in court on Thursday. A pre-trial hearing has been set for October 11. If convicted of the two counts, he could face a maximum of six months in jail, three years probation, and a $1,000 fine.

• Amanda Bynes dares to drive her car day after judge orders her to

Bynes in better days. (WireImage)Is Amanda Bynes above the law? She seems to think so. Thursday night, just one day after a judge ordered her to stop driving on her suspended license, the actress was once again behind the wheel in West Hollywood – and perhaps even more shocking, she got into yet another car accident.

As the 26-year-old attempted to exit a parking garage on Sunset Boulevard, a group of photographers spotted her and started to take pictures, so she covered her face and hit the gas pedal … even though the car in front of her hadn’t moved (click here for the video). The female driver of the white BMW that Bynes struck immediately hopped out and yelled, “You seriously just f--king hit my car!” but the actress did not respond and kept her face covered. After surveying the damage and realizing there really wasn’t any, the BMW owner got back in her vehicle and drove off, as did Bynes – who was still covering her face as she made her way through the intersection.

Dina and Lindsay. (Splash News)Like mother, like daughter? Dina Lohan sat down with the no-nonsense Dr. Phil McGraw for a “Dr. Phil” interview that will air on Monday, and in a preview, it seems he calls her out for Lindsay’s behavior – and her own – during the sit-down chat. The one-minute clip begins with Dina interrupting McGraw before he even asks his first question. “Are we to camera? We’re rolling?” she asks, as he looks stunned.

McGraw then reads her a list of negative things people have said about her and her mothering skills, including from her own ex-husband, Michael Lohan, who has accused her of taking money from their famous daughter – all of which Dina denies. After that, the mother of four is shown dabbing her eyes with a Kleenex and laughing as she slurs to McGraw, “You’re in your little tie and little shoes,” to which the TV doc responds, “What the hell does that mean?” The preview clip also includes a satellite interview with Michael, who asks McGraw if his ex “was drinking before she did your

Bynes before the breakdown. (WireImage)Amanda Bynes is really spinning out of control – and fast. On Tuesday, for the second time in two days, the former child star was photographed driving around Los Angeles despite the fact that her license is suspended. But this time, she was also caught smoking something from a pipe while sitting in her trash-strewn BMW. In a series of photos, Bynes is seen breathing in the smoke from the device and holding it, stuffing her face with fast food, and laughing to herself. According to TMZ, which obtained the sad pictures, remnants of burnt marijuana can be seen in a cup holder.

Bynes, 26, spent the entire day driving aimlessly all over L.A. First, she stopped at Baja Fresh in the San Fernando Valley for tacos, which she ate in her car in the parking lot. Then, she went to a spa, where she spent three hours getting pampered. At another point, she stopped at a Home Depot to buy multi-colored light bulbs. According to TMZ, the “All That” actress then “drove without purpose for several

Octomom. (Jeff Higgins/LE/Splash News)There goes the neighborhood. Nadya “Octomom” Suleman is moving her brood of 14 into a new five-bedroom home in Palmdale, California – and she paid for it with the money she earned for the solo porn video she released in July. According to TMZ (click to see photos), after getting rejected multiple times, Octomom – who was evicted from her previous home – finally found someone willing to rent to her. But before the single mom, who also stripped at a Florida nightclub, and her family were able to move in, Octomom had to fork over eight months worth of the $2,150-a-month rent (that’s $17,200) in addition to a huge security deposit. But can you blame her new landlord? After all, her 14 children completely destroyed their previous home!

The Sulemans new digs include three bathrooms, a three-car garage, a 14,000-square-foot backyard, pool with a slide, and a gazebo. It sounds like an upgrade from the La Habra residence they lost after Octomom stopped making mortgage payments for more than

Lohan. (Andy Kropa/WireImage)All Lindsay Lohan has talked about is how badly she wants to become a working actress again, so then why is she trying to get out of her role in “Scary Movie 5”? The troubled former child star has been avoiding producers of the spoof film for the past two weeks, reports New York Post’s Page Six, which adds that Lohan has been a no-show for rehearsals, missed her Sunday flight from NYC to Atlanta (where it’s being filmed), and even claimed she was suffering from walking pneumonia.

The 26-year-old even went as far as to go to a New York-area hospital over the weekend to “get her lungs checked” to prove she had pneumonia. “She is under contract – so to get out of it, she had to prove that she was sick,” says one source. But Lohan apparently didn’t get the sick note she was hoping for because another source adds that – after she was threatened with a law suit by Dimension Films – she was on a private plane bound for Atlanta (which producers provided for her).

Seal and Klum. (Charley Gallay/WireImage)Heidi Klum isn’t saying “auf Wiedersehen” to her ex-husband Seal just yet. Even though he made some nasty accusations about her to the press – namely that she lacked “class” and was “fornicating” with her bodyguard, Martin Kristen, before the couple split in January – the “Project Runway” host says she still hopes to have some sort of a relationship with the singer. In an interview on Katie Couric’s new daytime talk show, “Katie,” which aired on Wednesday, Klum revealed the split has been “horrible,” but added, “I want to be friends with him. I want us to be there for our children.”

“I’m someone who believes in a fairy tale and when I said ‘I do’ … I meant forever," Klum also told Couric. "But I don’t know, you never know what happens. Life ... changes, it’s that road with all those bumps and holes and you trying to struggle through them and — I don’t know, we just couldn’t make it work, you know?” As for their
