Arnold and Maria — It Doesn’t Make Sense!
There is a connection between the divorce of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver , and the statement Arnold and Maria gave TMZ regarding the injury of their son -- and it just doesn't add up. Their statement regarding Christopher's injuries presents what appears to be a united front -- Arnold and Maria side by side. But just days earlier -- while Maria was bedside with Christopher in ICU -- Arnold's lawyer filed a response to Maria's divorce petition that borders on insulting and cruel. As TMZ first reported, Arnold is asking the judge to shut down Maria's request for spousal support . Even worse, he's asking the judge to order Maria to pay her own lawyer's fees -- in a divorce triggered by Arnold's misdeeds. Sources connected with the couple tell us, Arnold's legal docs have been hurtful to Maria -- and that's an understatement. If we may offer an opinion ... it's hard to believe Arnold is so callous that he would challenge Maria at … [Read more...] about Arnold and Maria — It Doesn’t Make Sense!

Tosin Cole was larking about on the set of the Warner Bros House Party reboot in Los Angeles when an email dropped from casting director Kim Coleman ( BlacKkKlansman ) about Emmett Till ’s story. “I was like, ‘I’m filming for months non stop, I want to go home,’ ” he recalls thinking. “They wanted me to go for Medgar Evers , and I was like, ‘I don’t know who that is.
