Arnold Schwarzenegger makes snide remark about ex-wife Maria Shriver while promoting new film
The former California Governor spoke about the upcoming film, due out later this year on Prime Video, at Amazon's Upfront 2025 Presentation in New York City. During the engagement, he took the time to reminisce about an older holiday film of his.
"'Jingle All the Way' was the greatest Christmas movie of all time,' he said at the event on Monday, May 12, referring to the 1996 Christmas comedy film in which he goes to great lengths to secure the hottest new toy for his son and stars opposite Rita Wilson. 'They play it the whole month of December.'
"I know because my ex-wife calls me about the residual," Schwarzenegger joked.
Shriver, a former journalist, was married to Schwarzenegger for 25 years. The couple's marriage ended in 2011, following the revelation that Schwarzenegger had fathered a child with their longtime housekeeper.
Shriver opened up about their split, which was finalized in 2021, in her new poetry collection, 'I Am Maria.'
'It broke my heart, it broke my spirit, it broke what was left of me,' she wrote in the book, which was released last month. 'I was consumed with grief and wracked with confusion, anger, fear, sadness, and anxiety. I was unsure now of who I was, where I belonged. Honestly, it was brutal, and I was terrified.'
Despite being separated, Schwarzenegger and Shriver have co-parented their four children: Katherine, Christina, Christopher and Patrick, of 'White Lotus' fame.
'My chapter with Maria will continue on forever,' Schwarzenegger told People Magazine in 2023. 'Even though it's a different relationship, there's no reason for me to feel anything other than love for her.'

Oh no! Hypocritical celebrities abandon US, blaming Trump. What will we do now?
I've never been so mad at a political party or a politician that I felt like leaving my country. I love America too much to even consider it. But a slew of celebrities have done that. Late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel just announced during an appearance on the "The Sarah Silverman Podcast" on Aug. 7 that he obtained Italian citizenship. Kimmel alluded that President Donald Trump and the political climate he's created were contributing factors. It's not clear if Kimmel plans to move to Italy full time. "What's going on is as bad as you thought it was going to be," Kimmel said to Silverman during the podcast. "Way worse," Silverman said. "It's so much worse. It's just unbelievable," Kimmel said about America's political climate. "Like I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be." Kimmel joins other celebrities who fled America and blame Trump Kimmel joins several high-profile celebrities who have sought refuge elsewhere because of Trump. It's a fascinating example of how self-aggrandizement, celebrity and perception do not always equate to reality, common sense and gratitude. If anything, it fuels hypocrisy. Opinion: From crime to tariffs, Trump challenges the unacceptable. It's what good leaders do. People magazine reported in 2024 that the comedian and former daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, had moved to England. DeGeneres confirmed in July that Trump's return to the White House prompted her move across the Atlantic. In March, comedian Rosie O'Donnell announced in a TikTok video that she moved to Ireland with her child. She's working on obtaining Irish citizenship. In the video, she said she moved because she didn't think she'd have equal rights under Trump. If these celebrities' ties to our nation were so weak that they could be severed because Americans elected a Republican president, how much did they care about the United States to begin with? Were they ever really freedom-loving Americans?

When is 'Nobody 2' coming to streaming? Here's our best guess
"Nobody 2" sees Huch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) exploding back onto the big screen in another burst of ultraviolence. After the first film brought him out of retirement (and landed him in hot water), our everyman action hero is working hard to pay off some all he really wants to do is go on vacation. Of course, we all know that movie dads can't escape work that easily. Shortly after the Mansell family arrives in the rundown amusement town of Plummerville, trouble finds Hutch all over again — and hilarious, bone-crunching carnage ensues. So far, "Nobody 2" seems to be impressing action fans. It's currently Certified Fresh with a 76% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, and has an even higher score from fans (89% on the Popcornmeter). Having seen it myself, I don't think it quite matches up to Hutch's first outing, though it is a solid follow-up (with seriously fun action) that leans into the franchise's silly side. If you're waiting to stream "Nobody 2" at home, we do not yet have a streaming release date for the action sequel. However, if you'd like to plan your viewing, I've made an educated guess at when and where you'll be available to stream "Nobody 2" from the comfort of your own couch. If you're keen to see Bob Odenkirk back in action, the only way to watch "Nobody 2" right now is by heading to your nearest movie theater. And seeing as the movie only just released on Friday, August 15, that's not likely to change for a little while yet. As with most new releases, the first way you'll be able to watch "Nobody 2" at home will be via Premium Video-on-Demand (PVOD) storefronts like Prime Video. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. We don't currently have a PVOD release date for "Nobody 2," but I anticipate "Nobody 2" will land a digital release on or around September 15, 2025. That's based on the fact that we've waited about a month for Universal's most recent releases to be available on PVOD services (both "Jurassic World Rebirth" and the live-action "How To Train Your Dragon" movies followed this pattern). Similarly, we don't yet have a "Nobody 2" streaming date, but seeing as this action sequel is a Universal release, we can expect it to make its streaming debut on Peacock. Typically, we wait three to four months for Universal Pictures movies to come to the streaming service. Thus, I predict that "Nobody 2" will come to streaming in mid-November, possibly on Friday, November 14. That's based on the fact that it took "Drop" three months to come to the streamer after hitting theaters on April 11, and "Wolf Man" arrived in April after premiering in theaters in January. However, both "Nosferatu" and "The Phoenician Scheme" arrived sooner, landing on Peacock two months after release, which possibly means "Nobody 2" could be available a little sooner, too. Of course, this is all purely speculation at present, as Universal has not made any announcements about the "Nobody 2" streaming date just yet. As and when we learn anything, we'll be sure to share that info here. If you're looking for something new to watch in the meantime, check out our round-up of the best movies on Peacock for more streaming suggestions. If it's action you're after specifically, we can still help: take a look at our round-up of the best action movies on Netflix for even more thrills.
