Arnold Schwarzenegger Reveals ‘Terminator' Movie He Thought Was The Worst By Far
The actor and former California governor, who first played the cyborg assassin in the 1984 original, was asked by a viewer to decide among the franchise's six entries on 'Watch What Happens Live' Monday.
'I would say the worst was probably the No. 4 because that was done during the time I was governor and I was not in it,' he said. 'Does that make sense? How do you do 'Terminator' movie without me being in a 'Terminator' movie, right? Doesn't make any sense.'
That film would be 'Terminator Salvation' (2009), with Christian Bale at the top of the marquee. The film proved to be a relative box office and critical dud, and 'killed' the future of the franchise, at least according to one outlet.
Host Andy Cohen asked him if he used his power of office to complain.
'I called immediately,' Schwarzenegger replied. 'I said I'm gonna pass a law. Is it forbidden to do movies that suck? ... Yeah, of course. It's a no-brainer.'
Schwarzenegger reappeared in the series in 2015's 'Terminator Genisys,' which outgrossed 'Salvation' by about $432 million to about $356 million, respectively.
'Terminator: Dark Fate' (2019) was Schwarzenegger's last installment, earning decent reviews but disappointing box office.
Fast-forward to 1:18 for the 'Terminator' takedown:

Pamela Anderson dismisses 'rip-off' comments about Duchess Meghan's 'With Love' show
Pamela Anderson isn't cooking up beef with Duchess Meghan. "Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen asked The "Naked Gun" star about comparisons between her show and the royal's buzzy Netflix project during a segment on the Sunday, Aug. 3, episode dubbed "Plead the Fifth." "On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like 'With Love, Meghan' was of your show, 'Pamela's Cooking With Love?'" Cohen asked Anderson. "There were articles saying these two shows were very similar." "One," Anderson said, rating the shows' similarities. When Cohen asked again if she saw a resemblance, Anderson said, "I didn't." She repeated her answer instead of throwing a dash of shade: "I didn't really look, but I didn't invent cooking shows. She's just doing her thing." Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson and those endless relationship rumors The Bravo personality also asked the "Last Showgirl" star about ranking her four ex-husbands from "favorite to least favorite," which costar and rumored romantic partner Liam Neeson said was "not fair." When the Duchess of Sussex released the trailer for her much-anticipated Netflix lifestyle show "With Love, Meghan," in January, fans pointed out that Anderson's cooking show title also featured "with love." Meghan reentered public life this year and launched a pair of pre-Prince Harry-inspired pursuits – her Netflix show and the companion brand As Ever – five years after the pair first stepped back from their roles as senior working royals for the British royal family in January 2020. A second season of Meghan's "With Love" is set to be released this fall. Before meeting Harry, Meghan was the curator of a successful lifestyle blog, The Tig. Meghan's show has received backlash from viewers and critics alike but she has also garnered a loyal following in her return to public life. In recent years, Anderson, too, has reemerged as a leading lady, known for a softer image versus the years she was portrayed as a Hollywood sex symbol. She landed her first Golden Globe nomination this year for her performance in "The Last Showgirl." Her starring role alongside A-list actor Neeson in "Naked Gun" is the latest chapter in her story of reclamation after years of being defined by the tabloids.

Pamela Anderson Reacts To Meghan Markle Copying Rumors
Pamela Anderson isn't feeding into the foolish idea that there's something amiss between her and Meghan Markle. If you cast your mind back to earlier this year, you might recall that some definitely-legit sources were claiming that Meghan's show With Love, Meghan was a copy of Pamela's Cooking with Love. The co-creator of Pamela's show even told the Daily Mail, "We take pride in planting the first seeds – creating original, distinctive programming that audiences love – and it's a compliment to see our work with Ms Anderson resonate so strongly." However, the timelines don't actually make sense for any influence to have taken place, as Meghan's show wrapped filming before a trailer for Pam's series had even come out (and, besides, rich ladies have been making aesthetic shows that feature food for decades). But still, slop is grist for the mill. In the "Plead the Fifth" segment on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Pamela was asked, "On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela's Cooking With Love? There were articles saying that these two shows were very similar." "One. I didn't," Pamela replied. When pressed on whether she saw any "similarities," she replied, "No, I didn't really look. I mean, I didn't invent cooking shows. She's just doing her thing." Good thing no tabloids are writing about this as if it were a negative exchange!

Pamela Anderson doubles down on claims that Sylvester Stallone once offered her gifts to be his 'No. 1 girl'
Two years after Sylvester Stallone vehemently denied Pamela Anderson's claims that he once offered her gifts to be his "No. 1 girl," the "Naked Gun" star seemed to reignite the feud during Sunday's episode of "Watch What Happens Live." After being asked to respond to Stallone's denial that he once offered to buy her a condo and a Porsche, Anderson, 58, said, "Well, how could you make that up?... You know? I mean, that was pretty specific." Host Andy Cohen followed up with another question, asking Anderson if there "was a different car" that would've changed her mind at the time. "Maybe like a Shelby Cobra," she joked, before saying, "No, no, no." A representative for Stallone did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. In her 2023 Netflix documentary, "Pamela, a Love Story," Anderson said, "He offered me a condo and a Porsche to be his 'No. 1 girl.' And I was like, 'Does that mean there's No. 2? Uh-uh.' He goes, 'That's the best offer you're gonna get, honey. You're in Hollywood now.'" At the time, a representative for Stallone firmly denied Anderson's claim in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The statement from Pamela Anderson attributed to my client is false and fabricated… Mr. Stallone confirms that he never made any portion of that statement." In the documentary, Anderson explained why she turned down Stallone's alleged offer, saying, "I wanted to be in love. I didn't want anything less than that." These days, it seems like Anderson has found love with her "Naked Gun" costar, Liam Neeson. Anderson and Neeson, 73, have been sparking romance rumors since their press tour began. According to People, the two are dating. A source close to the movie said, "It's a budding romance in the early stages. It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other." Neeson previously admitted he was "in love" with his co-star. "With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film," Neeson told People in October. Anderson also complimented Neeson, saying he's "the perfect gentleman." "He brings out the best in you … with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him," she said. During Sunday's episode of "WWHL," Cohen - and Neeson's son, Daniel - praised the budding romance. "The question that I'm not asking the two of you tonight is what's going on between the two of you. I do just want to say, as a very old friend … all of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say." Cohen turned to Daniel, asking, "Right?" Daniel gladly agreed by saying, "Yes."
