In my last post (Bad Boys, June 11) I mentioned that Mildred, Arnold Schwarzenegger's housekeeper, had kept a discreet silence up until that time, but we could be sure she would be enticed into telling her story for a generous sum.
She apparently got an offer she couldn't refuse. She and her Arnold look-a-like son are featured in Britain's Hello magazine and also the National Enquirer in the States (and you know your eyes skim over it in the grocery check-out line, don't lie).
She is different from the other bad girls out there, who are even now considering monetary offers, in that she apparently did not want the story to become public knowledge. By some accounts it was Arnold's wife Maria who leaked the story to the press in an understandable fit of fury. Mildred and her son then found themselves the center of a maelstrom. They have remained in seclusion until now. Since we can assume her housekeeping career is over, she may have decided it was wise to take the money and talk.
When confronted by Maria in a non-aggressive way, Mildred broke down and confessed. They both cried. Mildred told Maria "not to blame Arnie because it takes two." She offered to resign immediately, but in an incredible display of self-control and suppression of homicidal instincts, Maria asked her to stay through the Christmas holidays. Well, women do know how stressful the holidays can be without help.
Today porn star Ginger Lee came forward, in what she implies is her patriotic duty, to tell us that Congressman Anthony Weiner asked her to lie about all the sexy tweets he sent to her. As I write this, she is probably considering monetary offers that have come her way since she appeared before the cameras, while Weiner gets ready to face them in order to resign from Congress.
Speaking of Weiner, have any of you wondered if the men we see constantly checking and punching their cellphones, presumably "doing business," are actually sending salacious tweets? It had never occurred to me before but now, well, it does cross my mind.
I'm calling it the Weiner effect.
