There has been tons of speculation surrounding which party was responsible for leaking the story of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s secret child. Most had it as Mildred Baena being the responsible party as she was (allegedly) let go after Maria found out about the betrayal. But now TMZ is reporting that Maria Shriver’s people are the ones responsible for the leak:

TMZ has new information from sources connected to Maria. We’re told when Maria found out that Arnold was the father of Mildred Patty Baena’s son, she was “hysterical” and wanted to hold a news conference blowing the lid off the scandal.

We’re told Maria’s friends talked her off a ledge and a plan was eventually hatched to leak the details to the L.A. Times and TMZ.

And we have new information about when Maria found out about the baby. Now we’re told Maria learned about Arnold’s love child in late April or very early May.

The timeline further supports the story TMZ broke earlier — that Maria was miserable in her marriage and wanted out for a long time. As we first reported, Maria was looking at pricey L.A. condos back in January with a Beverly Hillls realtor.

Maria has told friends for nearly two years she wanted a divorce but never pulled the trigger. Maria, we’re told, is now ready to end the marriage.

TMZ goes on to say that Arnold and his people are ticked that Maria leaked the story and they know for sure that the story came form Shriver’s camp. And the plt thickens.

 

So Rogelio Baena, ex-husband to Mildred Baena, spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the entire scandal. The biggest revelation from the interview was that he didn’t find his son wasn’t his son until one week ago. All this time he thought the boy was his biological child:

Rogelio tells ET he thought Arnold’s alleged love child was his biological child all along and that he learned that the boy was not his son only one week ago. He goes on to call the situation a “betrayal” and “Arnold Schwarzenegger for me, [was] my hero… Maria is destroyed.”

Married to Patty for ten years, today Rogelio says he’d like to tell his son, “I am your father. That’s all.”

I find this interesting because when you look at the divorce papers Mildred checked that their were no minor children born in the marriage. So how did he miss that? Has he been paying child support all these years? What?

When asked how he felt about Arnold Schwarznegger he had this to say:

Angry! Very, very angry! Arnold Shwarzenegger, for me, was my hero. Now, I feel betrayed.

 

So it’s blame the woman, or in this case the women time in this election season and the 2012 presidential campaign hasn’t even started yet. Darling of the right and Republican front runner (as much as there is one at this point) ended his presidential run before it begin because his wife and four daughters vetoed it:

But instead of an upbeat notification detailing kick-off plans, close Daniels allies were surprised to wake up Sunday morning to an email from the Indiana governor saying he would forgo a run. The lucky few – like conservative commentator George Will, a Daniels friend – got a personal call the day before.

Daniels’ message by voice and in writing was the same – his wife and their four grown daughters had veto power on a campaign, and they had exercised it. If anyone wondered about the depth of Cheri Daniels’s concerns about the prying eyes of the public, those questions were more than answered in a string of stories and columns focused on her and her husband around the time of her May 12 speech at an Indiana Republican Party dinner.

Earlier reports of their unorthodox relationship – Marriage. Divorce in 1993. Re-married in 1997. With his wife marrying another man in the intervening years and leaving the girls with their father during that – led to many question Cheri Daniels character and her ability as a mother, with many saying she abandoned her daughters. Apparently the scrutiny was too much:

“Now, because of her husband’s prominence in national politics, Cheri Daniels is facing harsh judgments,” wrote “On Parenting” blogger Janice D’Arcy in the Washington Post just last week, adding readers had used the word “abandoned” in the comments section in connection with the split and her kids.

The question, whispered about by Republican elites and fanned by operatives in some rival camps, was gaining such traction that Daniels himself sought to snuff out the whiff of bad parenting in a strong statement to the Indianapolis Star, delivered separately from the one in which he bowed out of the national race.

Those family concerns clearly weighed heavily on the Daniels clan, and ultimately won the day.

“I guess I had always hoped and believed they would find a way, that the governor and his family would find a way to accommodate this run,” close friend Tom Bell told POLITICO. “But I think that was wishful thinking of my part.”

It just shows how in modern day politics any hint of scandal can end a campaign before it begins. And since this is all very public knowledge, there would have been no way to hide this from probing public. Oh well, anther one bites the dust.

 

Seems like the Italians have had enough of Silvio Berlusconi and his wayward penis:

Italian prosecutors Wednesday formally requested a trial of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for alleged abuse of power and sex with an underage prostitute, they said.

Judge Cristina di Censo has five days to make a decision on how to proceed now that Milan chief prosecutor Edmundo Bruti Liberati has filed the application.

She can accept the request, putting the trial in motion without a traditional preliminary hearing; or dismiss it, allowing investigations to continue to determine whether there is enough evidence for trial.

She could also refer the case to another court. Berlusconi’s lawyers have argued that the Milan courts do not have jurisdiction — because of where the alleged crimes were committed — or the authority to try a prime minister.

Prosecutors are investigating claims that Berlusconi paid for sex with nightclub dancer Karima El Mahrough, who was 17 at the time of the alleged activity.

Of course Prime Minister Berlusconi has called the accusations “groundless” and desn’t seem to plussed over the whole thing only apologizing “…because these (allegations) have offended the dignity of the country. They’ve thrown mud on the government, on the country and on myself at an international level.”

And why should he, he’s been making headline for his “indiscretions” since he’s been in office. And even with this scandal there’s still no country wide cry for his ouster, though two recent polls show roughly sixty percent of Italians would like him to resign. It will be fun to watch where this one goes.

 

So the Italian Premier, Silvio Berlsuconi may have finally warn out his welcome with his whoring ways. Paying 17 year old’s for sex has a way of doing that even for Italians:

Silvio Berlsuconi’s political sex scandal is the latest to dominate the headlines. As reported at Yahoo! News, the 74-year-old prime minister of Italy is fighting to remain premier despite allegations that he paid a 17-year-old girl for sex, which is a crime in Italy if the prostitute is under 18, and had topless women dance for him at his Milan villa. Berlusconi denies the allegations.

The public is aware of court documents and wiretapped phone conversations of the women who attended Berlsuconi’s alleged parties. Yet, the premier is not backing down. “As you all know, firestorms don’t scare me, and the bigger they are, the more I’m convinced that I have to react in the interest of all citizens, in the interest of our country.”

I don’t think there has been a moment in the last few years where Berlusconi hasn’t been embroiled in a sex scandal. This is one Prime Minister who doesn’t beleive in keeping it in hs pants and he likes them young. But he may have crossed the line with this latest scandal or Italians may have reached sex scandal fatigue with Berlsuconi. We will find out if this one goes to trial.
