He'll Be Back... Without the accent...
Arnold Schwarzenegger says fans can continue impersonating him with a thick Austrian accent, even though he doesn't actually speak that way.
The veteran action movie star says he's been in the United States long enough now that he can actually speak without his accent, and without butchering the English language. But he continues to speak with the accent because it's become his trademark and fans love it. He says, "It’s now become such a big part of me, the accent, that people really enjoy it." He adds, "It proves that perception has changed. In the 1970s, people were frightened of the German accent. People said it gave them goosebumps. Now I have the most imitated accent. It’s a trademark."
Arnold says if he had to speak without the accent, like for a movie role, he could. But when people see him, they want to hear the accent.

Bristol Palin's new bundle was a planned pregnancy
Bristol Palin, who last week posted a somber note announcing that she has disappointed her family and close friends by getting pregnant again out of wedlock, now says her pregnancy "was actually planned."
In a new blog entry posted yesterday, Bristol sounded much less regretful and a lot more excited about becoming a mom for the second time. She wrote, "Everyone knows I wanted to have a bigger family. Believing I was heading that way, I got ahead of myself. Things didn’t go as planned, but life keeps going.” She adds, "But I do not regret this baby. This baby is not a disappointment, and I cannot wait to be a mom times two. Tripp is going to make the best big brother."
Although she hasn't revealed who the father is, there is wide speculation that it is Dakota Meyer -- her former fiance whom she broke up with last month just days before the wedding.

Kate/Oliver Hudson: Dad disowns both
Bill Hudson has disowned his two children with Goldie Hawn following their brutal Father's Day messages.
"I no longer recognize Oliver and Kate as my own," Bill tells The Daily Mail. "I say to them now, 'I set you free.' I had five birth children, but I now consider myself a father of three."
On Father's day, Oliver Hudson, an actor who has appeared on Nashville, posted an old photo of himself and Kate with their father, adding the caption, "Happy Abandonment Day....@katehudson." Kate then posted a Father's Day message to Kurt Russell, Goldie's longtime partner, and referred to him as "Pa."
Bill added, "I would ask them to stop using the Hudson name. They are no longer a part of my life. Oliver’s Instagram post was a malicious, vicious, premeditated attack. He is dead to me now. As is Kate. I am mourning their loss even though they are still walking this earth."
He blames Goldie for the bad blood. He said, "Goldie wanted to create this myth of a perfect family with Kurt and she wanted me out. It's time for the truth to come out."
