Arnold Schwarzenegger Will Be Back and 5 Other Stories You'll Be Talking About Today
Also in this Tuesday edition of The Broadsheet: Ricky Gervais speaks!... Charlie Sheen allegedly e-mails escorts from an AOL account... Sandra Bullock's baby has an app for that... and more ahead.
· He wasn't kidding about that back thing. In a recent interview with Austria paper Krone, former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed that he's hoping to return to acting. And not just "cheap cameos in The Expendables" acting either! From the translation: "Currently I'm reading three scripts. One topic/script, which I considered a long time ago before governor, is delighting me particularly. In it I would play an older soldier, who gets the order at the ending of the war to kill a bunch of kids. But he doesn't do it and get them to safety at the risk of his life and it has all kind of adventure. This script is based on a true story!" That script is apparently With Wings as Eagles, a Randall Wallace film about World War II that would see Arnold star as a Nazi soldier. Hey, why not? It's Tuesday. [/Film]
· So, Ricky Gervais, what do you have to say about your Golden Globes performance? "Everyone took it well and the atmosphere backstage and at the after show was great," the host said in a statement. "I did every single introduction I was meant to, there just happened to be a long gap. This is because I was allowed to choose who I would introduce in advance. I obviously chose presenters who I had the best jokes for. (And who I knew had a good sense of humor)." Can the faux-outrage from thin-skinned celebrities and silly bloggers finally be over? Good.

· The Los Angeles Times asks: "Is Black Swan moviedom's most unlikely hit ever?" Considering it's basically a flashy horror movie and being marketed as such, probably not? I'm just guessing. [LAT/24 Frames]
· This needs to be discussed. According to TMZ, Charlie Sheen recently e-mailed a Las Vegas escort from his own personal AOL account. "Ginger, U are fabulous!" the e-mail begins. "I'm an A-list actor that you mite like to meet. Ure fone is dead and out of service." Lessons learned here: Like your mother, Charlie Sheen allegedly has an AOL account, and apparently he writes like a 14-year-old boy. Or this is just a fake e-mail. Either way, you've got mail? [TMZ]
· Matt Groening, Jason Reitman and America Ferrera have been announced as 2011 Sundance jury members. [Deadline]
· Here's some big news: Sandra Bullock's baby has an iPad. And you don't! "The beauty with modern technology is that you have Skype and iChat and things like that. Every five minutes my phone goes off with pictures, documentation," Bullock told Al Roker on the red carpet at the Golden Globes on Sunday. "[Louis has] got the iPad and the iPhone and the computer with iChat." Sandra is also not dating Ryan Reynolds, not that you care. [Huffington Post]
