It was a brief reunion over the weekend for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver as the two came together with their children to celebrate Arnold’s birthday.

The former California governor turned 64 years-old over the weekend and Shriver dined with him in Beverly Hills at Casa Roma. Two of the couple’s sons, Patrick and Christopher joined in the birthday lunch.

Christopher, 13, was just released from the hospital last week after suffering injuries in a surfing accident that landed the teenager in ICU.

Shriver and Schwarzenegger headed out to Barney’s for a little retail therapy afterwards.

Now that Arnold Schwarzenegger is out of the California Governor’s office, it has freed him up to do a lot of other projects, including getting back into films.

One other project the Terminator star has brewing – a memoir.

Schwarzenegger, 64, will title the book Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story and will recount his movie-making heydays, his bodybuilding career and his time in the political arena.

“Truly, Arnold is one of the most fascinating figures of our time, and one of the greatest success stories in the world,” Jonathan Karp, the publisher of Simon & Schuster, said in a statement. “Nobody has a life story even close to his.”

The four-time Mr. Universe has been working on the book since 2010 and is collaborating with publishing heavyweights Simon & Schuster, who also put out his 1977 book The Education of a Bodybuilder.

Schwarzenegger is collaborating with Peter Petre, who also worked with Alan Greenspan and Norman Schwarzkopf biographies.

No word on how much Schwarzenegger is being paid or how much detail he will reveal regarding the scandal of the love-child he fathered with his housekeeper 14 years ago and his subsequent divorce from Maria Shriver.

Her famous parents did a good job keeping her and her siblings out of the public eye while growing up, but once scandal hit, Katherine Schwarzenegger says all that changed.

In May, when the news broke that her mother, Maria Shriver, was splitting with from her father, Arnold Schwarzenegger, after revelations he fathered a child with the family’s housekeeper of 20 years, Mildred “Patty“ Baena, Katherine says the media scrutiny was intense.

“Me and my siblings have never really been in the spotlight growing up,” the 21-year-old told Harper’s Bazaar for the September issue. “My parents always really sheltered us, so when [the separation] started happening, it was like everything came out of nowhere overnight.”

She added, “I would go out to lunch, and literally 20 people would come and scream at me. And I’m like, This is so inappropriate; you’re trying to provoke me to have an attack and say something crazy.

She says she’s very aware of all the rumors, innuendos and press being written about her family but chooses to focus her energies on them “instead of following the gossip.”

Despite all that, Katherine says her real difficulties are trying to find a guy when her last name is Schwarzenegger.

“I thought of changing it because, especially for dating, it’s impossible,” she said. “It’s something I deal with every day, and I am hyperconscious about it.”

“When I got to college, people — much more guys than girls because girls don’t give a crap about bodybuilding — were coming up to me, and it would automatically jump to a conversation about my dad and weight lifting or how to do a proper bicep curl. It’s like, ‘Do you want to date my father, or do you want to date me? Like, I can arrange that for you.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis have both been confirmed to have “significant roles” in the upcoming sequel The Expendables 2.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis have just closed deals to take “substantial” roles in The Expendables 2, alongside Sylvester Stallone. This has been rumored as possible, and it basically answers the hopes of a lot of fans who weren’t satisfied when action icons Schwarzenegger and Willis turned in cameos in the original, and poked fun at the days when they were the world’s top action stars.

The first movie made a lot of money because of the cast, and this movie is sure to do the same. I didn’t even think the first one was very good, but I enjoyed the action and the cast. Needless to say I’ll watch The Expendables 2 for the same reasons. Hopefully it’s better than the first one in the story and performance departments.

The Expendables 2 is rumored to be adding John Travolta, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris to it’s already packed cast.

We expect that surviving members of the original – Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, Jet Li and possibly Bruce Wills – could all return but, according to an interview with the CEO of the “biggest film studio” in the country the film will shoot, Bulgaria, joining the cast are John Travolta, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme.

I’m sure they’ll all agree to do it, these movies are really more about having a ton of action stars together in one movie than they are about having a good story. The second movie will make a lot of money just like the first one did, guaranteed.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is finally ready to commit to making a new film, it’s called The Last Stand. The release date has been set for January of 2013.

Lionsgate is setting a release date of January 18, 2013 forThe Last Stand, the Kim Jee-Woon-directed return vehicle for Arnold Schwarzenegger…

…Schwarzenegger plays a cop who leaves the LAPD in disgrace and takes a job in a sleepy border town. There’s little action until when an escaped drug kingpin heads toward the toonlwn at 200 mph in a specially outfitted car with a hostage and a fierce army of gang member escorts. The cop is the only thing standing in the way of the kingpin making it back across the border to safety.

Sounds like a movie that will suit him well, although it’s no Terminator 5. Hopefully he can settle in and get something shot this year so we can see him on the big screen again before the end of 2012. I wonder how many fans he’s lost over all the drama he’s been involved with recently. I personally don’t care that much about all of it, I’m just glad his political days are over and he’s finally getting back to the big screen. Although his iconic image is quite marred. What do you think?
