"There will be lots of information coming people's way," Seymour said (at the premiere of her new film, Love Marriage Wedding) on May 17. "I heard about two more [out of wedlock kids] somebody else knows about. I even met someone who knows him well."
On Friday, the red-faced actress backtracked, saying her remarks were nothing more than third-party gossip. "I'm so beyond sorry and appalled that I found myself even talking on the subject at all," Seymour said while appearing on the TV chat-show The View.
"I don't know anything about any love children, anything that I said was stupidly listening to some stuff in the media that day, everyone was talking -- I don't even know where I heard it.
"I don't know anything about anything," Seymour awkwardly explained.
"Unfortunately, the way it all got put together is beyond embarrassing, and I just feel so, so badly for Maria and the children ... I do not want to in any way exacerbate the pain that family's going through."
Maybe too late for that. Last Friday night celebrity gossip website TMZ reported that Shriver is "all systems go" ready to file for divorce as soon as next week. The couple, who were married for 25 years and share an estimated $400m (€280m) fortune, did have a prenup but legal analysts suspect, given the media attention on Arnold's philandering, it will be contested by Shriver's team.
Shriver rumours after Oprah meal
Shriver didn't spend her entire week with the team of lawyers and investigators she has employed to fight Schwarzenegger in divorce court.
Last Thursday, she was photographed enjoying a long lunch at the trendy Santa Monica waterside boite the Ivy with Bono, which naturally made the gossip columns. But Shriver's dinner date last Tuesday night caused far more chatter.
She was one of 17 other guests invited to tuck into a four-course dinner in the backroom of Chicago's Spiaggia restaurant to celebrate the taping of her friend Oprah's last show.
The dinner, Shriver's second with the talk show hostess in as many weeks, fuelled increasing speculation that the former TV news reporter is considering a return to work as part of Oprah's new TV network, OWN.
The cable station, which launched in January to lukewarm numbers, is expected to get a boost with Oprah now full-time at the helm.
She will oversee projects such as The O'Neals (featuring Tatum and Ryan in an exploration of their relationship) and Finding Sarah, (a 'docu-series' following the Duchess of York's "emotional struggle to rebuild her life") both of which are set to debut next month.
Bono has the Edge over media
BONO, who was in LA with the Edge to perform the Spiderman number Rise Above, on American Idol last week, showed he's no pushover when it comes to dealing with a hostile press.
Assuring reporters that the revamped Spiderman: The Musical will finally open as planned on June 14, the U2 frontman took the wind out of everyone's sails when he was asked to comment on The New York Times' killer preview review of the show which asked "How can $65m look so cheap?"
"It might have been a little hard for some other people around here to take that, but we don't disagree with The New York Times," Bono said. "That's the sort of stuff we were saying backstage. The last version of Turn Off The Dark had a lot of magic and mysterious stuff. It was beautiful actually, in so many ways. It just, it didn't cohere."
Pouring on the charm, the U2 duo soon had the press pack eating right out of their hands.
Asked about his recent back surgery, Bono remarked: "I've now got Made in Germany tattooed on my ass," but was upstaged by the Edge, who added: "He's also an inch and a half taller."
'Hangover' that won't go away
SOUNDS like Hangover star Zach Galifianakis is still suffering the effects of a recent meeting with January Jones.
In an interview published last week, Galifianakis was told how the Mad Men actress had described him as "the most naturally funny man she's ever met" -- a flattering comment that rubbed Galifianakis up the wrong way.
"That's really funny," he told online magazine ShortList in a tone that was anything but. "Because, if I remember correctly, she and I were very rude to each other."
He continued: "I was at a party -- I'd never met her -- and she was like, 'Come sit down'. So I sit at her table and talk for 10 minutes, and she goes, 'I think it's time for you to leave now.' So I say, 'January, you are an actress in a show and everybody's going to forget about you in a few years, so f***ing be nice,' and I got up and left ... And she thinks that's funny?"
Probably not any more.
