ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER : HE’S BACK

Arnold Schwarzenegger took two of his sons (Patrick and Christopher) and his cute girlfriend Heather Milligan to Munich, Germany, for his favorite party every year, Oktoberfest. It’s a huge two week event at Munich fairgrounds, with wild rides, fireworks, and numerous “beer” tents, described as the world’s largest folk festival. Arnold takes his fun seriously so he made sure everyone was dressed right – men dress for this occasion in lederhosen- vintage leather pants to the knee and leather jacket— what peasants used to wear to hunt in the mountains. Women wear dirndl skirts with a puffy blouse (cleavage encouraged) – like bar maids. This year is especially festive due to a two year Corona break.

Arrested Germany HIV Nadja Benaissa No Angels Pop Star

CAN THIS GERMAN POP STAR FIND JUSTICE IN A MAN’S WORLD?

The case of the HIV positive German pop star Nadja Benaissa, 28, who is accused of deliberately exposing three men to the sexually transmitted disease, brings up a lot of questions. Nadja was a runaway teen drug addict before she found success with her music group No Angels. They sold five million records and she kept her disease a secret because she felt it might jeopardize the group. Now one of the three accusers, called “Ralph” that she dated six years ago, “suspects” she gave him HIV. The other two men accusing her of reckless endangerment are not HIV positive. Many questions arise: Why didn’t Ralph use a condom? That was HIS decision. Whether Nadja told him she was disease free is not known. There is no way of proving that Ralph didn’t pick up the HIV virus ELSEWHERE in all those years before and after. Guys who date pop stars ARE prone to risky behavior. Was it deliberate? We doubt that. We also question the probability that Nadja passed on the virus at all. Female to male transmission during sex is extremely rare. Infected men like to SAY they got HIV from a woman because the other alternatives aren’t so glamorous. Hopefully, Nadja, now on trial, will find justice.

Alana Stewart Cancer Farrah Fawcett Germany Health Scare

FARRAH FAWCETT IS STILL FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE

We’re worried about Farrah Fawcett – she just returned from Germany, where she was supposedly being treated for a tumor on her liver. Farrah’s been battling anal cancer since 2006 and has documented the process with the help of her loyal friend Alana Stewart. It’s said she made half a million dollars by allowing Entertainment Tonight cameras to follow her around and another two million dollar deal for Alana’s documentary for NBC. She can obviously afford the world’s best treatment and has been back and forth to Germany several times for chemotherapy. It’s odd that her ex Ryan O’Neal and her son Redmond aren’t around, but Alana is always with her. She looks frail in this recent photo – let’s hope for the best.

Dustin Hoffman Germany Scientology Tom Cruise

IS DUSTIN HOFFMAN STILL SOFT ON SCIENTOLOGY?

Dustin Hoffman took his daughter shopping at A.P.C. in Soho. He must be the shortest one in his family. We’re sure he MEANT well, but Dustin was one of the Hollywood stars who signed an open letter in 1997 to then German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, PROTESTING the treatment of Scientologists in Germany. Fortunately, Chancellor Kohl ignored the Hollywood letter and Germany has gone farther than any other Western European country to RESTRICT the rights of Scientologists. Germans regard Scientology not as a religion but as a profit making enterprise and a cult. In fact, several prominent Germans have compared Tom Cruise to Goebbels the Nazi propaganda minister. We wonder if Dustin still supports Scientology.

Germany Scientology Tom Cruise Valkyrie

GERMANY ISN'T CRAZY ABOUT TOM CRUISE

Tom Cruise is bitterly disappointed because he bent over backwards to charm Germany into tolerating Scientology and it didn’t work. Germany is the first European country to take steps to ban Scientology because they feel it’s “not compatible to their constitution.” At first when Tom attempted to film his latest movie Valkyrie, about a 1944 plot to assassinate Hitler, on location in Germany, they turned him down flat – because of his ties to Scientology which they consider to be a “dangerous cult.” It took Tom and the filmmakers months to persuade Germany into allowing the filming. While Tom was there he did everything in his power to appear normal and change people’s minds about Scientology. But alas, the megawatt smile didn’t work- he had barely returned to the US when Germany’s top security officials ACCELERATED their efforts to ban Scientology. That’s why we love Germany.
