Sideshow: Govinator's tell-almost-all memoir
To paraphrase F. Scott Fitzgerald, a genius is someone who can hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time, who can flourish even when in the grips of paradox. Thus, we present the paradoxical title of a new celeb memoir, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story.

It can't be believed yet it's true! Such is the life of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who will release his memoirs next year. Anonymous Source tells People the tome is sadly only a selective, tell-some-but-not-all confession. It takes you to the scene of the Govinator's beatific birth in Thal, Austria, to the sweaty gyms where he pumped iron, to his movie sets, his govinatorial campaign, and his failed marriage to Maria Shriver.
Do Arnold's alleged myriad adulterous sexual adventures or his love child with maid Patty Baena make the cut? You'll have to buy it . . .
Creepy, but true: Justin's Bieber-babia
Justin Bieber
, 17, has posted a seriously odd photo collage on his InstaBieber page (created via the Instagram iPhone app), which shows the teen heartthrob and his alleged gf
Selena Gomez

. "Brangelina 2.0 hahahahahaha," says the caption. Celeb-blog Gawker says Bieber's rep confirms he created and posted the pic.

Watch out, Demi Moore, here's Johnny
In a stirring artistic statement, the proudly portly British comic
Johnny Vegas
, 40, appears nude on Vanity Fair's cover in homage
to
Demi Moore
's 1991 pregnant-'n'-naked Vanity Fair cover. Johnny's rotund naked belly appears most pregnant (with meaning, not bairn).
As in the Annie Leibovitz-shot Demi pic, Johnny extends an arm of modesty over his breasts. And like Demi, he sports gold hoop earrings and a large diamond-ian ring.

"[We] are really good friends," he says. . . . Scarlett Johansson, 26, and Kieran Culkin, 28, who were pals at their high school, the Professional Children's School in Manhattan, are (allegedly) getting hot 'n' heavy, People speculates.

We hang tough - together
Antonio Banderas
, 51, tells AARP The Magazine that he and
Melanie Griffith
have a strong marriage after 15 years, because they don't hide their problems. The most troubling? Melanie's well-publicized substance-abuse issues. (She's been in rehab thrice.)
"We've never hidden it. We've been open about addictions, in the case of Melanie," Banderas says. To lie, he says, is to destroy their kids' trust in them. "The pretending is the worst, because kids are so smart," says Banderas, who has a daughter, Stella, 15, with Melanie, and has helped raise the two kids she has from previous relationships, Alexander, 26, and Dakota, 21.
