Shalani was also nominated in Yahoo! OMG! Awards 2011 Favorite Female TV Host alongside Toni Gonzaga, Alodia Gosiengfiao and Pia Guanio. Winner in the said category was selected based on popular votes and unfortunately, Shalani got the least number of votes. Toni won the award.

Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered child with household staff member: Los Angeles Times

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has admitted that he fathered a child with his former household staff member, Los Angeles Times has reported Tuesday.

According to the Los Angeles Times' report, Arnold Schwarzenegger's admission that he fathered a child with his family's household staff member has caused his separation with Maria Shriver, his wife for 25 long years.

The said household staff member, who worked for Schwarzenegger family for 20 years, has already retired in January and it was only after she left that Arnold Schwarzenegger had the courage to tell his wife about fathering a child with his former employee.

The identities of Arnold Schwarzenegger's household staff member and her child who was born more than 10 years ago have not been revealed in the report to protect their privacy.

Of course, Maria Shriver found it hard to accept Schwarzenegger's admission that she decided to part ways with the former California Governor.

Here's Arnold Schwarzenegger's statement, courtesy of the Los Angeles Times:

"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago. I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.

"I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time. While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not."

Los Angeles Times also has the statement of Maria Shriver with regard to Arnold Schwarzenegger's paternity admission:

"This is a painful and heartbreaking time. As a mother my concern is for the children. I ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal. I will have no further comment."

Arnold Schwarzenegger, now 63 years old and was a box-office movie star before he became a Governor of California, is planning to make a grand comeback in the movies.

Arnold and Maria have 4 children and it's only last week when they made public their decision to go separate ways.
