Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger could soon make a comeback to films.

The Governor of California, 63, due to leave office next week, said he had recently met with Terminator director James Cameron and would make an announcement in the near future, reports the Mirror.

On making films, he said: "It depends. Will I still have the patience to sit on the set and do a movie for three months? I don't know."

He also hopes to give speeches, write a book -- he is yet to release an autobiography -- and continue fighting for the planet.

Schwarzenegger would have less trouble being hired by Hollywood than continuing in politics, an industry insider said.

Eva Longoria and her hubby Tony Parker have been sued for negligence in driving.

A driver claimed that Eva went out of control in her BMW and slammed into his Bimmer on Hollywood Boulevard.

The accident happened last week, and in the lawsuit -- just filed in L.A. Superior Court -- Roman Gasparyan claims he was in the median, waiting to make a left turn when Eva ... driving in the opposite direction ... "made a sudden lane change into the median lane" and collided with him.

According to the lawsuit, both Eva and Roman were driving BMW X5s -- his a 2002, hers a 2010. In addition to the SUV damage, he claimed that he suffered mental and physical suffering -- and he's suing for unspecified damages.

Tony was not involved in the accident, but the three-time NBA champ is the registered owner of the BMW, according to Eva's rep.

"There is absolutely no truth to this claim, and any indications to the contrary are completely false and untrue," TMZ.com quoted Longoria's rep as saying.

Matt Damon shocked at being axed from Bourne Legacy

Matt Damon was shocked at being axed from The Bourne Legacy, he has revealed.

 

The Hollywood star has played secret agent Jason Bourne in three films, but sparked rumours of a departure from the franchise when director Paul Greengrass quit and the actor insisted he would not return to the role unless his pal was in charge.

 

Michael Clayton moviemaker Tony Gilroy, who wrote the screenplay for the first three Bourne installments, has since been hired to take over from Greengrass and confirmed earlier this year that Damon will not be a part of the new movie.

 

But Damon was by stunned at the news -- because no one "bothered" to inform him of the plans.

 

"I found out they're making another when somebody saw it on the Internet. Nobody bothered to call me," the Daily Express quoted him as telling Parade magazine. 

 

"I'm not in it, but even so, they'll work Bourne into the title, I guess. Universal just wants to call everything the Bourne something. So I guess they are trying to make another franchise and as they say, ''It isn't over until it's over," he added.

The Bourne Legacy is due for release in 2012.
