Hello Magazine snagged the first shot of Arnold Schwarzenegger's secret son, Joseph, 13, and an exclusive interview his former housekeeper/mistress, Mildred Baena. It is, of course, most sensational. And here's our favorite part of the interview: "When his grandmother sat him down one year ago to explain that Arnold Schwarzenegger was his father, he exclaimed: 'Cool!'" more ›

High society dilettante and late-night SFist commenter Peter Getty, according to Gawker, is going through a divorce -- a nasty one. His wife, Jacqueline Getty, a Coppola, accuses Getty "threatening to kill her at least once, of breaking her arm by striking it, and of choking her." (Which: Oh my God, dude!) In return for his alleged acts of domestic violence, Jacqueline is asking for "$314,000 per month to support her lifestyle and an extra $200,000 per month on top of that." more ›

Oh, we see now. It was a mistake -- a horrible, frightening, skull-shatteringly awful mistake. Whew. more ›

Crazy-faced actor Mickey Rourke has accused Marin resident and thespian of note Sean Penn of being a big ol' homophobe. According to a text (allegedly) sent by Rouke to a studio executive, plastic man says, "'Look seans an old friend of mine and i didnt buy his performance [in Milk] at all--thought he did an average pretend acting like he was gay besides hes one of the most homophobic people i kno (sic).'" more ›

Exemplary fag hag to many lucky homosexuals, Google VP multi-millionaire and Four Seasons resident Marissa Mayer is currently engaged. At least, so says the rumor mill. According to Valleywag, she's getting hitched to somebody named Zack Bogue, who "buys and manages apartments for rich people." May they be fruitful and multiple. more ›

Contrary to what court rulings say about the halting of the light brown apple moth spray, Modern Times Bookstore's recent window dressing claims otherwise. According to our pals over at Curbed, "[T]his posted propaganda [says the] CDFA will still continue to spray outside of the city— within 10 miles." SO, if you believe what a bookstore window is telling you, head for the hills. The deadly mist might make a return. (Curbed) more ›

From the far-superior-to-SFist blog Fog City Journal, Elaine Santore tweets, "Spotted: Tony Hall Hall filing papers for D7 at City Hall." Hmmm. Interesting, indeed. (elainesantore/Twitter) more ›

Well, this is some depressing news. Marin's very own Hollywood transplant power couple, Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn, are getting a d-i-v-o-r-c-e. At least according to People Magazine they are. more ›

Each Tuesday we will feature new music that should (or whatever) be on your radar. Standouts: 1. Eric Hutchinson - Sounds Like This: A couple of weeks ago, our previous editor at Phillyist texted us from Hutchinson's concert saying, "Have you heard of Eric Hutchinson? You'll love him." We promptly checked out his Myspace page and instantly downloaded his impressive debut, "Sounds Like This." He became an overnight sensation when bitchy blog queen, Perez Hilton,... more ›

We this picture of *NSYNC's out memoirist Lance Bass at a Halloween party at the Clift Hotel - love love love love love!!! (Are we the only people mildly interested in reading his new book, "Out of Sync," to see if he names anyone else in the pop world who might be gay?). Thanks to Drew Altizer for sending it along! more ›

Oh man, it's moments like these that we miss working in an office. Almost. more ›

It seems CODEPINK, a female-based grassroots pro-peace (and judging by the photographs, anti-conditioner) movement, recently got all up in Condoleezza Rice's face at Capitol Hill. This protester, sporting bloody hands, got a little too close to Condi, shouting "war criminal!" at her before she was pushed away and snapped up by the police. Four other CODEPINK protesters were arrested. more ›

We were at work, surfing the Web when we noticed that Wonkette just posted some crazy story that Sean Penn is offering Matt Gonzalez $5 million dollars to run against the Gavster. Apparently, Sean would give Matt the money if Matty G. switched to the Democratic Party. What, Sean doesn't think a naked guy and a man named Grasshopper are good enough candidates? more ›

Back in August, we told you about how some Safeway employees were mysteriously and suddenly transferred to different stores as management was becoming more demanding about checkers asking for donations. more ›

We feel way dirty for posting this, but maybe someone cares. According to what is supposedly actually Paris Hilton's blog via some youth-oriented contraption called "MySpace," the omnipresent socialite is going to be at Macy's Union Square tomorrow at 3 p.m. to launch her clothing line. more ›

Hey, for those of you who like the grapefruit-scented lotion and the copious free samples they hand out, the beloved bath and body store Kiehl's just opened a new store in the Westfield Mall. And Drew Altizer, our favoritest photographer of the stars, was there to see throaty British songbird Joss Stone (the one, the one who doesn't attack her spouse) opening up the joint. more ›

A Safeway insider has tipped us off to a serious and highly volatile issue that has transpired in recent days among Safeway employees, their union, and Safeway management. Word on the street is that Safeway is encouraging checkers to ask customers to donate to one of four charities. OK, that's nothing unusual. We're all used to this type of annoyance. However, Safeway employees have checked with their union and confirmed that they are not, in fact, required to ask customers to donate. OK, this sounds normal to us, too. However, Safeway management caught wind of their employees consulting the union and have retaliated against employees who refuse to ask customers for donations. Said employees have been transferred to less than desirable Safeway locations with less than desirable hours. Employees with reasonable stature and seniority have been relocated with no warning and not even a chance to say goodbye to former coworkers or loyal customers. more ›

Made famous to us plebeians not by the names littering the social registry and its many sad suck-ups (an aside: ahem, our rent is due soon, bitches), but by the much-missed former SF Weekly's "Dog Bites" columnist Laurel Wellman, Nob Hill Gazette just landed another beloved local writer, former Chronicle society scribe Catherine Bigelow. more ›

Rumors have been circulating, but we just got word that, yes, Mayor Gavin Newsom ended his partnership with actress and SFist's favorite commenter, Jennifer Siebel, a little over two weeks ago. Sob. Why? We're not sure. Do we still believe in true love? Not at all. Do we secretly want Newsom to collaborate with Siebel's pal, Daphne Zuniga, thus the far-off chance of having a Melrose Place alum as SF's first lady? Oh God,... more ›
