The same day that the world learned that her husband the former Governator had fathered a child with an employee, Maria Shriver hopped over to Chicago to appear on one of Oprah Winfrey's last shows, in blue sequins. The appearance was clearly scheduled long before Shriver knew her husband's philandering was going to be a huge national headline yesterday, and as the AP reports, the topic didn't really come up.
Shriver came on stage at the United Center with Winfrey's best friend, Gayle King. Shriver told Winfrey that the talk show host has "given me love, support, wisdom and most of all the truth." Shriver said she knew she wasn't "alone in receiving those gifts."... Shriver told Winfrey that the talk show host "believed in others so they could believe in themselves."
We imagine Oprah was biting her tongue hard to keep from being like, "Maria, I'm sorry, we need to talk about this love child, girl."
In related news, TMZ has obtained information and photos of the boy Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered out of wedlock. He supposed looks "shockingly like" his father, even though the images are pixilated.
