Maria Shriver will not be back with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Seems Shriver, the niece of former President John F. Kennedy, did not inherit the Kennedy women’s trait of looking the other way.
Numerous media outlets are reporting that Shriver left her marriage to the former California governor and former movie star immediately upon his confession of having fathered a child with a 20 year veteran of the couple’s household staff.

World War II Battle of the Bulge survivors will be together once more when the World War II Battle of the Bulge Monument, which is presently located at Fort Monmouth, is relocated to the Thorne Middle School in Middletown, New Jersey. Principal Thomas Olausen announced that the monument will be installed at the school and a survivors’ reunion and a “rededication” ceremony will take place on Thursday, May 26, 2011.
“We could think of no better location to place this monument then right here on our school grounds”, Mr. Olausen noted. The Thorne Middle School is named for Corporal Horace “Bud” Thorne, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, who was killed in December 1944 during the battle that the monument commemorates. Surviving members of the Battle of the Bulge, from different parts of the country, will be in attendance. Principal Olausen further stated: “It is a wonderful honor for us to be able to host these members of the Greatest Generation and their families as we rededicate this symbol which honors the sacrifices made by so many. It will be a lasting and productive educational tool for our students as well.”
The event will commence at 9 AM in the school auditorium and the Middle School students will read essays especially prepared for the occasion. The Corporal Thorne Award will be presented to an 8th Grade Student who exhibits the attributes of Pride, Respect, Integrity, Determination, and Excellence, which are the standards of Thorne Middle School’s Character Education Program. The school’s Chorus and Band will participate in the event. The monument will then be rededicated in an outdoor ceremony. Following the ceremonies there will be a reception at VFW Post 2179 in Port Monmouth. Special awards will be given to all of the surviving members of this historic battle who are in attendance. All World War II Battle of the Bulge survivors and their families are encouraged to register for the event. The Thorne Middle School is located at 70 Murphy Road in Port Monmouth. VFW Post 2179 is located at 1 Veterans Lane, also in Port Monmouth. For more information and to register for the event please contact (732) 233-9443 or (732) 747 0160.
