Gosh this kind of thing makes me laugh.  The appetite is so insatiable (apparently) for celebrity news that NO ONE takes the time to do any research whatsoever before publishing something.  And the consequence of this is that the publisher runs the risk of looking absolutely ridiculous if they are wrong.  Here's the latest example.  For the last two weeks, not a day goes by that I haven't read about a "secret movie project Arnold Schwarzenegger has been working on in which he portrays a Greek God."

And the reality is Arnold has filmed a Super Bowl commercial for BMW touting their new electric car line.  Above is just the tease where he's acknowledged as "Zeus:  The God of Lightening."  Get it?  Electricity...lightening?  Anyway, we'll get the full ad a week from Sunday (if it doesn't leak earlier).
