Maria Shriver made a surprise appearance Tuesday night at the taping of the penultimate episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, less than 24 hours after her husband Arnold Schwarzenegger publicly admitted that he had fathered a child with a member of their household staff over a decade ago. (Shriver and Schwarzenegger announced their separation last week.)
After appearances by Will Smith, Jerry Seinfeld, and Stevie Wonder, Shriver stepped on stage with Gayle King, Oprah’s best friend, at Chicago’s United Center in front of some 20,000 audience members. To loud cheering, Shriver told the retiring talk show host, ”You’ve given me love, wisdom, and the truth,” as Oprah held Shriver’s hand. Then Shriver introduced Tyler Perry for the next segment of the show, and left the stage. (Reporting by Meghan Murphy-Gill.)

Ummmm … eww.
Gayle was jealous and was giving Maria the stink eye all night.
Ew Tyler Perry…way to buzz kill an event.
GET RID OF THAT SKUM BAG…ONCE A SKUM BAG ALWAYS A SKUM BAG, WONDER HOW MANY KIDS HE HAS OUT OF WEDLOCK.
Not sure why this would be a surprise. Oprah has said on various occasions that Maria is her second best friend after Gayle (though Maria and Gayle are not close, so it’s not like they’re three besties together).
Way to go Arnie, “the Sperminator”. Looking forward to Terminator 5.
Please just end this Oprah cascade.
P.S. It’s Game 2 tonight, you’ve delayed it long enough, please vacate the premises of the United Center. Goodbye.
you gotta admit it – Great PR move from her team.
Maria and her children are in my prayers. I have always admired her because she is genuine. I was especially touched by her tribute to Tim Russert, her expression of heartfelt pain when he passed and her willingness to show how very human and vulnerable she can be. She is a lovely woman and if I could give her back all of her losses through the years I would. I think of you my dear.
He makes Tiger Woods look like Pope John Paul.haha
I said on a previous post that Maria should heal and after that forgive Arnold but I just saw the pictures of the love child: he looks just like Arnold ! I don’t know how those rich people’s mansions are built but I guess Maria has met the child more than a couple of times. Didn’t she see the uncanny resemblance? Oh well, like they say, there’s no worst blind…
just in time
Oprah has earned all the accolades she is getting and more. As for Maria, leave Arnold and don’t look back you have to teach your children that they don’t have to be around people that betray you for over 10 years and treat you like dirt. Forgive him for you but don’t ever go back. Move on.
Don’t worry Maria. Oprah will fix things for you. She makes everyone happy. That’s why she’s here among the little people.
