Universal Studios Theme Park in Singapore is celebrating its grand opening festivities this weekend, and Arnold Schwarzenegger was scheduled to make an appearance. (Un)fortunately, the Terminator has been terminated — his invitation has been revoked!

Operators at the park didn’t think the former governor of California, who just revealed he fathered a 13-year-old love child with his housekeeper/mistress, Mildred Patricia Baena, was the best name they could use to promote their family-friendly venue

Has the theme park in Singapore chosen someone to replace Arnold?

No word yet on if there is an official stand-in for Schwarzenegger, although a source tells E! News that X Factor judge Paula Abdul has agreed to attend the opening along with a slew of other American stars.

“With all the complications surrounding him, they decided to dump him,” said a source familiar with the negotiations that would have brought Arnold to the park’s opening festivities.

Universal Studios Theme Park higher-ups told the actor not to come two days ago, on Wednesday, before he announced he would be taking a break from that planned return to acting.

Organizers for the bash had announced that Schwarzenegger and Jet Li had been scheduled to appear together at the opening, set for May 28 at the park, which features 21 rides, live shows, and the word’s tallest dueling roller coaster.

Paula Abdul runs some errands after having lunch on Thursday afternoon. Despite reports that the 48-year-old singer’s show Live To Dance had been canceled, the former American Idol judge seemed chipper as always.

Paula Abdul is coming back to TV to judge on CBS’s Got To Dance! It has been a year since her departure from American Idol and I don’t know about you, but I have missed her. American Idol is just not the same without Paula and her craziness. So I am thrilled to here she is coming back to TV.

It had been rumored that Paula would join Simon Cowell on his upcoming show The X-Factor, but I guess she had other plans in mind. This show is going to feature all styles of dance and that is right where Paula shines. I can’t wait to tune in.

In a shocking new interview, Paula Abdul reveals that her reliance on painkillers got so bad she could have died.

As a dancer, Abdul, 46, says she turned to a combination of painkillers — including regular shots of lidocaine — and Chinese medicine to get her through her grueling routines.

“I couldn’t cancel my tour. I didn’t want anyone to count me out,” she says in June’s Ladies’ Home Journal. “I tried to keep everything hush-hush.”

Adds Abdul, “I’m an old school professional. Never let them see you sweat.”

But that became increasingly difficult for Abdul, who had suffered debilitating pain caused by an unusual series of accidents (including a cheerleading mishap at 17 that injured a disc in her neck).

By 2005, she was diagnosed with “reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome,” a chronic neurological disorder that causes severe pain. It resulted in teeth-chattering and shingles-like lesions.

Abdul says she wore a patch that delivered a pain medication about 80 times more potent than morphine and took a nerve medication to relieve her symptoms.

Sometimes, she adds, she also took a muscle relaxer.

But the pain got so bad it that it often left her sleepless and caused her to “get weird,” she says. (more…)
