Will Smith hit it big over the weekend with "I Am Legend," which has taken in $137 million in just two weeks - but if producers had had their way, the film would have starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.
An insider who once headed a movie company said, "That script was floating around Hollywood for 12 years. Arnold was originally attached to it right after the box office success of 'Terminator 2,' but all of a sudden he decided he wasn't interested and the project was shelved."
Instead, Schwarzenegger went on to star in "Last Action Hero" and "Collateral Damage" before becoming California's governor.

Just when you think she can’t do it again, she does. Britney Spears kicked off her holiday weekend with a bizarre trip around the greater L.A. area that included profanity-laced tirades, hours of aimless driving, scuffles with paparazzi, a stop at a hotel and several trips to gas station bathrooms.
Her escapades began just after midnight Saturday, Dec. 22, when Spears, driving her Mercedes with the headlights off and the trunk open, made a trip to Rite-Aid. “I have to buy stuff for my babies,” Spears told photographers, reports People. After testing and not buying several deodorant sprays, the mag reports that she bought Lucky Charms cereal, Purex laundry detergent, chocolate chip cookies, and a 32-inch plush horse. (Is this what babies want these days? Just asking.)
The following night, Dec. 23, in the same turquoise top (sans bra) and jeans as the previous day, Britney left her home and drove to a gas station where she used the restroom and witnesses overheard her unleashing a profanity-filled tirade at a friend over her cell phone, according to OK! magazine. Spears visited two more gas-station restrooms during the next hour, and drove aimlessly around L.A. blowing through one red light after another, according to the mag.
Later that same day, Spears invited a photographer who she’s called “cute” to the Peninsula Hotel, where they stayed until Britney (and the photographer) left. Spears then returned to her house to await the arrival of her sons.
If this is Britney’s way of taking the spotlight off her impregnated 16-year-old sister, she’s doing a fine job.
