Arnold Schwarzenegger's legal team is asking a judge to bulk up court security for an upcoming hearing ... and they say it's all because of what his opposing counsel posted on social media.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Attorney Gary Dordick -- who represents the woman whose car Arnold collided with in 2022 -- published an Instagram post about the case online, and he dressed up as Arnold's iconic "Terminator" character.
Wearing leather, donning shades and holding a gun, Dordick wrote in the post ... "I'll be back" ... referencing an upcoming October court hearing.
The debate over whether robots will eventually take over humanity was put to the test over the weekend ... with an influencer going toe-to-toe with a Terminator-like robot during a boxing match ... it's all on video, and it's not looking good for us.
Frankie LaPenna got his butt whooped in the ring by the remote-controlled humanoid robot ... as shocked fans looked on from inside the San Francisco fight venue in what's being billed as the first human versus robot fight.
Right before the fight started, a guy standing behind Frankie in the ring said, "I'm scared for you," while sizing up Frankie's 6-foot robotic opponent with glowing red eyes.
Ya gotta see the fight footage ... it's entertaining and frightening at the same time.
'Judgment Day' is coming ... at least according to 'Terminator 2' star Robert Patrick.
We caught up with the legendary 'T2' villain Monday at LAX and got his thoughts on where he stands on current technology and its potential negative effects predicted by the famed film franchise.
For anyone who hasn't seen James Cameron's classic sci-fi action flick "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" -- Judgment Day is when the A.I. system known as Skynet becomes self-aware and launches a nuclear war against humanity. As of now, this is all fictional ...
Cleveland Browns superstar Myles Garrett's Halloween costume got the ultimate compliment on Sunday ... with none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger praising his Terminator outfit!!
The All-Pro defensive end was unrecognizable prior to the Orange and Brown's divisional matchup with the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday ... wearing an elaborate mask, leather jacket and sunglasses as he made his way to the locker room.
The team's social media accounts shared footage of the epic entrance ... and it made its way to the Terminator himself, who was clearly thrilled with the end result.
Earl Boen, best known for his reoccurring role in the 'Terminator' franchise, has died.
A family member tells TMZ the veteran actor passed away Thursday in Hawaii, but wouldn't disclose a cause or the specifics of his death.
Earl is best remembered for his role as Dr. Peter Silberman the 'Terminator' series. However, he racked up other film credits in the '80s such as ... "Battle Beyond the Stars," "The Man with Two Brains" and "Alien Nation."
He also appeared in "Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult" in 1994, and "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" in 2000.
Earl is survived by his wife, Cathy. His first wife, Carole, passed away in 2001.
Michael Biehn, who starred in "The Terminator" and "Aliens" is getting divorced ... with a big twist.
Michael's wife, Gina Biehn, filed for divorce in L..A. County Superior Court. It's a long trek for her -- because she lives in England. In fact, according to court docs, obtained by TMZ, she's been separated from Michael since 2007.
We thought Michael was actually married to another woman -- Jennifer Biehn. Turns out, they've been living together for years and although she legally changed her name they're not hitched.
Michael and Gina have an 11-year-old son and she wants full legal and physical custody. She also wants child support.
We're told it was a very bad break up back on '07 and they actually got back together several times but it didn't work out. We're also told Michael has been sending Gina regular financial support.
BTW ... Jennifer is a celeb of sorts. She just did a spread for German Penthouse.
Here's a shocker -- the DNA test results that allegedly prove 31-year-old Brandon Howard is Michael Jackson's son are BOGUS ... in fact, so bogus ... the logo from the so-called DNA testing lab was ripped from "Terminator Salvation."
As we reported, FilmOn.com's Alki David put on a spectacle Thursday -- claiming he had DNA results proving singer B Howard was the biological son of the King of Pop. He then produced the results showing a "99.99999%" probability that MJ was Brandon's dad.
TMZ obtained a photo of the DNA doc -- allegedly from a testing facility in Ireland called "DNA Lab." We searched high and low but could find no such generic DNA lab in Ireland.
Skeptical, we investigated -- a simple Google image search of "DNA results" turns up a bunch of sample docs with the same exact easily-stealable format as the one we got.
But the coup de grace -- we then Google image searched "DNA logo" and the first result ... literally ... was the same DNA pic used in the "DNA Lab" logo.
And that's not even the best part -- a reverse image search of the logo shows a bunch of results for "Terminator Salvation." A little more digging revealed the logo was used on PROMOTIONAL T-SHIRTS for the movie.
"Terminator 2" star Edward Furlong pled no contest to domestic violence -- but got 6 other charges dismissed in a plea deal for assaulting his ex-girlfriend.
Furlong was arrested back in May when he attacked his ex-gf in her West Hollywood apartment -- violating a protective order she had against him.
Furlong was hit with 7 charges for the incident -- including domestic violence, vandalism (for destroying her laptop) and dissuading a witness by force.
In his plea deal ... Furlong got 5 years probation, 90 days in a drug treatment program, and a year of domestic violence counseling.
He was also given credit for 61 days served ... so he won't have to do any further jail time.
Nick Stahl is back in jail after getting busted for drugs early this morning ... TMZ has learned.
LAPD tells us the "Terminator 3" star was arrested around 5 AM when police found him in a Hollywood motel with three other people ... they were all allegedly using meth.
Stahl was taken into custody -- along with the other individuals.
We're told police actually went to the motel to conduct a parole compliance check on one of the people Stahl was hanging with this morning.
Wrong place, wrong time for Stahl ... who's battled drug addiction for years.
Just yesterday, Nick told us he was happy he was placed on a 5150 hold earlier this month -- because it helped straighten him out.
"Terminator 3" star Nick Stahl tells TMZ ... he's glad he was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold earlier this month after being taken to an L.A. hospital because he needed the help.
The 33-year-old actor was hanging out in L.A. when he explained why he needed to be hospitalized on June 17.
When asked how he felt about being placed on an involuntary hold -- Stahl replied, "It was helpful."
Stahl -- who's struggled with substance abuse in the past -- tells us he's picked up several hobbies to keep himself on the straight and narrow ... and wants to focus on keeping his mind strong as well as his body.
"Terminator 2" star Edward Furlong has just been charged with assaulting his ex-girlfriend and threatening her if she called the police ... TMZ has learned.
We broke the story ... 35-year-old Furlong was arrested inside his ex's West Hollywood home back in May on suspicion of violating a protective order she had obtained against him.
According to law enforcement, Furlong is accused of assaulting his ex during the incident, which is where the assault charge stems from.
In addition, Furlong has been charged with dissuading a witness by force or threat, as well as vandalism -- for allegedly damaging her laptop and photo equipment during the dispute. All the charges are felonies.
Furlong has also been charged with disobeying a domestic restraining order ... a misdemeanor.
If convicted, Furlong faces up to 4 years in state prison. He's due back in court July 1.
Sad news for "Terminator 3" star Nick Stahl -- TMZ has learned, the actor was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold last night after being taken to an L.A. hospital.
Sources tell us, Stahl -- who has long struggled with drugs, alcohol, and other personal issues -- was transported to the medical facility around 3:30 AM this morning by a friend ... it's unclear why.
Details about circumstances of the psychiatric hold are also unclear.
It's a huge bummer ... we spoke to Stahl just last month, and he told us he was finally focused on turning his life around.
Christian Bale lived in a home where a human body was buried ... and he had no idea, cops tell TMZ.
We've learned in 2008 while Bale was filming "Terminator: Salvation" in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the body of Michael Snyder lay in the front yard of the home he was renting.
Snyder had been missing for 8 years ... buried at the home the entire time. The body was discovered last week after cops received a tip. Snyder's ex-wife has been arrested and charged with murder.
Bale obviously had no idea the body was in the yard.
Thomas Dekker -- who played John Connor in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" -- just got a deal he couldn't refuse in his DUI case.
Dekker just pled no contest to misdemeanor reckless driving in connection with an accident in which a 17-year-old bicyclist was injured. Dekker was arrested on two counts of felony DUI and placed on $100,000 bail. He was eventually charged with two misdemeanor counts of DUI.
But apparently the case fell apart when prosecutors learned the bicyclist was at fault -- riding without reflectors the wrong way on a freeway on-ramp.
Dekker was placed on two years informal probation and agreed to take a 12-hour alcohol ed class and pay a $300 fine.
Dekker's lawyer, Blair Berk, could not be reached for comment.
Thomas Dekker -- the guy who played John Connor on the "Terminator" TV show -- has been charged with two counts of DUI stemming from his arrest last month.
The L.A. County City Attorney has decided to charge Dekker with 2 misdemeanor counts of DUI after he allegedly boozed up and crashed his car into a 17-year-old who was riding his bike near a Freeway on-ramp.
The victim was treated for minor injuries -- Dekker was hauled to Van Nuys jail, where he eventually bailed out.
TMZ has obtained a 911 call made by Edward Furlong's estranged wife on Sept. 23 -- after the "Terminator" star warned her that he was going to commit suicide.
