It was reported earlier this week that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson may not got for competing in the WrestleMania 30 scheduled for April 2014 in New Orleans. The reason perhaps is that the actor is about to join Arnold Schwarzenegger in the upcoming Terminator 5.
With Arnold Schwarzenegger confirming the involvement of Johnson in this action sequel, according to Examiner, Dwayne Johnson now is under consideration for a role of next sinister machine of T5. Furthermore, one source very close to project's Annapurna Films states that a version of script is specifically being written for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson himself.
Not just that, the T5 may really be a prequel in the story set in very beginning of everything; in time of parents of Sarah Connor, with The Rock (Machine) hunting them down. As per Examiner, Arnold Schwarzenegger might not be playing a machine’s role in the Terminator 5, but a prospectively daring human in a close relationship to Connor family. A theory of this is that the remarkable ability of Schwarzenegger to defend Connor family in 1940s or 1950s with outmoded arsenal by today's standards inspired the machines for developing a terminator in the likeness of Schwarzenegger. This robot was then eventually sent to target Sarah Connor for termination in 1984.
However, it is merely an assumption of this aspect, but Insider states that Terminator 5 very well could be considerably different from the Terminator movies we have seen already.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the action icon, will hop on a zombie bandwagon with an upcoming movie, Maggie. He is going to star and produce the film.

Shakira’s ex-boyfriend claims that he qualifies for a huge payout. In California, a law suit of $100 million has been filed against the small-sized singer Shakira. This suit was filed by Shakira’s ex-boyfriend Antonio de la Rúa who said that he was behind Shakira’s brand and made plethora of contributions in making her career and in famous hits like “Waka Waka” and “Hips do not lie”. But Shakira has been accused of not paying his due share as was promised by her during the period of their relationship which began in 2000.
The couple met with each other in 2000 while de la Rúa started to manage Shakira’s brand and other charitable causes in 2004. He also claimed that he took over many of the positions in board to manage her business and he was promised to get a percentage of profit in result of the partnership. He provided countless services to her business but he was not given the share he was entitled to.
In 2010, the couple decided to call it a day to their longtime relationship but Shakira did asked De la Rúa to continue their business relationship according to the court papers. Shakira mentioned the same on her website on 10th January, 2011 that “We continue to be partners in our business and professional lives.” But their business relationship also terminated in October, 2010 due to the crisis which happened with Live Nation, Shakira’s promoter.
De La Rua filed the suit against Shakira on April 12. Initially he had filed a suit of $250 against the star in New York and this suit was filed in last November. In reply, Shakira filed a motion on 28th March in which she requested the court to dismiss the case because he had no influence on her and she also said that De La Rua had been unsuccessful in showing an actionable claim.
