It’s ironic that the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger who turned out to be the most like his father is Joseph Baena, the son he had with his housekeeper. Of course, that revelation broke up Arnold’s marriage to Maria Shriver, but he doesn’t hold it against the boy or his mom. According to TMZ, Arnold does have a relationship with the 16 year old and has noticed that husky Joseph has inherited his father’s physique. He might be another Mr Olympia in the making! Arnold started working out at 16, and he’s delighted at the prospect of mentoring his own bodybuilder son, so he’s providing the gym equipment and encouragement to get Joseph started.

Jon Bon Jovi is probably keeping a closer eye on his hunky 17 year old son Jesse James since his world was turned upside down by his daughter Stephanie’s heroin overdose in her college dorm. (She recovered with no charges filed.) Jesse is said to be an exceptional lacrosse player at his prep school. Jon took a walk in Soho with Jesse and the two guys attracted a bit of attention.

The death of Sage Stallone, 36, (probably an accidental drug overdose) is a tragic story but conflicting reports at this time are puzzling, indeed. It’s unclear whether he lived in a house or apartment in Studio City, but he may have been dead for a week before his body was found. TMZ reports that Sage lived a Howard Hughes life and barricaded himself in his bedroom. His room was reportedly filthy – littered with beer and soda cans, cigarette butts, old food and an awful smell. He had a number of bottles full of pills. Yet, he had a housekeeper who was forbidden to enter his room when she cleaned his place. Sage had become a director and producer and had two movie companies, but is said to have run into financial problems recently. A source told the New York Post he wouldn’t ask his father for money. Sage’s lawyer insists that he was in good spirits, working on all kinds of projects, and planning on getting MARRIED! One report said that Sage’s mom sent the housekeeper to check on him and found the body, another source says his girlfriend found him. We don’t know WHAT to believe, but we feel very bad for his family.
