TOM SANDOVAL IS GOING FROM CHEATER TO ACTOR

Former Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval became the man reality fans love to hate after he was caught cheating on his girlfriend, Ariana Madix. The scandal eventually torpedoed his LA bar and restaurant, Schwartz & Sandy’s, but boosted Ariana’s career with gigs hosting TV shows, a twirl on Dancing With The Stars and movie offers. Now that Tom and the rest of the original cast got booted from the popular reality show, he’s hoping to follow in Ariana’s footsteps – cash in on his notoriety and become an actor. My source says Tom has been taking private acting classes and has been auditioning for roles, mostly being typecast as a sexy bad boy. He hasn’t landed anything yet, but is also going out for TV commercials and print advertisements since he’s worried about his finances without that BRAVO paycheck coming in.

JOSEPH BAENA: THIS IS A REALTOR?

Is Joseph Baena destined to be the most successful of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s kids? Joe SAYS he’s a real estate agent, but have you ever seen one who looks like THIS? A hairless mountain of muscles? You have to give him credit- he’s Arnold’s son with the family housekeeper Mildred Baena– and he caused Maria Shriver to divorce Arnold after 25 years of marriage. A rocky start, but Arnold made sure Joe, 25, got a good education at Pepperdine University AND in the gym. He’s the only one of Arnold’s kids interested in bodybuilding, so they get along well. Joe aspires to body building and acting like his father and finances his efforts by selling real estate.

CHET HANKS: “I’M THE BLACK SHEEP OF THE FAMILY”

Musician/actor Chet Hanks is the first to admit that his father Tom Hanks’ clean cut image makes him look like a bad boy. Chet, 30, started off rapping at Northwestern University where he was actually in a fraternity. Besides music, he’s been getting steady work as an actor, with recurring roles on Empire and Shameless. He struggled with substance abuse and in 2015 he broke down and went to rehab for cocaine addiction. He’s had his share of girlfriend problems- involving restraining orders, lawsuits etc, so he’s definitely no Tom Hanks. But he’s been getting acting work – NCIS: New Orleans, and has a role in Tom’s film Greyhound. Above he showed up at Doja Cat’s album release party in Hollywood.

PETE DAVIDSON WILL BE READY FOR STARDOM IF IT HAPPENS

After spending ALL THOSE HOURS in tattoo parlors (not to mention the money) SNL comic Pete Davidson has been diligently getting his tattoos lasered off one by one. Ouch. He started with the most visible ones on his hands, arms, and neck. This is a big step for a guy who was ALL about tattoos, but Davidson has a good reason for putting up with the pain and giving up some of his hipster image. He wants to be a movie star! Pete says he never imagined he could become an actor, but he’s already appeared in two films – The King of Staten Island and The Suicide Squad and he LOVED it. But he had to arrive hours earlier than other actors to have his distracting tattoos covered up. THAT he didn’t like- so he decided to start the process of removing most of his 100-plus tattoos, just in case he has a bright future in Hollywood.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER AND HIS “OTHER” SON

Interesting how Arnold Schwarzenegger works out with his kids. Yesterday he had a bike ride with his son Patrick and today he rode with his son Joseph Baena. Joseph is Arnold’s lovechild with his housekeeper Mildred Baena and the cause of his split with Maria Shriver. Ironically, Joseph is the son who most resembles his father and wants to follow in his footsteps as a bodybuilder and actor, although he does have a business degree from Pepperdine Univ. Baena would love to have a relationship with Arnold’s other kids, but so far, no luck.
