News broke on Wednesday that Nick Stahl, the actor who played John Connor in “Terminator 3,” has gone missing.

Unfortunately, Stahl isn’t the first "Terminator" star to find himself in a compromising situation. From Arnold Schwarzenegger’s baby mama drama to Eddie Furlong’s legal woes, it seems like James Cameron may be the only person who came out of the Terminator franchise un-scathed. Or did he?

Is there a curse for all the men who have played John Connor? Or is the whole “Terminator” franchise just bad news?

Eddie Furlong: Furlong played John Connor in "Terminator 2" and is your typical garden-variety celebrity sh-t show (DUI’s, heroine addiction, restraining orders
Even celebrities cheat on each other. I know, I know, I thought famous people were like super humans and incapable of cheating ever-Just kidding, everyone knows a celebrity loves an extra marital affair!

Even the most famous men are cheaters! From Brad Pitt to Hugh Grant to Tiger Woods, famous men also cheat.

Peter Facinelli: Twilight star Peter Facinelli is the latest famous man to have reportedly cheated on his wife Jennie Garth. He hooked up with a 20-year-old Canadian woman while filming “Twilight.” She was probably a Twilight fan too, thereby making her a weirdo. Gross.

What is slightly surprising, however, is his hospital roommate—Sylvester Stallone. What are the odds?

Arnold posted a photo of himself shirtless in a hospital bed nursing his shoulder. Next to him is the legendary ‘Rocky’ star.

Couple sips of eggnog and you don't even remember that your husband fathered your maid's child.

And Arnold Schwarzenegger is teaching Ashton Kutcher how to be faithful.

Lindsay Lohan obviously needs help with, you know, not being a complete drunken mess all the time. And I'm glad she's getting help, I really am. But Courtney Love? I'm not sure she's the best mentor.

Just because you play a President in a movie, does not make you one. But because this is Hollywood and weirder things have happened, and by that I mean Arnold Schwarzenegger becoming Governor, anything can happen.

Because George Clooney plays the president in the movie, “The Ides of March” his dad thinks he would make a great actual president.

Now this isn’t your typical dad who is proud of his son, George’s dad Nick Clooney ran for a seat in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District in 2004.

Speaking on the “John Muray Show” in Ireland’s RTE Radio One, Nick said, “I don’t know whether [George] will even run for president.”

So many questionable things are happening in our world. 1) The town of Thal in Austria has a museum dedicated to Arnold Schwarzenegger's life 2) Arnold commissioned the creation of a larger-than-life bronze statue of himself and 3) I’m sorry, Arnold commissioned 7, SEVEN larger-than-life bronze statues of himself.

Tim Parks, the owner of TW Bronze, a company that makes things out of bronze, has stated that they are working on several over-sized bronze statues of Arnold in his body building prime.

The 8-foot, 580-pound monsters cost around $100,000 each and depict Schwarzenegger “flexing in a classic body-builder pose that flaunts his football-sized biceps, chiseled abs and granite quads...

Well, he's certainly got plenty of material. He was governor for eight years, he's paid his dues in the entertainment industry, and he made a career out of bodybuilding. Oh right, and he had sex with his maid, impregnated her and then hid it from his wife for thirteen years.

Simon and Schuster will be publishing Arnold Schwarzenegger's memoir, a book tentatively titled: Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story. If we're gonna go with cheesy movie titles, why not choose something even more appropriate? Like Predator. Or True Lies.

Arnold's spokesman, Adam Mendelsohn, told PEOPLE:

"He has been keeping notes and working on the book for over a year. He didn't want to write his autobiography while he was governor."
