Turns out Arnold Schwarzenegger's job as executive editor at Flex and Muscle & Fitness magazines had a lot more perks than we suspected. The L.A. Times reports that American Media Inc, which owns the two magazines and the National Enquirer, paid Arnie's off-and-on lover Gigi Goyette $20,000 to sign a confidentiality agreement about her affair just days after he jumped into the gubernatorial race. At the time, AMI was in the midst of crafting a deal with Arnold to come on board as a consultant -- the same deal that paid him at least $8 million over five years. Guess they just needed a little extra-something to close the sucker.
And all this for just a little "outercourse" between consenting adults:
Leamer writes that Goyette described her contact with Schwarzenegger with the term " 'outercourse' because it's like foreplay." The interaction, she told him, was "whatever we wanted it to be." Goyette's lawyer, Charlotte Hassett, told The Times: "She maintained it was more of a massage situation  however you want to interpret that." [LINK]
