Comedian Tom Arnold took inspiration for his baby son's name from gritty TV show Sons Of Anarchy.

The True Lies actor became a first-time father on April 6th when his wife Ashley gave birth to little Jax Copeland, who was named after Charlie Hunnam's outlaw biker character on the hit show.

Arnold tells People.com, "My dad's name is Jack and I wanted to honor him, but not too much. I am a fan of and worked on Sons of Anarchy and my favorite character's name is Jax. We just thought it was a cool name. Of course I called Kurt Sutter, the show creator, to get his blessing.

With the exception of anything brought to you courtesy of Adam Sandler, it’s become as clear as filtered water during the last couple of years… comedies have become raunchier, bolder, harder and extremely rough, and guess what? They’re hitting their mark! R-rated comedies seem to be gaining leverage among the masses and the results are quite obvious – most of us enjoy them. In a day-and-age where there’s way too much close-minded prudishness going on, why not take advantage out of all those suckling situations, flip them, and present them with humor as rough as they’re currently hitting our...

Now that California's been Governated, Arnold Schwarzenegger has a lot of time on his hands, and purportedly wants to get back to what he does best, i.e. snapping bad guy necks, using them as human shields, and making a barely discernible quip. Onscreen.

Many of the franchises he put on the map have found a way to carry on without him during his term in office, be it Predators, Terminators, Conans, Total Recalls, even Batmans. How the latter has managed to "kick some ice" without him we'll never know. It seemed very possible that another of his signature roles, superspy Harry Tasker in "Tr...

Actor Tom Arnold recently stepped into the boxing ring after his rabbi challenged him to a fight.

The True Lies star thought it would be fun to step into the gym, shed a few pounds and toughen up - but he admits he wasn't looking forward to getting into the ring with his spiritual adviser for the charity scuffle, dubbed the Rumble in the Temple.

He says, "It's a lose lose... You either lose to your rabbi or you beat up your rabbi."

The Jewish punch-up raised cash for a rehab center, and Arnold was surprised so many people wanted to see someone smack him in the face.

Arnold was trained b...

If one show has impassioned, loyal fans to be reckoned with, it's "Psych."

The grassroots campaign appeared about a week before the official "Psych" Facebook page cracked the 1 million member milestone on October 20.

Where The Wild Things Are based on the beloved children's book opens in theaters today. Although some critics say the visuals are spectacular while the script is a little thin, it should draw in massive crowds due to its iconic standing in the children's publishing world.

Children's books made into movies go over much better when viewed in two age brackets: when the audience is comprised of children who have recently read the book, or when the audience is comprised of adults so far removed from childhood that anything resembling their favorite book is romanticized and judged in a less se...

Who digs funny couples? Not the awkward, laughing-at-you kind that might be clueless or socially weird but the legitimately engaging, entertaining and hilarious ying and yang of Mr. & Mrs. Whomever. Rarely will the life of the party date the other life of the party - at times there's not enough attention to go around. But sometimes it happens, and if we're lucky they'll go into showbiz.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger turned to actor pal Tom Arnold when he was recently left stranded in the Middle East ahead of a crucial speech.

Arnold found himself delivering his True Lies co-star's speech to 60,000 members of California's Chamber of Commerce, and he couldn't resist the temptation to preach against the proposed ban on gay marriage in the state.

True Lies star Tom Arnold has urged his peers to stay out of the feud between actors unions and the movie studios - because their comments aren't helping resolve issues and thwart a strike.

The movie star insists recent public comments made by the likes of George Clooney, Tom Hanks and Sean Penn only serve to hinder union bosses as they attempt to work out new deals on working conditions and royalties for their members.

Arnold feels sure there will be no actors strike - as long as union bosses are allowed to do their job without the input of outspoken stars.

He says, "We've g...
