Schwarzenegger announced Friday he would no longer serve as executive editor of Flex and Muscle and Fitness magazines amid charges that the deal represented a serious conflict of interest.

Regulatory filings by the magazines' publisher, American Media, Inc., showed that Schwarzenegger's compensation as executive editor was tied directly to the magazines' ad sales, the vast majority which are for nutritional supplements.

Schwarzenegger signed the magazine contract two days before taking office as governor and vetoed legislation last year that would have restricted the use of such supplements in high school sports.

"It's the way it is in life – you encounter problems and you try to eliminate them as quickly as possible and then move on," Schwarzenegger said Monday about the magazine controversy. He added that he while he wasn't sorry about losing the approximately $8 million he was expected to reap in the five-year deal, first lady Maria Shriver was less sanguine.

"I have no problem about the money, but my wife has a little problem with that. She thinks it means less diamonds or something like that," Schwarzenegger said.

Schwarzenegger is keeping the money he already got from the magazines. Probably about a million.

8. I just don't believe it, as much as I dislike her

He's just wiping his ass with a woman publically. typical idiot blaming his greed on her. I hope she cuts his steroid shrunken balls off.

10. Ain't that the truth!

I'm surprised that they did not detail the conflict of interest. Right after he penned the deal, he vetoed a bill by Jackie Speier that would have kept steroids (advertised in these magazines) away from kids.
Gray Davis is no rock star, but he has recently apologized for our energy crisis, and he didn't have to. He said he didn't see it coming.
Maybe he should step up.

13. Never mind Maria, I want the diamonds

I could sell them. Then I could pay off my debts and get decent medical care for Hubby, who has to put up with MediCal/CMSP BullS***. Gad, what a cad.
