Maria Shriver: Dating Coach-Matchmaker

by Tom Miller

When you make a blockbuster movie playing Arnold Schwarzenegger’s sidekick, you get taken care of. And Tom Arnold is finding this out the hard way. The comedy relief to Schwarzenegger’s super serious super agent in the 1994 action flick True Lies has not had an easy time with the ladies. Following his rise-to-fame marriage to Rosanne Barr, Tom Arnold has burned through 3 marriages and clearly needs a little help. So, when you need a little help with the ladies who better to turn to than a Kennedy?

According to Contact Music, Maria Shriver is providing relationship advice and lessons to Tom Arnold after his most recent divorce from Shelby Roos last spring. After a year off of the dating scene (which is often code for being on the hooker scene), Tom Arnold is ready to put himself back out there and, evidently, Maria Shriver doesn’t trust him with this responsibility on his own. In addition to the advice and coaching, she’s actually been playing matchmaker to the ‘comedic’ actor. It’s good to be the Governator’s little buddy.

But that’s not always a great solution. Per Arnold, you really don’t know what your friends think of you until they set you up with someone. And his friends think he’s fat and old. Awesome observation, Tom Arnold. Sometimes your friends have the luxury of matching you with someone they think might work. And sometimes your friends match you up with whoever is available and, chances are, the good ones are all taken (or capable of finding their own dates). So, if anyone is up for dating Tom Arnold, head out to LA, become familiar with Dotspotter, and let the magic happen.
