Will Maria Shriver tell all? Arnold Schwarzenegger's ex offered biggest book deal ever

schwarzenegger-shriver-gi.jpgHow much would someone have to pay you to spill your family's deepest secrets?

Maria Shriver may be putting a price on privacy, as Radar reports that publishing executives are prepared to offer Arnold Schwarzenegger's soon-to-be-ex-wife a record advance for a tell-all memoir. The largest book advance ever currently belongs to Bill Clinton, who pocketed $15 million for his memoir "My Life" before he even wrote it.

Shriver's recollections would certainly be juicy, even without the current paternity scandal plaguing her family. Shriver is a Kennedy, and the fascination with that family never fades. After growing up Democrat royalty, Shriver married a movie star who ultimately ran as a Republican.

Of course, she'd have to include her take on the whole situation where her husband fathered a child with their maid, too.

Shriver has already written six books, mostly for children. Her book "Ten Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Went Out into the Real World" is based on her 2000 commencement address at College of the Holy Cross. Her 10 things, by the way, are as follows:

1. First and Foremost: Pinpoint Your Passion
2. No Job Is Beneath You
3. Who You Work for and with Is as Important as What You Do
4. Your Behavior Has Consequences
5. Be Willing to Fail
6. Superwoman is Dead (and Superman may be taking Viagra)
7. Children Do Change Your Career (Not to Mention Your Entire Life)
8. Marriage is a Hell of a Lot of Hard Work
9. Don't Expect Anyone Else to Support You Financially
10. Laughter

We're sure some of those bits of advice are coming in handy during her family's difficult time -- especially as she announced on Friday that she's officially filed for divorce from Schwarzenegger.

Apparently, if Shriver does strike a deal, it's unlikely that she'll publish a book before her youngest son, Patrick, turns 18 in 2015.

Only IF Maria tells THE TRUTH.. Nobody is buying she just found out few months ago. Californians could have been spared another HORRIBLE Governor.

I wonder if she'll admit that she's known about "The Terminator Jr" for years. Now that Arnold is no longger Gov she no longger has any use for him.

She's ready to nail his *** no matter what price it is and clean him out as well.

The question is: Do we really care what this horse-faced woman has to say?

I think it shows how strong she is. She held out this long to the man she loves, despite his flaws. And even so, she supported him through his stint as governor and once it was over, she did what a smart woman would do. She split. She stayed longer than she had to, for him, and she's leaving now because she can't trust him. She's kind and smart.

^ or maybe it just shows she was stupid to trust him in the 1st place, his behavior begged the question of his being a major philanderer!!
