The Arnold Schwarzenegger scandal keeps churning along, and there are plenty of as-of-yet unknown details and future developments to keep us busy for some time. The best way I’ve found to catch up on all the breaking news in this story is in the “Divorce” section of HuffPo. They have some general divorce articles and advice in there, and it’s also the best aggregate source I’ve found for all the Arnold stories.

First off is The Enquirer’s kind of explosive claim that the Attorney General’s office is conducting an inquiry into whether Arnold misappropriated taxpayer money by having members of his California Highway Patrol security team ferry women to his suites at hotels. (Are you hearing the CHiPs theme song in your head? I am, and I’m seeing Ponch and Jon joking around with some little blonde thing as they walk her to the Governor’s suite. Who am I kidding? He liked them big and brunette.)

In a bombshell exclusive, RadarOnline.com has learned the Office of the Attorney General, a branch of the Department of Justice, is conducting a preliminary evaluation into the scope of Schwarzenegger’s double life, which allegedly included using his state-funded security details to cover up women being escorted into his hotel room.

Veteran hotel security officer William Taylor said he witnessed the “Governator” using California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers and vehicles to ferry scantily-clad women in-and-out of his suite at the Sacramento Hyatt Regency where he and wife Maria Shriver often stayed.

“It makes me very angry just to think of what was going on at that time,” Taylor, who passed a polygraph test about his claims, told the latest edition of the National Enquirer.

“On three differed occasions after the governor arrived alone at the Hyatt Regency, CHP Dignitary Protection Services arrived in their official vehicles, black Ford Crown Victoria sedans – about one to two hours later with one or two young females.

“They’d hurriedly escort the women through the service entrance on the second floor parking garage to the elevator that went to the governor’s private wing… the women would usually stay for two to four hours and either leave through the hotel’s main entrance or be driven away by the CHP in the same official vehicles.”

TMZ of course tries to refute this, like the competitive high school girl they are, and has former members of Arnold’s security force quoted on the record as saying that they never witnessed anything out of the ordinary with Arnold. Arnold has hired attorney Marty Singer, who calls the story from Radar and The National Enquirer a fabrication. It sounds like the Enquirer has a source, though, and that they’re standing by their story.

Meanwhile that mistress who hired Gloria Allred, former child actress Gigi Goyette, has a new video interview with Extra. (Below.) Gigi previously gave details of her affair with Arnold to The National Enquirer, and you can read about that here. She doesn’t say anything new to Extra. This whole scandal is looking even more similar to the Tiger Woods mess. Some of his hired help went to Extra too.

Speaking of the hired help, Arnold’s first known extramarital baby momma, Mildred Baena, has threatened to sue Entertainment Tonight for that interview in which her ex husband insisted that he thought her youngest son was his. Baena’s lawyer writes that the ex knew all along that he couldn’t have fathered the 13 year-old, because he was out of the country when the boy was conceived. Also, as many of you pointed out, although the ex husband is listed as the father on the child’s birth certificate, Mildred checked the box for “no minor children” when she filed for divorce.

Amid all this, Arnold has fled to Ketchum, Idaho, where he was seen riding a bike. TMZ has a photo of him there. I googled the place and it’s a ski area, Sun Valley, with plenty of luxury resorts. I would assume the guy is renting an entire house. That just looks amazing. I need a vacation.
