Arnold Schwarzenegger was detained in Munich over an ‘unregistered’ watch and taken to an ATM, Pharrell Williams unveiled a Western Cowboy-themed Louis Vuitton collection, and Richard Simmons reiterated he’s not tied to Pauly Shore’s biopic about him.

Richard Simmons wants to make it crystal clear he has absolutely NO involvement in an upcoming biopic starring Pauly Shore, which is now officially in development and coming to a theater near you soon. Richard’s rep reiterated that Pauly’s project isn’t authorized, and notes Richard might not even be aware the movie’s on the Hollywood conveyor belt at this point. It’s reported that Pauly and Richard’s team spoke last year about Pauly portraying him in a film, but Richard’s people told the comedian the timing wasn’t right for Richard to get on board. Pauly’s thing just ain’t it, though.

Pauly is also portraying Richard in a short film called ‘The Court Jester,’ which is premiering this week at The Sundance Film Festival in Utah. Richard has not been seen in public for years, but in 2022, TMZ released ‘TMZ Investigates: What Really Happened to Richard Simmons’ on FOX and Hulu, which drew a huge response and resulted in Richard posting a rare message to his fans. Pauly and Richard have some connections, they’ve known each other for decades, and Richard also knew Pauly’s late mother, Comedy Store owner Mitzi Shore, but so far, they’re not connecting for this flick.

We’ll see what comes of it in the end, and whether Richard changes his tune once it’s actually out. Considering his incredible story, it also sounds like an Oscar waiting to happen.
