Who 'Sabotaged' Arnold?: Latest Film Bombs

 Not even. Sure, his new flick was so dwarfed by the "Noah" marketing blitz that you can be forgiven if you didn't know there was a new Arnold Schwarzenegger movie this weekend. But there was, and "Sabotage," which cost an estimated $35 million to make, earned a mere $5.3 million over the weekend.

 "I just walked up to her to give her like a friendly girly kiss, you know, as girls do, and then she like tried to move her head and go deeper and I pulled away," she said. "God knows where that tongue has been. We don't know! That tongue is so infamous!"

 Not surprisingly, Cyrus wasn't too pleased with her comments, and responded Wednesday.

Clearly, Miley's alluding to the reports that Katy has split with her on-and-off boyfriend -- and notorious serial dater -- John Mayer....More
